Prática de Shadowing: The Most Destructive Attack Against Abolition - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo

Hey, what's up everybody?

I'm out for a walk and it's been a while since I've made a video.

I mean, I guess it's not been that long.

I still got this beautiful eye that's going away.

But I wanted to make a short video just to talk through something

that needs to be talked about

and I want to talk about it in such a way where I'm allowed to be permissibly vague

because I don't want to say anything about anyone who does this in particular,

but I want to talk about what I believe is the number one form of attack on abolitionists.

The number one attack that is made against abolitionists

that does the most harm to the cause

when i mean the cause i don't mean just like the cause of abolitionist rising

or the success or this or that group

but i mean the overall cause like the thing that makes it hardest for abolitionists to pass bills

establishing justice and gain sort of cultural ground the number one attack

made against abolitionists is simply accusing us of being divisive

or of being harsh or of not working well with people the attacks from the world the attacks from

you know people who say that we are going to be bad for women

or bad for culture or the economy or

that you know like people who want to come up against us with various kinds of arguments

that you might think need answering the primary thing

that hurts the cause is whenever people say things like abolitionists don't work with people,

or abolitionists have beef, or abolitionists won't get along and stuff.

What that does, and usually it's totally unprovoked,

it's usually like somebody somewhere is just doing their thing, and someone says, hey, what do you think about abolitionists?

Have you ever worked with these abolitionists or whatever.

And they, without any provocation, just a question, say, oh, well, the reason I don't work with those abolitionists is because they are divisive.

They don't work with us.

They don't work with other groups.

In fact, all these other groups, we all work with each other just fine, but not those abolitionists.

Now, and you might be thinking, why is that the number one attack?

Well, I'll tell you, I have been watching for the past 15 years, just pretty much everything going on.

And we're talking about like to the level where you've got bills not passing,

where you've got legislators that have like been supportive and working hard all of a sudden lose their ground, lose their support, lose their strength.

when you start digging into what it is

that kind of broke them down made them less confident made

them less sure made them less unified made them less connected to abolitionists

that are helping them it was the constant whispering

and statement of doubt and accusation of bad character against abolitionists this is the primary thing

that pro -lifers did against us in the early days we

came on the scene calling for the total immediate abolition of

abortion saying basically we don't need to pass any new laws

we just need the laws against murder to be applied equally to everybody we were saying

that they were realizing that they were guilty of not doing

that and rather than saying hey you know what these abolitionists have a point they bristled up their pride

and they said well instead of saying i mean like those

guys got a point they said oh well those those people

are bad people don't listen to them don't talk to them

because they thought maybe if they would assassinate our characters it would protect them from criticism

and we've seen this kind of follow us throughout the whole

work um even to this day you see it leveled against

us i the reason i'm making this video is i saw

it today just out of nowhere like i'm not doing anything i'm not saying anything about anyone

and you know i just see a screenshot where somebody somewhere is asked a question about whether they

you know ever work with russell um you know

and uh the response isn't oh yeah you know like uh

i'm an abolitionist he's an abolitionist let's work together it's just

a sort of kind of push button repetition of yeah well

that guy he he he has conflict with us

and it didn't start with us

and he's just the kind of guy who has conflict with people

and uh and um you know in fact uh You know, we work really good with all sorts of other groups and ministries, but not with him.

And I'm just kind of like, okay, I didn't do anything.

I didn't say anything, like, to create that.

And this is just somebody asking a question.

But what happens there is somebody asks the question, do you work with this guy?

And rather than just saying, well, you know, especially if you agree with me, rather than saying like hey well yeah you know in various

ways we do you know we support the same bills we do the same work

and you know we've done some things with them in the past

and we should work to do some things in the in the present

and in the future and rather than saying something like that

or if you couldn't say that because you didn't think

that you could just say nothing just not answer the question

or at maybe the most best still negative

but the best less divisive less destructive thing you could say is something along the lines of

yeah you know um there may be some issues there

but we'll work on we'll work on it christ prayed

that we'd be unified so we should be unified thanks for the comment or something like that I don't know, acknowledge that things aren't perfect,

but that we would like them to be here, something like that.

That's certainly how I answer those questions when people ask me

if I work with people that maybe I don't work with well, or there's been some kind of issues.

At minimum, if it's a stranger and the stranger just says, hey, do you work with this person?

If there's any kind of issue there, usually I won't answer it.

Or if I do answer it, I'll say, yeah, man, I would love to and, you know, whatever.

What I don't do is create conflict or create doubt,

division, confusion, or a poor reputation for whoever it is that I'm being asked about.

Because whenever somebody just asks the question simply, you know, do you work with that person? like the way

that i saw this today what happened there is they took

the opportunity to tell this stranger a stranger asking a question

in the comment section they took the opportunity to tell this

person who is probably thinking well of both the person he was asking

and of me wanting us to work together they took it as an opportunity to tell this person that i create conflict,

that I don't work with them.

And by the way, all these other people, they all work well together, but not this Russell guy.

That is them in a very creative, covert, maybe not even intentional way.

I don't know their motives at all, but that is them telling somebody that they need to adjust their filter.

If they were thinking well of me

and thinking well of like abolitionist rising they now need to think differently about

that they now need to think oh that group I like

100

that group I see their fruit I see their work I

101

hear their heart I hear their words I see what they're

102

doing I think well of them now I think well this

103

person has told me not to think well of them in fact this person has told me

104

that not only should I not think well of them

105

but all these other people don't think well of them I

106

don't want to be on this I don't I you know and so it creates this filter.

107

And then once that filter is put on people's eyes, they're going to then filter everything they see through that.

108

And so now, moving forward, after having this sort of reputational filter put on them,

109

they're going to look at everything that I do and kind of be thinking, hmm, I wonder what he's really like.

110

I wonder if he's really not wanting to work with people and all this kind of stuff.

111

And the whole thing's just a lie.

112

The whole thing is literally slander.

113

Like there isn't a single abolitionist on this planet who agrees with abolishing abortion to the glory of God,

114

seeking to establish equal justice under the law for pre -born fatherless children who are,

115

you know, legally aborted that I don't want to work with.

116

I want to have full unity.

117

with every abolitionist with every christian okay um now that doesn't mean

118

that i don't believe certain things or think that there are good things

119

and bad things biblical ways and unbiblical ways and things

120

that you know that i would point out with the people that i'm truly

121

unified with like if somebody i'm actually unified with

122

and they're a brother they're a sister we're working in the battle

123

and they're doing something that i think is you know maybe erring this way

124

or that way

125

and I want to say something about it that's not me like to be unified with them I would point

126

that out and that has been the genesis of a lot of this you know conflict

127

when somebody somewhere is maybe they're in a debate they're in a discussion they're planning a project

128

and they're putting forward some kind of idea that's unbiblical either myself

129

or some other abolitionist may point that out may say hey actually the way

130

that you're answering this question is is inconsistent with the word of God

131

or it's inconsistent with the the principles

132

that we're you know all putting into play or whatever

133

and may point that out and so a person who's in unity

134

when they're given correction in humility they look at the correction they look at the critique

135

and they say okay come let us reason together

136

this is a biblical critique i see the error in what i'm saying

137

and even though it's kind of difficult you kind of just

138

say okay i see i see how i need to change the way i answer

139

that question or change the way i put together that project or whatever it was and in humility

140

remain unified and thank the brother who brought the correction like

141

that is one way to do

142

that the other way is to bristle up in your pride act like you've been attacked

143

and instead of admitting

144

that you're wrong saying you know what the people who are

145

correcting me are mean bad people i can protect myself from

146

their correction by telling everybody on the internet how bad they are

147

so that maybe they won't listen to them whenever they bring other corrections.

148

So I don't know if it's like a person that's wanting to continue to walk in error.

149

I think most of the time it's not.

150

I think most of the time it's just somebody who missteps, has like a wrong thought, wrong action, and instead of correcting themselves,

151

just can't do that or something.

152

And then they decide

153

that they're going to protect themselves from criticism by creating a

154

bad reputation in the minds of all of the people that might listen to the critics.

155

This is certainly what pro -lifers have done.

156

Pro -lifers have sought for over a decade

157

and a half to protect their ideology and their strategies and their practices by telling everyone who will listen,

158

don't listen to those abolitionists they're bad people

159

and it has done a lot of harm to the cause

160

it has set us back we're talking about millions upon millions of babies lives have been lost

161

because of the delay that this kind of sinful behavior um causes and so it's continuing today i see it frequently

162

me and my you know you know brothers

163

that you know the guys abolitionist rising we are trying real

164

hard to figure out how to navigate this constant accusation um

165

you know there's almost at various periods like whenever people are planning projects

166

or you know gearing up to to do things and

167

and wanting the support of other people and all

168

that kind of stuff it seems to sort of bubble up this spirit this attitude

169

and during those times all of a sudden it's like not

170

a day goes by where you can't get on facebook or twitter

171

and see some comment from somebody out there saying you know

172

hey um by the way can i tell you about these bad abolitionists

173

and how um not only do they not work well with people they you know me

174

and all my friends we work well with each other And we're like, we're real.

175

We're all good.

176

But these these abolitionists are bad.

177

They do that all the time.

178

And you don't really know how to respond to it.

179

We've tried different things in different ways at different times, like over over the past, you know, five years or so.

180

It's like kind of like, well, do you respond to it there and then and try to like engage the person and say, no, what you're saying isn't true for the following reasons.

181

When you do that, people see it as infighting

182

and they accuse you of infighting

183

because they've embrace the filter like someone has given him the filter

184

that you are an infighter that you are all about conflict

185

and so because they've gotten

186

that filter from the person who creates division this is creating division

187

and the reason i think this is so bad is also

188

because god hates it um god hates like god lists this

189

sort of uh discordant causing behavior in the list of things

190

he hates right there along with murder child sacrifice shedding innocent blood right

191

because of its disastrous effect but not a day goes by where you don't see a comment from someone

192

who i you know i don't know what their motives are

193

but if their true heart of heart motive is to abolish abortion they need to know

194

that what they're doing in laying down this bad reputation against abolitionists is they are pushing back success in the cause.

195

Ultimately, God knows when that's going to happen and we don't have to really freak out about it, but we all want to see the abolition of abortion.

196

And when it comes time to like stand up and you unify a ton of people together, you've got a bill, you've got a legislator, you've got people in unity and

197

you know filters are being created

198

and you've got people saying those abolitionists are bad those abolitionists are bad

199

and then you have other supporters of abolition

200

and abolitionists saying well these particular abolitionists are bad

201

and then you've got legislators who are like well listen I was going to work with them

202

but now I've got the world and I've got these guys

203

and I got all this stuff like now I need to distance

204

and then they distance themselves from us

205

and it weakens them it weakens us it weakens the cause

206

and then instead of standing in strength and unity and power

207

and abolishing abortion you know what happens tails go between legs people like look at everything through

208

that filter and they decide well i don't really want to be like working with people

209

that are you know full of conflict and division and i'll divide from them or i'll lessen my strength with them.

210

I'll lessen my unity with them.

211

And so ironically, the people who are creating the most discord

212

and disunity are the people who are accusing us of being divisive.

213

It's very clever.

214

It's very hard to deal with.

215

And oftentimes, if you deal with it, it's considered infighting

216

so i don't know what to do how to deal with

217

this i for the past you know few years i've primarily

218

tried to just sort of focus on the work put my

219

head down do what i can to go around these gatekeepers knowing

220

that a lot of people everywhere will be setting a filter by

221

which people are supposed to examine you know me

222

and whenever they go and they look

223

and they watch hours upon hours of footage online they're like

224

man this guy doesn't strike me as the divisive evil person

225

that they told me he was

226

and um you know that's what I've decided to do just kind of focus on the work

227

but when I see just so much

228

so much harm being done by this kind of constant assault

229

and accusation I do want to say something about it

230

so the reason I made this video is just just to tell you that this is,

231

in my humble opinion, the thing that Satan, the world, the evil ones,

232

like this is the number one thing that is being used to set back the abolitionist cause.

233

And unfortunately, it is not just the world or the pro -life movement that is engaged in carrying it out.

234

So I just want to tell you about it so that you can be aware when it's happening.

235

And hopefully whenever you hear people say, oh, like if they say it about me, like, oh, that Russell, he's,

236

he creates conflict and he doesn't work with people.

237

And me and me and all these groups, we all work really well together, but we don't work well with him.

238

Please just at least consider this filter by which you can look at that.

239

Perhaps that is something they're saying

240

and it's not true and that you need to at least be aware

241

that they're creating a filter by which you are going to look at me

242

and the work that I'm doing and the work that others

243

that I work with are doing

244

and it is going to make you less connected less unified

245

and guilty if you repeat it or

246

if you follow it guilty of the very thing

247

that we're being accused of

248

so it's very clever it's very it's very uh it's the way it's the way sin works

249

and it's usually you know we can't talk about motives but it's usually like sin begetting sin begetting sin.

250

There's whatever's at back of it, whether it's jealousy, rivalry, all the things that the word of God tells us to be on the lookout for.

251

You have to take that serious.

252

When the Bible talks about rivalrous strife, jealousy, that sort of thing, lack of humility, and the sin that begets more sin,

253

and the way that this leads to discord among brothers, you gotta realize that's talking about something that really does happen.

254

And so that's all for your consideration.

255

Thank you for watching my short video.

256

Next time I come to you, maybe that thing will be gone.

257

All right.

258

See you later.

259

Love you.
