That wonderful ranting Pastor in Canada said he wasn’t sure what the following day would bring … the day after he called those armed thugs (cops) all kinds of colorful names. Well, they closed his church. THEY have the laws, the judges, the men with guns … and a cowardly population which meekly takes it up the ass. Blessed are the meek, right?
Yes, I am referring to you Christians. You Bible Thumpers who TALK a good game … but, got no game at all. Where the fuck are all of you while they are cancelling God?? The first century Christian martyrs would rather die than submit to anything Rome told them to do which violated their beliefs, no matter how seemingly inconsequential . Christians today are willing to die for …. nothing, nothing at all.
You should be leading the charge against the State, not submitting to it. You have a greater duty than the rest of the population. But, nay, you’re sitting on your fat asses talking talking talking talking endlessly how everyone else should follow Christ.
Just shut the hell up! How about you take up the cross, turn over some tables, and slice off some ears?? Maybe then heathens like me will listen to what you have to say.
==================================== =
Worse Than Shutting Down Churches, Relentless Gov’t Attempts To Shut Down Belief in God Almighty
A sorrowful, heart-rending time in Canada for People of Faith as churches are shut down during Easter and the 8-day Easter Octave.
First came the police invasion of Pastor Artur Pawlowski’s Street Church during Easter Saturday Service. Courageous Pawlowski, who fled to Canada from Communism wasn’t having any of it and ordered them out, shouting “Get Out, Nazis!” “Get out!” “Get out!” to their fleeing backs.
“Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s ‘henchpeople’—including local health officials, City of Calgary Bylaw Services, and police have been dogging Pawlowski ever since he started his good works to feed Calgary’s many homeless. (Canada Free Press, April 5, 2021)
“Last April “Social Distancing” police fined him $1.2K for feeding the city’s hungry homeless.”
“I have seen the power of unified Poland during the Solidarity and I have seen what we can do as people if we will only unite,” Pawlowski encouraged the crowd. The preacher who escaped communism and made his home in Canada detailed his oppressive life under the Soviet communists in Poland and warned that Canada is rapidly turning into a communist state.”
Days later it was the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) walling off GraceLife Church, also in Alberta.
Both disturbing events went viral on the Internet, and both are gaining coverage in the mainstream media of the country next door.
Mercifully so when one considers that the Canadian media is, by and large, ignoring this chilling trend.
Moving on a tip from an anonymous police officer who disagreed with yesterday’s walling off of GraceLife Church, plucky Rebel Media videotaped the entire scene.
Hard to believe that this is happening in Canada.
Or is it?
“The plight facing Pastor James Coates sounds like something out of almost any other country other than a supposedly free one, like Canada. Pastor Coates, of the GraceLife Church in Alberta, was recently jailed for a little over a month for violating the Public Health Act because he dared to hold church services. While he was recently released, that’s not the end of the troubles facing him or his church. (Town Hall, April 7, 2021)
“An update list regarding Coates was published by Church Leaders, including to do with his release on March 22. While Tré Goins-Phillips of Faithwire reported that Coates was released after the Alberta government dropped the criminal charges, he also noted that the pastor “is, though, still facing financial charges for violating health orders.”
“On top of that, the government is trying to delay what would have been his May 3 trial, according to Rebel News. While that’s outraged Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, they also also took issue with how the Alberta government erected a wall against the church. Both concerns are laid out in a press release, “Alberta government seeks to delay May 3 trial of Pastor Coates and barricades Church.”
“What video and photo footage we have is otherworldly, especially when it comes to the details we have, such as how the Royal Canadian Mounted Police assisted in walling off the place.
You’d never know that this was a house of worship. What comes to mind is more like a closed down restaurant, or something nefarious that needs to be hidden from society, like an abortion facility or a strip club.”
In the midst of this darkness comes light in the words of Father Sergio Muñoz Fita, pastor of St. Anne Roman Catholic Parish in Gilbert, Arizona, at last Thursday’s Mass of the Lord’s Supper:
(The video is cued up to Father’s homily.)
There’s a missing-the-elephant-in-the room angle to the Pastor Pawlowski and Pastor Coates stories:Even worse than shutting churches down, are the relentless attempts by governments and their bureaucrats to shut down belief in God Almighty among the faithful.
Marxist governments now running so many of our Western countries hate The Creator, and in order to succeed at cowing the masses, must kill off all belief in Him.
Down through the ages, we’ve been there before, but surely nothing quite like this. In bygone eras they had King Herod, whose brutal rule mercifully came to an end with the death of his evil son, Herod Archelaus.
Today there are too many latter day Herods in public office to count.
Meanwhile, the Herods of our day can starve our bodies while dispiriting the masses they were elected to serve with the spread of Marxist misery.
Don’t let them kill off your immortal soul.
If you can’t pray at church, you can certainly pray from the peace of your own home.
There are too many private homes for all the King Herods and their bureaucrats to shut down Private Prayer.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
That’s what happens when your country doesn’t have one of those annoying and inconvenient Bill of Rights things we Americans have. That doesn’t mean our politicians are big fans of it though. For some unknown reason, they keep trying to get rid of it. They probably hope to make us more like Canada, or Europe, or Venezuela, and North Korea. Your quote from JFK, it seems that they want to prevent either scenario from occurring.
Well we have the Charter of Rights here in canukistan. But our Supreme court ruled its means nothing… quite literally. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of speech so we have tribunals of communists who decide what speech is acceptable and what punishments should be doled out against those conservative christians who’d dare use pronouns not acceptable to communist meanings.
Canadian author Michael D. O’Brien began writing books about looming Canadian persecution and the NWO a couple of decades ago and they have all been borne out. His “Father Elijah” books are quite good. Elijah is a former Israeli military man who converts to Catholicism and is like the Pope’s (St. John Paul II) James Bond. Good stuff.
I have one of the Fr. Elijah books. It was pretty good. I didn’t know there was more….
I’ll have to look it up.
Wow, color me surprised!! A Pakistani Muslim Mayor shutting down Catholic churches in Canada. Who could have seen that one coming?
” Maybe then heathens like me will listen to what you have to say.”
Then why do you always quote the bible and talk about jesus when I said that christianity was suicidal for our people? How you struggle to turn the other cheek? Christians have proven their complete and utter failure in the last year (or the complete victory of their anti-life views).
Are you schizophrenic or have some split personality or something?
One of my Many Responsibilities here is to stimulate discussion.
In closing … blow me.
Your prominence here is the only reason I won’t donate. Consider yourself blown.
Then why don’t you entirely fuck off from TBP, you fucking parasite? No one is begging for you to hang around. You are not a pimple on Stuck’s ass. I am sure Admin will somehow figure out how to survive without the dime you can afford to send from the depths of your shithole in your mom’s basement.
Thank you, Chief.
I am pretty discouraged, really, by the 11 thumbs up he got. If I really am the cause for 11 people (that I know of) not donating to this web site, then I really ought to evaluate if my time here has reached the end of usefulness. I do not want to be the cause of TBP’s demise.
Poor me poor me, always the victim. Just like clockwork your groupies come to the rescue.
Take the lump Stuck. You have tons more fans than he has snark.
Take heart. Here’s some cheerful news: Prince Phillip is still dead.
Stuck – your fans are legion. I am dismayed a bit at times, too. But the real TBPers are not sycophants of that asshole.
You know that thumbs can be gamed, right? I can give you a quick bunch up, if that would help you feel a bit better.
Whatever happens, do not abandon this ship. Waves of assholes come and go, the ship abides.
The dude abides…as do the Stuckmeister…
illigitimatum non carborunum, amigo.
Three Biblical principles come to mind regarding your question Stucky.
1. Jesus when answering Pilate said, “My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.”
And
2. We wrestle not with flesh and blood. Eph.6
3. The apostles and many early church believers were killed for their faith. They did not fight their oppressors with material tools of warfare. They fought in the spirit through prayer and supplications.
This does not mean Christians can not defend themselves from an aggressor. Nor does it mean they can not go to war if called by their country. But, what it does mean is that Christians are not called by God to do violence against those who would come against our faith.
What is happening now will not be fixed by violence. In fact, this is why Rev.13:9,10 says “If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”
It is a spiritual problem. Not a natural one. These people who are trying to force the world into submission to them are demon possessed or worse. Their end will come but is not yet.
And I think you do a great job at stimulating discussion. And as such are a much needed oracle here at TBP. God bless you.
Thank you, kindly!
I have been thinking about what you said all day yesterday —> “What is happening now will not be fixed by violence. “ I even quoted you in Admin’s current magnum opus. There is much wisdom in your words. I wish I could totally believe it. Maybe … someday …. who knows? The Lord works in mysterious ways.

To LLPOH ….. I hope you don’t waste your time responding to AWB below. He’s simply not worth it. Let his inane “observations” be like Whale-Farts to you … appearing for a few seconds, then bubbling up and exploding into nothingness a moment later, forever irrelevant and forgotten.
To stimulate thinking is an admirable goal and it is my contention thinking is a verbal process. Few seem capable of thinking internally, they need a foil in order to fully develop their ideas. My processing of this Coronavirus/church began in earnest last spring within weeks of the shutdown, it didn’t seem rational and certainly not scientific™.
At the time I couldn’t articulate things well but the “aha” moment occurred fairly soon. There was a lockdown protest in a nearby town and my wife reported to me that someone from a former church we attended had posted on facebook his contention that the protestors should be marked and prohibited from getting medical coverage. That he was a self proclaimed “christian” and was also in a management position at the local hospital was a crucial indicator that we were in another of those cultural end times. When the guy’s “pastor” also chimed in with a “like” on the horrific post, it only confirmed Matt 24:24 “they shall deceive the very elect”. Granted, I am being far too generous by including these folks as “very elect”, but then God has far lower standards for his elect than I.
Glad that I have never been a fascistbook user else I would have further confirmed to these “elect” that I was now a heathen as I would have suggested that marking people was a very “biblical” approach, one he could read about in Revelation for further instruction. I dare say that when the Western world does adopt a COVID passport, he and his “pastor” will be the first to block those who do not accept the mark from attending their “church”. He will be doing them a favor.
I meant that seriously. I thought you were a heathen of some sort originally when you pointed out the gay shit in the bible, what were the original crusaders (or whatever your avatar is) but pagans with a cross as a talisman? Clearly I was wrong. Unless you are a master of Doublethink.
Larp as whatever you want but spare us the bible the old women preachers love to quote endlessly. And your love of khazar milkers. Disgusting.
Stucky is a Khazar milker and as is typical of them he is a master of the cheap shot and victimhood when confronted with someone who presents real evidence to counter his assertions. He wants you to lose everything by protesting yet never shows his arrest record to prove his bravery just like his ancestor CryptoHymies.
When attacked he calls his army of Goy groupies to save him, like rins, lupo, and the owner.
indeed, Im positive he is a reincarnation on Trav777 that used to shit all over everything on the fine establishment of Chateau Heartiste before it got scrubbed from the net. Same MO, same writing style, top tier paid troll
There is only one group and political philosophy that refuses to bend a knee to Marxism. It openly is anti-gay/transgender/open borders/degeneracy/pornography/usury/materialism and very anti-newrefrigeratist.
But we can’t have that political philosophy because of Muh Official Narrative and because Reasons.
That philosophy is called Dr. Seussism, which is a variant of esoteric Richard Wagnerism.
But, hey, at least we have super nice refrigerators, right?
When the man with the gas mask hairdo listened to a certain Dickie Wagner song, he was so moved that even a man that may have had a little hat became a devotee. Who wouldn’t join that Party? Now that is an energy that hasn’t been harvested since the day it all began.
Why do all of the exoteric Savitri Deviists become hardcore anti-newrefrigeratists? It’s not the lack of protein, even old cat ladies know that killing for food is part of Nature. Then again, cat food doesn’t need refrigerated.
Apparently bitches love men who love their ideals more than they love their women.
Thus spake Kalki.
Well to be fair to the CRMP, remember that restaurant that told the health officials and her thugs to leave? The put up a fence and armed guards around that place too.
Wait what? No they didn’t? Oh my bad. People in restaurants have more gumption than sheepy christians.
Most of the churches are just social clubs who have no interest in serious Bible study. They will willingly throw the very few churches who have the will to tell the authorities where to stick their unlawful “health code emergency orders” under the bus.
Then they will virtue signal about how very Chriatan they are to follow orders put out by the same people who will come after them when the time is right.
It’s not just a technicality … the building isn’t the Church, the people are. Let’s see how it goes moving forward.
Why do evangelicals and the like always insist on buttugly buildings for the churches?
I assume you’re trolling … please define your position a little better. I can’t visualize exactly what you’re asking.
I mean that nowadays many christian churches tend to be disgusting wastes of money and sheet metal and glass, or just plain warehouse-looking structures. How come so few churches actually look like churches anymore? Outside of catholics and the more old-fashioned protestant churches.
Architecture matters. A shitty looking building that is supposed to serve a holy function is like that one urinal they call art.
What the fuck is wrong with people like this? Are they oblivious to aesthetics? Is it a reflection of their religious sensibility?
You are so very accurate. It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. So let’s look at just two examples;
AN OLD FASHIONED CHURCH
A MODERN CHURCH (Norway)
One of the above pictures gives me goosebumps just looking at it … the other does not. One of them gives me an immediate sense of AWEsomeness at entering the House of God … the other does not.
========================= ==
One of my most popular “Pictorial Essays” was on Cathedrals. I think you would enjoy it.
In the beginning Christianity was a fellowship of men and women centering on the living Christ. Then the church moved to Greece where it became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome where it became a political institution. Next, it moved to Europe, where it became a culture. And, finally, it moved to America where it became a business.–Richard Halverson, former chaplain of the United States Senate
All the while the idea and ideals of Christianity didn’t change one bit. Amen.
And those are what? And practiced where?
Mostly not practiced in all Western countries anymore – which is the exact reason why their societies are collapsing.
And I realized that while coming from an originally completely atheistic viewpoint…
All the useless 503c churches are more interested in money than anything else. Oh, and piling on a guilt trip if you don’t give them free service where they think you are needed.
So, they did show …
They really don’t need a building. So meet on the lawn if for no other reason but to jam it up their asses. BTW. WTF did you expect electing Fidel Castro’s bastard child, Jefferson? What’s the french word for asshole?
You piqued my curiosity. Here’s what I found:
https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the/french-word-for-asshole.html#/
No clue if it’s even remotely accurate. But maybe Francis might be able to chime in?
Thank you for that A but “le stupide” doesn’t work for me. How about “Le Assholet”?
I am still curious why a Christian would refer to Easter as the “Passover”, which is defined as one of the holiest of JEWISH hollidays.
Nice catch. I assumed at first it was a synagogue when I heard him mention Passover.
Maybe it is because JESUS and HIS Disciples celebrated passover the night HE was arrested for cruxification the next day , and there is some real heavy duty teachings from that night.
One such gem, maybe you can write it in your heart.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27
Or maybe you and stucky can strap on a couple of suicide vests and go to Canada and strike a blow for freedom. That will show Christians how to act.
If that has any internal logic to you, good for you.
“Maybe it is because JESUS and HIS Disciples celebrated passover”
But everyone here made fun of me when I called them jews?
Truly christians are the new islam, the people of submission. Or canada, sorry.
And you also have some kind of proof the word “Passover” is completely unusual, or even forbidden in Christianity?
Because without that it doesn’t make much sense to bother, except by asking Artur Pawlowski himself.
I have been a member of Lutheran Missouri Synod and attended many other Easter Services etc. and never heard of Christians celebrating the Passover, talking about Passover, etc. in the context of the Holy Week of Easter, outside of historical reference, but this “Pastor” says “Passover is the most holy Christian holiday”. You people can believe what you want, but that don’t pass a smell test.
I grew up in that synod … no surprise. In the South no big deal.
Jewish Passover commemorates/celebrates God’s rescue of the Israelites from the Egyptians. It was a mere foreshadowing of God rescuing of all mankind by offering up His Son as the once-an-for-all sacrifice.
motley says: “It was a mere foreshadowing…”
From the protoevangelium in Genesis 3:15…..’foreshadowing’ scriptures abound
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <——====
On the subject of 'Pesach', here is an interesting take on the etymology:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgf8939L7P4
As a Lutheran you surely have taken Communion … bread and wine, the body and blood of Christ.
So, you clearly understand symbolism!
Passover is mentioned 28 times in the New Testament. Why are you pretending to not know what it is? State your agenda clearly for all to see … and not wrapped up in some faux quest for knowledge.
You need to educate yourself as to how the word Passover is used in Christianity.
The Bible meaning of the Passover, for the New Testament Christian, revolves around the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It is a memorial of his death as the true Lamb of God. Believers partake of unleavened bread and wine in remembrance of the sacrifice of Jesus’ beaten body and shed blood. This sacrifice makes possible the forgiveness of our sins.
The Biblical meaning of Passover for Christians is to celebrate freedom and deliverance from spiritual Egypt, or sin, made possible by the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Remembrance? What?
I was told that was his actual flesh and blood.
What is spiritual Egypt? I thought the jews in egypt managed to finagle their way into owning all the grain and livestock and wealth? Being deprived of that must have been practically another shoah.
What if the pharoah was a we wuz kangz nigger, wouldn’t that make spiritual egypt a spiritual america?
You wuzn’t too bright then, wuz yu? You don’t understand metaphor either. Ah well, …
It’s all literal for the tards.
It’s metaphorical for the marginal tards.
It’s irrelevant for everyone else.
‘We wuz kangz’ are niggers larping as something other than apes
Christianity is white people larping as the jewish god’s chosen people
Never, ever, and I do mean EVER, has there been a more ignorant statement been made about what Christianity is.
Good thing you hide behind being an Anon …. cuz if I knew who you were, I would ride your ignorant ass into the ground until you begged for Mercy …. which I would withhold.
“I would ride your ignorant ass into the ground”
Gay.
Your atheistic societies are doing great, aren’t they?
Non-Abrahamic =/= Atheist
Look at the ‘secular humanism’ that is destroying society that atheists love so much, it’s essentially christianity within a completely godless and materialistic world.
There are Christian fellowships that celebrate both … and Jewish that do too. One size does not fit all.
Makes no sense to me, but it doesn’t have to. Thanks.
Are you saying jews celebrate the white holiday of Easter?
Are you saying jews celebrate the white holiday of Easter?
Are you trolling again. You need to practice more, you ain’t real good.
It’s literally named after a pagan european goddess. I’ve never heard of non-cryptos who would celebrate easter. Plus you eat ham.
Are you retarded again? You is reel gud, stahp praktis.
Messianic Jews
I commend the Polish pastor in Canada for standing up, if most had done so from the beginning, the present outcome of the illegal shutdowns would be different. Unfortunately far too many pastors and clergy agreed with the policies and the vast majorities of their pew sitters let the clergy do their thinking for them. Of the clergy who disagreed with the policy, many were frightened of losing their 501C3 status or did not wish to offend their own who were deceived. See definition of useless.
A group of six churches in my state did challenge the governor’s illegal ruling that extended past her 28 day “emergency” limit. It is a black mark that only this small minority of churches in the state joined the suit. That the vast majority of churches went along with the state mandated shutdown as “non-essential” services was inescapably a massive self condemnation. Pause for a moment, they agreed they were non-essential. Afterward to attend such an institution when it reopened, to then sit 6 feet from everyone else and with a damn mask covering their face and mine, well, words escape me.
My family has since found real community with a small number of like-minded believers. There is a better way, 501C3 corporate churchianity doesn’t work for me.
First the ballot box, then the jury box….
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-rules-against-californias-limits-on-in-home-relgious-gatherings
5-4 decision and Roberts wasn’t part of the 5 making the decision. From my perspective Roberts is a coward. He seems so fearful that doing battle with the despotism will provoke the fascist left, thus he seems to believe impotence is the best policy. The courts have been surprisingly useless in preserving our liberty this last year, my error for the misplaced trust.
There are many names Roberts can be called. None of them are conservative. Whatever he was when the shrub put him there, he’s a communist now.
Compromised would be my first pick.
Is that a gay pizza or something?
It had salami on it when it left the kitchen but it was hidden.
Yes. There are many fellowships (i.e., “churches”) that met in the face of the orders. I was in one that met but then compromised and mandated masks. After confronting the Elders, they refused to withdraw the mandate so I found a better grounded fellowship with no such requirements. If I could find none, I start one in my house.
I think we found one of those churches, too. It remains to be seen though, we haven’t been there long.
Way back in my mind, about four neurons deep, I recall a true story I heard in a sermon. I’m sure I have some details wrong but the jist of it is this …
In post WWII Soviet Union a couple of Commie soldiers march into a church. They announce they are there to arrest (or, kill?) the Christians. Almost the entire church takes the opportunity given to them to flee. Only a handful are left. The soldiers then announce that they are Christians also, and now that the pretenders have left, that they would like to worship the Lord with them.
All that to say I hope you find a church like that.
If things keep progressing they will be persecuting Christians more and more. I don’t think the NWO luciferians or whatever hate new agers, alien followers, atheists, etc. Wonder why?
I sometimes look around me and wonder what people will do when we’re hunted etc. I hope they reflect why it would be so.
This serves their purpose of making people more afraid.
End Times scripture says it will happen.
Someone needs to force this issue against the gov’t. If anyone gets arrested for disobeying a governor’s “rule”, “directive”, or “mandate” (or is that now persondate) or whatever they are calling it, it is not a “law”. Someone should then force the gov’t to PROVE that this rona virus even exists. I’ve been waiting for 15 months for the cdc to show us a pic of the rona, how they “ISOLATED” the rona, and present the genome sequence to the public so other labs can start further research to combat this “epidemic”.
Some questions that could be presented to the gov’t witnesses/authorities:
1. Since you don’t have the rona isolated, photoed, or sequenced, how did you idenify all 4-5 variants of rona?
2. The mandatory mask mandate is useless. A good defense would be to have everyone in the courtroom don a mask (if they aren’t forced to already) and then have a cigarette lit and spread the smoke around and see if anyone can smell the smoke. YES YOU CAN AND WILL SMELL IT. Try it for yourself. This one step will destroy the mask mandate.
3. Since we were told at the start of this nightmare that the cdc discovered this new rona virus based on a 37 gene strand, that is similar to other virus’, that they extrapolated to the normal 30,000 gene sequence of a virus, how do you know this is rona is real?
4. This past season the common flu had less than 1900 actual “cases” that required medical intervention, compared to the previous year of 38,000,000+ medically treated real “cases” according to the cdc’s own records. Why? What happened to the flu?
5. If this rona bug is so deadly, why aren’t the homeless dropping like flies due to their poorer health conditions and close contact with each other, which would make them more susceptible to contracting it?
And many more…….

“The human immune system is a thing of wonder. What it does is when it faces a new pathogen like this, you’ve got professional cells, they’re called professional antigen-presenting cells —they’re kind of rough tough things that tend not to succumb to viruses. And their job is to grab foreign things in the near environment and tear them limb from limb [inside the cell]. They really cut them up into hundreds of pieces. And then they present these pieces on the surfaces of their cell to other bits of your immune system, and amazingly, because of the variability that God and nature gave you, huge variability to recognize foreign things, and your body ends up using 15 to 20 different specific motifs that it spots about this virus. They’re called epitopes, basically they’re just like little photographs of the details about this virus. That’s what they do. And that is what is called your repertoire, your immune repertoire is like 20 different accurate photographs, close-ups, of different bits of this virus.
“Now, if a tiny piece of the virus changes, like the .3% I’ve just described, if you are reinfected by that variant, your professional cells tear into that virus and cut it into pieces, present them again, and lo and behold, most of the pieces that you have already seen and recognized, are still there in the variants.

I’m right behind you Stuck…
You lead the charge!
I went to church today. The sermon was on the book of Revelations. I told my father (85 years old) I would go if he could get his pastor to preach about the book of Revelations. The pastor touched on the 1st and 2nd Amendments and mentioned that fear is the greatest weapon that will be used against us in the end times. The church hit the record attendance of 33 people. LOL. Only 3 people were wearing masks (under their nose) and I was the youngest (55) adult there. I shook everyone’s hand except the violinist…he was Asian. 😂. The Asian gave me a fist pump.
I remember when you posted that you’d go if Revelation was preached, so your dad must have conveyed that to the pastor; doesn’t seem like a coincidence. Good for you, your dad would be pleased, and hopefully you got something good from the message. It sounded good, what you told. The pastor must be a good guy.
Oh yes, dad got it set up 2 days after I told him I’d go if he did.
Sounds like God is at work in your life, G&L.
I wouldn’t shake hands with an asian either.
Who will be our Martin Luther?
I vote for Stuck.
Will he write On the Jews and Their Lies?
And a couple centuries later, Rome wrote the Christian religion for the Christians* – and, as a byproduct, decided the criteria for becoming a martyr.
*For those of you playing along at home, this is an example of irony.
The true gutless wonders and cowards are those LEO’s who enforce the malum prohibitum diktats of psychopathic politicians and judges.
Their salaries and comfort level is more important than having a backbone.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
Upton Sinclair
Actually, it was 300 years later …. which is longer than the USA has been in existence. You are correct, though … things do change over time and it is ironic.
Back in 1776 we had a Constitution that was followed. Today? Not so much. That’s ironic also.
That Church, like all churches chose to be incorporated.
Those Churches chose to be Corporations UNDER Government!
Churches wanted benefits such as tax deductions for their attendees to make the Church more money.
Corporate Churches MUST obey the Laws of the Parent Corporate Government.
Churches CAN NOT serve two Masters.
Churches CAN NOT serve both Natures God and the other god called Government.
I have no sympathy for Churches.
If You want to serve Natures God, get out of churches as they preach their own Doctrine and not the Doctrine of Scripture.
Gee. This is really, really tough. But what you have never accepted or understood, is that the Religious Right is the Toilet Paper of the Republican Party. You think they give a shit about your Bible or your Religion or your Churches or your Savior or your God?! Fools! They care for only their billionaire bastard boyfriends in International Corporations and on Wall Street. Their attitude: fuck the rest of you useful monkey fools. There is the truth, punk. Let’s see you handle it. Oh, and yeah, the Democrats really are a bunch of I Hate America Communists.

Ahhh, here cometh the Ignorant Moran who can’t spell, can’t use capitalization correctly, and butchers grammar.
The NT also doesn’t have the word “rapture”, or “Trinity”, or a bunch of other beliefs that are actually practiced in Christianity.
Yet, you come back — I absolutely know you’re a regular POS poster here who cowardly switches to ‘AWB’ just to fling shit — and think you’re soooooo smart in pointing out an utterly mundane and irrelevant observation. Bwahahahaha!! No go back to fondling yourself, and leave intelligent conversation to the adults in this room.

Chicket-shit for brains AWB is jealous because he knows he is not man enough to ever be this …..
That was my desktop for many a moon… Luv that and always strive to apply it.
You are a good man, an exemplary Christian, and a great Patriot!
You know what? I just made it MY background! Not kidding. Not sure why I waited this long to do so.
Thx but I’m not a good man and I’m a not so great a Christian either but I strive to live my life according to the Gospels message. My heros in scripture are David’s mighty men, especially
2 Sam 23:11 And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils. So the people fled from the Philistines. 12 But he stationed himself in the middle of the field, defended it, and killed the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory.
This is my heart, defend that which belongs to my Lord. Even beans. To me, it means the unwashed ones that people would rather overlook because they don’t dress like a pharasee, or talk the talk and might even be smelly. Even you my friend, I pray for you. I only know you from here, and I may be wrong, but I pray for a true revelation of just who Christ is, without the religion.
Wowsers… What I miss when the shop demands my attention.
I unfortunately have to agree with much of what Stucky has posted but certainly not in the same verbiage. Sadly the church in N America has been seduced by such false teachings as the greasy grace prosperity rubbish Where people are being attacked by the devil himself if their bank account is in the negative. Where they can go live like any other nonsaved person, no need for repentance because they are forgiven.
Whats coming next for these goon squad barricaded churches… maybe bulldozing like they do in china and certain african nations. The building itself is only a sheep shed, nothing special about it. But the real church, the ones hiding and refusing to take a stand, shows you how much false teaching there has been and the value they place on their faith.
I for one take my faith to the streets when I can sit on the tail gate and flog some cbg’s. I gift half away because it opens the conversation to a greater gift. My ‘church’ is on the street, its also in my shop. When the hard crunch comes, we’ll bring it into our house. Just as the underground churches in china do as well as in muslim countries.
People in china, iran, sudan, nigeria are being killed regular for their faith in Christ. Somehow ‘christians’ in N america think they are special and will avoid persecution. Yet Jesus’s own words are,
John 15:20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.
Christians across these nations like canukistan and the US, need to come out, everywhere, and go to church. Having done all, stand. Get hot.
Ephesians 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Christianity has been subdued for the most part by boot lickers and scraping toadies. I don’t claim to be Christian in that sense as it has strayed far from its moorings. I agree with you Stuckey that the so called church of today is a hollow shell of its founding. I Started going back for the first time since I was a kid when the holocough started. Even as Gov Douche nozzle shut down churches the men of our small local church said fuck it in open defiance of AZ ‘dicktates’ and held bible study every Sunday in the park. As the scam demic progressed the church finally showed some backbone and reopened. I as well as my wife began attending. It was a church should be, few wearing masks, trusting in nature and natures God for their protection.
We went on a three month trip across the country and when we returned we were excited to attend church again. Low and behold what do we find when we come back. Nearly everyone wearing f***ing cough burkas. Might as well bow down and lick the .Gov boot that gives forth all tax exemptions. Oh well I think I found another church nearby that no one wears a mask. We will be checking it out soon.
You are correct about gun owners becoming pussified. I am guilty as charged. I find the love of my wife, kids, and grandkids keeps me grounded, not doing something suicidal or stupid. At this point I am part of the problem not the solution. I’ve known about our encroaching darkness my whole life and always thought at some point I might take a shot at the man behind the curtain. But which man? Which curtain? As they say wars are not fought only by childless men.
After this shit show of 2020 I now have a few more lines in the sand. Where before I only had one. But to what end. By the time they get to lowly me it will all be over but the shouting. At this point I’m reminded about wrestling not against flesh and bone, but powers above our pay grade
Keep on stirring the shit my man. You make a lot of people think in ways they hadn’t before. Your article on Revelation was donation worthy. I made my wife read it and she is now beginning to understand how far the church of today is from the first century believers. Wahmen seem to have a hard time going against the cloak of authority.But I am blessed to have a good one who is capable of change.
And to all your Stuckey haters, hate away. You can go suck a full dose of diseased donkey dick.
Thank you so very much for your encouragement. Folks like yourself ultimately make it all worthwhile.
I wish you nothing but success in finding a REAL Christian church … hard as that might be.
“And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.” Luke22:34-36
