Retired homeschooling mum; wife of one, mum of four and a cockapoo; saved by grace. Love Christ, my family, my neighbour. Hate State power. Also hate masks
@mattvanswol@realchasegeiser@LABeachGal1 Matt, remember
- the days will be long, but the years are short;
- homeschool is not school done at home. The main subjects for young children takes a tiny amount of time. Pottering around the house, learning chores, talking about *everything* with mum as she works IS education
No @BBCNews
UK is not facing lowest growth because of energy prices “due to the Iran war”.
We have highest electricity prices because of insane pursuit of net zero/failure to exploit our North Sea oil and gas.
We also have an economically illiterate Labour government
I’ve seen many comments from Roman Catholics over the past several days that go something like this:
“Yeah, I think what the Pope is doing is wrong (cozying up to Islam), and it’s unsettling to me—but I can’t and won’t leave the Roman Church because of the Eucharist/the Mass.”
This precisely highlights what I would argue is Rome’s trap. They’ve convinced—or confused—their members into believing the following sequence:
1. The Eucharist (Communion/the Lord’s Supper) is the actual, physical body and blood of Christ. The bread and wine ARE Jesus.
2. The Roman Catholic Church is the only true church (“the one true Church”), and therefore the only institution with the authority to “transubstantiate” the Eucharist into the physical body and blood of Jesus.
3. Taking the Eucharist at a Catholic Mass is how one primarily makes atonement for sin. Baptism, they claim, washes away “original sin,” wiping past transgressions from one’s record from the point in time of the baptism—but future sins must be cleansed through participation in the seven sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church, chief among them the Eucharist.
In other words, they believe their eternal salvation is dependent on the Roman Catholic Church administering the Mass.
Given that framework, it’s not hard to see why leaving the Roman Catholic Church would feel existentially dangerous to many adherents.
If you’ve been taught that grace is uniquely dispensed through that institution—and that your ongoing forgiveness is tied to participation in its sacraments—then walking away doesn’t feel like switching churches; it feels like forfeiting access to Christ Himself.
That creates a powerful psychological and spiritual dependency: the Church is no longer a guide for discipleship & a community of believers (a family of families), but the gatekeeper of salvation (right-standing before God) itself. In other words, you need their rituals, specifically, to go to heaven.
From a structural standpoint, this system reinforces loyalty by raising the perceived cost of dissent to the highest possible level. I would argue that this isn’t incidental—it functions to preserve institutional authority by binding the individual’s eternal security to continued participation in that specific system.
So when the Pope does something unbelievably wicked (as has happened many times in history, as it is now), what are the members of Rome to do? They must submit anyways.
Does this sound like an honest, godly, or Christ-honoring institution/system?
@evi_dixon@paramounttactcl@RealCandaceO Oh Evi … not sure whether I should laugh or cry at your comment. Do you actually believe this? Or are you regurgitating phrases like this just for clicks or laughs?
@skipfornow90i7@paramounttactcl@RealCandaceO Interesting that you correlate numbers of followers with being right…
A quick look through history and through the Bible will show your position for what it is.
Nope. It wasn't 'fine print.' It was a neon sign. You didn't need a magnifying glass; you needed a spine. It stared you down from your flat-screens from day one. It was right there, broadcast in 4K directly into your retinas. Millions saw the trap & fought back while so many of you stared right at it & chose to be blind.
The current anti-Israel and even anti-Jewish sentiment online is a social contagion, no different than transgenderism or autism before it.
Of course, there is actually a condition known as gender dysphoria. But every family in Hollywood didn't suddenly and coincidentally have at least one child with gender dysphoria at the exact same time by natural processes.
And of course there is actually a condition known as autism. But every family in Manhattan didn't suddenly and coincidentally have at least one child with autism at the exact same time by natural processes.
You aren't an Israel skeptic, and you didn't start "noticing." You were told, and shown by interested parties, and you were rewarded with attention and dopamine by the tellers and showers.
And as with every social contagion, what you have been told and shown is an overwhelming quantity of selectively chosen half-truths -- or full-truths with half-context.
You believe you are a free thinker, but when every "free thinker" arrives at the same conclusion at the exact same time... well, the thinking isn't as free as you believe it is.
Bill Clinton: “The Palestinians were offered a state. They refused. A state wasn't their goal. Killing Jews was."

🚨 Unsealed warrants reveal alleged letter from Tyler Robinson to his boyfriend: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I took it."
This is shaping up to be an open-and-shut case. There are thousands of pieces of evidence that haven’t even been unsealed yet.
Don’t let these podcasters fool you, follow the evidence, not emotions.
I hate to contradict Trump here, but the main problem with Tucker, Candace, Alex, and Megyn isn't low IQ (true though that may be). It's low integrity. Low morals.

Christian kids are being sold as slaves in the Congo.
Some are just 4 years old, sold as sex slaves or to cobalt mines by Islamist groups and smugglers.
Where is the UN?
Where is the Left?
Where is Hollywood?
“Black Lives Matter” they cry…
…except when it’s black Christians
Bill Clinton: “Palestinians were offered a state on the entire West Bank and east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel accepted, but Palestinians refused. They did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. All they wanted was to kill Israelis"
