Agreed (but TJ did not say "everything", just the targeting of the faithful). So, the fact that we have a choice makes it all the more damning for each of us when we find ourselves succumbed to a situation that causes us to lose our choice (even violating our conscience) for the sake of the "collective" or "movement".

No, I do not. However, I do know that Satan can integrate himself by means of influence when we harbor a sinful approach to various aspects of our life. When this happens we become blind to the truth. I speak for myself. Anger was embedded in me at a very young age and it blinded me for many years. My target: Thankful Jane.
