@rickygervais Amazing they gave the show that after you ripped Hollywood a new one.

'After Life' named Best Modern Comedy👊dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/arti…

@toys_retro I remember when he had just turned eighteen. Though he had a heart of stone as a young boy, he did work his fingers to the bone from 9 to 5. (Sounds like an office job though; I worked cement and construction and we started at 7.)

@ThrillaRilla369 Why do the highschoolers from that time all look like they're in their 30s?

Who else still has their high school yearbooks? 🖐️

@LutheranAnswers I had to stop and think about that one...

One difficulty Christians have to deal with: We have no written record of Jesus - at all, anywhere - until the mid-to-late first century.

@ThrillaRilla369 Of course not but, there is something unique about meeting with other sincere Christians and worshipping together. In fact, the Bible commands us not to abandon this practice (Hebrews 10:25) because it's too important for our own growth, encouragement, and blessing.

In a pretty heated debate Do you need to go to church to worship God? ⛪️ 🙏

@WhitakerTA_ I believe most of the western world is hoping and praying they'll be able to reverse the insanity.

The UK just deployed a political weapon it's only used once before in modern history. And nobody is talking about what it just backfired into. 🚨 🚨 🚨 KEIR STARMER BANNED FOREIGN JOURNALISTS FROM ENGLAND TO STOP A RALLY → IT PRODUCED THE LARGEST ANTI-GOVERNMENT MARCH IN YEARS 🚨 🚨 🚨 The Home Office issued entry bans on 11 foreign nationals ahead of the 16 May 'Unite the Kingdom' rally in central London. Rebel News founder Ezra Levant. Multiple journalists. Commentators. Banned from the country. To stop a march. Metropolitan Police deployed 4,000+ officers. Live facial recognition. Drones. Dogs. Horses. The result: tens of thousands — some estimates reaching hundreds of thousands — flooding the streets of London anyway. THE WEAPON: → UK Home Office entry bans — 11 foreign nationals barred from the country → Prime Minister publicly labeled the rally "extremist" and "hatred and division" → Starmer framed it as "a battle for the soul of our nation" in direct pre-rally statements → Police mobilized at a scale typically reserved for state visits or terror threats → Live facial recognition deployed across central London → Rival pro-Palestine march simultaneously permitted on the same day → Metropolitan Police prepared for 50,000 — the actual crowd exceeded preparation → Government rhetoric amplified international media attention across the US and Europe THE TARGET: → A march organized around "national unity, free speech, and Christian values" → Organized weeks after Reform UK seized 1,350+ council seats and control of 13 councils in the 8 May local elections → Reform's gains came primarily at Labour's direct expense — Essex, Sunderland, council after council THE MATH: → Reform UK: 1,350+ seats gained in a single election cycle → 13 councils flipped — including Essex with 42 seats → Starmer's response: ban journalists, deploy 4,000 officers, call the march extremist → Outcome: the bans became the story, the march became a symbol, and the streets filled anyway Read that again. 💀 Every ban Starmer issued handed organizers a government-censorship narrative 💀 Every officer deployed turned a political rally into a national confrontation 💀 The suppression didn't shrink the movement — it advertised it ⚠️ Reform just proved it can win elections. The march proved it can also fill streets. ⚠️ Starmer called it "a battle for the soul of our nation" — and then lost the visual battle on live television ⚠️ This isn't a fringe moment. This is what a political realignment looks like in the streets. They're showing you the arrests and the police lines. They're NOT showing you what this sequence actually means — a government that just lost 1,350 council seats in one night responded to the aftermath by banning journalists and calling a march extremist, and the streets answered with the largest visible opposition mobilization in years. You don't ban foreign journalists to stop a fringe event. You ban foreign journalists when you're afraid of what the footage will show. And you only deploy 4,000 officers with drones and facial recognition when you already know the crowd is going to be too large to ignore. Process that. Most people won't see this. RT to change that. 🔥 I'll keep you updated as this unfolds, turn on notifications this is EXTREMELY important.

@RealJamesWoods Trump was filling stadiums; Biden couldn't fill a coffee shop even counting his staff. 0% chance that election was legit.

Quite the contrary. It was unequivocally a fraudulent election. It makes perfect sense if you face the facts.

Prediction: world opinion is going to keep getting worse and worse, while Israel grows stronger and stronger. The end result being that Israel will be the only place in the world that is really safe for the Jewish people. Could be wrong, time will tell but, remember this when it happens. Like it or not, the Jewish people are at the center of it all.

How would you rate Israel's performance in each of the following fronts? - Gaza - Lebanon - Iran - Yemen - West Bank - Syria - World opinion

@AffluentMist Westerner for the next month after even looking at that mess...

The final boss of street food 😭 I wonder what their immune system is made of.

@ThrillaRilla369 I'll give you 50 bucks if I never have to watch an episode.

You get $50… but you can never watch the Kardashians again. Deal?

@bluebottle931 @pdchilders85 @Sarahhuniverse I think they were tilting the piece back and forth to keep the balls moving, I may be wrong on that though; regardless, nothing unpredictable in this at all.

@pdchilders85 @cnchfitz @Sarahhuniverse And a motor moving the magnet

How chaos theory becomes order....

@adihsaR_Oni @Sarahhuniverse No, there was nothing unpredictable in this at all. It was precisely engineered for a specific outcome. The opposite of Chaos theory.

@cnchfitz @Sarahhuniverse I think that was the point

I agree with that to a point but, Paul pointed to creation being a witness for God and the law of God written in our hearts. He also quoted non-Christian Greek poets to help prove his point on Athens hill (understanding his audience; he wouldn't have done that with a Jewish audience. With them, he used Old Testament scripture. With non-Jews, he used other tools at his disposal.) For example, a persuasive argument, in my mind, is the coding in the DNA and the nano-molecular machinery making use of the code in all living cells which point to a creator. This, like Paul, we can use to point to a Designer/ Creator for all life. The initial fine tuning, discovered by secular physicists, of the universe is another strong indicator, the historical facts surrounding the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, etc. This is a line of reasoning called "Natural theology" and although it isn't sufficient it's another "tool" in the Christian's toolbox to "Contend for the Faith", to give an answer for the hope that is in us, and, like Paul, to persuade and instruct those that oppose themselves (2 Timothy 2:25). In short, I don't see why anything from scripture that says that any these things can't be used in persuading people as to the validity of our faith: thus following the direct commandments were given to do so in the Bible. (I Peter 3:15, Jude 3) So, regardless, I reject the initial quote from Tozer. Scripture clearly shows and states that we are, in fact, to contend for the faith, give rational answers for our hope, and, like Paul, try to persuade people to the best of our abilities and knowledge; and, like Paul, use the creation, use non-Christian writers, use the natural law written in everyone's hearts as tools to do that. (Not saying we shouldn't use scripture at all or, that the Holy Spirit isn't the ultimate one working in a person's heart; simply that God has set it up in such a way that we are to declare the gospel and the more tools we have in our "toolbox" to do so, to give an answer, to contend for the faith, to persuade, the better.)

@cnchfitz Right, so like the quote says, we declare thus saith the Lord and don't go beyond that. - Kristen

E) X would explode for a week and then we'd move on to the next "big" story. At this point, disclosure has pretty much happened in a lot of people's minds. (Or, it will when Steven Spielberg's movie comes out next month.) Their thoughts on it have more or less solidified one way or another. I seriously doubt it's going to be a world shifting event. However, if they show up and introduce themselves... that may be different; especially if other events accompanies the revealing of themselves.

❓I have often said that UFO disclosure is a paradox because it is both impossible and inevitable. The implications of releasing this foundational secret are truly revolutionary, and the aftermath is incredibly difficult to predict. If full disclosure were to happen tomorrow, what do you think would be the most immediate global impact? A) Release of breakthrough energy technologies B) Massive political and social upheaval C) The expansion of a global surveillance state D) A profound shift in religious and philosophical beliefs 👇Let me know your choice in the comments and tell me why.

@SpillTheMemes I don't know... you ever look at yearbooks or videos of highschoolers from that time? They all look like they're in their 30s. No idea why that is.

😂

Absolutely. I agree with that 100%. For Christians, there are two things that must be true for our belief to be correct: 1. A Creator God must exist and 2. that Creator God must have raised Jesus Christ from the dead; thereby putting "His" stamp of approval on the life, message, and ministry of Jesus Christ proving him to be who he said he was (context is everything when talking about rising from the dead.) If either one of those things are false, then Christianity is false. (Jesus Christ was a well meaning teacher who was half-crazy.) If just 2 is false, then Christianity is false and we are back to some kind of Theism or Deism. You're absolutely right. (As to reasons to believe the resurrection is an actual historical event, I would recommend the works of people like Dr. Michael Licona, Dr. Gary Habermas, and Dr. William Lane Craig. They have done extensive work into "the historicity of the resurrection".)

@cnchfitz @TheUfoJoe God can exist without your religion being entirely correct. That is another option to be fair.

Maybe. But, if a God (or god) exists, it's not the one I was taught about growing up in a Catholic (and then Born-Again Christian) household. IMHO. Knowing what my parents and family went through when my 8-year-old sister was killed in a car accident (train hit the car) when my mom was driving makes me question everything. Everything happens for a reason? Just part of God's plan? Bullshit, IMO. Unless God is a sadist. I wasn't born yet. I've shared more details on here about that over the last few years and was even able to find the local newspaper article on it at the time in 1964. My mom lived with that guilt her entire life, my grandmother had to spend time in a mental hospital after a nervous breakdown, and it still affects other family members 'til this day because, IMO, other events took place that were brought about by her death. God won't give you more than you can handle. Tell that to people who commit suicide because bad things happen to them.

I didn't even mention God in the reply so, "Stockholm syndrome" doesn't apply. My point was simply that suffering (wherever it comes from) can, and very often does, have positive benefits we may not see at the time but, reveal themselves later. As to the "Stockholm Syndrome" accusation in general, I would say it all depends on whether or not Jesus was who he said he was. In other words, the cross, the burial, and the resurrection are the crux of the matter; if true, God himself entered into human suffering, hardly the action of an abuser; if it's not true, well, then it's all a decent into insanity and ultimate gibberish anyway, so who cares? Nothing, including suffering, matters at all; so, we are getting pissed off over literally nothing: bags of chemicals with the delusion of "I" arguing over delusions produced by chemicals arranging themselves in a certain way at certain times giving a delusion of "reality"; the delusion ending when those chemicals break apart. As to why God may allow suffering to happen inside of His creation, there are multiple reasons why this could be. (I can think of 7 or 8 off the top of my head.) Anyone genuinely looking for some answers can easily find them with just a little good faith research. My main point, however, was that rejecting God, or the idea of God, on the basis of suffering may seem convincing on a sophomoric level but, it is specious at best and simply serves as an excuse to arrive at a conclusion that, if the suffering excuse were not there, would have been arrived at via some other excuse. In other words, the "suffering" excuse is simply a covering for something more deep and fundamental-- the most convenient route to get to the desired conclusion: God sucks and I won't believe in him. Using suffering as an excuse just gives off the air of legitimacy so that one can say, "I can't believe in him." When really it is, "I won't".

@cnchfitz @TheUfoJoe Congrats what you just described is Stockholm syndrome. Almost like beings who profit off our suffering would love to promote the thinking/mentality you just described. I commend your stoicism and growth as a person though. However using it on a macro scale is dangerous.

@yankeedraft Any Westerner eats that and he'll be power washing his toilet bowl out of his butt for a month, while mainlining antibiotics.
