I attempted to start a post but just ended up with a substack post. Not sure how to make it specific to PITT. So I'm posting here;

SPIRITUAL WARFARE PRAYER

A Prayer for Protection

Almighty God,

Thank you for creating us. Thank you for preserving us and our families until this time.

We pray for your protection against spiritual and physical enemies. We pray for strength to resist the devil’s attacks. Help us put on your full armor and your breastplate of righteousness. Protect us when we sleep and when we wake.

Please remove all the traps that have been set before us that we cannot see. Please protect us from the eyes and snares of the evil one. Order our steps for us so we do not walk in the company of the wicked.

Protect our families from any worldly cultures that will result in them losing their souls. Protect us from all evil attention from strangers and from those close to us. Block anyone with bad intentions from coming into our lives.

Be a shining light unto our feet so we won’t walk in the thorns or slippery slopes. Protect us from all evil including those we bring upon ourselves.

Let us not wander away from your protection come what may. Give us the strength to walk with you. Guide us from dawn till dusk. Watch over us in everything we do. Be our companion wherever we go.

Thank you for the answered prayer, Lord. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

The Graceful Chapter (revised)

I say this every evening at 7pm for all the PITT families. The original version was in the first person but I've altered it to conform to a prayer for the community. Please join me if you feel moved to do so.

I'm on EST, but I don't think it matters if we all pray at the same time or not.

That's great advice and I don't think they're weird at all.

Teach them the word PERVERT and then show them real world examples of this...there are plenty. This used to be the norm for societies. We have now been moved, by the leftist radicals, to see these perversions as identities, individual truths, natural occurrences "like rain or sunshine" and love..."all love is equal love"

It may seem harsh to indoctrinate your kid with such raw information early on, but compare that to what all of you are going through now. I'd much rather scare the living dog crap out of my child (if I had one) by telling/showing them the horrors of transition, as well as the wants of the PERVERTED POSs behind the movement, to literally screw them 10 ways from Sunday.

Show them the freaks that are pushing this societal rot and tell them they are sick, weirdos, that deserve to die. The reason this has been allowed to reach this scale is the tolerance that was sold to the Kens and Karens of the world. The virtue signaling and lack of hard pushback, comes at the cost of children.

Tell your kids that freaks like the one in the article below, are working hard to take them away from you, so they can have sex with them and let their PERVERT friends do the same. Harsh...Yes. True...You bet your ass it is. Don't be afraid to show them the raw truth, in order to protect them from it. Now, it is the only weapon, you still have.

my tips:

teach your kids about many different religions. this can be done from an early age. most kids enjoy stories of the greek gods and old and new testamate. throw in how islam started and my favorite Mormonism. better yet cults when its time to explain gender ideology its just another religion or cult.

my tip for keeping kids off smart phones is provide phone with google family link installed. tell google your child is 2yo so its not disabled when theyre 12. this app lets you block any other app. bonus : google maps tells u where kids phone is

Show your children before and after sex "change" operation pictures, especially the ones that went wrong. That's what I did and there's no way my children will be falling for this nonsense as a result. Of course we continuously talk about the plan to depopulate the planet and how the homosexual and trans agenda plays right into that. "They hate you, white Christian/Catholic man/woman, and they don't want you to reproduce" goes a long way.

I know this is way too politically incorrect to be a major point on this essay but I refuse to self censor. We need to be upping our game as evil NEVER sleeps.

Absolutely! Definitely investigate the school first. I would avoid all-girls Catholic schools at this point, too -- they are small, and it's too easy for small cells to get started and socially infect all the students.

It pains me to see this but you are right. The Catholic church has been infiltrated by homosexual communists and it is ruining the credibility of the one true church started by Jesus Christ. This hurts my soul so much because people will refuse to join the faith (scandalized, I believe its called) as it looks like a dumpster fire to those who don't understand what is happening. I pray God exposes every last one of the rats responsible for this ideological mess.

That has not exactly been my experience in the Church, but I do understand these fears. It seems that no matter where you look, institutions are not doing themselves any favors.

That is refreshing to hear! Have you read the permanent instruction of the alta vendita or any of Bella Dodd's work or Maurice Pinay's "A Plot Against the Church"?

I’d also add for girls especially, teach them how their body actually works. Do a Fertility Awareness course together. You don’t have to use it as a contraceptive, but my mum teaching me the sympto-thermal method as a teenager (who was the worlds biggest tomboy) gave me a whole new appreciation for my body and it’s power. It also helped to know how to accurately predict my period and also just how finely tuned your reproductive system is! It’s women’s 5th vital sign and knowing a FAM can also pin point any emerging problems and provide decent doctors with valuable records to begin diagnosing and treating them!

My 2 cents. Pay attention to curriculum & teachers. I told my boys not to go to the office or counselor at school under any circumstances without me present. The surveys these schools are doing are fishing expeditions & they pull children in when they have answers that are not clear. An example of a question on our school forms (are you trans? Yes, no or I AM NOT SURE). Those answers get kids pulled in & do NOT trust schools at this point. We have had MANY discussions. My boys can point out brainwashing a mile away now. I do a homeschool/college combo now. I actually have a friend that literally sold her house and moved out of State within 30 days of her daughter questioning her gender. She actually saved her.

Many people have said *physical activity* and *jobs,* and I strongly agree. Intense physical activity makes kids care more about what their bodies can do than what they look like. Work gives kids a sense of purpose and a reason to feel proud. Both exercise and work are powerful antidotes to self-hatred.

I would add: Teach your kids straight up that just people are grown-up and in positions of authority it does not make them right. The teachers can be quite stupid, unfortunately. Doctors are often mentally-out-to-lunch as well, or under weird pressures to lie. Mental health professionals, unfortunately, are often insane. Politicians lie as a matter of course. Teach them the truth about how messed up the world is, and how to analyze news stories, and how to think critically. This can not be started too young. These poor souls are growing up in clown world and the sooner they catch on the better.

I would add that if you have young kids in school, ask about their curriculum materials. Many "DEI" mandates include teaching that gender is on a spectrum. Check out the books in your kid's kindergarten class about the gender spectrum. They are definitely out there in the bookstores books like Bye Bye Binary or Peyton's Pronoun Party. The ideology is everywhere. You should also be able to download your particular school district's curriculum information.

And for those parents who think, "Kids are born transgender; you can't make someone trans", you are wrong. Completely, 100% wrong. The numbers of girls identifying as trans has increased astronomically. Most have mental health co-morbidities. There is a social contagion or social influence factor at work here. I don't think any teen is immune.

Good list! I would just add: Look at what's coming down the pike in your school district, and change schools/home school if necessary. If the tuition at the local Catholic/Christian/Prep academy scares you, ask about scholarships or student aid -- I can only speak about Catholic schools, but the ones around here offer thousands of dollars of merit scholarships to students based on an entrance exam, and they also offer need-based scholarships.

Also, I would discourage your kid from participating in the Gay-Straight Student Alliance. I am fine with my kid having any friend of any persuasion, but it's creepy to search for friends based on their sexual attraction. It's always seemed a little propagandistic to me.

I will add...our local Catholic school just spent $20k for the same SEL/CRT curriculum our public middle school uses. Don't just blindly trust private schools.

If your kids are in public school, I think it’s important to warn your kids about the fact that they’ll learn falsehoods in health. “They’re going to tell you in health class that everyone has a ‘gender identity’, and that biological sex is assigned. That’s not true. Nod and do what the teacher asks, but understand that it’s incorrect. Sometimes teachers teach kids things that are incorrect, and this is one of those times.”

Thank you all for the very intelligent "Keeping your kid safe" piece and savvy comments that follow. I am hoping to share these with persons who can influence kids, including teachers, grandparents, and religious education folks....

Dr Lisa Littman said in one of her interviews that we need to tell our children, when they are well connected to us before puberty, that adolescence will be hard and uncomfortable that they may hate their parents but all of that is normal.

The upcoming book by Miriam Grossman MD, "Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness" (comes out June 13, 2023) will be a good source.
