No or Yes

Well, I was trying to be playful with it and not actually go for the jugular or anything, just so you know! I got a little carried away painting a comic picture, and the embellishment was for the sake of my verbal roll and not for how intensely I intended to insult or harm (nothing beyond the bounds of horseplay was intended, but i suppose i got carried away and i'm sorry).

The truth is, I don't react much at all to "the message", because it's all encoded and obfuscated and your "transmission" of it seems more like a self-directed meditative practice or something. Insofar as it is about love, I am absolutely in favor of it, and I acknowledge I do pick up some good vibes from you so there is something there working. But are you really preaching, Gwaihir, or do you usually merely strike a pose?

back to my intent before, though, and it's not about left-handedness -- I think by retreating into small cul-de-sacs of ritualistic behavior and constant invocation of arcane old field-peasant ergot chants and obscure biblical terminology that connote pedophile cannibal ancestors and look a little like an attempt to inflict terror is intrinsically divisive. I think it is really strange to come at me for being "divisive" when I'm reaching out to you over and over in interest and jousting. Am I really so divisive?

Well, maybe I came off a little harsher than intended in the last message, but I really just felt like painting a comical picture about the obscurity of the proper nouns you use and the apparent mania behind them. I am sorry about the nastiness that can be read in there. I don't think I intended it at the time, fwiw. Your wife is pretty, looks unpretentious & confident btw and I was a little mad at the other forum posters' trolls about that, but they will never know a good woman unless they catch one on her painted up day. I really am interested in your journey and well-being, and I mean that. sorry if I get carried away again in the future too -_- i am usually clutching myself giggling spastically irl while i write it in a very embarrassing ordeal fwiw.

But, again, I say I am far from a divisive type person. my big weakness is wanting to relate to people even beyond what is good for me. that said, you are not a venomous person even after i've teased you a bunch and so i don't think this is such a case. but our clear differences in approach and my effort to engage form an example of how I really am interested in knowing people of all types.

Divisive, me? I am teasing you about your consideration of removing your children from the public sphere because of political messaging and how anxious we all are being made, perhaps primarily not through our own fault but by repugnant overlords. You may not be "the divider", but how could such an action, a retreat inward, be anything but to succumb to divisiveness and so join it? Isn't the man who leaves his community because he has lost his tolerance for the faults of the many, and perhaps lost tolerance too for some of their virtues, the man engaged in division?

I appreciate that you are horrified in looking at the world culture, and I think that is a reasonable feeling. I also think a lack of appreciation for things spiritual and ritual and truly big does play into the psychological maladies of our collective. But I am not sure your communication is intended to interest people from over the fence into spiritual practice at all -- in fact, it looks a little hostile to me the way you do it, like seeing in sun and safety foreboding gang tags with the names of groups you vaguely recognize, which might become more important when night falls. And even more pertinently, I beg you not to take your children from the civic sphere, the ordeal of public schooling which is their only uncontrolled congregation with members of their community, one of the very last tortures which molds civilian Americans together in a collective suffering and training, forces them to relate to people they'd rather never deign to meet -- or suffer the anxiety to face -- and forces them to face the standards of the culture in some way, however misbegotten those may be. Don't wall your kids in, man. THAT's division and it'll stunt them.

Having said all that, I reiterate my call to humility! You profess to know Christ don't you? (I'm truly not quite sure, but I also haven't googled ur posts as much as I could. BUT how could you expect readers to be more diligent even than I have been with you, confronted with such impenetrable obscura and apparent right-signalling? It must incense me, you calling me divisive!!)

And, feeling strongly about this and your stewardship of kids -- perhaps this is how I got carried away in my mockery earlier [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] but keep poasting with me, i swear i am ur pal. you'res truly.

If you carefully study the historicity of the evolution of Christianity and it's antithesis in modern Talmudism, you'll note that the primary rift between Christianity and Talmudism is not the existence of Jesus, rather the abandonment of the Law (Torah) intrinsic to the doctrine of salvation by grace alone.

At its root, is the concept of dominion at the dividing of nations detailed in the Babel myth; a reality inverted and reflected in the myths coming out of Babylon post-hoc. If you read the Bible carefully, reconciled to what was removed between the Septuagint and the Masoretic Text you'll note that the seventy (69 archons + Yahweh reserving Eber's lot as his own) tasked with dominion over the nation's at separation, define the purpose of the Christ as a reunifying agent responsible for seeing a reclamation of all nations divided previously, and precluded from union by the smattering of language.

When Jesus encounters Legion it's important to note this is a symbolic act of demonstrating his dominion over all nations: as Jews did not raise swine as livestock, so when Christ dispossessed Legion into the swathe of swine sending them maddeningly running headlong into the Sea, he is demonstrating that even in a land under the dominion of another "god" (Archon) his primacy is inarguable.

We are, at this point, at the precipice of an Epic Jubilee. For there is no 0 AD, and 1 AD began at the birth of the Christ. If you understand the concept of the Jubilee (a year of release) on the 7th year, we can extrapolate the epoch of the Epic Jubilee as:
7x7x7x6 (-33 in which Christ lived as a man) +1 year accounted for a lack of the year 0AD

This constitutes the defining moment of the Great tribulation as the final septant-year preceding the approach of the Epic Jubilee as 7x7x7x6-33+1-7

=2019

And as for the concept of withdrawing, it's important to note that reconciled to Torah, and reflected in Essenian interpretation, we as Christians AND as Jews are responsible for separating ourselves from Idolatry and sinful living. If I am to subject my children to godless learning, I am, by reflection of the law, casting my children to the wolves merely hoping they are not devoured in the abject depravity of a godless way of life; and doing my children a disservice because of the expediency of simply not wanting to do the work myself.

Mind you, when I went to college to learn Biology and Chemistry it was, with earnest, to become a teacher; that was my original aim. I missed that aim, and perhaps for good reason, as there is not much room in secular education for a person of my disposition.

In sum, we do not "earn" salvation by works (Truly), but that does not mean we cast aside obedience to the Lord's will, for in that obedience we find the mechanics by which we transform "distance" into reunion. Gravity, while being the weakest of the 4 primary "forces" in Christ's uni-verse, is also the only force that cannot be overcome by distance, and is reflective of God's most powerful, yet most subtle Love.

Sin---------------\|/---------Obedience
----------------Gravity----------------------
Distance------/|\----------Reunion/Redemption

I mean, look at that jackass Byue. Joins the conversation butthole first straight out of Canada with his "anthropology" degree. Completely oblivious to social cues and his audience. Intellectually, completely outmatched: thinks he can "win" a conflict with "argumentation" while just parroting shit. That's the product of a college education nowadays. Certified stupid; it even says it right here on this paper they gave me.

How to excel at the collegiate level:

Be able to write cogently and consicely.

Assess the ideological disposition of your professor.

Feign writing from the ideological perspective that your professor wants you to be indoctrinated into.

And that's it. That's why all social sciences are a fucking joke. I got the sociological department's student of the year accolades in my sophomore year, and I don't believe it's a science. Pretty telling on how much of an anti-intellectual circle jerk it is. See: the Social affair

In the past, I've made a point to deliberately present an opposing view that respectfully acknowledges the professor's viewpoint. This gets you critical thinking skills bonus points, which is what college SHOULD be about entirely. My vegan, yoga-teaching English professor loved my critical take on Skinny Bitch (anti-dairy, vegan author) and read it to the class. In my conflict mediation class, I completely bashed the book Getting to Yes, the seminal text for the field of mediation. Teacher loved it.

I got the same (bad) advice from my mom and grandmother. I don't parrot ideas for the sake of manipulation, even if it costs me. I'm perfectly good at manipulation in other ways. Too many fucking yes men. Stand out is my advice.

Do that as a straight while male not playing dress-up and the red pen of "fallacy" comes out. I seen't it firsthand. If you shroud yourself in "victimhood" you can go another way with it, as long as you don't outright oppose the indoctrination efforts.

These browns, queers, and other godless muslims can't know the struggles you've faced as a white hetero male.

The great awakening is coming! WWG1WGA.

Listen here buddy, this is the thread for rightwing nutjobs to jerk each other off.

[Cecily]

Yes. I think you're expressing your own perfectly valid feelings of victimhood, as a demographic who feels targeted these days.

Do you think this thread can function without Baler yelling at everyone who messes up the format?

No, I am agnostic with regard to baker’s actions.

Do you feel that today is most certainly better than yesterday and in all likelihood exceptionally inferior to tomorrow?

No.

Do you care about your body and the world its connected with and sustained by?
