When X Doesn’t Mark the Spot
Hello my friends, today on the blog, I’m sharing something I’ve had on the “back burner” for a while. But I can’t hold back any longer. I get so upset, I cry and I pray for those who harbor animosity towards someone (or a group of people). Wait….what am I writing about? Hatred, Bigotry, Antisemitism, Cruelty and all of the Ugly, Mean and Rotten things you can imagine rolled into one big ball of Horror. Twitter aka X.
That social platform has been a growing nightmare for far to long. I left twitter quite a while ago and never looked back. But I am plagued by the question, “how can so many people stay on X when there is so much ignorance and hatred there? ” What will it take to have people step out of the darkness and into the light. Why would anyone want to stay on a social network that perpetuates lies and hatred in all forms? Are there really that many people in the world with their minds so closed and their hearts so dark?
Those who despise and detest and want to destroy others. Liars of all sorts of self-serving purposes. They show their Godlessness with every word said and written. What caused so many people to manifest demons that consume their heart with hatred? They have fallen away from God!
I beg you, if you have not done so already, please step away from any gathering spot online or off that spews such violent hateful condemnation. I lost 7900 followers in one quick click and it’s okay! Hopefully some of them will find their way to me again. But, if not, well, that’s fine.
Merciful Lord we come to You today to ask for Your help for those who speak maliciously against others. For those whose hearts are misguided and filled with hatred. Those who claim to be faithful but propel hatred in all forms. Please hear our cry as we look to You to surround them with Your love. Please let them know You forgive their sins, and accept their repentance through Your love and sacrifice. We beg You to lead them from the darkness and into the love and light only You can give as our Lord and Savior. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

I left Twitter a long time ago too and never looked back. I don’t know if there’s a lot of trolls on Twitter or what, but they are just mean there. I’ve never had problems on Instagram.
Yes there are and yes there is a lot of just meanness going on there. It’s nice to know you found a safe place on Instagram. I wish I could generate something on Instagram that helped grow my audience. xo
The hatred towards Jews in this nation just floors me.
I am still on Twitter as the change with Elon Musk has driven away most of the far left, which has made it more pleasant.
Well said, Katherine. I’ve been saddened at the hatred and vitriol that is out there. The climate in this country has dramatically changed from kindness and inclusiveness to lies and fraud. I think many of us know why. There is a large part of our population that harbor hate and abusiveness to people “not like them.” What I don’t understand is that many are “godly church goers” who deny and will not listen to the truth of matters. And I’ve been the target of friends and family who are hostile to even listening to common sense and facts. Covid didn’t help at all, people’s hate and deception just festered on the social media sites. I’ve never been on twitter. Instagram is bad enough with people who look godly, but so deceived with conspiracy theories and lies. It amazes me that others cheer them on emphatically without even praying about their actions and words. Thanks for speaking the Truth.
Thank you so much for your powerful comment. I appreciate your support and like mindedness. Big Hugs!!!
Katherine you have such a sweet heart my friend. I agree with you whole heartedly. Twitter is so mean so I’ve never really used the platform. When WP just linked our posts directly to twitter I used it only in that manner but never went there to see how my posts were doing etc. Now that WP dropped Twitter or X or whatever I could care less, but it is so scary and sad that there are so many tortured souls on there. Stay well. XO- MaryJo
It is scary and so very sad my friend. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Sending hugs your way!
I totally agree Katherine, the current times are so distressing, much prayer is needed for sure to change hearts that are filled with anger and hatred, it’s so sad. Dear Lord hear our prayers!
Amen my friend xo

Thank you so much for your support Hugs!
