Come to America man, we need more people who think for themselves right now.
“Branch Covidian cult”…to get the reference do a reaction to a video about the “Branch Davidian cult”.

Souls are individually wrapped, never forget that.
Nice video. I love your content. God Bless
Thankfully here in America they’ve chilled out for the most part. But I’m afraid America is going to go down hill in the next couple of years due to other reasons.
I would love to visit Japan next year but because of everything is going on there I won’t be. It’s sad to see a great country still thinking this way.
Also I don’t get why they make their kids wear masks. It like worse then them wearing them.
The mask and the vaccine don't prevent getting Covid. Its supposed to make sure you don't die or become severely sick from it.
Before vaccines, don't forget the reality that people were dying. Don't forget New York City ran out of cold storage containers to put the dead in. This was reality. In Peru, the dead were out on the streets rotting. That was reality.
Its just been overcome because everybody is either vaccinated or already exposed. As it happens with pandemics.
Also, it seems teenagers in Japan actually love wearing masks. Which I find alarming.
Come visit Texas, we stopped caring about covid by August 2020. I was doing in person university classes by then. We pushed our way through it. By March 2021, we actually banned mask mandates. life is pretty much back to normal here.

This was my university in October 2021, when the delta wave was at its peak, and you'll see no one wearing masks. We moved on so quickly, and I was at this game last year. It was a push for all of us to move on, but so happy we did, so we were able to have experiences like this again.
Never forget, as bad as japan handled covid, it could have been worse. It could be MANDATED masking, MANDATED weekly testing and quarantine, and constant data lies like China does to its people
From what I understand, most Japanese people hardly question authority and are more go with the flow kind of people. Do what you’re told or else you’ll stand out kind of mentality, and no one in Japan wants to stand out.
Come visit Texas one day man, there’s plenty to do all around this big state and lots of people who would agree with you religiously and with social-political opinions.
Throughout the entire pandemic my church did not shut down we had church outside in the parking lot. Churches being forced to mask up makes no sense how are you gonna put your hand on someone and pray healing in Jesus name or declare restoration in the life or bodies when on the outside being gloved up masked up clearly shows you to be a hypocrite. I believe in the power of prayer and healing in Jesus name. My testimony alone speaks on the power of the lord. How he heals restores and gives back what the enemy tried to steal. I am alive today because of God.
I’d love for you to come to California. Visit the church I go to we are small but the fire of the lord is there. The story how I found them or more like how God placed them in front of me is pretty cool
僕の教会は誰もマスクつけてないっすよ笑
メディアに信頼するより神の言葉に信頼する方が大事ってみんな知ってるからー
他のクリたちにも気づいて欲しいなー
No maask Tim? You are such a rebel! I was never a fan of wearing a mask but when it was mandated here I did comply. I am such an obedient drone. But, when the company I work for said it was okay t not wear a mask, long after the atste okayed it, believe me, it was gone. now as for Japan, I am not surprised the government has not relaxed the mask rule. It is my ubderstanding that the government almost always bows to the desires of the people most likely to vote. And who is the sector of the population most likely to vote in Japan? The elderly. Who is the most vulnerable sector in Japan to get sick (from anything)? The elderly. So it follows that the elderly want people to wear masks so they don't get sick. The elderly are not in favor of opening the country to tourists who may or may not bring disease with them, the elderly. I don't mean to blame the o0lder citizens for any of this but it is really the politicians who in an attempt to win favor with the voers, atr not willing to basically see reason and logic. And as for why people don't speak out or just refuse to wear masks? Again, I don't mean to criticize Japamese culture but let's face it, going against the 'norm' just isn't done in Japan. I persona;;y have a difficult time with this behavior. I support the respect for people and for culture and tradition but I also feel thatliving totally in the past with no regard for change or the future is not a good thing. Generally I feel change just for the sake of change is not a good thing. Change, because it makes sense or is just plain necessary, is a good thing. It's not always easy to balance these things out but with careful consideration, Japan may need to adopt some changes and if nothing else, at least make it okay to express at least some individualism. So basically Tim, I agree with you. At first I think it was wise to be aggressive when this all started. But as science and reality played out, loosening the the restricitons just seems logical. There are now vaccines available, the is education and understanding available. So why not return to something we all like to refer to as "normal".
The church is a house of healing
I lost family and friends to covid pls dont spread this kind of messaging.
I’m in Orlando Florida. 🇺🇸 It’s mask optional except at medical offices and some meetings. I only know about local places. I am not young and healthy. I have avoided close contact with people for the sake of my health. Very recently there have been 2 research results which are chilling to me. One is that there have been 10% excess deaths, (after you account for CovId related illness). Men, women, children. Except in some places which didn’t have jabs, like Bulgaria and many African countries.
This next one scares me: hospital records were examined for almost a third of Americans. People over 60 who had CI9 in 2021 have 69% more diagnoses of Alzheimers in 2022, compared to people who didn’t have the CI9. (i’m not sure of the age but i can point you to this info). I’m 61. I’ve been at home indoors for the 3 years. I don’t wear a mask to walk around outside, anymore. It’s not all about that illness, I’m just comfortable at home. People I know, though who are older than me have caught it once. I’m very worried about their brains now (Alzheimers risk). These results were for delta not omicron, but I still feel safer not taking chances.
I get what you’re saying about Japan not questioning the mandates, and no one relaxing to take off masks outdoors or when exercising. It sounds crazy. For sick 60+ year olds, masks and distance probably help, imo.
I have some friends who spent some time in the US before returning to Japan. Unfortunately, someone in the post flight screening tested positive, so EVERYONE went into 2 weeks of quarantine. After they complete the quarantine and get back to normal life in Japan, less then a month later one of their children caught it and the whole family went into in home quarantine once again.
Another problem with the masks is that people often overestimate their effectiveness. Some will take risks they normally wouldn't because they are wearing a mask. I'm feeling a little sick. Not a problem, I'll wear a mask and go about things normally. I encountered (and still do from time to time) people who took one of two perspectives, either masks save lives or masks are useless, and we had both types in our church. To be honest, I think the answer is somewhere in between, that masks are effective under certain conditions but the further away from those conditions you are, the less effective the masks will be. (same with other measures too)
If you can, talk with your pastor about the measures that your church is taking. It is a good idea to reassess and update those measures, especially the ones discouraging fellowship, instead of just accepting the new normal.
I thought a lot of japanese ppl have been wearing mask even before the pandemic.
Wearing a mask alone or where you do not need it. IS More harmful for you to Breath is your own carbohydrates that it is to protect your self from your fear. Now as someone who knows Jesus , Wearing a mask as a Christian is a Faithless act as wearing it shows your lack in his word and what he has taught us. if you get covid or get sick its because the way you are living in your life and God aloud it to happen ,Masks are Irrelevant if your a Christian . We should only wear them to satisfy our Authorities, and Pray for them . Not Protest . There time is close to an end
Good for you speaking out, people just follow to many rules without questioning them in a sensible way.and it's great to hear you're a Christian well done my brother I'll be praying for you and all my brother's and sisters in Japan praise the lord
