@disclosetv disgraceful

NOW - Dame Sarah Mullally is officially "enthroned" as the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England, becoming the first woman to take the role in 1,400 years.

had a dream last nite that the bull run was nearly over. today is confirmation of that.

Hail to you, O Virgin, the right and true Queen. Hail to the pride of our race, who bore to us Immanuel. We ask you to remember us, O our faithful advocate, before our Lord Jesus Christ, that He may forgive us our sins.

@redeemed_zoomer mainlines can't even partake in shared communion because they all believe different things about communion

I believe Mainline Protestantism (a formal global communion of over 300 Million Christians) is the true Church, properly speaking, and that all other Christians are separated brethren

@CharlesTingler Coptic Orthodoxy is such a beautiful tradition. i will also most likely be baptized and chrismated into the Church later this year.

@WWUTTcom literally no different than restorationism

I admit Reformed Protestantism as an event in history was a recovery of Apostolic Christianity as it is given in Scripture. I also admit Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy are a corruption of Apostolic Christianity and are more pagan than biblical.

@manofsteeele welcome to Anglicanism

They should invent a denominational non-denominationalism. Like a church where a committed Lutheran and a committed Roman catholic both go to church somehow and the pastor is a Baptist.

Statement from H.H. Pope Shenouda III Purgatory is rejected because it contradicts the atonement and redemption accomplished by Jesus Christ. If the blood of Christ cleanses from all sin and saves completely, then post death suffering to satisfy divine justice implies His sacrifice was insufficient. Human suffering cannot complete what Christ has already finished on the cross. Purgatory is rejected because it contradicts the Gospel. Salvation proclaimed as good news loses its meaning if believers must still fear torment after death. Scripture calls the faithful to hope, assurance, and the desire to depart and be with Christ, not anxiety over post death punishment. Purgatory is rejected because it contradicts divine justice. Christ paid the full price for sin once. Purgatory requires payment twice. It also punishes the soul while the body rests in the grave, which is unjust since both participated in sin. It further creates an unresolved contradiction regarding the reunion of a supposedly purified soul with an unpurified body at the resurrection. Purgatory is rejected because it contradicts divine mercy. Purification is an act of grace through repentance and the work of the Holy Spirit in this life, not punishment by fire after death. Scripture speaks of cleansing by mercy, forgiveness, and renewal, not torment. Purgatory is rejected because it contradicts God’s promises. God forgives sins fully and remembers them no more. Purgatory implies forgiven sins are still remembered and punished. Purgatory is rejected because it lacks scriptural foundation and conflicts with Scripture. The faithful are shown entering comfort with God immediately, Scripture teaches only one general judgment on the Last Day, and no biblical text establishes a third state of purifying punishment after death.

inquiring into Coptic Orthodoxy. please pray for me.

@CBSNews well well well

BREAKING: The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.

@therealjayber what's wrong w this build

It's crazy how normalized and even glorified this physique is in America (and how we guys are constantly gaslit that this is how "real" women look like). I never realized how warped and surreal all that is until l came to Europe and saw that EVERY girl on the street is fit and slim. It's like American broads are a different species of females altogether.

@Protestia these "prophets" never repent when they're wrong either.

"Lord, I decree with my prophetic tongue today, that you protect the president of this nation.The enemy will not come near." 'Prophet' David Owuor prays over Prez. Nicolás Maduro and prophesies that nothing would happen to him. Weeks later, Maduro was captured by U.S. forces.

@Ric_RTP nice copy pasta

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." This is about the petrodollar system that has kept America the dominant economic power for 50 years. And Venezuela just threatened to end it. Here's what really just happened: Venezuela has 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. The largest on Earth. More than Saudi Arabia. 20% of the entire world's oil. But here's the part that matters: Venezuela was actively selling that oil in Chinese yuan. Not dollars. In 2018, Venezuela announced it would "free itself from the dollar." They started accepting yuan, euros, rubles, anything BUT dollars for oil. They were petitioning to join BRICS. They were building direct payment channels with China that bypass SWIFT entirely. And they were sitting on enough oil to fund de-dollarization for decades. Why does this matter? Because the entire American financial system is built on one thing: The petrodollar. In 1974, Henry Kissinger made a deal with Saudi Arabia: All oil sold globally must be priced in US dollars. In exchange, America provides military protection. This single agreement created artificial demand for dollars worldwide. Every country on Earth needs dollars to buy oil. This lets America print unlimited money while other countries work for it. It funds the military. The welfare state. The deficit spending. The petrodollar is more important to US hegemony than aircraft carriers. And there's a pattern of what happens to leaders who challenge it: 2000: Saddam Hussein announces Iraq will sell oil in euros instead of dollars. 2003: Invaded. Regime change. Iraq's oil immediately switched back to dollars. Saddam lynched. The WMDs were never found because they never existed. 2009: Gaddafi proposes a gold-backed African currency called the "gold dinar" for oil trade. Hillary Clinton's own leaked emails confirm this was the PRIMARY reason for intervention. Email quote: "This gold was intended to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar." 2011: NATO bombs Libya. Gaddafi sodomized and murdered. Libya now has open slave markets. "We came, we saw, he died!" Clinton laughed on camera. The gold dinar died with him. And now Maduro. With FIVE TIMES more oil than Saddam and Gaddafi combined. Actively selling in yuan. Building payment systems outside dollar control. Petitioning to join BRICS. Partnered with China, Russia, and Iran. The three countries leading global de-dollarization. This isn't coincidence. Challenge the petrodollar. Get regime changed. Every. Single. Time. Stephen Miller (US homeland security advisor) literally said it out loud two weeks ago: "American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property." He's not hiding it. They're claiming Venezuelan oil BELONGS to America because US companies developed it 100 years ago. By this logic, every nationalized resource in history was "theft." But here's the DEEPER problem: The petrodollar is already dying. Russia sells oil in rubles and yuan since Ukraine. Saudi Arabia is openly discussing yuan settlements. Iran has been trading in non-dollar currencies for years. China built CIPS, their own alternative to SWIFT with 4,800 banks in 185 countries. BRICS is actively building payment systems that bypass the dollar entirely. The mBridge project lets central banks settle trades instantly in local currencies. Venezuela joining BRICS with 303 billion barrels of oil would accelerate this exponentially. That's what this invasion is really about. Not stopping drugs. Venezuela accounts for less than 1% of US cocaine. Not terrorism. There's zero evidence Maduro runs a "terror organization." Not democracy. The US supports Saudi Arabia, which has zero elections. This is about maintaining a 50-year-old agreement that lets America print money while the world works for it. And the consequences are terrifying: Russia, China, and Iran are already denouncing this as "armed aggression." China is Venezuela's biggest oil customer. They're losing billions. BRICS nations are watching a country get invaded for trading outside the dollar. Every nation considering de-dollarization just got the message: Challenge the dollar and we will bomb you. But here's the problem... That message might accelerate de-dollarization, not stop it. Because now every country in the Global South knows what happens if you threaten dollar hegemony. And they're realizing the only protection is to move FASTER. The timing is insane too: January 3rd, 2026. Venezuela invaded. Maduro captured. January 3rd, 1990. Panama invaded. Noriega captured. 36 years apart. Almost to the day. Same playbook. Same "drug trafficking" excuse. Same real reason: control of strategic resources and trade routes. History doesn't repeat. But it rhymes. What happens next: Trump's press conference at Mar-a-Lago sets the narrative. US oil companies are already lined up. Politico reported they've been approached about "returning to Venezuela." The opposition will be installed. Oil will flow in dollars again. Venezuela becomes another Iraq. Another Libya. But here's what nobody's asking: What happens when you can no longer bomb your way to dollar dominance? When China has enough economic leverage to retaliate? When BRICS controls 40% of global GDP and says "no more dollars"? When the world realizes the petrodollar is maintained by violence? America just showed its hand. The question is whether the rest of the world folds or calls the bluff. Because this invasion is an admission that the dollar can no longer compete on its own merits. When you have to bomb countries to keep them using your currency, the currency is already dying. Venezuela isn't the beginning. It's the desperate end. What do you think?

no gooning 2026.

men, 2026 is the time to get our shit together. the modern world has made human slop of us. fertility rates are down 62%. metabolic disease afflicts 35%. obesity has hit 40%.  63% are not having sex weekly. testosterone is dropping 1% every year. 42% over forty have erectile dysfunction. sexlessness has doubled to 24%. enough. fucking enough. reject fast food, junk food, vaping, gambling, porn, nicotine, sleep deprivation, phone addiction, and excessive scrolling. these are your enemies. this is dopamine extraction. they are mining you for profit and leaving you weak and miserable. they are predators and you are their prey. no, not just this once. no, not in moderation. no, it’s not living life. it’s suicidal and deranged behavior. sleep. get jacked. eat well. set limits. be consistent. build the schedule. put on autopilot. don’t let your mind rationalize. replace inner weakness with systems strength. don’t listen to other people’s criticisms. they’re projecting their own stuff onto you. straighten up. let it roll off of you.  be great. be unabashedily you. maintain friendships with those who make you better. who inspires you to be your best self. do not continue to hang out with people who encourage debauchery. maintain good posture. stand tall. get up from your desk and walk around, stretch, do light exercises. do these things to reclaim your self respect. be a sovereign person. do not be owned by evil companies or influence. do not listen to the critics. build your life systems. make them habits. don’t let yourself talk you out of it. as you gain strength, it will require less energy to maintain.

@jaderants rub silver gel on the site a few times a day until the bruising disappears

i got my stitches taken out today but sadly i’m not healing well and it’s still bruised :( i’m worried it might be infected

Still can’t believe the leader of the German far-right party is a lesbian who is in love with an Indian migrant.

Sex is too pure, vulnerable, passionate, beautiful and extremely too intimate to share with someone outside the covenant of marriage!

@naturallyneve tell him earlier and you won't waste that many days on him.

How to lose a guy in 10 days: Tell him you won’t sleep with him, you want a man of God and are waiting till marriage. Most will run. But the right one will stay and thank God for finally answering his prayers.
