@realMaalouf That's just demonic

In Norway, a pro-Palestinian activist hung herself using hooks pierced into her own skin. This is mental illness.

@IGalare @Bennieeexyz That's me

@Bennieeexyz The danger is this set of people hardly succeed in real life, and that's because; they do never develop the discipline required based on the confidence that "i can always do it".

When I was in law school I was tangentially friends with a girl who never showed up to class. Skipped lectures, dodged every seminar, had a "family emergency" for every moot court session. The night before 2nd year finals she was over at my place and casually mentioned she'd spent the last week watching every recorded lecture at 2x speed. She placed top 10 out of 300 students. Every Single Exam. And it wasn't just that she remembered the material, she actually UNDERSTOOD it. Like, laterally, practically, the way most of us who dragged ourselves to every 8am class still couldn't. She could apply case law to hypotheticals better than people who had been gunning for law review all year. I always shuddered thinking about what she could do if she actually tried. But she was perfectly content to just… chill. Some people are built different and honestly? It's annoying.

I think a lot. I think about a lot of different things, and ask questions. When it comes to deep theology though, and especially about determining someone else's fate, I find myself "like a weaned child with his mother" because I'm comfortable with knowing there is so much I can't understand, and that I shouldn't try to enforce or sell to others ideas in that category. Everyone of us is charged to work out our own salvation (with trembling)... It is not my place to determine if someone is saved or not if they hold beliefs I consider to be heretical. I might rebuke someone for espousing heresy but that isn't the same thing as determining if they are saved or not. Not that anyone is ever able to accept the distinction in the moment of my rebuke... I have been blocked on here and called a heretic myself before for saying how we present ourselves in dress does matter to God (commented about a man with makeup, copious face tattoos, and clownish clothes featuring the Lords name...he may be saved and cleaning up his appearance wouldn't save him any further, but I think it does matter...)

Belief in the empty tomb, the physical resurrection of Christ is an absolute fundamental of the faith. But if someone believes in this but has bought into a grave heresy through simplicity of mind, about say God’s nature (say denying the trinity), are they saved?

@lorahmoe My hobbies include gardening, riding horses, playing guitar...

Girls that don't get manicures and pedicures.... Why???

@TheMuppetPastor @kimmie_c_ I really need to know

@kimmie_c_ How deep was His love?

Just a reminder for Christian's celebrating Easter this week. Jesus looked like the guy in the first picture - not the second.

@Chris__X__ I did this in my mgb except a friend pushed it for me and jumped in 😁

You haven't really lived until you've had to push a car with a dead battery, jump in, throw it in 1st gear, and pop the clutch like a pro. Old-school struggles and unforgettable memories.

Everything I do is work too... But even before technology, women have always tried to beautify their homes. I live in Guernsey, where my dad's side has lived for many many generations. Since before records began in 1200. Traditional families here including mine used to have the most arduous work to do just to survive, and yet they would gather herbs and flowers seasonally and elaborately decorate their homes with them... Proverbs 31 describes godly wife collecting and making luxurious items for her family to enjoy. She is definitely work oriented, but very much concerned with the comfort and well-being and even prosperity/profitability of her home and household. I am really not trying to be argumentative, so I'm sorry if I'm stirring the pot. I just see an important distinction between a purely utilitarian workshop without care given to comforts and aesthetics, and a home curated, decorated, and maintained by a godly woman. I think it's valuable spiritually to be ready to leave everything behind, certainly, and not to be attached to worldly comforts, but that doesn't mean completely forsaking them while we do live here. Not all of us are called to live in monastic minimalism, and specifically women are called to be generously concerned with making a home a wholesomely comfortable and lovely place to be.

@ameliagier That is wonderful sister. And I in know way detract from that. But historically there was no separation in that way. Mainly because before technology everything was work.

Enough with the show homes. Houses should be more like workshops. God created us to be creators, not consumers.

@lukeappleton I'm not saying that a Christian ought to live in opulence, but I do think that it matters the work that a woman puts into homemaking... Workshop is for work but home is a place of rest and peace

Disagree Luke. One of the ways I worship is by by making my house more heavenly and thanking the Lord for all of our blessings... I glorify God through gardening and homemaking, creating a comforting safe space for my children, and I'm an artist so I make it as beautiful as I can. A shadow of what we look forward to in heaven

@lukeappleton @billiongjgly

@billiongjgly That its a higher calling to dedicate a single life to God, but if you feel called to marry or would struggle not to sin as a single person, then marriage is desirable.

Can someone pls explain this Bible verse to me 😩😩

Truth is now considered a right-wing conspiracy. That’s the chilling line from Melanie Phillips that stopped me in my tracks. She explains how we’ve reached a point where simply stating observable reality — whether it’s basic biology defining a woman or pushing back against blanket accusations that all white people are inherently bad — gets you branded as evil. Not wrong. Evil. Therefore you must be silenced, cancelled, or erased. No debate. No evidence allowed. She calls it cultural totalitarianism: a Manichean worldview where one ideology claims a monopoly on goodness, progress, and reason itself. Dissent isn’t argued with — it’s treated as a moral threat that has to be removed. The deepest irony? In an era that smugly ditched religion in the name of superior rationality, we’ve ended up rejecting reason, evidence, and open inquiry altogether. We’re so “rational” we’ve dispensed with the very tools of rationality. It doesn’t add up. Her take has me wondering how we got here — and how quickly disagreement turned into moral excommunication. Anyone else seeing this pattern play out in conversations lately? Where have you felt truth itself become off-limits?

@CBSNews Is the chocolate still going to be Hershey's chocolate though cuz that's kind of an issue if it is

Hershey said Wednesday it will use classic recipes for all Reese's products starting next year, a change that comes after the grandson of Reese's founder criticized the company for shifting to cheaper ingredients. cbsn.ws/4dooQWQ

@EricLDaugh Ban surrogacy, it is human trafficking

🚨 HOLY CRAP. As the Supreme Court considers abolishing birthright citizenship for migrants, it's been exposed that a Chinese billionaire has over 100 AMERICAN citizen children through surrogacy x.com/i/status/20390… WILL CAIN: "The idea — build a future family and business succession plan. Some clients, by the way, request up to 100 babies via multiple surrogates." "It can cost as much as $200K per child…Also, surrogacy is illegal in China. Nearly 41% of international surrogate parents in the U.S. are Chinese.” SCOTUS needs to end this SCAM!

@AB84 Gratitude to God. List things morning and night and thank him

Without drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression?

@yoalexrapz Made me lol

Grandmother would be a beautiful name for a baby girl

@bankertobuilder There is large print maximalist wallpaper in most rooms, and upcycled brightly painted antique dovetailed solid wood furniture. And gray laminate/lvp floors

This old home needed a refresh We got rid of the gross overgrowth, updated the colors to something modern, and gave the place a timeless feel So proud of my team

It's very possible that the extraction method was not sufficient in the tablets that you took. I don't know about Hawthorne but it's true about a lot of different supplements. Goldenseal for example, tablets do absolutely nothing, capsules do nothing, tincture cures tonsillitis for me

@sharonxmartin I took hawthorn tablets for years. Made no difference

My blood pressure yesterday - on the left, after a 31-hour fast. On the right, 12 hours after breaking the fast. I took four readings on each occasion and they were all similar. This is the second time I’ve noticed that fasting regulates my BP, from Hypertension Stage 3 to Normal. Now I know this, I no longer need meds but just need to fast as often as possible!

@JacquiDeevoy1 @RupertLowe10 I think not having the death penalty is a moral failure. The only alternative is that you force victims (including the public taxpayer) to financially support the incarceration of their assailants. Not every crime deserves the death penalty but the ones that do, absolutely do.

I had no idea Rupert Lowe @RupertLowe10 supported the death penalty. I am 💯 AGAINST the death penalty for many reasons and if it was ever reinstated in the UK, I would leave immediately. What are your views on the death penalty and how would you react if it were reintroduced?

Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science... The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

@jk_rowling I needed an option for agree but also indifferent...

I would like to remind the two members of my immediate family who voted against me in this poll that this was an unofficial, non-legally binding referendum, conducted under duress. In fact, I suspect vote tampering.
