Eyes Upward

@ProfRobAnderson Filtered H2O leads to dehydration so people drink more of it? Most of us should be drinking a tsp of quality salt per 1/2 gallon of water. Water can’t enter your cells w/o salt. You can nurse a Stanley all day & still be dehydrated. We’ve been drinking h20 w/o minerals for 25yrs!

Was there some kind of dramatic discovery of new benefits of hydration in the last ten years? We never carried water bottles around all the time until recently and nobody I know of shriveled up and died of dehydration in all those years.

@TiffaniMarie483 I think regional, chronic, & generational nutrition deficiencies are much more to blame than we know. Read about idodine, niacin, magnesium, aminos etc & you’ll realize how much could be reversed or relieved by our bodies getting what they need. The GAPS book is a good overview.

Watching a documentary on a child sociopath and it has me wondering if some children are actually born that way or if there must be trauma involved. Is sociopathy genetic? Can it be cured? And how can someone born with such a mental disorder get to heaven?

@meltzer_ben @CinemaShogun I agree w/ you. I don’t know that something else isn’t going on, but she regularly doesn’t announce it when she isn’t going to be on air, or says she is when she isn’t. Once while signing off she said she’d see us Monday & we see & hear her realize her mistake w/o time to fix it.

@CinemaShogun She typically does episodes solo and makes a closing announcement of "See you again _____" at the end. The episode prior to the one she didn't do today was an interview with no sign off – just a hard out with no remarks to the audience. That is why there was no announcement.

I’ve watched every episode of Candace Owens show ever since Charlie Kirk was killed. She’s has taken plenty of breaks and days off. But she always gives her fans a heads up. Sometimes days or weeks in advance. She didn’t just accidentally forget that she was leaving the country with her family. She was just on her usual spree of attacking Erika Kirk just yesterday with no mention of leaving the entire country and not doing a show. And this comes at a very interesting time. Something is going on. IT’S WEIRD !!! The vibes aren’t vibing. I don’t know know but I know.

@dissidentwest @fisherman007ho1 Serious advice? Don’t tell them. Or as the Orthodox say, “Aquire the peace of the Holy Spirit & thousands around you will be saved.” (This takes time & struggle.) And not just bc they’ll be drawn to your newfound peace but bc spiritual health like spiritual illness is contagious.

@lIrey202012 @FChristopher77 @BasedSolutions1 No one prays for you? You don’t pray for anyone? How very sad. I know my children feel such a sense of peace by the constant prayers of their mother and father.

@FChristopher77 @BasedSolutions1 I am not being mean but no one can pray for you. We no longer live under the law of the Old Testament but under Grace.

Saint Great Marthyr George pray to God for us!

@BenSwann_ They whipped up a fake look alike body within what, minutes of a reported high profile suicide? I know the government educated most of us- but just how dumb do they think they made us?

Epstein’s cell has been described as a “forensic disaster”, with items removed before photos were taken, and Epstein’s body moved before an on-scene review. But it gets WAY weirder. The files also reveal a fake body was created for the cameras the day he died, with his real body secretly moved out the back of the prison. Why? Well according to the FBI memo: “…in order to deceive the media, who were looking to get video of Epstein’s body.” But why would you need to deceive the media? And why a fake body? None of this makes any sense…

@Favouriteuncle_ @Fatherspyridon I read it 4-5 years ago. Completely different interested in the subject I read it on a whim. I loved it and recommend it all the time. Weirdly, a few days later a friend, newly baptized, was in my car & brought up aliens. Had I not read that book I couldn’t have shared the ☦️view

@Fatherspyridon Just about to buy your book. Ufo deception

@BlessedMom_7 @RealCandaceO Yikes, AI is better at his voice than his image.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: The president of Turning Point’s University of Georgia chapter will be resigning later this evening due to the internal treatment and subsequent public lies told by Turning Point executives surrounding Erika Kirk’s last minute cancellation of the event w/ Vice President JD Vance. In short, the excuse peddled by their Public Relations team was pure fiction (as we all suspected) No, the Left was NOT buying up tons of reservations, as told by Andrew Kolvet. To the contrary, the team knew weeks before that there was little interest in the event for a variety of reasons, and Erika’s safety was NEVER an issue. Beyond this, the questions at the event were entirely faked. Erika, as we reported, was already in Georgia. Now both the secret service AND the UGA chapter President is claiming that Turning Point not only lied, but rather extraordinarily blamed the public because Erika didn’t want hit the stage. More to follow…

@AceLT8 @RealCandaceO Is it ever a mistake to let someone talk & let the audience decide? FWIW- I stomached it for 15 minutes before I couldn’t anymore. Victor is insanely creepy but this guy gave off a little ick too.

@RealCandaceO That was a mistake Candice. He is weirder than Victor. Looked like he was stoned to and his story should have had him walking away after the first encounter. I am sorry, but this interview was a turd in the pinch bowl.

Today on the show: I sit down with Corby Hall, the man who claims that “Pastor” Victor Marx wanted him to send 50,000 guns for IDF operations in Gaza, and Lebanon. The story he tells is shocking. Join us below: youtu.be/-9MOUvgGyi4

@acottagemouse @helenamomof7 We started her on raw A2A2 (before we suspected a diary issue) because we assumed it would be easiest on her system. It did not go well! Subsequent tries were also a bust. It will work out, there are much worse things. :)

@CountingTh84404 @helenamomof7 My mom has severe ulcerative colitis, I know it’s not the same, but for some reason UC is different for everyone who has it, for some raw milk puts it in remission, if my mom has a drop of raw dairy it could kill her (we tried once). No great answers & hard to navigate :(

There are vast oceans of developmental differences in the younger years. Mere months mean a completely different child. People’s perception of age in the baby/toddler years is so off though, is it an 18 month old or a 3 year old? Is that a baby or a kid?

@BLeBlan68656830 @Deth2Compromise @AppyOrtho Calling 300,000,000 Orthodox Catholic Christians living around the globe “eastern rite” because of the practice of 2,000 WR’s is like Protestants calling the Orthodox Church a denomination. They subtly validate their fringe movements by downgrading the original as the same. Imho.

@BLeBlan68656830 @Deth2Compromise @AppyOrtho Do people think in terms of “eastern rite”? I hear that used lately & don’t get it. There’s like 20 WR parishes. That’s a rite, but the rest of the church? We aren’t a rite, are we? We just are what we are & always have been. I prefer our formal name- The Orthodox Catholic Church

We cannot LARP as Eastern, we must reclaim the faith fully as Western Orthodoxy, Celtic Orthodoxy, American Orthodoxy, Southern Orthodoxy etc. Going to a Russian or Greek church must be seen as the first step in a series of steps.

@MikeBar98736393 @JenniferJo74351 @Aku_700 This is why I used the word rare. It is a flawed agency, no doubt, but they cases like this is what they were created for & if removal was rare, the most at risk in their home would be far less vulnerable in their placements.

@CountingTh84404 @JenniferJo74351 @Aku_700 CPS= child trafficker

Indiana mom of 7 accused of offering her 7-month-old daughter for s*x to a man on Snapchat in exchange for $400 32-year-old Morgan Stapp denied sending the message, but police said it was sent from her phone at her home Stapp reportedly sent three photos of her infant daughter with the message, “U can f*** her for 400$. Half now rest after. I’ll send my address. I do live alone, and her dad is not in the picture.” Snapchat flagged the message to authorities. Ten days later, FBI agents arrived at her home She was booked into Marion County Jail on July 8, held on $100,000 bail

@JenniferJo74351 @Aku_700 What if she met that baby’s dad the same way. No. This is one of those rare cases where they should all be immediately removed into the best foster home known to local CPS workers until the case can be thoroughly investigated and the children’s safety w/ related adults confirmed.

@Aku_700 She should be forced to be sterilized. She should never be allowed to be alone with another child unsupervised. That baby's daddy should immediately get full custody.

@maksimologija I know several parishes where the only space they have large enough for catechism is in the nave. That would be my guess. If they were intended to be used during the Liturgy they would likely have chosen an Orthodox Bible organized by the church calendar.

@maksimologija To be charitable, perhaps they host their catechism or other Bible studies in the same space and they are not intended for worship. Perhaps it gives visitors something assuring to read (okay, they do read the Bible ;) when the service is over their head.

Why would anyone need an "Orthodox Study Bible" during the Divine Liturgy? Do they want to read the marginal notes during the Epiclesis? Honestly, I really don't understand why people who so clearly want to be Protestants insist on infiltrating the Orthodox Church.

@BLeBlan68656830 @Deth2Compromise @AppyOrtho Thank you for taking the time to respond :)

@CountingTh84404 @Deth2Compromise @AppyOrtho Technically, it isn't a "new" rite. It is a rite that fell out of use over time after the Schism. And the Bishops of some jurisdictions approved reinstitution.

@BLeBlan68656830 @Deth2Compromise @AppyOrtho I won’t argue this, or I’d show my ignorance, but from what I’ve seen & heard I don’t think anything exactly like it has existed before. It seems to be influenced by several sources. More recreation than continuation. I’ve got questions, haha, but this probably isn’t the thread.

@BLeBlan68656830 @Deth2Compromise @AppyOrtho Maybe so. I’m in a town with both and only the people at the WR church say “eastern rite” & only within the last 6 yrs or so. I’ve seen cradle orthodox befuddled when asked if they were Easter Rite, by western parishioners lol. They’d never heard of rites in the church.

@CountingTh84404 @Deth2Compromise @AppyOrtho I mean, only in countries where both exist. US and UK, primarily, I believe.
