I'm so very thankful to the Lord for people like you who can research, analyze, and write about such things as this. I could never in the rest of my lifetime (I'm 68 btw) have put all this together. Thank you for educating me, and I see this in a whole new light because of your analysis.

Read somewhere that most of the Japanese Christians were in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Something like 2/3’s of their Catholics were in Hiroshima. Very good piece.

Christianity was an official religion of the empire of Japan. Few know this. Christians were not required to claim the emperor was a God.

Hey bro try appealing your Twitter account again. Mine was restored last week after 8 months of being banned, and 5-6 previously rejected appeals on that banned account. I already got suspended again for 7 days over poasting a thread about South African farm murders and tribal genocides. But in my appeal I just wrote "free me", so it's worth a shot to see if they will let you slip past.

I tried appealing under the elon regime. They asked for more info. I gave it to them and then they reaffirmed my suspension. They also permanently prevented me from appealing again. I'm afraid that it really is over. Not unless somehow Elon personally sees my story and takes mercy on me (unlikely).

Okay this is just me being ignorant of your situation, sorry to hear that. You can always try creating a new account but it's very frustrating to rebuild the same sand castle that keeps getting kicked down. It's like playing a video game and almost getting to the final boss and then someone maliciously deletes your data as a joke and now you have to grind from the first level again.

Anyway me and a bunch of other guys would boost you and help you grow. I just got restored at @ThomBrady5 and a relatively small account but many of our friends are 30-50k. Numerous guys in my group chats have been privately talking about wanting to get your account restored, had nothing to do with me, other guys were spontaneously bringing it up on their own. Everybody loves and admires you bro.

You could create an anon account and then put your name in the bio so people know it's you but Twitter isn't sure if it's a joke so they don't automatically crush you like a bug.

Would be happy to talk to some of these group chats and get consensus approval to invite you in, would massively accelerate your growth if you ever decide to come back. But anyway it's your decision and I don't want to push anything on you. Just an offer you can tap anytime convenient for you.

That would be great. I would like that.

In all honesty, the hardest part about getting back on is rebuilding my account from the ground up and trying to find my friends. GCs can definitely make that easier. I appreciate the offer!
