  • Hi friends! Today we are talking Target. I wanted to share where I stand on it and why. I had a ton of food prep to do so I thought it would be a good time to bring you along while I get some things done and say the quiet parts out loud.
    PS I think I said 2 Peter, it's acctualy 1 Peter.
    Please take a minute to share with me your stance!

    Target has hired a satanist to design some of their clothing. Direct quote from Target: "I know how Satan loves you and respects who you are; your important and valuable in this world and you deserve to treat yourself with love and respect. LGTBQ + people are so often referred to as being a product of Satan or going against God's will so fine. We'll hang with Satan instead." I could post more from the article, but I think that alone is enough. We as Christians, need to stand up to being woke and putting the things of the devil right into our faces and our children faces. I'm not a parent, but I can only imagine in today's world how difficult it is to try to protect your children from the things of darkness. They are also promoting and selling this clothing line targeted, no pun intended toward children and teens. It's time to ban shopping at Target, this isn't okay.

      Thank you Michelle! I know many feel I have been a hatedful bigot who is insighting violence for my stance claiming that the designer was not selling his more satanic themed items IN TARGET. That he was just expressing his artistic license.
      To that I say, it does NOT matter If he sold them on a boat, with a goat, in the rain, in the dark, in a tree, in a car, in a box, with a fiox, in a house, with a mouse, here ot there, or anywhere. I do not care where he sold those items. I will not give my money to a store that hired him. I draw the line.
      I also held in my hands and saw with my eyes childrens items designed by others. That's not okay with me. Target has partnered with GLSEN for many years. I have a problem with the policies of GLSEN. I qoute, "shall not disclose any information that may reveal a students gender identity to others including parents or guardians.
      For those who say, parents control the wallet they don't have to buy the items if they disagree. To them I say you are correct, we the parents control what and where we shop. When we see a company partner with a group who disincludes parents from their childrens lives, then partners with a designer who at the very least mocks my God (MY OPINION), and then includes children in their pride collection we indeed have the right and in my opinion responsibilty to vote with our feet and our dollar.

      @@AuntieCooCoo I can't say an AMEN loud enough on your response! The first thing that people need to understand is, this is based on a lie to begin with. If you call yourself a Satanist, then you must also believe in God. Satan always makes a counterfeit of what God has already created. For example, the rainbow.. THE PROMISE OF GOD, what does the devil do but make a counterfeit and make it mean something else that it was never intended to mean. Satan defiled what God had already created, a PROMISE HE GAVE TO US ALL. If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything. When you spoke about an expiration date of your own, Satan also knows he has an expiration date and it's coming fast. Why would he be so eager to attach himself to those that are innocent? Those that don't understand or comprehend, the children. It's the responsibility of the parent to protect their children. God gave you those children as a gift and if you do not protect them, then you will stand before a Holy God one day and need to justify to Him why you didn't. We all have an expiration date. Each of us are dying everyday. This life here on earth is but a vapor compared to eternity. It's a choice, a decision. Will you choose eternity in heaven or an eternal fire of hell for all eternity? God says His thoughts towards you outnumber the grains of sand. To even comprehend that is mind blowing. That God truly thinks about you, He cares about you and He truly loves you. God gave His one and only Son, so that we may have atonement for our sins and eternal life. Would you be so willing to give up one of your children for this world? This my friend is how much HE LOVES YOU!

      Professor: You are a Christian aren't you, son? Student: Yes, sir. Professor: So, you believe in GOD? Student: Absolutely, sir Professor: Is God good? Student: Sure Professor: Is God ALL Powerful? Student: Yes Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed for God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? (Student was silent) Professor: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again young fella. Is God good? Student: Yes Professor: Is Satan good? Student: No Professor: Where does Satan come from? Student: From... GOD.. Professor: That's right. Tell me son is there evil in this world? Student: Yes Professor: Evil is everywhere isn't it? And GOD did make everything. Correct? Student: Yes Professor: So who created evil? (Student did not answer) Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in this world, don't they? Student: Yes, sir Professor: So who created them? (Student had no answer) Professor: Science says you have five senses you use to identify the world around you. Tell me son, have you ever seen God? Student: No, sir Professor: Tell us have you ever heard Your GOD? Student: No, sir Professor: Have you ever felt Your God, tasted Your God, smelt Your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter? Student: No, sir I'm afraid I haven't Professor: Yet, you still believe in Him Student: Yes. Professor: According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says Your GOD doesn't exist.What do you say to that son? Student: Nothing. I only have my Faith. Professor: Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has. Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat? Professor: Yes. Student: And is there such a thing as cold? Professor: Yes. Student: No sir. There isn't. Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, super heat, mega heat, white heat, A little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat but we can't go any further than that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. Student: What about darkness Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness? Professor: Yes, what is night if there isn't darkness? Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you? Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man? Student: Sir, my point is your philosophic premise is flawed. Professor: Flawed? Can you explain how? Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue that there is life and death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of God as finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey? Professor: If you're speaking of the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course I do. Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir? Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist, but a preacher? Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain? Is there anyone who has heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the rules of the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir. Professor: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son. Student: That is it sir, ...Exactly! The link between man and GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving. P.S. That Student was EINSTEIN.

    I think some people are missing her point here. She isnt passing judgment...in my opinion. I think she feels convicted as a Christian not to associate with Target because of her beliefs. And she has every right to do so. I admire her for standing up for her beliefs. Whether we feel the same or not. Shes being honest and i respect her for that. Her issue was not with LGBT and a pride section its with a satanic influencer selling their product in Target to children. Listen to what she is saying!!

    This is the last straw for me. I will not be shopping there at all.
    Thank you for coming right out and standing up for what’s right!!

      In an honest conversation I would tell people the truth, the problem is it's not what everyone wants to hear! 🤔💭 Everyone wants to think everyone is the same in life, we all need love and family in our lives and that might be true for most of us, but certainly not all of us!
      Having close friends in law enforcement, I have heard many stories about the prison system and what actually goes on! Many of these people who want to love who they want to, are doing evil sexual things to children, there called children molesters! These people have no, sexual boundaries, and think it's normal to carry out there sexual perverse behaviors out on children!
      Children are always involved, in this lifestyle! They don't see boundaries! And when the guy couples fight fits fly and real damage is done!

    Totally agree with you. I was never more than a random Target shopper….mostly the dollar spot. However I loved to look at all they had and gather inspiration. I have 5 grandchildren…2 13yr olds, 2 11yr olds and an 8 yr old…I know that I can’t shelter them from everything but Target was one of the places they liked to go on their birthday shopping trips with me. The 13yr olds are 9 days apart, the 11 year olds are 2 months apart and I take the pairs together for a day of whatever they want to do and then shopping. The baby and I go together❤️. I just don’t think I can ever take them to Target again.

Many years ago my sister lived in West Hollywood and she would tell us don’t go certain places when you come to visit because when they had the pride parade it was over the top and I had little kids.I like the dollar tree better and I shop for clothes at TJ Maxx

    Wow…I’m gay and I’m a Christian. I’ve been watching your videos for a little while now, and have been doing a rewatch recently. I never saw this one when it initially came out. After watching it, I’m actually kind of gobsmacked.
    The attitude of many supposed “Christians” in these comments is a huge slap in the face. Those in the LGBTQ+ community have families, and thank God mine don’t treat me the way some of these people seemingly would. Especially those of you with children, who may even be part of the LGBTQ+ community (they just may not have found the courage to tell you yet). Attitudes like this will often make them too afraid to be themselves. Yes, I’m gay, but God created me, just like He created them.
    “That section” was pushed to the front of the stores in May simply because it’s pride month. Just like they have feature sections for Christmas, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween and Valentine’s Day. It’s not disrespecting you, it’s honouring those of us in the community who ARE proud of who we are, who shop there, who have families (and kids). And you know what? Kids ARE confused! Knowing that they are supported is the #1 thing they want.
    And while I appreciate the tone in which you delivered your message, the tone doesn’t match the message. I’m so disappointed, Val. And I’m really disappointed by many of those in this comment section. I will continue supporting stores who will support me, and my family, and everyone else in the LGBTQ+ community.
    I blame these sorts of attitudes on the scare-mongering tactics of a certain political party, who seems determined to drive a wedge through America. They use words like “woke” and “agenda”. There is no agenda! Why can’t everyone just get along? Why does everyone feel the need to judge others? Just let everyone live their lives, whether they’re black, white, straight, gay, man, woman, Christian, Jew, or something else.
    God help me, I’m in tears now. 😢

    You so eloquently put into words what I have been feeling for quite some time about Target. It’s a feeling of uneasiness and almost dread at shopping there now. What am I going to see today that makes me feel sad for the future of our world? I, too, have been wondering about Chip and Joanna Gaines and their thoughts about this, but their products don’t push an agenda because if they did, they would be removed from Target for sure! I have shopped at Target less and less in the last few years, and my last shopping trip had all the transgender merchandise front and center, which is Target’s right to display, just as much as it’s my right to boycott. I stand for my beliefs which are never represented in most stores. I always feel marginalized and cancelled by our culture, so I’ll just say goodbye and move on to shopping elsewhere.
