I used to think only the Catholic Church used this phrase, but today I find myself using it in reference to The Kirk!
I saw somewhere today on Twitter that the Moderator of the Kirk preached a sermon at the Charles Show, and my mind turned to the letter Iain Lawson received from the Moderators PA. That in turn lead me to The Church of Scotland website, in particular its History section.
The first thing I noticed was the modern C of Scot has bought into the Union of the Crowns’ lie. Then came the huge omission, no reference at all to their involvement in the COR. And absolutely no mention of the Preservation of the Presbyterian Faith Act 1706.
Why would any institution leave out their part in such a pivitol part in Scottish History? They and they alone gave us our opt-out clause which still stands in Law today. Yet they go to great lengths to hide it, even deny it?
I did note that at one time they played footsie with the English Episcopalian Church, maybe that’s when everything got a bit muddled and they became Englified and have in some respects been quite happy to remain so!
But facts are facts and nothing can change the fact that once upon a time The Kirk was on the side of the People, they defended Scotland and its Constitution rather than the Monarchy. Today’s antics show just how much has changed!
Shame on The Kirk, but then it’s not the first time I have said that in my life! Is The Kirk becoming a victim of its own misdemeanours?
Oh well, I guess we are on our own, so let’s just get on with the task at hand.
Remember, every name on this document will be embedded in Scottish history for ever!
JOAN’S JOURNEY CONTINUES 
Years ago, I read (sorry, cannot recall the book/article?) that the ‘Church of Scotland’ is called thus because the foreign English Colonialists deemed that “they could call themselves by that name, as long as their ‘teachings’ remained in line with that of the foreign ‘Church of England'”.
Scottish history rewritten, still being rewritten and will continue to be so, as long as Scotland remains shackled to the Colonialist oppressors, and upon us are
IMPOSED false Nation, Nationality, flag and much more.
There are various Faiths and none, of the people of Scotland and NO ‘one’
Church ‘of’ Scotland.
It’s obvious that the misnomer ‘CoS’ buys into and bows down to the foreign English Colonialist Monarch, who is the ‘head’ of the ‘CoE’!
To whom will the ‘high heid yins’ of the ‘CoS’ Kirk give their votes/support/fealty and what ‘advice/encouragement’ will their congregation be given, up to and in that vital Scottish Election in 2026,
The Sovereign People of Scotland, who are ‘THE’ Crown of Scotland
or the
Symbiotic Symbol of the foreign English Establishment that is, the English Monarch
That upcoming Scottish 2026 Election is vital for the survival, Liberation and Decolonisation of Scotland.
IMPOSED rewritten/false history of Scotland matters greatly.
Your wonderful, informative articles provide a great ‘outlet’ to ‘clear the fog’ of the implanted false history and ongoing subliminal brainwashing of Scots.
317+ years of lies is a lot to ‘turbocharge cleanse’, even down to, what might seem of ‘minor’ importance, but isn’t.
Every falsity imposed against Scots, was to ensure that Scots as a people, would ‘one day be no more’ and we would become
“happy-clappy ‘british’ = English ‘subjects'”, with no history or memory of who and what we really were/are.
Everything about Scotland, culture, language, Religion etc
would be controlled by the foreign English Colonialist oppressors.
Over 317 years of lies/smothering of who/what we are and ongoing subliminal brainwashing is a lot to undo, but undone it can and will be!
You Joan and other fantastic Scots, do much to undo all the lies, deceit, brainwashing etc.
Thank you for all you do.
