This is not an Orthodox account. This is just the ravings of a man who is a bad example of an Orthodox Christian who is just trying to get by. I’m probably tired and more than likely need a drink which I won’t have because I don’t need it.

@JoshuaKbooks @SamuelMelton5 @BasedMikeLee Is he different from Heavenly Father?

@SamuelMelton5 @BasedMikeLee We believe Jesus the The Eternal God.

If only we, as Latter-day Saints, belonged to a church that had “Jesus Christ” in its name and His image in its logo … Oh wait

@Steve_Barber_ Why are the JWs considered Christian

Don't get your magic underwear in a twist Senator

@SeanParnellASW Hey, there are two types of Orthodox. Eastern and Oriental. Fix that

The Office of the Secretary of War is announcing a significant change to the Department’s categorization of religious affiliation. In a long overdue move, we reduced the list from over 200 unmanageable categories to 31. With this move, we are returning to the original intent of collecting this data - to allow our chaplains and religious support personnel to provide the best spiritual care to our warfighters. This decrease in religious affiliation codes is not designed to make any claims on the legitimacy of any faith or religious belief, nor is it intended to provide a list of “officially approved” religions. Rather, it is designed to allow chaplains to quickly look at the religious composition of their units and determine how they structure resources to best provide for warfighters of all faith groups. The Department of War places a high value on the First Amendment and the free exercise of religion. Chaplains play an instrumental role in providing spiritual care and facilitating the Warfighters' ability to freely exercise their religion of choice, or no religion at all. With this new change, we believe we can provide the best data to support our chaplains in that effort.

@aethelstanvoice @BlackBlessedLDS That’s eugenics!

@BlackBlessedLDS Humans sacrifice countless gametes and likely valid embryos while making a child. Sometimes that process goes wrong. Just like the body goes wrong. We now have the ability to catch these errors early and choose another valid embryo. We can make more healthy life than ever before!

Forcing Down Syndrome children to be born to satisfy your weird religious beliefs is fucked up.

@aethelstanvoice Is that child life unworthy of life?

@Hesycrashed Glory to God!

@Dusan_Bara Tbis is beautiful!

Inventory upgrade. New gold and white robes. Glory to God ☦️☦️ Thankful for my SF

@washingtonpost They are demons.

Monsignor Stephen Rossetti has been an archdiocesan exorcist in Washington, D.C., for nearly two decades. He was recently removed for his comments about UFOs being demons. wapo.st/4eoUG5G

@FROTHSOF @pluckysalek Pasta. Take tomato Basil soup and mix it in after pasta is done cooking.

Really need help elevating my fasting game for the Apostles' Fast...any go-to recipes from wonderworkers in the kitchen? Think "single dad with barely any time to cook"; multi-hour lentil soups aren't happening. Help is appreciated.

@danielleriche2 They viewed the child as life unworthy of life.

Maybe not !!! That’s why the aborted the baby !!! You’re getting in . Almost like people can make decisions for their own lives !

We need you guys to help. This our family, our friends, my husband’s godson, Matthew aka George. Please pass this around to everyone that you can. This will get spammed a lot here until it’s fulfilled. Link in comments

I’m taking it home!

@McJuggerNuggets You are practically if not literally a Eugenicist. You viewed your child as “Life unworthy of life” as the National Socialists would have said. You grieve me. Just why? Why is the life of your child not worthy of live? Have you ever understood what having a child means?

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21. The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided. I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley. She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained. Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000. When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed. Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism): 50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective. I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life. The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk. We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21. This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast. You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change. To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward. As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice. It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome. Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

@6079SmithWinsom @16forbs I love every word of this!

@16forbs I’m fairly certain that this is more like less than 200 year old troglodyte religion.

the best way to describe Boulder is like if a cyclist somehow became a city

Ni pa vou…..

@sweetcsdesigns Thank God. It’s annoying having only met your husband but not yourself.

@RussianLemon97 We will be back a lot though, at least I will, I’m going to probably come back a few days a month to work so I don’t have to bring all my camera equipment

I love that the only thing my kid is excited to move for is having a microwave in our Boston apartment

@sweetcsdesigns 😭. You better come down before you move.

@RussianLemon97 I’m not sure, I might be in az with my kids then
