Anastasis

Non denominational bible church preacher in NC pushing back on some people in his congregation. The winds in these communities shift, and quickly.

Checks out. 2023 appraised went down marginally from 2022, 2024 is still below 2022. 2021 to 2022 is where the pain is.

Taint this the truth.

Moar lions.

There are literally no evangelicals or fundamentalists framing it in this way. If you can provide some examples of such, it will be the first that I have ever seen. But on the other hand, I have seen a lot of them talking about raising red heifers and collecting funds to rebuild the Temple, and framing the current conflict as part of their end times eschatology.

Korean beef bowl situation please.

How many crayons did you eat today?

There is very little that you cannot justify with this logic. Grab the box and the jumper cables. The towel and board. Again at least you are honest about your perspective on American values.

well I’ll be damned.

Yeah, I am just going to reject your counterfactual. I know that many here will accept it uncritically. We're still speaking English! JFC. The petrodollar! Yeah, tell me all about the pariah state situation. But I do appreciate the fact that you at least quite clear in your view that the American way of life post-WWII is inseparable from endless war making and naked self-interest, long run consequences and thinking be damned, we'll just muddle through the blowback. I think that that kind of cut through it honesty is worthy of some praise.

WW love him the MIC. He has explicitly told you this many times here. Like, "I love General Dynamics". That's a direct quote. Not words put into mouth. In another thread he is reading out articles from The War Zone, sponsored by Boeing. This is not something that he is ashamed of at all, you don't need to be defensive for him.

Username checks out.

UW, I know that you are a sincere poster coming from a good place at heart. This above is wrong headed though. With sincerity, I would like to suggest a couple books that I think you might enjoy and would find some interesting perspective. I'd be happy to send you either one or both. https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Brothers-Dramatic-Palestinian-Christian/dp/154090217X https://www.amazon.com/Holy-Mountain-Journey-Christians-Middle/dp/0307948897

TACD Appraised value up 4%, HS assessed value up 10%. Appraised value up 93% since 2000.

Twitter rots brains. The OSINT genre in particular.

I understand that unless they are funded by Raytheon, they are suspect to you.

If I had a dollar for every time one of you sought to frame your words as my own, tell me what I think, or just simply repeated questions that were asked and addressed like seven pages earlier while acting like they remain unfulfilled, I could retire early. Back in reality world both your children and mine have been raised in world where the US has been engaged in war for the entirety of their lives. Maybe you don't favor the reality, but that doesn't change the reality. And it's hard to connect the dots between your rhetoric and aspirations and reality when you stand behind all of those wars in real time during the run up and the barking sounds a lot like warmongers like john bolton.

Yes, I totally agree. They have a highly functional and sophisticated arms industry (admittedly built with our subsidizing). All the more reason to stop sending them more American taxpayer funded shit. 1- How to fix the animosity on both sides? Holy fuck if this is our responsibility to fix. I tell you that whatever we are doing right now certainly is not helping. Stop arming them to kill each other though may be a good start. 2- What to do about the hardlines? Stop sending them money and weapons. 3- How to integrate? Take a firm and unwavering stand against apartheid. 4- Settlements? Maybe for one stop cock blocking every security council resolution on the matter and conditioning all further aid packages on winding them down and returning to a lawful posture. We have very limited ability to control the actions of either Israel or the Palestinians. We only control ourselves. And with that of course, we control the flow of American guns and money. So that imo is where we should start.

First, the things that we actually have direct control over. Stop just free dumping military arms and money into the region.

I understand that you are going to fall in opposition to their goal to "promote ideas that move U.S. foreign policy away from endless war, toward military restraint and diplomacy in the pursuit of international peace". But it is certainly overrepresented among the posters of this board, and particularly posters like brisket, that such positions are considered indefensible.

American leadership working towards a two-state solution on display.

My positions are generally aligned with the majority of Americans. As posted earlier.

It's been discussed a few pages back, with the same posters. I am sure that you missed the exchange. Accidently I'm sure. Prior posts below. If you want full context you can start at page 185 or so.

Sorry I guess for directly responding to the specific charge and in the same terms that it was made. Oh, and below still suits.

Not enough Brits or Australians on the playground to generate a full blown western media outrage.
