Mohammed: An angel told me I'm the new prophet of God. Joseph Smith: Me too! M: My followers copied my teachings, but the original version was destroyed. JS: Bro, same. M: I also found out polygamy is fine and the afterlife is full of sex. JS: You're not gonna believe this...

@lord_of_paradox @farmingandJesus We did the Lord’s Supper in our wedding too! Word of advice: give each other a small chunk of bread 😅 Congrats and enjoy!!

@farmingandJesus Weekly. I think it's a great blessing to partake weekly and I don't think I could ever return to a church that doesn't. My fiancee and I will be receiving the Lord's Supper as part of our wedding ceremony this Saturday.

Protestants: how often does your church partake in the Lord’s supper?

@farmingandJesus We’re part of a restoration church, we take communion weekly! I grew up southern baptist, and we would take communion on 5th Sundays.

@lymanstoneky He also didn’t merely define Himself by pronoun; He defined Himself in ~relationship~ to and with us. God the Father, Jesus the bridegroom of the church, etc

The category of gender identity does not apply to the Godhead; he is not male, not female, not nonbinary— the category simply does not obtain Yet grammatically he refers to himself with masculine pronouns, calls himself father Also, he was incarnated male

It’s important to realize the category of gender identity also does not obtain for humans. It’s actually just a sham category. You don’t actually have a gender. It’s not a thing. You have a sex, efforts to describe a separate notion of gender are category errors

@GODFOE_UNIVERSE @TheMiddleborne Such a good reminder that He did not merely choose a pronoun; He chose ~relationships~ to define Himself.

God calls Himself the Father. He came to us as the man Jesus Christ. He has chosen these titles for Himself. That is enough from a God we cannot possibly fully comprehend yet.

😂

Heaven never says, ‘Oops.’ Every single baby this world calls ‘unplanned’ is still intentionally created by God with dignity, value, and purpose.

Very cool research!

@MagpieReids @MrsGoresDiary There are these young men on YouTube who have a channel dedicated to “Brits try American foods”, may be able to give you some ideas!

Besides blueberry and apple pies (which are most definitely on my list for this summer), what are the most ‘Merican foods?! Sweet, savory, I don’t care. I think a good selection would fit nicely with @MrsGoresDiary’s 250th Advent idea! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@mom_of_littles Magnatiles, cars/monster trucks, foam sword(s), nerf gun. I don’t have a 5yo, but I’m coalescing my experiences I have with the 1y, 3y, and 36y men in my household 😆

What are some favorite gifts for a little boy turning 5?? I like to get things I know he likes, but I have a hard time thinking outside the box.

Never forget that you are the main data center. Drink water, and consume as much literature as possible.

Do people not know what that development of a recipe is not coming up with a new concept or inventing something, but just formulating and taste testing your own version of the thing to your own preferences or what seems to work best for your needs. Such as the getting specific amounts of the specific ingredients you want to use for your specific ice cream to work best with your specific ice cream maker.

Just to be clear, we hated Obama, Hillary, & Biden almost as much as you hate Trump, the difference is we didn't try to kill them because of it. Hope this helps. 💋✌🏻🇺🇸

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video. Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments. The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times. Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it. Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone. The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

This may be one of the greatest X things I've ever witnessed. No joke.

Barbara Walters writes: Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War. The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho LoPrison, the "Hanoi Hilton." Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk. In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton. From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . The first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper. She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper... Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day. I was a civilian economic development adviser in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals." When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient." Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane. I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me. These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots. There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget. See less
