WE POOL MONEY WHY NOT PUT THAT MONEY TOWARDS TAKING OVER APARTMENT BUILDINGS IN THE CITY WE HAVE FIGHTING AGE BACHELORS AND DEAD BROKE YOUNG FAMILIES SWEEP AN APARTMENT BUILDING FROM BROWNS FILL THE WAITING LIST, MOVE IN ANYTIME A BROWN LEAVES

@nugger@poa.st yea no kidding…but how many people even on poast think like this? Fuckin none. I’ve made similar posts like this before, I care not to bring them back up. I’ve been saying similar things since, I dunno 2018 or whatever. It’s 2024 now and guys seem even more isolated, beaten down, lonely.

WE WANTED TO TRY THIS WHEN THE MARKET WAS DOWN (TAKE OVER IRON MOUNTAIN IN THE UP) BACK WHEN HOUSES WERE 20 GRAND AND EVEN THEN IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I KNOW MANY DON'T LIKE TO ADMIT IT BUT QUITE A FEW ARE NEETING IT UP WAITING FOR THEIR PARENTS TO DIE SO THEY GET AN INHERITENCE, THIS MAY BE SUBCONSCIOUS BUT IT DOES KEEP THEM PRISONER, EVEN IF THEY ARE CURRENTLY RENTING A PLACE NEARBY AT HOME ONCE A MAN IS MARRIED HE TENDS TO ONLY DRIFT AWAY FROM HIS UNMARRIED FRIENDS AS A PEACEKEEPING MEASURE TO AVOID HIS WIFE'S WRATH (SHE WILL UNIVERSALLY CONSIDER THEM A TERRIBLE INFLUENCE BECAUSE THEY STILL WANT/LIKE TO DO THINGS) THIS FACT COUPLED WITH THE CURRENT DIVORCE RATE AND ITS CONQUENCES MAKES MIXING SINGLE AND MARRIED MEN TOGETHER IN ANY ENDEAVOR VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE, DOUBLY SO IF FINANCES BECOME INVOLVED LASTLY THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF ADDICTS THAT CAN HANG WITH THE GANG IN THE DIGITAL MASQUERADE BUT LIVING WITH OR EVEN AROUND THEM WOULD BE UNTENABLE FOR THE REST, THE "TRAILER PARK" REPULSION EFFECT, I AM NOT PICKING ON 'OUR GUYS' SO MUCH HERE AS POINTING OUT THEY'RE INCLUDED IN THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY (IT'S ALSO EVIDENT BY THEIR BEHAVIOR HERE)

I WASN'T TALKING INTERNET, I WAS TALKING LOCAL CHURCH PARISH THAT'S THE CONTEXT FOR THE "WE POOL MONEY" -- THAT WAS MEANT AS IN "FOR MISSIONS AND MINISTRIES AND FESTIVALS" JUST BLOBBING UP AROUND PARISH BUILDING LOCAL AREA MINI VILLAGE

WELL THAT IS MORE OF A CONSEQUENCE OF THE FALLING AWAY IN AMERICA IN GENERAL. WITH OVER 3/4 OF CHURCHES SHRINKING IN SIZE AND "MEGACHURCHES" (WHICH TYPICALLY ATTRACT PEOPLE FROM ENTIRE ZIP CODES AND BEYOND) GROWING, CONGREGATIONS ARE MORE DIVIDED THAN EVER. LOCALISM IS HARDLY THEIR BIGGEST ISSUE THOUGH ON THE FLIPSIDE, THE REMAINING SMALLER INDEPENDENT CONGREGATIONS THAT ARE TRYING TO STAND IN THE GAP ARE GRABBING FROM A MUCH LARGER POOL OF PEOPLE TO SIEVE OUT THE REMNANT STILL INTERESTED IN ATTENDING A ROCK SOLID CHURCH. IF ANY ARE GOING TO POSSIBLY COME TOGETHER IT'S THESE FOLKS, THEIR BIGGEST OBSTACLE BEING A GENERATIONAL DIVIDE WHERE THE BOOMERS HOLD ALL THE CARDS AND DON'T WANT TO TRY ANYTHING RISKY AND THE YOUNGER MEN ARE JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT SEE THE 2022 WORLDVIEW STUDIES HERE.

@ALLCAPSPUPPER@poa.st @nugger@poa.st damn, that’s accurate Your response has given me something to think about too. regarding how bitterly my thoughts can get about the situation. There are many factors here, I wish there weren’t, but there are.

I don't consider prosperity doctrine to be biblical, and would never attend a church that says prosperity is a sign of faith. Not trying to pick at nits, but that whole survey is kinda sus.

@nugger@poa.st @ALLCAPSPUPPER@poa.st @RehnSturm256@shota.house this is something I am trying now. I've gotten the church to agree with it and we are working on the zoning board since a member of the church is on it. Next is actually purchasing the houses and land, but that will take decades. Just keeping the current stuff running takes an absurd amount of cash.

@kc-poast@poa.st @ALLCAPSPUPPER@poa.st @nugger@poa.st that’s already more than is possible in many other places

"OH THIS CAN'T BE ACCURATE! ITS PROBABLY A POLL RIGGED WITH QUESTIONS LIKE FLAT EARTH, THE PETERSBURG CREATION MUSEUM WITH CAVEMEN RIDING DINOSAURS AND . . ." >A majority of adults accept lying, abortion, consensual intercourse between unmarried adults, gay marriage, and the rejection of absolute moral truth as morally acceptable. >Less than half of all adults embrace the Bible as their primary guide to morality. A minority believes that every moral choice either honors or dishonors God. >A large minority of adults accept the notion that as long as you do no harm, you may do whatever you wish.

THERE IS SOME STUFF THAT MIGHT SLIP BY ON LANGUAGE LIKE "PEOPLE ARE BASICALLY GOOD" BUT THE REST -- NOT SUSPICIOUS

As I've said many times (and keep in mind I'm not Christian, but certainly was raised as one), Sola scriptura is the single most egregious heresy, in fact it is the root of almost all others (dispensationalism, prosperity, women ministers, faggot preachers, etc.). So when I hear "biblical worldview" I think of the rise of the "do what I want because I can justify it through s snippet of Scripture" evangelical churches. To me the preacher survey stinks of many heresies. I'm guessing that Copeland fella scored high on it.

IDK LOOKS LIKE BASICS TO ME

it all looks greek to me

@nugger@poa.st @ALLCAPSPUPPER@poa.st @RehnSturm256@shota.house >“For instance, one-third of all pastors do not read the Bible during a typical week,” he explained. “That might be compared to a doctor not washing his hands before the operations he performs during a week; it’s unthinkable, almost unimaginable. This particular mistake is most prolific among pastors in the Holiness and traditionally black denominations. About half of them do not read the Bible during the course of a typical week.”

I KNOW THIS SHOULD BE SAD BUT THE INTRODUCTION OF "BLACK PASTORS" INTO THE ISSUE MADE IT COMEDIC

@nugger@poa.st @ALLCAPSPUPPER@poa.st @RehnSturm256@shota.house I MUST ADMIT THE SWERVE INTO THAT BROKE MY COMPOSURE

A PASTA A CUH MUNNITEE LEADA AN A ENTEPRENOOH

@lks@poa.st @ALLCAPSPUPPER@poa.st @nugger@poa.st @RehnSturm256@shota.house prosperity doctrine is not biblical its televangelist slop

@sun@shitposter.world @ALLCAPSPUPPER@poa.st @lks@poa.st @nugger@poa.st @RehnSturm256@shota.house The argument is that it's a prominent, harmful prooftext. Where arguing against sola scriptura falls apart is that the de facto alternative is total irreverence for scripture, as shown in the denominational breakdown of the more clear-cut issues.

@birdulon@shpposter.club @ALLCAPSPUPPER@poa.st @lks@poa.st @nugger@poa.st @RehnSturm256@shota.house I agree that is a risk but sometimes you just have to thread the needle.

@sun@shitposter.world @ALLCAPSPUPPER@poa.st @lks@poa.st @nugger@poa.st @RehnSturm256@shota.house I'm open to the idea of using traditions to guide discernment on issues that scripture doesn't make clear.

@ageha@tomo.airen-no-jikken.icu @RehnSturm256@shota.house @birdulon@shpposter.club When I was a Baptist I ran into this. There are things that Baptists just straight up ignore even though it's right there in the text.
