Church Notes
Biblical Question: What good have you gotten out of religion?
New Biblical Question: Why do you want the approval of anyone else?
Men’s Forum first Thurs, Mar 6, 2025, 7 PM, BOND, L.A. https://rebuildingtheman.com/events/
1 Welcome / Mushrooms?
(0:00:00) Small talk (0:01:06) Welcome
(0:01:41) We’re talking to “drug addicts,” Jesse says.
(0:01:59) One guy did mushrooms. With a shaman? No, with a friend.
(0:05:03) Another did it as well as LSD. (0:06:08) Don’t do sherman (shaman / shrooms)! I’m just learning!
(0:06:57) I’ve done it. Kids get delusions of grandeur. In small doses, some people get past PTSD. It can scramble your brains permanently!
(0:08:26) Back to You “found God.” It felt like…
(0:09:52) A fourth guy…
(0:11:34) Amazing someone can find God any other way other than dying. You don’t die. It’s just an illusion.
(0:12:17) Vanessa took it when given. She found Lucifer, but not God. But she thought she had.
(0:13:33) A man did it at home alone, and was convinced it was a good idea to kill himself. But he didn’t do it.
2 Health issue: ‘It sucks!’ No time. God’s will. The body.
(0:14:09) A man who was concerned about his health a couple weeks ago. What do you think about your condition? “It sucks!” (0:16:20) JLP: … And it sucks! Why don’t you give it a try not to think about it at all? “It’s impossible!” Pain and bodily dysfunction. How do you know it’s impossible? “I don’t want pity, not trying to victimize myself.”
(0:18:18) Depressed as a result? (0:19:05) “The present time always leads to the future!” No it doesn’t! (0:19:27) JLP: The Earth is moving — but for the FE the earth is still! There is no time in the present. There is no time in the present. Period.
Let it pass. “You can’t!” (0:22:03) Yes, you can. You’re going to feel pain, but stop thinking about the pain, what you lost, what you could have. Take whatever meds. God will heal you if you want it. But you gotta not want it. (0:23:33) Why’s your body so important to you? (0:23:57) Do you think God wants you healed? “People in way worse predicaments than me.” Don’t look at other people’s situations. Never compare any situation.
(0:25:30) JLP: Your body’s too important to you. Seeking the Kingdom of God. Forget about the future — it doesn’t exist.
3 Feedback…
(0:27:34) JLP: Ladies, come up front. We’ll watch you and judge you. (Joking)
(0:28:00) Raymond (0:29:00) JLP: Gotta go through hell to get to heaven
4 Struggling with judgment at politics?
(0:29:30) Ryan: Praying not to judge? Another guy talks.
(0:32:44) I try to get a reaction out of those around me.
(0:33:23) Shayan (sp) — it makes me judgmental.
(0:34:01) Gal isn’t too concerned.
(0:34:30) JLP: Same spirit as what’s going on in my counseling, etc. Back to Ryan (0:38:21) Prayer? Nope! (0:39:10) … (0:40:04) Shayan (sp)
(0:42:08) Thoughts pass above the eyebrow. Just be aware of it. Don’t use your eyes — you’ll look like you’re crazy! They’ll think you’re dead!
5 Noticing ‘demonic’ mother; Distractions from Silent Prayer
(0:44:00) The Asian young lady who found Jesus on TikTok … I apologized to my mother. How’d that go? Catching things that are demonic. She said: “They left us.” I told her that’s being demonic. Think if I were a child, that could create my internal world. Silent Prayer … (0:46:49) Silent Prayer… (0:47:55) A lot of things trying to stop me from being silent. A lot of things. Crazy!
(0:50:51) A lot of clarity now… (0:51:08) JLP: Everything about you is fake. A room full of Devils! “Who will I be?” That’s evil.
6 Silent Prayer: Sleep
(0:53:53) Trying to pray without ceasing. Harder for me at night. Easy in the AM. Tired. Or after a glass of wine. (0:55:36) … Don’t make sleep important at all. Then you’ll be like Donald Trump (not promoting him!)
(0:56:39) Another man: Stay with it. (0:57:07) JLP: You do your best by not doing your best.
6B More feedback: Stuff too important
(0:57:30) Man up at 4:30, and people will call or text… A friend of his is in shape. Yet he’s depressed. (0:59:01) Married couples do that in relationships. Fight to keep her. (1:00:00) JLP: Ladies, don’t be saying, you gotta have children! You can have one at 99. And don’t need that artificial insemination thing!
7 Don’t care anymore? Not praying.
(1:00:26) Man on choice, hypothetical question about, say, finding a job. (1:02:15) Don’t care anymore: Is that too much? You don’t care … (1:03:45) First-timer… Silent Prayer: Trying to delete, rather than let it go… (1:05:20) JLP: Stop thinking about God. (1:05:54) JLP sings: Woke up this morning with my mind… (1:07:20) Practice staying present. (that’s our theme BTW)
(1:07:45) Did you forgive your mother? “In my mind!” That ain’t gonna work. Shaking in your boots, facing them.
7B Why forgive mother as first step?
(1:10:13) Why forgive mother? Why is that the first step? Because evil comes through the mother, and you have to forgive.
(1:11:36) How should I view relationships? If she’s gonna be evil?
(1:12:53) JLP thumps his chest: Glad to help you, soul brother! (laughter)
8 BQ, Lady and husband …
(1:13:12) Biblical Question: What good have you gotten out of religion? Woman… (1:15:22) Listening to you on YouTube, I feel like I’m addicted. Thoughts start coming. Let them pass. (1:15:54) Don’t let the Devil tell you you’re addicted. DOn’t let Hell talk you out of hearing the truth.
(1:16:35) Do you obey him? Her husband (1:16:59) When you say obey, what do you mean? She’s not making me miserable anymore! (1:17:35) Are you working on yourself? “Ugh… no, not at all…. I don’t know how…” Do you see you’re evil? (1:19:52) When you’re licking boots, doing things for people to be a good guy — you think you’re being good. Pay close attention to your motive. (1:20:32) You love your misery? Not miserable all the time.
9 Gal on BQ, religion, forgiveness?
(1:21:05) Another gal on the BQ… Grew up religious. (1:22:23) Why haven’t you forgiven parents? No… (1:23:36) Silent Prayer? No, forgot about it. Haven’t tuned in in a couple years.
(1:24:42) JLP: Don’t focus on the body. When women get sick, they love it! They promote health stuff, etc. (1:26:21) One with the Devil, and he does not know God. If you’re angry, you’re separated from God. “It’s not amazing.”
(1:27:08) Why the focus on the mother? (1:27:48) Do you see you have anger for your mother? She knows, too. Being oldest, having to be “second mom.”
… (1:29:35) Her friend who brought her answers the BQ.
10 She still hasn’t forgiven her mother
(1:30:19) A gal on BQ: I learned the basics, knowledge I wouldn’t have known. “Hey, brother, hey sister.” It felt fake, but I wanted it to be real. I didn’t fit in with their culture. It kept me open minded to something else. (1:32:10) She still hasn’t forgiven her mother who’s bought her for several weeks or more….
(1:33:45) She’s checking on me, overdoing it sometimes. Why haven’t you brought it to her attention! If you work on yourself you’ll see how much you hate her.
Raymond… more BQ answers
(1:34:59) Raymond: Absolutely nothing from religion. A facade to condition people.
(1:35:40) Another man: A bunch of liars. They do not listen to Jesus’ (?) words.
(1:36:25) The Asian gal: Unity and control. It’s good. She brings up the Jews…
11 BQ: Don’t let Satan talk you out of coming
(1:38:05) Another man on BQ: Nothing. Forgiven mother? (1:39:22) JLP: If the mother’s angry she can destroy the children while they’re in the womb. (1:40:24) Why haven’t you been coming? Wasn’t feeling right. (1:41:33) JLP: Don’t let Satan talk you out of coming. (1:42:49) Floyd Mayweather was successful because he was focused solely on boxing.
More on BQ
(1:45:36) Back to BQ: Man grew up Mexican, and saw the ritual of his mother or grandmother with her beads.
Side note to AFrican black guy who’s always late!
(1:47:16) Colin: There might be a way out. (1:47:46) Vanessa: A tutor, a mirror … Jesus is God, the Father, and the Son — next Sunday!
12 BQ: Saw Jesus?
(1:49:28) BQ: Not really that much! I saw Jesus one day? Is he black? What’d he want? Wanted me to surrender. Did you? At first. Forgive mother? Disabled. No. … I want to repent. Give up everything. How do I do that? Trying to believe doesn’t work. Stop thinking about him. “I think too much.” Living in imagination, worshiping the Devil.
13 JLP on BQ
(1:57:14) JLP on BQ — nothing good about religion. Illusions, and lies. All ego, from people to control other people. Tried to honor my parents, but it never worked!
(2:00:11) Pray…. (2:00:51) “You” are not real! I’m this, I’m that, I’m not this… There is no you! Stop judging.
(2:02:04) Jews… but they hate one another. I counsel with them too. They want to love, but they don’t. They got through the rituals like you do — with no meaning. You must be born again. We cannot hate one another.
(2:03:06) Anita is the African lady. Make sense? You can be free. Work on you. Only you are responsible for yourself. You are your world. Stop being selfish by pretending you care about others. You will when you stop caring
(2:03:54) Get on the straight and narrow, and stay there. (2:04:27) To the Lesbians — let yourself feel it! But don’t call it you. Same spirit everybody has. … Pray. Forgive. Men’s Forum! (2:06:10) Joking around about Black History Month!
