Something you should know about James is that he's constantly online projecting his failures onto others. The tells are the insults; he himself is "very online" yet criticizes others that way. He's sadistically cruel yet criticizes others for mean tone.
This 👇 is a confession.

@merelyjwright Congratulations you voted for the biggest con artist of all time

Your kids' school teaches trans ideology and white self-hatred in class.
My kids' school provides a recommended battle rifle and sidearm setup for male students over 12.
We are not the same.

Plus all the hullabaloo about kids NOt bEiNG sOCiaLiZEd EnOUgH does lead one to conclude the government school supporters all believe it's sole purpose is mere socialization.
Which it also fails at.

It's funny how people are so concerned that homeschoolers might not be doing enough "school", when the school system is graduating kids who can't read right in front of your faces & y'all don't have much to say about it.

@merelyjwright Yet you’re obviously addicted to this platform. You average 33 tweets per day, every day, for the past 6 years. Consider logging off.

@Just_A_Man67 @merelyjwright Nah bro, the point is that Jeff Weight, pastor of Midway Baptist Church in Cookeville TN, thinks it’s a-OK to call black people monkeys. He doesn’t think it’s racist. He makes that very clear.

@typhoon200 @merelyjwright Evil is binary, bad jokes/bad taste/bad manners/ bad behavior / bad form, all those are on a spectrum.
But the point is that that’s not what Trump did, it was an un edited screen recording of an election fraud video on X that went to another video before it was stopped…

Chase is right.
And how you interpret the evidence matters too. For example:
Post George Floyd: "God's Goal in Salvation is the Reunification of the Races."
That's Josh Howerton's understanding of the gospel.

Basic starting point for discernment: most evangelical pastors are functionally liberal until proven otherwise.

I asked my older children whether they thought being a PK was hard or harder than not. Responses varied between, "What?!" "Huh?!" and plain ole quizzical brows. One said, "Is it supposed to be? I don't understand."
English
Is this the right time to go ahead and say my children also aren't victims of their father's ministry, nor so they deserve a posture of pity?
Their life isn't harder BC they're PKs.

Amongst all this sabbati-drama this seems like the time to say pastor's wives aren't victims and shouldn't be treated as such. "I know being a pastor's wife is just so hard." Pish-posh! No. It isn't. Not when you're in a healthy church with a strong husband. It's a joy!

I move that @RonDeSantis be made Florida’s Governor for life.

@merelyjwright @briar62396 I’d love to see you drive down to Atlanta and call black people monkeys to their face. Do you think they would say you were racist?

Tried to stay out of the Sabbatical stuff because Garris, Moody, and others have handled it well.
This is Kofi, talking about my wife, who has been a pastor's wife for 20+ years & student minister's wife for 25.
Here's why evangelicals are so broken on this topic. Would appreciate you reading to the end of this
1. There is an entire industry of counselors, retreats, and writers whose entire job market is maintenanced by telling pastors & their wives how uniquely difficult they have it. It is a grift. I met it for the first time in the early 2000s at Timothy/Barnabus at FBC Woodstock and it has only compounded exponentially from there.
2. There is a kind of pastor who wants to be told how uniquely difficult they have it. It tickles their ears. It feels good to have someone say you're essentially a victim & care for you. In this way, it is similar to how wokeness had such rapid uptake among certain identity groups.
3. Too few pastors have ever worked other jobs. My dad was a farmer, mailman, and did A. I. One of my grandfathers raised pigs and cattle. The other raised tobacco. Both survived the great depression. When I was bi-vocational I worked at a trucking company & taught school. I also farm.
Pastors & families have unique challenges. So do fire chiefs. So do High School Principals. So do guys working the line at an autoparts factory.
I've got a young man at church. Recently married. Taking a full college class load. He works in a giant metal box with no substantial climate control. Part of the year it is freezing. Part of the year it is an unimaginable sweat box. I would collapse into shame if I'm ever in front of him saying, in effect, "I'm so pitiful because I have it so hard."
4. This softness, and that is what it is, is a major component of the feminization of the church that makes evangelicalism so ridiculous in the eyes of men and particularly young men. They know, in general, life is hard. And it is hard to respect another man who wallows in self pity.
5. This is a product of and aggravated by seminary culture. Too many go from High School to Bible School to Seminary to Church with no contact with the outside world. It is a sheltered world & existence that makes the grift sound credible when the real problems of ministry life shows up. It is also why seminary profs offer classes on pastoral ministry when they've never done it. The emblem of this is Curtis Woods, darling of Southern Seminary at one time, who takes a church in KY and crashes out within a year.
Summary: The therapuetic grift and disconnect from real life is where this mess comes from. But it wouldn't work if there wasn't an appetite for being coddled.
Finally? Twice in our time at our current church we've went through crushing difficulty. The most recent was last spring and has only recent mostly resolved. Seriously, crushing. But we aren't on here whining or looking for a Therapeutic Spa self-identifying as a conference or some other form of coddling. We have a good church and a great Lord. And we know every one doing meaningful work has difficulty in a fallen world. We aren't victims, we're merely servants doing what was expected of us.

@jaysonyork I know we are not betting men...but what's the over/under this is someone who isn't in vocational ministry?

@merelyjwright @matt_oSwell Jeff, any luck calling black people monkeys to their face? I’d love to see if they think you’re being racist.
English
@matt_oSwell He decided to apologize. For my part, I was glad to take it up face to face.
English
Hear me out: there are women of both genders within the evangelical therapeutic complex.
English
@merelyjwright Next time you see a black family in your town, you should call them monkeys and tell them it is not racist to do so. I’d love to hear what they say!
English
Mrs. Wright has offended the subscription base of The Soothing Therapuetic Pastor & Wives Industrial Complex.
The replies are wild and tell you the advanced degree to which the grift has worked.
It is wild.

@Just_A_Man67 @merelyjwright Pastor Jeff Wright of Midway Baptist Chuch in Cookeeville Tenneseee think it’s acceptable to call black people monkeys.
English
@typhoon200 @merelyjwright That was debunked a while ago… recommendation: get new material that actually isn’t debunked.
English
@merelyjwright So funny to compare black people to apes, right? I’d love to see you go up to a black men and call them apes, let’s see what happens.

Coach Tuberville is a gift from God. We need more men like him in the fight.

I don’t give a rip about being politically correct. Innocent Americans are being gunned down in the streets almost daily by Radical Islamists whose ‘religion’ teaches them it’s righteous to kill Christians. I won’t be silenced about this.

This type of Islamophobia is disgraceful and unbecoming of a senator. Delete it immediately and apologize.
English
@BMcGrewvy So funny to do this after launching missiles into a school packed with kids, almost like we’re being ruled by psychopaths
English
@DavidAFrench Islamic schools should be illegal. This is gas lighting in the highest order. Islam is not a religion so freedom of religion does not apply
English
If Texas is, in fact, discriminating against Muslim schools, then this is an easy, easy case. The state cannot discriminate against Islam or any other faith in providing state benefits, including vouchers.
Maria Kari@mariakari1414
BREAKING - Today, on behalf of 3 Islamic schools & affected parents, we sued Texas state officials for unlawfully refusing to approve otherwise qualified Islamic schools for participation in Texas's new education savings program. Not a *single* Islamic school in Texas has been approved to participate in the new program - despite thousands of private schools across the state being approved. Here is our press release.
