Avenues Of Approach

 I spent some time in the military and during that time we learned how to fortify our defensive positions by recognizing the easiest ‘approaches’. Nature dictates taking the easiest path and that’s how the enemy generally moves about. While the enemies presence may not be immediately detected make no doubt they walked the easiest path right past the family’s defenses. Whether it be television, music, school at all levels, government policies and dare I say it…even church, temples and synagogues.

 

Here at Family On Trial we are committed to helping expose the disguised, subtle yet easy approaches used by those who want to create havoc in our homes to shore up the family’s defenses through our discussions. We will explore what happens inside and outside the home that either strengthens or weakens the family. Will explore the influences of celebrity that uses movies, television, music and social media to upend homes and depress our children.

 

Family On Trial is unashamedly a traditional family minded organization that focuses on traditional family values. If we are to bring balance and sanity back to our homes, back to our children then we have to go back to what works. I know, I know, I can almost hear the naysayers pining that traditional family homes have their problems too and they’re not wrong. That’s because humans are imperfect beings but that doesn’t mean you throw the baby out with the bath water. You live, you learn, you move forward as we hold fast to a tried and true family structure. In our discussions we will also cover why it “appears” tradition is wrong so that an “anything goes” mentality can persist when it comes to family structure and by extension everything else in society.

 

Society begins with family and a strong cohesive society has at it’s foundation a strong cohesive family. Weak families equal weak society’s. Fatherless homes and helicopter moms lead to weak children who have no idea how to cope with the attacks they find themselves under. There’s a reason why teens and young adults suffer from so many mental health issues. Coping mechanisms are gone which leads to anxiety, anger and depression. The folks who are still around and willing to tell others to pull yourself up by your boot straps and to push through until you see the light of day are dismissed as unfeeling caricatures that are out of touch and harmful (there is a pharmaceutical commercial that makes this very plan---they’re tagline when people give very sound advise is ‘unhelpful’. I guess you cant sell drugs unless you disparage good advice). Kids end up with little to no guidance at home and a ton of negative guidance through electronic devices delivering content designed to further undermine the family.

 

All is not lost, however, as we shed light into the dark corners to expose the unseen avenues of approach. Just as the stumbling blocks have been systematically put into place we at Family On Trial will help dismantle them as we move forward in these times which are destined to become more and more tumultuous. We will need strong families to lead. We will need strong families to defend our children. We will need each other. So join us in our efforts because there is no doubt whatsoever that the Family is On Trial.
