CHURCH NOTES 8/23/26
📖 Biblical Question (BQ): Why is it OK to discriminate against men but not women?
📝 Assignment for Men's History Month: Don't get angry or argue with anyone, especially your woman.
Jesse wants to discuss the "If—" poem.
The poem "If—" is by the British poet Rudyard Kipling.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son! [If— (Wikipedia)]

00 - Welcome
(0:00:00) Start after 11 (0:01:01) Intro (0:01:19) Welcome
(0:01:43) Hake can’t come to work but…
01 - Divorce the World: Set Free
(0:01:58) Set all of you free today. You can divorce the world. Can’t help anyone. Something wrong with you.
(0:03:27) I have proof, don’t need it. Donyale
(0:04:21) Tell them. Donyale: Catch the waves of thoughts. Put sticky notes on bathroom mirror, and on HUSBAND'S bathroom mirror as well.
(0:06:20) I told Jason I think I might be overstepping. I’m gonna take the sticky notes off. He said thank you. How evil we are, as women, and how selfish I was.
(0:07:48) Jesse: Leave people alone! What’s wrong with you? Religious people got it bad. They hate em.
(0:09:07) Divorce the world
(0:09:41) Friend wanted to go help the world. Can’t help anyone. Stop it. Donyale says it feels lighter and more authentic. He’s out of prison.
1B - Raymond: Thoughts attach you to the world.
(0:11:19) Raymond on nightmare of a giant spider
(0:12:29) Thoughts keep you attached to the world. When you stop thinking about the world you will have separated from it.
(0:13:37) JLP: the Devil would rather you to believe the Bible is the infallible word of God. It’s in your heart.
(0:14:09) Divorce yourself from the world. They don’t like you anyway. You’ll be happier. Look at govt. helping the homeless, getting worse.
(0:15:17) JLP: Homeless people so evil, nasty, grumpy... ever kicked a homeless person? Wake up! Junk around them. Giving people money! They won't pay you back! Stop giving people your money!
02 - Stop giving women money if you're not married!
(0:16:49) One other thing. Guys, stop giving women your money if you're not married to her! Weak, dumb, unheard-of! Why give a woman money you're not even married to!
(0:18:26) One guy met a girl online, she lived in another country. He'd been giving her money.
(0:19:59) Anybody know? It was so unheard-of — don’t accept it!
(0:21:47) Andrew: Parents, Teachers, Society, Music, TV, Ego
(0:23:04) Josh from GA: It's transactional
(0:25:17) Eric: Expected among Koreans to pay for everything
(0:26:15) JLP: Doesn't anything kick in? Being cheap? Don't you have a cheap side to you?
(0:27:08) JLP: My daddy was real cheap. … Even if you’re married, you don’t let the woman spend it on all her thrills.
(0:28:06) Franky: I’d buy them dresses, jackets…
(0:29:53) Kurt: Older men said happy wife, happy life.
(0:30:23) JLP: Stop taking the money, ladies! Stop giving them money, guys!…
(0:30:58) Raymond. WHATEVER.
03 - Sit in the pain
(0:31:19) JLP: Learn to sit in your pain. Sit in the pain. Go through hell. Depression, suicidal thoughts, wants
(0:34:24) A guy called the show: Started the Silent Prayer, but stopped.
(0:35:23) The law says to stay in the Light.
(0:37:20) Josh: I constantly not doing it.
(0:39:25) Josh continues
(0:40:14) JLP: Stop …
(0:41:04) JLP: No such thing as... failure.. There's no you for failure.
3B - Stop fighting! In politics? Let the Light work.
(0:41:33) About "convincing"... One of the dumbest things all people do... Human beings argue with each other! pro-abortion, anti-abortion.
(0:42:18) Report: Actor, a black guy walked up behind him and knocked him out. Black people been told white people are their problem. People are high AND angry.
(0:43:14) Nothing on earth to fight for. Fighting for Jesus?!
(0:44:06) JLP: I used to fight alongside people. They’re DEAD!
(0:45:02) Anything worth fighting for? Man …
(0:46:02) JLP: Trump is not fighting. He's doing.
(0:47:17) JLP: I'd never pass a bill that would give a woman permission to kill the child in the womb.
(0:48:22) What we should do: Vote for people who won't support it. If they don't do what they say…
(0:49:42) You can even have debates without arguing. Let the light do everything through you.
(0:51:10) JLP: Lay your weapons down and let the Lord fight your battle. Hard to find people who truly trust the Light. Children of God never get angry.
3C - Wait in pain. Stay with the pain.
(0:52:56) JLP: Painful sitting, waiting for days! Some won't wait! Their minds get busy.
(0:54:19) JLP: I dated a lot. Had to hurry up and find another girl. Didn’t know I had to wait in that pain.
3D - Describing the pain. Been raped? Forgive and forget.
(0:56:21) My friend from New York! Mamdani! Young lady describes the pain
(0:57:27) JLP: Emotional pain worse than physical pain, I sometimes think.
(0:57:54) JLP: I hear people complaining. Oh, when I was little, I was raped! Now they're 30 and they still feel raped! Why don't you forgive and forget! YOU were not raped, your BODY was raped. Your BODY has healed. Because you're angry... If you forgive, your pain on the inside will disappear! I’m afraid of all men, they wanna rape me.
(0:59:12) Lady: I couldn't see…
(0:59:46) JLP: You're not your body. Your body was raped. The body healed. People and the Devil love the thrill of remembering. Forget, it's done. Same thing that caused the person to rape is causing you to remember — You're no better than the rapist! ... Gotta forgive and forget. Evil made a home in human beings. It's not them.
(1:02:23) Still being a doormat. Hard, but effective.
(1:04:59) You don't feel anything at all. Catch it. People think I've become cold.
(1:06:07) JLP: 95-percent of people cannot stand alone. You must stand alone. Afraid, weak, pathetic. Rare.
04 - Looking at yourself, who you're not. Being me. God made you you.
(1:07:24) Man
(1:08:31) When you're looking at yourself, you're really looking at thoughts and emotions that are not you at all. When you know who you're NOT, you remember who you are.
(1:09:43) JLP: Somebody asked Christ something like… How do we be like you? No, be you.
(1:11:02) JLP: I LOVE being me. God made you you.
(1:11:59) JLP: When looking at yourself, you're seeing the illusionary self — not really yourself yet.
(1:12:15) Man continues …
(1:12:49) Man: Greater works… Be you!
05 - Embarrassed hearing myself talk, saying nothing (Donyale)
(1:13:27) Donyale listened to herself from past archive Church services: I thought I was saying something, but it was meandering stream of consciousness. (1:14:37) I could not get through it.
(1:15:14) Donyale: I was very embarrassed, red.
(1:15:33) JLP: When I first started BOND… Hake correcting my English.
(1:17:11) Donyale: Embarrassment, that's the Devil
(1:17:46) JLP: Spirit of anger will be taken away from you
(1:19:36) JLP: Devil cannot stay alive if you stop. He gonna scream and yell. Feel embarrassment, let it stay there. Live in the pain! You're not even the one feeling the pain! In your body but not even real!
(1:20:14) You see Josh? White people love to say Jess. You don’t see Josh. You see his body, hear his voice, see his clothes, but you don’t see the real person.
(1:21:08) When we see people on the outside, we think (oh, nice person)... But that's not them at all.
06 - Getting angry at work, not catching the thought. Stop. Be aware.
(1:21:45) This young lady's first time here. Autumn. Not auto like autopilot. Sean (spelling?) in Spain?
(1:22:37) Catching the thought? Getting angry at work…
(1:23:20) JLP: Don't worry about it. As you grow spiritually, you'll become more and more aware... Become aware of what you're thinking, of what you're doing. The anger will disappear.
(1:25:18) JLP: When people say, you don't value me, or I'm not valued. They're not worth a dime!
6B - Silent Prayer. Prayed for a husband? Want for nothing
(1:25:59) Silent Prayer?
(1:27:16) Ever prayed to God for a husband?
(1:29:12) The Devil will answer your prayers
(1:29:39) You don't have a husband right? You want one? Don't want one. Not supposed to want for anything.
07 - Attacked by thoughts, the Devil (Lady)
(1:30:53) Get attacked by the Devil?
(1:32:33) JLP: Don't think about that — that's another thought
(1:33:16) JLP: A good friend thinks he may have some medical problem … Lady thought she wasn’t gonna make it to church, she was so tired.
(1:34:28) JLP: All those thoughts are the Devil…
7B - Asking for more light (Man)
(1:35:13) Asking for the Light? He was all cheap with the Light!
08 - Worship in Spirit and Truth? Churches
(1:36:24) Lady at Episcopalian church, versus worshiping in spirit and truth?
8B - In love with grandma
(1:38:53) Lady was hoping Jesse wouldn't call on her.
(1:39:41) I'm doing well…
(1:40:03) How's grandma? Tell her hello for me. I'm in love with her. It may be my fault.
09 - Gov't, religion. Mother & daughter. Squatter neighbors (Japanese, Korean?)
(1:40:32) Hi! Question or comment
(1:42:48) JLP: Religion and government are the same, enemies of human beings
(1:43:40) They're Japanese! Oh, they're Korean!
(1:44:16) Did you drop your anger?
(1:45:45) Daughter, how do you deal with your mother's hell?
(1:48:21) Put her in an old folks home!
(1:49:00) She’s never gonna stop till you walk away.
9B - Squatter neighbors. Mother & daughter: Elon's not coming! Doctors using you!
(1:49:12) Homelessness?
(1:53:36) JLP: No one can help anyone
(1:54:17) Elon is not coming! Get rid of your mama!
(1:55:25) Doctor using you too!
10 - Live with it. "If—" poem
(1:55:55) Remember, earlier, I said, Live with it. Use nothing to escape.
(1:57:24) Who reads really well? Josh, oh God.
(1:58:08) Josh reads "If—" by Rudyard Kipling
(2:00:09) Andrew (2:00:42) Donyale: …doormat… (2:01:08) Raymond: grace
(2:01:25) Another man, Chris, I think: Blueprint for life
(2:01:40) JLP: If you do all those… not react, not judge, not complain, you’ll become a man, you’ll become a woman. … Become a doormat, stay present… Go through hell to get to heaven. It’s not you suffering, but the Devil. Go all the way with this. Endure to the end.
(2:03:34) Young lady in red
(2:04:13) Spoiled brat. Brielle (spelling?), 13, Don’t be mad. Just like your mama.
11 - BQ: Discriminate against men, not women?
(2:05:03) BQ: Donyale…
(2:06:08) It’s not OK. Women emotional, backbiting. Men aren’t gossips, backstabbing, chattering.
Eric: Men made women their god.
(2:07:40) Doug: we’ve been taught mostly by women. Taught not to give em money.
Daniel: man represents God, I think he said.
(2:08:36) Out of time! closing…
