0 Welcome with Doug
(0:00:00) Doug here first half-hour! (0:02:45) Welcome.
1 Doug: Obsessions, fear, procrastination, mindset against what I don’t wanna do
(0:03:18) Obsessions…
(0:03:48) Oh yeah, I’m Doug.
(0:04:48) A man relates… procrastination, fear
(0:07:38) Anybody else? Everybody’s perfect. I do this all the time.
(0:09:32) … What I don’t wanna do.
(0:10:25) Alexis: Having a preference… bad attitude. (0:11:41) A mindset of what I don’t wanna do — what I’ve lost, I should be OK to do what I gotta do… Sweeping, etc.
(0:12:25) Nick yells at him not to lean. You ain’t at home. Anonymous message. Joel chimes in…
(0:13:25) A fear of doing it…
(0:15:05) Franky… (0:16:40) Doug…
(0:17:45) Omeed… Subtle fears… Worries of dealing with stuff. (0:19:45) A lie I didn’t realize.
(0:19:55) Man says he just does stuff when prompted. Making a practice. It loses the sense of uncomfortability. Something I don’t prefer to do. Why not?
(0:22:34) Doug’s huge comfort zone …
(0:23:42) … Man: Like doing taxes? Cleaning up? (0:25:01) Fear, dread… Thoughts talking myself out of it… Fear.
(0:28:07) A game… says Vanessa. … A trick…
(0:31:05) Easy to lose my awareness…
(0:31:21) Franky: Comfort is death. …
(0:32:44) Young man with blue button-up shirt: Vices numb you… comfort zone. Music, gum, while cleaning or exercising, etc. (0:33:45) Going into my head, to be in a comfort zone. (0:35:08) Young man: I end up talking to myself if no music or gum…
2 Jesse: Comfort Zone
(0:36:26) That was good, I was surprised. You wanna … Merry Christmas! (0:37:17) You like white people?
(0:37:37) He so in his comfort zone he lazy. But yet not lazy.
(0:38:00) Rene: Comfort zone.
(0:38:44) Stay with it! Tee… (0:40:07) Nobody love you.
3 Prayer at the Post Office, DMV, rudeness
(0:40:32) Q from man: Praying without ceasing… (0:41:44) Prayer means: Staying present. With God. …
(0:42:21) Not allowed to ask questions at the Post Office …
(0:43:21) DMV another place….
(0:44:02) Should I have done the Silent Prayer first? Alexis… (0:45:06) Man: You expect everything to go well. (0:45:28) JLP interrupts: It’s not knowing where I’m at. It’s knowing where I am! …
(0:47:23) Are you rude sometimes? Yes. Mama… (0:47:48) JLP: Any man who has anger is a mama. He’s pure woman. Sound like a woman, carry on like a woman, afraid like a woman.
(0:48:45) Alexis: Responding back when someone’s rude. You respond because you want to. You don’t have to.
3B I love the Post Office
(0:49:12) Post Office better than being home with your wife… Vanessa’s husband… She dares you to ask two questions… It could be very triggering
(0:50:35) I work at the DMV… I get annoyed … I have a reputation of not fighting with customers as much as coworkers do … I tell a story: One man at the Post Office, processing
3C Side note about cell phone
(0:53:17) JLP: When people in church and on the cell phone. What’s going on. Are you paying attention to the church or the cell phone?
3D Back to the Post Office
(0:54:04) Joel… (0:55:12) Omeed … You guys are all the Postal workers…
(0:56:03) I didn’t say what happened. … What happened?
(0:56:44) Nick… best hair joke… (0:57:53) Let yourself be disrespected…
3E JLP advice
(0:58:07) JLP advice: Feel the fear… Go through it. Ask every Q you need to ask. What you’re feeling is in you. Who is there to be disrespected? There is no you to feel the fear, those are demons…
(1:00:38) Who was getting annoyed? I was rude, loud… Ego was affected, and you thought it was you. Someone piped up in line.
(1:02:55) … Pearl clutching… Doesn’t matter if it was Queen Elizabeth … (1:03:33) You went unconscious, that’s why you felt it. When it happens again, just be aware… There is no you. Devils fighting devils…
3F Harassment response
(1:04:41) JLP: Someone was harassing me. They said, I love you. I told them I hate you. Consciously say things.
(1:05:32) Elijah: Punchie…
4 Duke lacrosse woman: Don’t take sides
(1:06:11) Duke lacrosse case
(1:06:37) Hake explains what he knows of the story
(1:08:32) The lawyer lost his license. The woman killed boyfriend. So she’s in prison. Now she’s
(1:09:27) What do you think of that woman doing that… (1:09:44) JLP: It was pure evil. The reaction: The blacks against the whites. They assumed right away it was racism. People fighting one another over a lie.
(1:10:32) JLP: Don’t take sides. They didn’t even want you to question a woman! Women have been lying all over the place about being raped. The Devil gave her that kind of authority. You’re not allowed to question. Why was this slut at a party?
(1:11:20) The woman: It was fulfilling their ego to go the distance with the lie.
(1:11:49) 2006, says Franky. BLM happened, he says…
(1:12:52) JLP: I don’t know. People jump on you for not taking a side.(Note: BLM happened in 2012-2014 after Trayvon Martin lie, and Mike Brown lie.) It’s ok!
(1:13:54) Man: Are you better than Diddy? Free Diddy!
4B Woman leaving, Overreacting to the Devil, No reputation
(1:15:08) Same spirit of when a woman leaves.
(1:16:12) Raymond: Lacrosse incident … (1:17:09) JLP: Every time you overreact to a situation, the Devil is winning. (1:17:30) JLP: Christ and those guys never reacted to the Devil. They won the battle and their name was changed to a different name.
(1:18:40) Roseanne Barr’s show: Reputation. You ain’t got no reputation. You wanna be whole.
(1:20:11) Omeed: Changing of names? Reputation. False rumors.
5 Biblical Q, Kosher sweet potato pie?
(1:21:38) Last week’s BQ: Who knows what it was? (1:22:05) Israeli guy Tomer (sp) Guess? (1:22:32) JLP interrupts: Did you know Jews know how to make sweet potato pie? What’s Kosher? Roseanne made me sweet potato pie. She named all these Jew pies. She’s like, I used to hang around with black people…
(1:24:21) Back to the BQ… (1:25:10) Vanessa can’t answer.. (1:25:23) Another man…
(1:26:23) “The skinhead” (Hispanic-looking guy), 24, getting caught up in the imagination in anticipation of a trip. BQ: I found God. … Guy next to him got a sore throat and hasn’t said a single word… don’t wanna force him…
(1:28:44) Alex: I think I found God, and I guess He found me. He pulled a number on me… since April 2023, hit rock bottom a few times, and bounced back, much to my surprise. Why did I survive… (1:29:43) You even have a girlfriend… She’s like two years older than me… (1:31:33) Talking to my son: He doesn’t like “cat terms.” Don’t show weakness…
5B Don’t you hate too-many-details people? BQ continued
(1:32:33) JLP: Don’t you hate it when you talk to people, and they tell you all the details?
(1:33:08) Man: I found God… Life getting better…
(1:34:02) Another man: God’s still lookin’ for me. Why don’t you let him find you? I love my misery. I love my hell. Why do you love your hell? Makes the day go by faster.
(1:34:59) Doug gonna say He found me. All people are evil. Idk that I’d be looking.
(1:35:39) Cheyenne (sp), I don’t know. I think He was always there.
(1:36:25) Yet another man… (1:37:08) 29, working on life. (1:37:43) Forgave your mother? Went to her? No. Actually, I did.
(1:39:00) Young people have it bad…
5C Nothing good in human beings. BQ continued.
(1:39:00) Alexis: How evil you are? (1:40:58) JLP: Do not trust an angry person. (1:42:18) JLP on people who’ve killed their wives and buried her under the porch… As soon as you can realize you are no good… Only sin to be able to admit you’re evil. People like to think they’re good. Christians worse than atheists.
(1:43:45) Evil people…
(1:44:09) More feedback… (1:44:24) Sign says: Look for the good in everyone… You’re not gonna find it!
(1:44:55) Joel: I think God found me…
(1:45:24) Franky: I found God… I thought I knew God, but it was the Devil…
(1:46:08) Billy is like a genius… Young lady answers… More answers…
(1:48:21) Raymond: I’m still searching
5D Bill… Hake… Husband of “crazy” wife
(1:48:40) Billy: I guess God found me. I don’t know. (1:49:36) Another guy…
(1:49:57) The DMV guy: I think I found God and lost God a few different times. And I’m still searching.
(1:50:45) Hake…
(1:52:23) Is your wife obeying you? (1:54:18) Vanessa
5E JLP on BQ: Didn’t know I was lost. Women…
(1:54:27) JLP on BQ… I was lost, but I didn’t know I was lost. Same misery everyone else. Didn’t know how to deal with women: This time I’m gonna get this bitch. (1:55:03) I didn’t know bitch was a bad word… Women are a mess!
(1:57:43) Lost… (1:58:23) Light will get brighter… What it is to see… Devil doesn’t know he cannot see. Angry people don’t know they’re the Devil. The Devil doesn’t know he’s the Devil, because he can’t see. He has no relationship with God at all. We have a chance. He’s all evil. We’re all evil, because of the nature of the Devil in the heart.
(1:59:25) Question yourself: Why don’t I have peace? Christians don’t believe you can have peace! What’s the purpose of believing in a God who’s not going to give you peace? … You’re gonna have perfect peace
(2:00:45) Drop all thoughts…
6 John 3: 17 Don’t condemn the world. Transgenders. Assignment
(2:00:54) Hake reads John 3: 17 For God did not send the Son to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
(2:01:30) You gotta stop condemning the world. Judging: The right man or woman. God’s not even into the male-female thing at all.
(2:02:57) Transgender: They literally feel that way. They don’t know they’re evil spirits in their minds. They identify with those spirits, and call it themselves. Point out to them: That’s not you. They’re demons inside of you.
(2:05:04) Assignment: Don’t judge this week. At all. Not even yourself.
6B Puberty blockers?
(2:05:50) You gotta be lost: Cutting off the body parts, and putting 100 women parts on… You’re really no different.
(2:06:40) Puberty blockers?
(2:08:18) Doug explains… Another gal speaks…
6C Take control of your own life. Feedback…
(2:10:02) Take control of your own life. Trust no one. See it. Don’t judge it. The Light of God. He will protect you from evil. Stay present 24 hours a day. Be aware of your body in the present.
(2:11:34) JLP: When you see illegal aliens getting licenses at the DMV, stuff happens at the Post Office…. Watch yourself.
(2:12:01) Does that make sense? (2:12:50) JLP: We think we’re our thoughts and emotions… You have never done anything wrong. It wasn’t them… Jesse jokes about telling the FBI on the guys who killed their wives (they didn’t really).
(2:14:03) Live a nothing life. Work, eat, exercise, no opinion…
(2:14:20) Alexis — you don’t even need love from anyone! Sorry, Nick. …
(2:15:14) Man brings up Nefarious: Possessed by anger.
(2:15:55) Man at the Post Office: It wasn’t you. Do not give up. (2:16:30) JLP: The last thing the Devil wants is for you to be present. Be still and become the watcher of the not-you…
(2:17:58) Humans try to be perfect…
6D New BQ, closing
(2:18:43) When Jesus said, “I and my Father are one,” what does that mean?
(2:19:11) Feedback… Women’s Forum…
