The Plan for humanity is based on the principles of sharing, cooperation, practical brotherhood, right relationships between all people and between nations, and goodwill in action.
These beliefs give a new dimension to spiritual reality and a long-range perspective to our present crises. They provide opportunity for cooperation with the spiritual evolution of humanity and increase our capacity for freedom.
i am in favour of theocracy but something thats true to its meaning. Not a pseudo-theocracy where men get all power and become invincible in the name of God.

The New World Order agenda includes a one world religion, but it certainly doesn’t sound anything like The Seven Mountain Domionists.
Okay.
I'll check out your link. I think that these Seven-Mountain-Dominionists are trying to bring about the NWO
Perhaps not the way the Illuminati do, though, but in their own way. Starting here in the USA.
I'd be very happy to have proof that I am mistaken.....
but so far....
it seems obvious and overt. And it worries me.
Please, feel free to disabuse me of my misunderstanding.
If I'm wrong, I want to know.
Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. 1 Corinthians 1:20-25
Many in the churches and in secular society are practicing the emptying of the mind through Buddhist and Hinduism techniques and are thoroughly convinced that what they experience is of God - visions, experiences, voices, psychic powers, healings, levitations, miracles etc. This IS the common denominator and the method of unity.
Two:
There is an inner spiritual government of the planet, known under such different names as the spiritual Hierarchy, the society of Illumined Minds, or Christ and his Church, according to various religious traditions. Humanity is never left without spiritual guidance or direction under the Plan.
WHY would you refuse to read it?
Can you answer that honestly?
I don’t need to be preached to by a pseudo intellectual atheist on how religion is bad.
Education: By law you have to send your kids to their schools. To be educated by their standard and their values. This starts already in kindergarden.

No, not in the USA you don't "by law" have to send your kids to "their" schools.
You have choices - you can home-school (it's easy to register and free - I did it when my son was thinking of dropping out of Public High School) - or you can send them to private schools.
School attendance is compulsory for most but not all children in the United States, but the age range for which school attendance is required varies from state to state. It begins between the ages of five and eight and ends between age 16 and 18.[25] Some states allow students to leave school between 14–17 with parental permission, before finishing high school; other states require students to stay in school until age 18. Many states do however allow gifted and talented students to accelerate their education so as to finish all educational requirements early.
Not sure who you're accusing of being a pseudo-intellectual. The book I'm reading was written by Darrel Ray, Ed. D.
That means doctorate in education. He was a working psychologist for 30 years, and has studied the phenomenon of religiosity and its techniques for decades.
If you're referring to me, I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work.
Neither he nor I can be accused of being "pseudo-intellectuals."
Urban Dictionary
Pseudo-intellectuals are people of average intelligence who are enchanted with highly intellectual topics and discussions such as philosophy, socioeconomics, destiny of humanity, etc.
The 'pseudo-religious' charlatans are the ones doing the preaching that he and I are talking about.
But, again, I understand your reluctance to have a look at the other side of the picture.
Okay not for all, but for the moste of them it is.

I read the whole thing. The parts I re-posted are what I said I didn't see anything wrong with. The rest of it didn't strike me as worth "pushing". But again, thanks for the information.
That’s kind of condescending, no?
You don’t think all people have questioned their existence at some point? I didn't find faith by NOT seeking answers!
And sure I can accuse him of being a pseudo intellectual!! I think all atheists are!
Don't you see the difference yet between the charm of the 7 mountain movement and the present one?
It wasn't meant to be condescending...it was meant to be validating. Sorry if it came across that way.
There are things I choose not to read, also. But the more I force myself to do it - as distasteful as some of it is to me - the more I learn about the ways people DO think...and that is what interests me.
All religious organizations need to stay the hell out of government…religion has no place in government. If we allow some wacky “Christians” to rule the roost then one day it may be Muslims who have the power to shove their theocracy down our throats (like they do in most ME countries). It's wrong no matter what group is doing it!
Coolio, then!
I'll be proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you to keep them out. Deal??
I support the fact that federal law bars all tax-exempt organizations that hold 501c status from meddling in elections or endorsing candidates for public office.
