@ShawnieTwoZero@ehenes@redeemed_zoomer Of course there are faithful churches but “the idea for new members isn't for them to join unfaithful churches” is not what RZ has been saying.
He has been saying, join the PCUSA no matter what, even an unfaithful church.
@ShawnieTwoZero@ehenes@redeemed_zoomer He stopped saying that. He’s now saying that the people should join mainline churches, regardless of the faithfulness.
There's a type of person who will accuse a woman of destroying a marriage when she leaves an abusive spouse, who will say she must stay and attempt to reform him, or else leave and live alone (unless *he* initiates divorce).
RZ is that view applied to churches.
The view insists on maintaining the formal institution above all else, meanwhile, the wife and children continue to be abused and everyone except the abuser is worse off because of it, an abuser who has himself—like the PCUSA—long abandoned God and the marriage, even if not formally.
Zoomer’s problem isn’t that he doesn’t have good points, it’s that he stubbornly refuses to listen when people tell him that he posts about it like an immature, overconfident child. I think in 20 years he’ll look back and be embarrassed at some of his brashness.
I found RZ in college several years ago and he felt like one of those dudes who was young like me but further along spiritually. As I’ve gotten older and look at him now, it feels like RZ has stayed in the same place from a maturity standpoint. Just an observation
To Those Who Compare Gaza to the Holocaust
After years of suffering, starvation and disease in the ghettos, the Nazis offered desperate Jews a way out.
They promised them jobs and a better future. They told them they were being relocated to labor camps where they could support their families.
Believing they had finally found hope, the Jews boarded the trains. Those trains took them to extermination camps.
Upon arrival, they were told they would first take a “disinfection shower” before entering the work camp. The gas chambers were disguised as shower rooms.
Many only realized they had been deceived when the gas started flowing.
That was systematic, industrialized murder built on the intent to exterminate an entire people.
In Gaza, when Israel wants to target Hamas infrastructure, it evacuates entire neighborhoods in advance, even though this gives Hamas time to escape.
Israel does this specifically to minimize civilian casualties.
These two realities are fundamentally different.
Comparing them dishonors the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
This completely ignores the normie take on ICE. Yes they should deport illegal immigrants, especially criminals, but no they shouldn’t use the illegal shock tactics they used in Minneapolis.
Body cams will be nothing but positive for this.
And you would be wrong. No human being has the "skillset" to recover a jet moving at 500 knots 50 feet off the deck if a flock of gulls is ingested and their engines flame out.
That's why minimum ceilings exist. Because people have already died.

Chill dude. We are just helping our local churches and following the great commission like Jesus told us to.
@redeemed_zoomer@mattjhedges11 You really need to realize that online isn't real life. Just because your bubble is online, doesn't mean that engaging Jay Dyer online is profitable. Churches focused on their communities is good actually.
Russia has been barred from competing in the Olympics since they started a war in Ukraine. Nothing has changed. It’s an absolute disgrace the IOC would clear them to compete while Putin continues to bomb Ukrainian cities and hold their land.
