@parscale @Timcast They've hung themselves. American people smell the rat in the word Democrat. They will be DEPOSED.

OTOH, an affirmative-positive model to drive the movement of the movement will involve "The 5 C's of Life Transformation" compliments of the Oxford Group of the 1930's from which

@parscale @Timcast Sprang the AA (alcoholics anonymous) movement via the application of the 5 C's via Bill W.'s old drinking buddy Ebby T in a white light epiphany when Bill stood at a window later on, pondering the transformation he'd witnessed in his friend.

They are as follows: 👇

@parscale @Timcast Confidence
Confession
Conviction
Conversion
Continuance

👇

@parscale @Timcast 1 Confidence - winning theirs via a point of common, shared interest that's deeply impactful. Jesus used "water" when deploying it with the woman at the well. A friend of Bill W.'s, James Houck, told me by phone (I was researching this) that they liked to use this model as an ie:

@parscale @Timcast 2 Confession - not theirs, to us, but the other way around. It need simply be something shared that's "costly" framed in the context of what it was like, what happened, & what it's like now ie: highly relatable & born out of some form of suffering necessary, or otherwise.

@parscale @Timcast 3) Conviction - theirs, that they can RELATE & have also born the burden of a certain suffering, heartache, etc., now fully distinguished, accompanying a powerful urge to "unburden" in the form of their own reciprocal confession in turn relative to a listening ear who understands

@parscale @Timcast 4) Conversion - precipitating, in what I call a participatory eschatology (end game), their own Conversion via the shared burden made light.

5) Continuance - Being with, spending time, devoting energy, contining to "be there" with them. Watering & sunning the new life planted.

@parscale @Timcast Conviction - in the old sense of the meaning of the word as being of a heartfelt nature, a strongly affirmed & held belief.

@parscale @Timcast 5th C, Continuance, Cont'd

In the case of the exchange & interaction with the woman at the well that secured an invite for Him & his 12 Jewish friends to the nearby Samaritan village of Sychar (how'd he work that out?) - they remained for 3 days unto "the harvest".

@parscale @Timcast Re: the model of "the woman at the well".

The only question that may arise is, did he really just read her mind with God-power to know her checkered past with husbands, or did her reputation precede her on the Jericho road running past Jacobs well?
