I also believed that Jesus wanted me to turn the other cheek and interpreted that to mean I should be a doormat.While surrounding himself with cut-throat Galilean Zealots
Well, I admit to getting the wrong message there.
Religion hurts people all of the time. Wylted. And in many ways. Jehovah's witnesses' don't agree with higher education for their own children. I am sure you can guess why that is.
Norway had a ruling that they cannot recieve state funding due to their shunning practices. The JWs sued and claimed they don't shun and in the second day if court the state showed a video of watchtower own disfellowship videos.
Personally I think if I ran a church I would refuse state funding. It seems like I could lead to some perverse incentives to follow the state overGod.i don't know how things work over there or why itis okay to directly fund churches with tax payer money.

I tried some techniques that were useful to me before but may be deprecated or I am doing them wrong. For example BEFORE: 2015 and also BEFORE:2015 both still gave me results for after 2015

Using 2 should be fine. For example "john smith" AND "had anal sex" . However yes I agree it shouldn't be around single words like I used there. I had different results googling that with and without quotation marks. Neither results are easily explainable if I don't clear my history
Created:
I would like to get into creating your own search engine with searx for even better results but it's beyond the scope of the video/

Also I messed up on the quotes. It is probably more fitting for longer strings of text than individual words, but it works either way

It seems to be mostly the same results as google. The difference is they don't track you as much

I thought his observation of earth was ridiculous. No doubt or anything just kind of immediately knew earth as watcher. It's great intuition and skill

You read the game closer than I did. I was just the score keeper. I will take your word for it, but I sent him a scum hunting guide in the PM and he seemed to follow some of the principles of it.

Here is a video that will help you improve you googling skills. The speaker sounds like an effeminate beta male, but he in fact is a sleeper alpha. https://youtu.be/nsaVTv_kEvg?si=vA9-kN7_pd7pod4P
Some of you already know how to get more from google search engine results, but if you think there is more to learn about how to google than watch the video.

Only GP really committed to his decisions. Everybody seemed like the were willing to hear each other out. Joebob had his thoughts on who was scum but still kept his mind open to other possibilities. With a larger player pool the game would have felt a lot closer

Sorry for this rushed endgame
Scum was Pie and RM who won the game.
I thought town did an excellent job throughout but just didn't play perfect. I also thought pie and RM could have sealed the deal DP2 if they really wanted to

If you knew what supposedly good Christian people had done to me you would know that I have every reason to hate Christianity and Christians.
I am sorry to hear that you have had bad experiences. I certainly understand this. I can relate. I have had bad experiences with foster parents and I hate them. I hate foster parents in general. It's not a logical thing but hard to get past the trauma emotionally.
Christianity has also hurt me. As a kid I internalized certain concepts like the fact I thought Jesus wanted me to be poor so everytime I would get a high paying job I would immediately quit it out of a sense of guilt. I also believed that Jesus wanted me to turn the other cheek and interpreted that to mean I should be a doormat. So Christianity has at one point hurt me significantly.
If you knew what supposedly good Christian people.
Here is the thing about good Christians. They don't exist. The church is a place for broken people not for saints. I know some of them act holier than though and those people are further from Jesus than even the mafia members who go to church and then order hits on rivals on the weekend. My sister acts holier than though but if I tell her she is acting like the pharisees I am not going to be invited to family reunions

@Best.Korea
Would you say that Rider Waite deck is superior to other tarot decks?
Yes, they were actually well thought out and designed by an actual secret society as opposed to a random edgy artist. I think if you buy a tarot deck you want it built by somebody who sees layers upon layers of symbolic meaning, and has a good understanding of symbolism and occult knowledge.
I can actually recreate most of the tarot decks with playing cards (poker cards) in real life.
I have known some people to use just a deck of cards when doing readings. It is essentially a tarot deck lacking the Major Arcana. It works in a pinch
I just cant recreate the ones which have more than 52 cards.
Yes you can just drop the major Arcana
For Rider Waite and similar, I just take their major arcana cards, which I know is kinda worse because I am only using 22 cards, but to me it seems good enough for a start.
I think thats how most people recommend to start. Just study the major arcana and move onto other things.
What I would do is before I went to bed draw a card from the deck and meditate on it. I would try to put myself into the world it portrayed. If I was lucky I would dream inside of the world of the card and really make it intuitive and be a part of me. yes read the meanings on Biddy tarot but also meditate on them and use those meanings as a backup to your intuition if you can

I am no theologian , but the Rider Waite deck uses a lot of christian symbolism such as the resurrection of the dead in end times. The fool being hung upside down like Judas etc. It was also created by the knights of the Golden Dawn which was essentially Christian mysticism.
I wouldn't say that Christian mysticism is banned in the bible. There is one passage where a mystic communicates with the dead and the jew who sought the reading was chastized by God. However that was specifically against communing with the dead and not mysticism in general. We also have several examples of succesful dream analysis which seemed to have the blessing of God, so I don't believe it to be an altogether banning on mysticism.
Here is another thing to consider. Let's say all forms of occultism and mysticism are banned, it wouldn't necessarily mean that those practices are ineffective. It would just mean that people of God should avoid them.
Only people who are subhumans both intellectually and morally believe in or have a favorable opinion of Christianity.
Stupid take. The world is better off because Christianity is true. This is provable and people that hold a positive view of Christianity very often do so because they know something you don't.
The fact is you are depressed and experiencing suicidal ideation means that perhaps there is something off about your thinking and life and maybe christianity could help you adjust your thinking to be more compassionate to yourself, give you a sense of purpose and give you a built in supportive community.

I will not stick to yes or no questions because tarot is better suited for more general questions.
You will give me a real reading using the Celtics cross spread and stop being a bitch.
And you will use this website to help do your reading if you refuse to use your intuition like you are supposed to with tarot. https://biddytarot.com/blog/how-to-read-the-celtic-cross-tarot-spread/

Okay I listened to it. It honestly seemed like him trying to appeal to Trump voters by using terns like "illegals" while simultaneously calling Republicans insurrectionists.
Maybe just appeal to the voters you lost due to your stupidity instead of hard kine Republicans.

The COC meep thread. It needs to be more public so it cannot be forgotten no matter who tries to influence the site towards what David did . A site where only one very narrow set of opinions is tolerated and anything not in that narrow set is labeled hate speech . Even most of thoe who agree with hate speech laws would still see the hate speech laws of the site as being a step too far.

I literally brought freedom of speech and respect back to the site with my meep proposal. I am definitely presidential material. I also dropped the title when I could bo longer contribute to improving the site which takes a lot of situational and self awareness. I am still behind the scenes improving the site but I no longer need to be president to make it happen .

Turns out when they juice his brain up with performance drugs, it magically becomes red-pilled.
He literally has said he doesn't want his kids to live in a racial jjungle.
Being a democrat for him is some sort of weird gift but I am not going to vote him anyway. I like that they other guy better. Yeah sure trump is a democrat who is grifting the right so the opposite of Biden but he will actually push policies I like with this gift and maybe accidentally save America.

He clearly dispelled that nonsense you guys made up to distract from Trump being unhinged.
Bro you are brainwashed. Even Hillary is making public statements that he is senile but urging people to overlook it and vote him anyway.
Why do you guys do this? We don't deny Reagan was senile his last year of office

The fear of Germans is benefiting them right now but the west was making plans to genocide the Germans prior to my Lord and Savior intervening through his people. https://youtu.be/yL7FSQeND98?si=vfYVzFAshR2-KcWI
This is where people don't get Jordan Peterson. Peterson is fully aware that the rise of Hitler was due to a reactionary response to a lot of stuff we see resurfacing in the United states, and Peterson is working very hard to deradicalize the right and remind them that sensible people do outnumber the leftists who have wrested control of institutions and are encouraging people to be brave and confront the nonsense now so there never is a rise of Hitler 2.0...
The sad part is Peterson is clearly a liberal and he must struggle with the fact that he is only accepted by the right. Although it must give him some solace that appealing to the right is what is needed to prevent he reactionary response to leftist evil.
