@ick_real Absolutely yes

Does your boss have the right to tell you that your perfume is too strong and it’s offensive to others in the office and you should stop using it ?

@Kristinartz Not obligated, but you should offer.

@ThrillaRilla369 Black and white TV

Age yourself with a piece of outdated tech from your youth! I'll go first: VCRs📼

@SonofManwithus Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 Church affiliation won't make a difference.

Is the catholic church necessary for salvation? Leave a comment for clarification.

@honeymoon250 Walk away and don't go back

What’s the correct way to handle the situation???

@Geniustechw I would thank him for it, eat it, and tell him it was good.

You come home hungry, almost no groceries, no money left. This is the plate your wife (or husband) makes you. Your real reaction?

@otokyo__ 3 is nice, but the color is wrong for her. It would be lovely in a sage green or royal blue

Help me, i can’t decide For my mom 🥰

@LeahRemini Congratulations!

I graduated!!! I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a concentration in Psychology, summa cum laude! Five years ago, I started this journey with an eighth-grade education, and even that was from a Scientology school, where critical thinking was discouraged and the quality of instruction was subpar, to say the least. I did not get here alone. Thank you to @NYUSPS and @DeanKamath. Thank you to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me, especially on the days I was not sure I could do this. And there were plenty of those days. To my therapist, who told me not to give up when I was told I likely would not be accepted into a prestigious program. To my tutor, without whom I likely would have given up at the harder points along the way. To all those here who have sent me loving messages on social media. And to everyone else who has cheered me on in person through the ups and the downs of it, it means more than I can put into words. It got me over this finish line of being a student again and graduating. That goal once seemed impossible. To those who have asked me, “Why this? Why now?” I pursued higher education to reclaim a piece of myself. When you come out of a high-control group like Scientology, or even a high-control family, there are parts of you that were never allowed to fully develop. Those parts include your curiosity and your ability and right to question. Education was discouraged because knowledge creates confidence in your ability to trust your own mind and navigate the world. That leads to true independence, and that would never be allowed. I wanted that back. But more than that, I needed to understand. I needed to understand how my mother could have us join Scientology when I was just eight years old, and how my family and I could be part of something like this and stay in it for so long. I needed to understand how these systems work, how they influence people, and how they take hold. Without education, access to real information, and support, people can fall into systems that work against their best interests. Some assume that because they are educated, even highly educated, they would never fall for something like this. But it turns out that is not necessarily true. What many of us are impacted by, but never quite understand, is how high-control groups operate. Many still do not understand how misinformation spreads, and how tribalism and radicalization shape what we think, what we believe, and who and what we trust. Without that awareness, none of us are immune. Today, we are seeing how these forces can influence good people and distort reality. History has shown us that this is not new; it just comes in a different form now. Social media connects us in ways we never imagined, but it also creates echo chambers that reinforce beliefs and justify behavior without question. Real critical thinking is hard when we are fed so much by algorithms designed to appeal to us. In learning and achieving this milestone in my own life, it has helped me take a good, hard look at my own beliefs and ideologies. This journey was about healing for me, but also about figuring out how to help others in whatever way I can in the future. So what is in my future? I am considering continuing my education and possibly pursuing a master’s degree, with the goal of contributing to advocacy and policies that protect people, not systems. For now, I am taking this moment in. I am proud of myself. And I am grateful. Thank you for being on this journey with me.

@MrPitbull07 You can go to a bank and convert the coin to paper or deposit to whatever card or app you use for spending. There is no need to be so ugly about a generous tip.

@donwinslow This is not an occasion to be peevish!

I hope and pray that Savannah Gutherie's mom is found and is brought home safe. But I also would like to live in a world where a kidnapped Child of Color received this level of media coverage or anywhere close to it. When does this type of thing finally change? It's 2026.

@Matt_Pinner I've done all 20

7 for me!!….I feel confident nobody Has all 20!! How many for you?

@gpatterson828 Sifter - I have two of these!

@_falsi1ke Many, many times!

Be completely honest. Has prayer ever genuinely 'worked' for you?

@JustinPetersMin I agree with most of your narrative although I do not agree with claiming to affirm someone else's salvation. Only God gets to do that. It can be tempting to be prideful as a Christian but we must resist that.

Gotta come alongside Gabe here. He is right. I just watched the video in question, and yes, there is profanity, and yes, he did "flip the bird" at his critics. This is not about making a definitive declaration on where Kid Rock will spend eternity, but just because a celebrity claims Jesus and can articulate some semblance of the Gospel does not mean he or she is regenerate. A Christian is marked by a godly sorrow over sin (2 Cor. 7:9-11). He is grieved by it. Gleefully repeating sinful lyrics and flipping the bird at his critics is many things, but it definitely is not that. At the very, very, very best, he would be a young, very immature believer. If that is the case, he should not be proclaiming Christ in any kind of public way (he's not ready) and certainly should not be doing it in this way. He should be in a doctrinally sound church led by biblically qualified men and learning quietly. When will we learn not to jump on the bandwagon of the latest celebrity who professes Christ? How many times must we be burned? How much reproach upon Christ's name are we willing to risk by prematurely 'laying our hands' on someone and thereby becoming participators in their sin (1 Tim. 5:22)? Remember Justin Bieber? Kanye West? I have nothing at all against Kid Rock (to this day, I've never heard a single one of his songs, save for the one he rapped in this video). I will pray that he truly comes to know Christ. But to publicly affirm his salvation at this point is both unwarranted and unwise. Wait. As John MacArthur rightly said, "Time and truth go hand in hand." Can God save a celebrity? Of course. Does He save many? No (1 Cor. 1:26). But when He does save one, the best thing for that celebrity and for the witness of the Gospel is for him or her to withdraw from the spotlight and learn and grow quietly in a good, sound, local body of believers.

@Mr_Husky1 Those were the days!

My daughter says this never happened.Does anyone else remember when gas stations had "Full Service"? A guy would run out, pump your gas, wash your windshield, and check your oil without you even unbuckling your seatbelt. ⛽️🧼

@JustinPetersMin @Logos What kind of reaction would happen if it said "grow & learn from white Christian voices?" Racist? What's the difference?

Really, @Logos?

@GeneralJoeM17 Not a good time to be judging

Call me crazy but I would not have my 84+ yr old mother with medical conditions & limited mobility living on her own, in a different State in a large single family home in a remote area with far away neighbors. I also wonder how a woman that age with medical issues is going out at night to church events coming home at 930? Make this make sense

@AVGirl4Life No

YES or NO?

@KCRoyalsMuse Will blackouts apply?

The Royals have announced Royals.TV for the upcoming season. Pricing will be 99.99 per year. How are we feeling about this Royals fans?

@oelma__ All 20 for me too

8 for me!!….I feel confident nobody Has all 20!! How many for you?🤔
