@Toneskeee Our 14yo (our oldest) has read the Bible cover to cover (Old & New Testament) 3x out loud w/ us & the siblings born after him. We’re currently in 1st Samuel on pass #4.
He’s also personally completing an accompanying study guide.
We study Scripture together every single night.🤷🏼‍♀️

Also, if by “Christian” they mean we believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior & the Divine Redeemer of the world, then yes. We’re Christian.
But if they mean “follows all the random non-scriptural traditions typically considered ‘standard,’” then no. We’re not. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I've waited a few days to say anything about the recent Department of War (DoW) decision to not list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a Christian religion. I wanted to make sure my opinion wasn't being driven by an emotional response.

I think it's a good thing. Initially, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was listed as a Protestant Christian religion when it was recognized by the US Military. The way that religions are listed have a few second and third order of effects, specifically manning requirements for Chaplains and Chaplain assistants across the force.

When The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was listed as a Protestant Christian religion then, from the DoW standpoint, any Protestant Chaplain can meet the religious needs of LDS Service members. When it comes to manning requirements, an LDS Chaplain and a Protestant Chaplain become interchangeable, meaning that if an LDS service member is in an area that has the required number of Protestant Chaplains then there is no need and potentially no positions for LDS Chaplains at that location. Even if the majority of Christian-affiliated service members are LDS, as far as the DoW is concerned, their religious needs are being met by the Chaplains already assigned to that location.

Listing the LDS Church as a non-Christian religion means that the DoW now needs to ensure that they have a minimum number of LDS Chaplains among their ranks to meet specific religious needs. This opens up opportunities for promotion and advancement for LDS Chaplains currently serving, as well as a potential increased need for LDS Chaplains across the force.

Plus, and this is my opinion, Church leadership probably also had a say in how the LDS Church was listed by the DoW. The Government would have consulted Salt Lake, just like they would have consulted the Vatican and major Protestant associations, in ensuring their religion was accurately listed with the DoW. Otherwise it opens the government and DoW to lawsuits related to religious freedoms.

In impoverished Africa, if you give a family a male/female pair of goats, you think you are setting them up for future prosperity. Milk, cheese, offspring to sell or raise…

But they see only 2 large meals before someone comes around with more “aid.”

Mr. Beast proved that they don't want institutions or a foundational system on which to build civilization. He dug simple wells in water starved areas. The locals then proceeded to blame him personally because he wasn't coming back to maintain them.

One might wonder why Newscum's team would post something so idiotic, but it makes sense considering they've never actually seen a project completed. It's a foreign concept to them.

I'll say it.
If you'd terminate a pregnancy b/c the baby *might* have Down Syndrome, then don't you dare bat an eye when someone uses the word retard.
Also, assume that *most* people wouldn't use it as a pejorative for actually intellectually disabled people.
Just for morons.

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.

As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.

But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.

After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?

Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?

Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).

Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?

The editors said it was too much, they explained.

The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.

It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.

And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.

Still fawning after all these years.

People on the right say “retard” sometimes.

People on the left will literally murder their retarded children.

The left will read that 👆🏻 & unironically say that right wingers are the “HaTeFuL” ones.

Truly twisted.

Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.

[nicolas, 30 ans @nic_carter]

the Henry Nowak murder sounds like a completely outrageous parody of the british criminal justice system. it's hard to believe it's real.

- native Britons can't legally carry a breadknife
- for some reason Sikhs get a special carveout and can carry "religious use" knives of any length. even over 50 cm
- 18 year old boy Henry Nowak is walking home peacefully, is fatally stabbed by Vickrum Digwa with his "ceremonial" kirpan
- Digwa claims to the police that he was racially abused and the responding police immediately believe him and shackle the dying Nowak, ignoring Digwa and his co-conspirators
- Nowak informs the officers that he has been stabbed and the officer says "You've been stabbed? Whereabouts? I don't think you have, mate."
- the officers do not check on his condition, cuffing him roughly as he bleeds out. as they read him his rights, he dies.
- Digwa's mother, Kiran Kaur arrives at the scene and takes the knife with her, attempting to conceal it
- Digwa's brother Gurpreet Digwa made the 999 call and attempted to concoct a defense for his brother, claiming he had been the victim of a racial attack
- Despite the "life sentence" the court meted out, Digwa will be eligible for parole at age 43
- there have been no consequences whatsoever for the police officers that shackled Nowak and left him to drown in his own blood while his killers watched. none of the officers have even been named

each fact is more radicalizing than the last.
