@BasedSavannah @ShiraDinal_ @charliekirk11 They likely got a B2 tourist visa, all it requires is proof of where they will stay and funds to support themselves

@BasedSavannah @charliekirk11 There really is no such thing as anchor babies. USCIS will deport/tell the parents to leave and leave it up to them whether they take their US baby home with them, or leave them in the States. Having an American baby does nothing for someone’s immigration status

@IrisOosterlinck @jsznp Laurent isn’t in this shot, couldn’t he have been waiting by the inquiry table, having suspected they’d inquire based off her 5.8 difficulty from previous floor exercises, and submitted it instead of Cecile?

@CrucibleOfThght @Leno_Hernandez when it comes to certain sports, we have to recognise that someone with XY chromosomes is going to generally be physically stronger, & pose a danger to someone with XX, whatever gender they identify as in outward appearance.

No matter which side, killing civilians is a war crime. Always. Resistance to apartheid and oppression is a human right. Always. One does not cancel out the other-they are two different issues. Anti-Palestinian propaganda seeks to conflate them to justify genocide.

@Joel_Preston Helping Y&C workers to build, lead & equip teams - Training/educating & inspiring ordinary’ members of the congregation to serve and get involved in the teens and kids’ ministries. If the YW or CW has to move on, the groups & ministries can continue without interruption

My politics as a Christian is wanting all people to have food, drinkable water, shelter, healthcare, education, a livable wage, liberty and justice no matter if they share my religious beliefs or not.

Yet, this seems extremely controversial to so many fellow Christians.

@hollybishu Not really a Bible study, but the book Cherished by Rachel Gardner is an “oldy but goody” for girl’s groups or mentoring! It’s on Amazon I believe

[Jodi Thomas @jodithomas94]

@_nomadic_soul Reading Lucy Peppiatt’s books and realizing my gut feeling was right all along. Paul was FOR women in all types of positions and trusted them, we have consistently misread the text and Lucy unpacks it all so well

You're not smarter than the people in the documentaries if you center your life & doctrine around the personality or organization of some Christian celebrity or guru. Your documentary just hasn't been made yet.

The only way to win that game is not to play. Jesus really is enough

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Religious fundamentalism that holds girls & women responsible for protecting the boys & men from sin is a shelter for predators of the worst kind. It is inevitably criminal & an insult to true religion & to the name of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior, with whom children were SAFE.

The White House is orange tonight to honor all the lives lost to guns.

Just in my lifetime, we’ve lost more lives domestically to guns than all the casualties of all of America’s wars through history combined.

Enough.

Learning about TBRI through @ShowHope the day after watching Shiny Happy People is night and day. Please remember not all evangelical christians are like what you see of fundamentalist denominations you see in the documentaries like Shiny Happy People

Every Young Man's Battle can't help boys recover from porn because it agrees with porn's central premise: it sees women and girls as objects.

New Bare Marriage podcast up with @ZacharyCWagner and @andrewjbauman responding to quotes!

Paul identifies at least 18 female friends and co-ministers in his letters. I give a short line about each of these women here. (From my archives.)

@JJ_Denhollander Right! The best counsellors I had was one who intimately loved Jesus, but was also highly qualified in the psychology of trauma amongst other things! She paired the 2 worlds into one paradigm and it paved the way for the Holy Spirit to truly heal

[Jodi Thomas @jodithomas94]

As I read stories of hurt, reflect on my own wounds, and my own sin, I’m also being reminded and welcomed back to the true character of Jesus.
Excuse the book stains, I have littles! @ihurtpodcast

@BeccaLindenbach We have this book & really like it, but only in conjunction w/ all the other Bible stories, books, & our own testimonies we have/give that give the full picture. If I was only using this book, it would be a problem, but as just a small part of their overall discipleship, it’s ok
