@OrthodoxEthos @the_primuspilus @theorthobear1 @AngloVarangian I was a subscribed paid member for years and watched his live podcasts and still do. My only point is that he was not ostracized specifically due to his stance on the jab. His persecution WELL predated it.

@OrthodoxEthos @the_primuspilus @theorthobear1 @AngloVarangian I assume you mean this video from August of 2021 as a timeline reference? I watched the video provided above live. But there were concerns over a year earlier. https://t.co/sSDdzhz3No

@OrthodoxEthos @the_primuspilus @theorthobear1 @AngloVarangian Don't get me wrong. I appreciated Fr Peter very much. But I have personal emails from a ROCOR priest in the spring of 2020 where he expresses concern about Fr Peter's canonical status and that he was inquiring regarding it. And an immediate family member spoke with Abbot Luke.

@the_primuspilus @theorthobear1 @AngloVarangian @OrthodoxEthos All those criticisms were in fact aimed at him when the jab came out. However he was already in a no man's land over a year before this. So that wasn't the reason why what went down with ROCOR went down, since it happened before the jabs were even in existence.

@LowStudies @MikeWingerii @FrMatthewLC The increased risks to the mother are not super risky or unusual. Possible risk of increased hypertension or hemorrhage after delivery. These aren't rare risks and would be expected with healthy twins, which no one would ever advise abortion for.

[Photini ☦️ @slothfulpilgrim]

@LowStudies @MikeWingerii @FrMatthewLC If the baby was perfectly healthy they would however condemn abortion and do anything including risking health to carry the baby. It boils down to not wanting to deal with the disabled and viewing them as less deserving of life.

@Skepticalworm @YariLogos "It is rash to have a mouth like the devil, to have a tongue resembling that of an evil demon, especially for him that partakes of such mysteries, and communicates of the very flesh of the Lord."

@Skepticalworm @YariLogos "The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh, but the stroke of the tongue will break bones. Many have fallen by the edge of the sword, but not in such manner as those who have perished by their tongue."

[Photini ☦️ @slothfulpilgrim]

@Skepticalworm @YariLogos You are going to discuss the nature of God with that mouth?

The Anglo-Saxons didn’t usually distinguish between a snail and a slug: either one was called a sneġl. If you wanted to specify a snail, you called it a ġehūsod sneġl, or ‘slug with a house’.

🚨Paul Saladino warns LED exposure could be a health crisis on the scale of asbestos:

"These lights quite possibly are killing you."

"When we use LED light on mice, we can watch the mitochondria generally go downhill."

"We can't see the flickering, but our brain, our eyes, and our nervous system can perceive it, and it's very activating to our nervous system in a negative way.

"It can cause eye strain, headaches, migraines, anxiety."

"You'll see a slow-motion video of this and it really drives it home how crazy it is that we're sitting under these lights all day long."

It is not difficult to distinguish so-called righteous anger from unrighteous anger. The latter always stems from wounded pride and is combined with impatience, extreme conceit, and ill will toward one's neighbor; the former, on the contrary, is fundamentally benevolent toward the person who provokes it, and is inseparable from profound sorrow for the very reason that it sees evil where it would like to see good. This is why the Evangelist notes of Jesus Christ that His rebuke of the Pharisees, who were inveterate in their hypocrisy, was combined with sorrow for their moral state: "And He looked around at them with anger, grieved for the hardness of their hearts" ( Mark 3:5 ). Thus, a Christian not only can but also should be angry and indignant at those who violate the law of goodness and truth, and should fraternally rebuke them, without in the least dampening his goodwill toward the unfortunate victims of sin. Jesus Christ expresses the duty of fraternal rebuke of one's neighbor when He says: "If your brother has sinned against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother" ( Matt. 18:15 ; cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 ). Such anger, which aims to "gain a brother," cannot be bad or impermissible.
.......
But although we have the right to express just indignation at our neighbors, to make fraternal rebukes to them, without in the least changing our goodwill towards them, nevertheless we must be extremely careful in such treatment, especially when no necessity compels us to do so, for example, when the duty of an educator or a superior does not lie upon us. It goes without saying that in all cases of such treatment of our neighbors, we must not allow ourselves any kind of ridicule and mockery of them ( Eph. 4:31 ; Colossians 3:8 ; Titus 3:1 ). Finally, we must beware of expressing indignation and making rebukes to our neighbors based on mere assumptions and hearsay. “Do not judge by the appearance,” says Jesus Christ Himself, "but judge with righteous judgment ” ( John 7:24 ).
