Night Wind has a post up, “NH POLITICIAN EXPOSED AS RED PILL RINGLEADER”
I appreciate the post because I often struggle to explain why I find these guys to be so dangerous. Night Wind sums it up well here, “This is one of the things that makes the Red Pill Cult exceptionally dangerous. Fisher is a classic case of an infiltrator—a fanatic who poses as a mainstream Conservative or Christian, then undermines both movements from within.”
They are often vulgar, glorify in violence, express a great deal of hatred towards women, and it is all entwined in politics, but what really bothers me is that they are totally misrepresenting Jesus Christ and faith. Infiltrators is good word for it. AKA, wolves in sheeps clothing. So, the lost, the broken, the misguided, flock to these guys, and get led astray, deceived into believing all sorts of things they should not be believing. Rather then being lead to redemption, salvation, and healing, they are being radicalized.
I recently read an article from The Gospel Coalition, Beware of Broken Wolves. Really ticked me off actually. No mention of the Red Pills, no mention of radicalizing young men, no mention of the violence going on in our streets right now, Oh no, broken wolves are mostly women. As the article says, “Many of us men—including elders called to protect their flock—remain silent hoping that one of our sisters in Christ will speak up before the popular and prominent female Broken Wolves in our midst devours another one of our own.
So what’s the greatest threat, the biggest sin, the scariest thing our churches face? The carnivorous nature of broken women who plan to devour “another one of our own.”
Wow. Lesson to self, avoid reading anything from The Gospel Coalition, least one start growling like a she-wolf and foaming at the mouth. So, call me crazy, but I really think the greatest threat we face as a nation, as a culture, as a church is actually epidemic opiate addictions, rampant suicide rates, and the radicalization of young men, domestic terrorism really. Young men like Dylann Roof who actually walked in and shot up a church. Or Elliot Rodger.
Many of the red pills are actually very hostile towards the church and towards Christians in general. You take someone who is broken, entwine sexual frustration with ideology, and you will eventually wind up with young men willing to shoot the place up for a chance to feel powerful. It happens everyday on the streets of Chicago.
I’m a bit angry today because so, so many of our Christian leaders are not leading at all. They’re cowering in fear over the thought of broken women and lamenting the horror of yoga pants. Call me crazy, but I’m thinking that is not what the bible meant at all by “wolves in sheep’s clothing.” Surely Occam’s Razor should apply here, like the guy actually wearing the wolf avatar, posing as a Christian, and directing broken young men towards hatred and violence in Jesus Christ’s name, should give us some cause for concern?
See, there's this thing called biology... 
“…I really think the greatest threat we face as a nation, as a culture, as a church…”
One of the greatest threats the church faces, is her self confusion and conflation with the nation and the culture. Adam’s world is not Christ’s bride. The former is dead in sin and the latter is alive in Him. Our job is not to fix the former. It is to be instruments of rescue from it and into the latter.

The red pill cultists claiming Christ IS an abomination and a thing that should be loudly denounced by Christians in no uncertain terms. I agree.

I really appreciate the information and your dedication to being a discerning ‘watch-dog’ over these internal ‘wolves’. I suppose I should invest some time in further research on the matter because, if not for you, I would have ZERO knowledge that such ‘infiltrators’ existed. I do believe the Lord has given us wisdom to choose our battles, so more prayerful consideration of this is warranted.
Ironically, as I read your post, I was also enjoying a portrait that hangs on my office wall directly beside my computer’s wall-mounted monitor. It depicts a standing shepherd grasping his staff, a single lamb at his feet. He is looking at two wolves atop a pile of rocks, about 20 feet away, drooling over the lamb. A caption ‘written in the sand’ at the base of the shepherd’s staff is from Psa.91:1-3. It reads:
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.’
Surely He shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence”.

Memi! I did not read the beware of broken wolves post, with as much gender specificity as you did.
The bottom line of the post, for me was that “broken wolves offer a broken gospel”.
That is as true of your “red pill friends” as it is of “A cry for Justice.”.
After that, as I had mentioned, we have to be faithful in the small things, before we can be faithful in greater things !😏🕊🔥🔨

Yes, so I’ve heard. Unfortunately that seems to mean, “we might deal with the radicalized young men and domestic terrorism but only AFTER we manage to convince women to stop defiantly wearing yoga pants.” Such nonsense only serves to give validity to those who cry for justice.

Memi, we both, in our own small ways, may be dealing with both of those issues, (male blind guides and female blind guides) and other dark issues, all at the same time!
Being “crapped” on from “both sides”, as you, and even Doug Wilson, often are, is one possible indication that you are ministering “straight down the middle”! ; – )
If one takes on multiple falsehoods with God’s truth, we should not be surprized that there is push back from all of them.
Let’s just say that the “red pill” type groups are a male pity party,
and the “A Cry for Justice” type groups are a female pity party.
“Godly sorrow leads to repentance”, not to a never ending pity party, for boys or girls!

As you often do, you yet again choose to make up your own interpretation of another’s words.
“So, call me crazy, but I really think the greatest threat we face as a nation, as a culture, as a church is actually epidemic opiate addictions, rampant suicide rates, and the radicalization of young men, domestic terrorism really.”
First, since you object to others calling you crazy, I’d strongly recommend you avoid suggesting that others call you crazy (as you did twice in your post).
Secondly, if you stop to consider how Satan has historically worked, you might recognize the inanity of your proposal that the threats you mention are greater than the “broken wolves”. Satan always prefers to work in ways that appear attractive and are popular. For example, the “prosperity gospel” preachers, and “social justice” and “family values” advocates that were mentioned well before any reference was made to women who are “broken wolves”.
Rather than complaining that the “Christian leaders” don’t see the problems that you do, why don’t you just stick to talking about the problems as you see them?
By the way, I do not see that you commented on the TGC site. Why did you not choose to express your opinion there, but instead only do it here?
I find it ironic that some of the most vocal complainers on the TGC post are Barbara Roberts and others connected to A Cry For Justice. Perhaps that would cause you to reconsider your position. But I doubt it because, so far, I do not think I have ever seen you willing to change a previously stated position.

Thank you for the link. Yes, it’s a real problem that Christian and Conservatives aren’t speaking out on these issues. This morning, I did a Google Search on this story and our site was the ONLY Conservative one in 4 pages talking about it! The rest were all Liberal/Feminist sites or local NH news covering the story.
I’m afraid that the situation will only get worse the longer that Christians and Conservatives ignore it. They’re essentially letting the Political and Secular Left define us by what the Red Pills say and do.

Read a response to your post on another site, where the respondent (who is one of the more angry ranters I’ve read online) extolled the virtues of the “healing power of angry ranting”. I think if this were true, he’d be a much happier guy.
At any rate…here are a couple of actual research studies that refute his claim:

”The idea that venting helps people deal with their anger is not a new one. Catharsis has long been thought of as a treatment for problematic anger.3,4 In fact, most rant-sites promote the idea of venting as a healthy approach to anger reduction. However, as noted by Olatunji et al. in an exten- sive review of the literature, catharsis has little benefit.4 In fact, most research suggests that the cathartic expression of anger does harm over the long term.3,4

Anti-feminist backlash that is seriously dangerous to all women.

Well, I’ll answer that. The world is full of misery and brokenness,the red pills are attempting to create this blasphemous false faith, and what do many Christian men perceive as the greatest threat to the world?

People who believe female rebellion is the root of all evil, in the face of all the other evils out there, are totally lacking perspective.
Not only that,out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Anybody who cannot see the vulgarity and vileness of the red pills as a major clue that something is all wrong with their faith, is totally deceived.

I think we would have feminism. Speaking as a child of the 60s, I remember when the Lib movement started and it wasn’t because men were not being men. It was because liberalism in general was flexing its muscles all over the place to question anything sacred. I think the question was inordinate because it ignored a commandment of God, which is part of their overall problem. They pick and choose scripture to suit their pseudo-Christianity. My problem with them is that they are using Christianity, as IB indicate, to further their hate of women in general.
