@luinalaska @Project_J0EL You’re really experiencing both sides of X today, goodness gracious.

@jgrenn @luinalaska Have you ever thought that it’s pretty insulting that small town folk are too stupid to figure out how to get their birth certificates and documentations? Only big city people with liberal arts degrees can figure it out, poor poor stupid small town folk.

@blaiseforet My elders never even email the women in the church without CCing either the other elder, the husband or their wife.
English
If you are a female in a church and you receive private texts messages or DM’s from your married pastor, that dude shouldn’t be a pastor. Full stop.
Give me all the caveats in the world on this one, but that dude is either a creeper OR he is immature and needs a mentor quick.

@julieheglund Their actions at all, but I do think that the headlines are being incredibly misleading.
English
@julieheglund So, there might be an explanation here. It’s pretty standard procedure for CPS to remove children from the home during the course of a sex crime investigation. If the parents don’t comply, in some jurisdiction, the parents can be charged with false imprisonment. I’m not defending
English
@CatholicCharm Comply, she would have been arrested with false imprisonment. This doesn’t exonerate her obviously, but this headlines like this can be deceiving.
English
@CatholicCharm This is not a defense at all: I think that she was arrested for refusing to temporarily hand over her children to the care of CPS during the investigation. It’s standard in some states to temporarily remove children from the home during a sex come investigation if she refused to

@WonderWomaNinja @BiblicalBeauty I think there’s a certain generation of people who believe that books, libraries and bookstores are safe. That’s how they get infected with so much of the gender stuff. They’re powerful places, far from safe. But some don’t have that awareness.
English
@MReformatrice @BiblicalBeauty Ohhhhhhh aww yeah. Sounds like the neighbor we have- offered my daughter a bunch or these books said his late wife had all these books and they were titles that sounded awesome… nope they were very mature books.
English
My goodness, we need to get back to teaching basic etiquette and simple gratitude. 😬

@WonderWomaNinja @BiblicalBeauty Thinking further than “she’s a preteen and she likes hockey, there’s a hockey player, this will be good”. We were able to exchange it and she something else. But yeah, it was an awkward moment.
English
@WonderWomaNinja @BiblicalBeauty I want to be kind here, this is a unbelieving family member of my husbands who really didn’t know my daughter and she was unexpectedly going to be at a Christmas party and felt like buying her a gift. She was told my daughter liked books and she grabbed it from target without

@Andrewnsnyder Imagine you’re being Elijah Wood, reading them for the first time and thinking “oh I know this”, thinking you know what’s going to be happening next and then you get to the end. 😱
English
Imagine being Elijah Wood reading The Lord of the Rings for the first time.
That has to be a surreal experience.
LOTR Universe@Lordoftheringsu
Elijah Wood is finally reading The Lord of the Rings 25 years after playing Frodo Wood proceeded to made it even worse for himself by pointing out that they actually started shooting the Lord of the Rings films in October 1999, meaning he’s actually had 27 years to read the books and still hasn’t yet. “I’ll at least say this: There’s an update,” he hedged. “I have started them.” Colbert and Wood then exchanged a handshake over his small, but important progress. “Thank you,” Wood said. Referencing Tolkien’s high-fantasy masterwork, he continued, “And they’re incredible!”

@farmingandJesus I’m so glad Mary is in heaven, I would be absolutely devastated and appalled if millions of people were led astray by the worship of my image.
English
They always talk about Mary when they talk about “falling in love with the Catholic faith” it always comes back to Mary, a fellow sinner saved by grace.
Every. Single. Time.
Thank God for the reformation.

@DexOlesa @AKofiCup Right exactly, my every day bible is the 1977 NASB, unless someone is reading a translation that is genuinely full of error or the Message or something, I don’t understand why people have to get all up in arms. Some languages have one, or none. Let’s praise the Lord for His grace
English
@MReformatrice @AKofiCup I mean I dislike the LSB, BUT if someone likes it that's fine. I just don't. Same with ESV. It's fine. I like others better that's all
English
I'm not an ESV user but the hate train on the ESV in reformed circles is weird to me.
English
@BiblicalBeauty Although even in this case, I don’t let my daughter read anything I haven’t first read anyway. In this case it was more awkward than anything.
English
@BiblicalBeauty I definitely agree with you when it comes to toys, last Christmas we did have a bit of an incident with a family member who unintentional got my 11 year old a adult romance/smut (it had one of those with a cartoon covers) and now I ask people to text me before buying a book.

@SlowToWrite How long until a mega church does this after their pastor dies?
English
This is dark.
This is what happens when society loses what it means to be made in the image of God.
This isn't Val Kilmer. It's a soulless image mimicking him.

FIRST LOOK: Val Kilmer has been resurrected via AI to star in the new movie "As Deep as the Grave." Kilmer was cast in the movie in 2020, five years before his death. But he was too sick amid his throat cancer battle to ever make it to set. Now an AI version of the actor is appearing in the film, with the full blessing of his daughter, Mercedes: "He always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling. This spirit is something that we are all honoring within this specific film, of which he was an integral part.” “He was the actor I wanted to play this role,” says writer-director Coerte Voorhees. “It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest... His family kept saying how important they thought the movie was and that Val really wanted to be a part of this. He really thought it was important story that he wanted his name on. It was that support that gave me the confidence to say, okay let’s do this. Despite the fact some people might call it controversial, this is what Val wanted.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lH1PI

@jaysonyork I say this with total bias because I truly love my church; but we do a lot of cool stuff that I just adore and I’m so thankful to God that He brought us there.
English
@MReformatrice That’s actually a really cool way to do it. Never heard of that or thought of that, but I love the idea

Unpopular pastoral opinion:
Losing the midweek gathering of the church and replacing it with “small groups” in homes on various nights has been a net negative for the fortification and mission of the church.
There are positives, there are negatives. Overall, it’s been an L.
