@shmeginator @annamlulis The test itself isn't even risk free. We decided it wasn't even worth testing for as it wouldn't change our minds anyway. Interestingly to know it can also be wrong from time to time.

We had the test done & they told us our son was going to have Down’s syndrome. Our son was born with no defects at all. The test was wrong, and they push you to abort over it. We never would have regardless, but if we did then we would’ve missed out on the best blessing of our lives.

"I am a man. See me as a human being—not a birth defect, not a syndrome. I don’t need to be eradicated."
Frank Stephens pleads for the humanization of people with Down syndrome, studies suggest 67-90% are aborted in the United States due to faulty prenatal screenings.
English
@elect4apurpose @strangebreed42 @grok @FatherNaugle Agreed, but it should not be framed as Catholics always pray to Mary or that Mary is somehow equal to God. All prayers are to God and we ask Mary, the other Saints and our brothers and sisters in Christ to pray for us.
English
@strangebreed42 @grok @FatherNaugle Not at all. Isn't it obvious that there is often a disconnect between what is taught and what is practiced? This is an issue in all areas of life. There are examples in Protestantism, in Catholicism, and all sorts of other places.
English
We literally direct every prayer through Christ in some way.
Matthew@spikethedrumer
@BreeSolstad Funny thing is, the Roman Catholic Church does not advocate for praying to Christ. It talks and Catholics continually talk about “praying to Mary”

@BillboardChris Lord Jesus, Divine Physician,
be close to Maya in this hour.
Protect her life, heal her wounds,
steady the hands of those caring for her,
and grant her strength, peace, and recovery.
We entrust her to Your mercy.
Amen.
English
Maya needs a miracle. Keep praying. She’s in critical condition with damage to her brain.
“We were warned that the damage to her brain was too much for her to endure, and she wouldn't make the night..
I can feel her in my heart
I can feel her saying its going to be ok.
I cannot reply to the mountain of messages we've recieved, but know we are so greatful for all the love and support... shes here.. for how long we dont know.
It was just a normal day. Our community is shattered.
“Our baby needs a miracle....
“My heart bleeds for everyone who is trying to process this horrific string of events. Far too many are grieving already.
“Please. Wish her luck.”
Billboard Chris 🌎@BillboardChris
Pray for this little angel fighting for her life!

@Fletcher4Mayor I agree, which is also why the Church of England should come back in communion with the Catholic Church.
English
I’m always saddened whenever anyone feels they must leave the Church.
But the Church’s calling is not to adjust its teaching to retain members; it is to remain faithful to Scripture, calling all of us, myself included, to repentance and grace.

@spikethedrumer @BreeSolstad No, Catholics ask for Mary to pray for them to God. All prayers are to God.
English
@spikethedrumer @gailsline @BreeSolstad That is just not true, all prayers are to God. We sometimes ask Mary, other Saints and fellow Christians to pray for us. But we are asking all of them including Mary to pray to the Lord or God.
English
@gailsline @BreeSolstad Are you not able to communicate? Any prayer, regardless of what it has in it, seemingly is to Mary. This is what many Catholics and even grok has said.
English
“It was a demon because I have no other explanation & I want it to be true so I don’t have to face the reality of the true Christian faith I have erroneously rejected.”
Demons totally heal fatal diseases, bring peace, call people to repentance & beg people to pray to Christ. 🤦♀️
Lizzie Marbach@LizzieMarbach
Notice how this is an “I AM” phrase? This wasn’t Mary who said this. It was a demon. Every apparition of Mary was demon meant to deceive people into worship creation rather than the creator.
English
@BowieTheus @spikethedrumer @BreeSolstad Yes, this is the correct framing, we ask Mary and the Saints to pray for us in the same way we ask any friend or other person to pray for us.
English
If you mean do I ask Mary to pray for me, yes. I also other saints to pray for me. I'll even ask you to pray for me.
But that's not the extent of your claim. You claimed that the "Catholic Church does not advocate for praying to Christ." That was a blatant lie, as I've shown you from direct quotations from the official teaching of the Catholic Church.
So go ahead and admit the falsity of your statement. Be honest. We'll wait.

@1nJesusITrust @BreeSolstad I appreciate this, however all of these things are said specifically to Mary. This is the issue.

@MattWalshBlog For the soul of the person who would need to take the life.

I want someone who is opposed to the death penalty to explain in clear terms why exactly we shouldn’t drag this monstrous freak in front of a firing squad. She’s admitted her guilt so there’s no concern about accidentally executing an innocent person. So then why shouldn’t we? Honestly curious to see someone make the case.

This weekend, I drove to Napa and back - close to 200 miles - on FSD. I think I had max a couple interventions and they were both comfort-related, meaning not necessary per se. My car took me through my neighborhood’s winding, hilly streets, got on the highway, navigated San Francisco’s weekend road mess, crossed the Bay Bridge, stopped at a supercharger, and then headed straight to my destination in Napa. The way back was just as clean, this time over the Golden Gate Bridge. I had relatives with me and they couldn’t believe it; they said it drove smoother than any of us (thanks, Dad! … ). Most people just haven’t realized yet that this technology actually exists now, and you can get it on your own Tesla car. The moment it goes entirely unsupervised will be wild. Massive engineering push for a decade by the team. @aelluswamy

@DayTimeTiger117 @Israel2252 @GunnelsWarren 🤦Just read the full screenshot. He has paid back the loans and has also sold some services to the government.

@Israel2252 @GunnelsWarren No he didn't you liar, he repaid the $465m loan but hasn't come close to paying back the $38b

Dude, Tesla would have gone BANKRUPT without $456 million from the government.
SpaceX would have gone BANKRUPT without $1.6 billion from the government.
Elon Musk would be worth $0 without $38 billion from the government.
Elon isn’t exposing fraud. He’s committing fraud.

@DevonESawa But 15,343 Canadians died by euthanasia in 2023 with a much smaller population.

Not one person went bankrupt from medical bills in Canada last year.
320,000 did in America.
Think about that when you consider being the 51st state.

BREAKING: Trump just literally gave a speech at the US Department of justice and stated that CNN and MSNBC are “illegal”.
These are the words you’d hear from a fascist dictator. Imagine if Joe Biden went to the DOJ and declared that Fox News and Newsmax were illegal.
First, they attack the truth. Then, they attack those who tell it.

Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada: their closest partner and ally — their closest friend.
Canadians are reasonable, but we will not back down from a fight.
Not when our country is at stake.
