@starheal Isn’t this the crowd that preaches “ trad-wives” who are supposed to stay at home & raise kids? Me thinks she’s in attendance to keep him from straying.
@RevKimWChafee They do that all the time: pull bible verses out of context to push their agenda… that’s akin to false witness, but what do we expect from these “ Christians”???
@FlannelMeatball@DougWahl1 I try not to pre-judge people, and it's fruitless to try to assess where folks are politically. I treat folks they way I want to be treated. They mostly respond likewise. Good manners go a long way. That way people know you're trustworthy.. then they open up.
@DougWahl1 Trump doesn't trust anyone and wants us to be like him. This is evil... we need to trust the process that helps others not doubt their needs.
@DiscoverJesus3 You can find almost anything in scripture that justifies oppression & brutality. The bible wasn't dictated word for word, but was transmitted orally for thousands of years before being transcribed. Sometimes in the speaking/writing, words might change..
@FlannelMeatball@DougWahl1 It isn't about appearances (the devil does disguises so well), but how people comport themselves with compassion, kindness and listening skills. It's what they do that expresses their faith. Anyone can put on a cross, but that doesn't make them truly Christian.
@allenanalysis@liberal_jamie it’s all a performance for you know who: MAGA is rabidly anti-science & anyone who demonstrates knowledge & compassion is a target for their brutality.
@doyle9311@OrevaZSN “Doing it right” isn’t about a timeline: it’s about doing what needs to be done. i never taught in a wealthy school district i a wealthy neighborhood. inner city kids deserve a good education too. Time spent well.
@tweetmeat6969@OrevaZSN many teachers take summer courses, take kids on tours, go to band camp. summers are rarely off but the hours are long during the school years
@doyle9311@OrevaZSN it was never easy: you clock in at 6:30 am, leave at 6:30 pm unless you’re staying for sports & clubs. many weekends demanded attention if you were coaching. but it was worth it.
@osa_delsur@OrevaZSN so you’ve never been in the classroom? never did lunch room duty? never sat with a kid crying because their mother died? Never took extra courses during the summer to improve you skills? You have no right to judge.
@DougWahl1 This is why trump is on his revenge tour 2026: he was never accepted by the upper crust in NYC, nor the cool artsy crowd in NYC, nor accepted by political insiders, soooooo he's destroying anything within reach. Fact: he'd never associate socially with his fervent followers.
@RevKimWChafee The story of Deborah is top of my list for Biblical examples.. not only a judge but a military mastermind. The theobros have no biblical literacy. And why the heck should we look to primitive tribes for how we should live in the 21st century.
@RevKimWChafee of course scholarship is on target! but the theobros have no scholarship nor exegetical know/how. they can’t be bothered. all they have is “ cut and paste” theology paired with illiteracy, sprinkle in some bigotry..
@TrueFactsStated i think all the naysayers never read the book, nor studied ancient cultures. Most films based on classic books don’t adhere strictly to the book, but that’s what art does- modifies the original.
