TransQuakerism

I was looking forward to a quiet day to finally relax some. Forgetting there's a Meeting For Business tomorrow... My inbox is so full 😭

"God made you as you are and doesn't make mistakes!"
1. I'm not a mistake
2. God made me trans, and has made trans people since the start of humanity. We've always had transitions methods, the most important being FUCKING EMPATHY from the rest of y'all as a lesson!

*gets out flashlight* Now hold still

'Greater good' pair cleared of BAE criminal damage The two men say they wanted to disarm Tornado jets to prevent them being used to bomb Yemen.

A thread: ‘If Palestine Action are terrorists then so is Jesus’ - How we ended up supporting the Palestine Action judicial review.

In 2017 Reverend Woody & I broke into BAE Warton to disarm Saudi war planes being used to bomb Yemen.

"You're only saved through Grace!"
"No, you need Works!"

God doesn't have friendship decay, and needs you to understand when you've been a dumbass *nodding sagely*

with alt text , spread the word!

Prometheus says “hot take” and Greek gods respond “no give that back.”

I'm officially getting old. i need a magnefying glass to read footnotes...

"Well how is God supposed to know what I'll say before I say it?"
*flopping around bible* "Cause we've been saying the same shit since the beginning!"

I hate how Ms. "I'm Just A Girl" feminine rage pop punk became a fascist so fast, I didn't realize how bad it was until now

"No one is free until everyone is free"

Also means

"No one is safe until everyone is safe."

yeah, i attended the contemporary service at the united church i used to attend. the songs havent gotten better lol

It's probably really weird that I enjoy "performing" christianity. Like, taking time to study my bible (its getting very colourful), I've been enjoying prayer and watching church services (that one isn't new).
I still can't get behind contemporary worship music tho lol

Just got this ad on a site.

Free *what* motherfucker? FREE *WHAT*!? 😆

Don't like the quaker primitive cross stitch samplers
UNLESS
THEY'RE SILLY
Like this Jurassic Quaker pattern by Meridian Designs
Has a T-rex roaring the alphabet, incredible
I'm not gonna do it, but it's amazing

One of the Cottingley Fairies photos. A little girl is surrounded by what is very obviously paper cutouts of fairy pictures.

Another of the Cottingley Fairies photos. A little girl is looking at what is, again, very clearly a cutout drawing of a fairy.

Yet another of the Cottingley Fairies photos. Once again a little girl is looking at what is, again, very clearly a cutout drawing of a fairy.

The final Cottingley Fairy photo. This one is supposed to be maintained as real. Again, very clearly paper cutouts. If you go look at the wikipedia page about it you can even see the original drawing from the book they were from.

Whenever people gush over AI I'm going to think about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle being utterly convinced that he'd discovered real scientific evidence of real fairies because he saw these pictures

"I'm going to do some journaling of my thoughts on simplicity... aaand I think I accidentally sermon'd" 🤣

Happy Valentine’s Day! Be sure to show love to the Yaels in your life

the most distracting thing is having all the different books labelled, so to quickly check the referrences made in better context. that's a new thing i just started doing, and may need to go back through the ones Ive already read 🤣

currently I'm doing oldest to newest writing, as best as can be estimated. so a lot of paul's epistles as they can be dated to before the gospels, and just did mark so I'll be into matthew i believe next

my bible is quickly becoming a mess of tabs and coloured highlighting. i normally leave it out if anyone wants to read during meeting, but this will be a distracting eye sore 🤣
need to pick a different one to bring sunday. preferrably that i haven't written in.. and is a translation i like...

yup, the largest population of quakers can be found in kenya where the evangelical/programmed branch is most popular

"Do you think the world is really ending?"
"Only as we know it"

Mainline Protestant - Wikipedia

specifically mainline is theologically liberal or progressive. quakers usually get lumped in for research
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainlin...

uhhh... I barely made it into the article cause the trump bible is literally the KJV. Because he's supported by KJV-onlyists

And why would the pope use a translation from a breakaway denomination... (instead of like the jerusalem or douay-rheims bible?)

What an honor!

I've listened to Finnish metal for almost 2 decades. I don't need to understand the words to know a song is good lol
