“Family” is needed as a 10th.Testimony Most Quaker testimonies can be paired with each other. Truth with Integrity, Equality with Justice, Non-violence with Mediation and Earth Stewardship with Simplicity. Each one of each pair cannot exist without the other. Truth cannot exist without Integrity nor Integrity without Truth, and so on. But the testimony of “Community” stands alone. It is self-evident that its pair is “Family” and that neither can exist without the other also. The Quaker founding fathers would never have thought that Families could be so compromised as to need a supporting testimony, but they have been. Searching “Quaker Faith and Practise” for the word “Family” I find that it is used only thirteen times. In the stillness of the night and in your quietest moments I ask that you place “Families” in the Light. It is where love is first found. Without love the testimonies are lost, not written in stone, but whispered on the wind. I invite you to share the “concern” that “Family” is of sufficient importance to be made a Testimony and that it is essential for “Community” to properly function. Accepting “Family” as the 10th.Testimony The Quaker testimonies of Equality and Justice have failed in the family. Fathers and children are at a disadvantage with many having been lost to each other. 45% of UK school age children do not now live under the same roof as their father. Quakers and their testimonies constitute a feminist/woke institution that does not accept this as being a problem, never addressing it. It is more likely to do so if “Family” is accepted as a Testimony on the understanding that children’s natural maturation process has 3 essential stages of need. A. The unconditional love of the mother from birth until about 7 years of age. The mother must have “thefinalsay” B. The conditional love of the father, who takes his children out into the world, gives security and teaching social boundaries from 7 until about 13 years of age. The father must have “thefinalsay”. C.The friendship and respect of their peers from 13 until 18 years of age. The child must have “thefinalsay”. If these 3 stages are not sequence in order, maturation is unlikely to be achieved and mental resilience reduced. This has now become generational. Such a regime of equal and just parenting rights (over time) would bind parents into a co-operative relationship, because (over time) each will hold the power of “thefinalsay” sequentially when it is needed and best favoured to use it. Such family protocols need to be the default position, (allowing love, courtesy and humour to prevail) but could in exceptional cases be varied by the courts. Buckminster Fuller said:- “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete”. To alleviate suffering is worthy. To prevent it is divine, but thankless.

I have to thank your community for sharing your worship. It has given me such joy. I have watched and thought deeply about your many posts. I appreciate this channel and hope you will continue to share once again. Thank you and blessings to you all from Canada 🇨🇦

You don’t change God’s word for God. Even to make it “gender neutral”. There are two sexes and God made them for a reason

"permissive in terms of belief" ?? Just yesterday I listen to a Quaker Speak video that says Quakers don't have a set of beliefs. I thought it was, There is that of God in everyone. You mean there are other Quaker meetings that I don't know of that prescribe a set of beliefs that all members must adhere to? I am shocked, Ben.

How to take over a government. 1. commit election fraud 2. control the media narrative 3. censor everyone that talks about the fraud 4. place insurgents in Trump protest and have them commit unrest before the congress can hear election objections 5. immediately blame Trump for unrest, label all of his supporters as terrorists and silence Trump by taking away his ability to address the public 6. continue pushing anti-Trump message onto the already brainwashed country

Great video

Thank you so much for this, Margaret. What you say really resonates with me. I am a Quaker in Britain and enjoy following New Garden Friends when I can.

BEAUTIFUL!
