What's it like to grow up within a group of people who exult in demonizing ... everyone else? Megan Phelps-Roper shares details of life inside America's most controversial church and describes how conversations on Twitter were key to her decision to leave it. In this extraordinary talk, she shares her personal experience of extreme polarization, along with some sharp ways we can learn to successfully engage across ideological lines. She also teaches another important lesson here. That sometimes people are going to crap on you no matter what, and this is when you must stand your ground, and then walk away. The concept of peace isn't about everyone liking each other or agreeing with each other or getting along. Peace, simply means a lack of conflict. And if you have an irreconcilable difference with someone, peace can be achieved simply by not dealing with them. There is no need for pointless drama and hostility. You get to choose who you want to deal with and who you do not want to. So don't deal with people who insist upon hating you no matter how nice you try to be, because sometimes just leaving it well enough alone, is the best option. An option that prevents unnecessary drama, conflict and outrage. Be kind to those who are receptive, but for those whom are not -- don't try to control them. People only change if they want to change. You can inspire the willing, but can not change the unwilling by force. **Original on YouTube:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVV2Zk88beY **BitChute Mirror:** https://www.bitchute.com/video/GxxGpzdj1Wgn/ **Minds Mirror:** https://www.minds.com/media/1065065866255089664 **LBRY Mirror:** https://open.lbry.com/@psecdocumentary:4/TEDx--Why-Megan-Phelps-Roper-Left-The-Westboro-Baptist-Church--hd-720p-:4 TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

ABOUT: In this episode of "Paradigm Shift - An Educational Comedy" that we have titled as "PSEC - 2017 - CCN-SE05 - TFTMM: Dystopia" -- In another "Tales From The Mind Matrix" themed video: Dave Kelso (Time Warrior), Walter Kelso, Katie & Rich Reilly explore the fascinating world of police brutality in DuPage County, Illinois. As well as exploring "Despotism (1946)", "Don't Be a Sucker (1947)", "The Myth of Authority" and "The Story of Your Enslavement". This is a PSEC CCN Special Edition Presentation, designed for broadcasting on Conscious Consumer Network Independent TV. These special edition segments are meant to take the best of the best of Paradigm Shift an Educational Comedy, mixing and mashing the clips and redesigning them into a brand new derivative work for the purpose of both informing you and entertaining you. Each show will also air on the psecdocumentary YouTube Channel 1 week after they are streamed on CCN. It is our intention to inspire others to view the negative as a positive opportunity for positive change, because without compassion in our actions, one is merely "aware" but not necessarily awake. A platform of compassion is the only way to bring in a new and better world. This is the FIFTH PSEC EPISODE for CCN.
