The Truth Movement by a former 'Truther'

About 14 years ago I was caught up with the 'Truth' movement. A global idea that there are a ruling class of elites that govern the world for there wicked agenda. There was a new world order, a one world government, one world currency, HAARP, Chemtrails the list goes on. 911 was an inside job and we are all being secretly controlled by the Illuminati. I was so into all of this. On my facebook were hundreds of other truthers around the world and together it was our job to 'wake' the world up to these conspiracies. 

During this time I discovered the truth about Christ, and came to faith. This is the only good thing that came from this time. I started to question everything. The bible says to test everything hold fast to that which is good. So as I began questioning living off grid and chemtrails I met with annoyance from my truther family. Some started calling me names and coldly calling me out as a sheep. I still questioned everything until I met with sane people who told me I was right to question such insanity.

There is no illuminati, do your research. You will find the history of the illuminati not the present day illuminati. Chemtrails? really? again do your research. You will find no such spraying of chemicals taking place, at least not now. I'm not going to tell you , you will have to research and go and speak to people face to face like I did. Jesus isn't real he is made up for the ignorant masses? Again do your research. 

Everything I once believed and people I followed like Alex Jones, David Icke...they are all businessmen. They offer titbits of information but never any solutions. If they offered solutions they would be out of a job. I believe Icke to have split personality. He certainly isn't the son of god. I lost good friends as I turned to Christ and came away from the truth movement. friends that I still don't speak to because they are in the thick of it. I'm the one who has my eyes closed apparently. I write this as Im listening to a classic truther soundtrack.

It brings back memories some fond ones, of that time in my life. One thing I have taken away from that time is my ability to research and question. It led me to theology and to scholars who have walked the path way before me. My Facebook now has mature folk in the faith and I am surrounded by a loving church family. I still listen to conspiracies and views but I take a step back and see the whole picture now, look at both sides. Try to be as wise as a serpent but gentle as a dove.

Speaking of being gentle, I got my membership cards through from the National Trust together with a handbook and guide. 

Its all about living life gently, reconnecting with nature, taking walks, cold water swimming in unpolluted waters, playing football with your kids, glamping, homesteading sensibly and being there in person face to face with people and trying to leave the digital world behind. I now have a list of places to go to from the National Trust where I can experience all these things in peace.

I'm not sitting on Facebook waiting for my truther friends to update me with another Icke announcement, like he is some god. He is a false prophet and the bible warns about him and others like him. I just feel sad for those friends who deleted me especially when I came to Faith. To them they just saw organised religion whereas i saw a relationship with Christ. I do miss some of those people who besides their views about being 'awake' they were good people. Shame they have been lost into another system, and for some I don't see any way out except for faith in Christ.
