'Parties can get more people to visit church' -
02-17-2024, 09:44 PM
I spend a lot of time thinking about atheists and their odd, wantonly hell-bound, approach to life.
However, it always amazes me that the biggest threats to Christianity don't come from them, nor even from made up religions like Hinduism. It comes from false "Christians" making a mockery of God. Just take a look at this British article and count the atrocities towards the Lord, you'll soon lose count. Here's a starter: "Parties in church"

There is nothing wrong in principle with holding social events at the church. For example, the Ladies of Landover held a very successful clinic for young parents last Thursday evening on how to beat your child with a rod without leaving any visible bruises. This both brought our community closer together and helped to keep child protective services from the State of Iowa off our backs.
Of course, a disco organized by a female "pastor" is of the Devil. That would never happen here at Landover.

Churches used to promote sin? That's new one. The job of churches is to condemn sin.
Disco nights is the first step toward homer orgies. It's better to have empty churches than ones full to the brim of sin.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

Dear help us! No, no, no — and no! We cannot condone any of this sinful dancing in the churches. The church is a place of worship — not a free-for-all where people can make lewd, suggestive, gyrating physical expressions. If this "disco" phase were to become prevalent in churches, why, the next thing you know, Miss Taylor Swift's influence will be infiltrating the House of the !

The "disco-loving" vicar is a self-proclaimed Harry Styles fan who uses her church to organise silent discos as well as beer and carols events.
"The more the merrier. We need people to come in and have fun - it's not all boring and serious," she says.

You can see where I lost interest. How can any Christian "reverend" be called Jessica? But more concerning, after all even people who reject God's commandments may be not completely insane, was the following concept:

Imagine the scene, assuming you have some idea of what "Disco" is which you may not so here's a demonstration featuring a "him" and a "her" also lots of plants for some reason but I'm not wasting any more time looking for a better example: OK. Now is it just me or is the mental image of a room full of people starting to do that IN COMPLETE SILENCE utterly bizarre? Not to mention unimaginable, because here we have the ability to select Full screen (the square button thing lower right) and mute the sound - - - - - - - oh, and this being a church building maybe play at half speed ~ that's approximately what I thought.
labels underneath buttons
1 selects Full screen — 2 is the mute button — 3 adjusts speed
If that's not a representation of Hell, from virtually anyone's perspective, I don't know what is.

Amen, dear Sister Mitza. What a disgusting display of fleshly pleasure that video clip contains. That woman should be ashamed of herself – gyrating like that, wearing skin-tight clothing and shaking her fanny this way and that. I only hope that kiddies do not find this video as I fear it could very well corrupt their young, impressionable minds and put them on the fast track to eternal !

Yes, on the one hand my posting the original version—which is in French—protects churchgoers from the Godlessness of the lyrics but of course the energetic dance style [relevance] is right there.
“Perhaps the Taiwanese line-dancing version would be a better illustration?” I thought. But then it's in English and I doubt the costumes are any better [worse! -ed.] even if that reverend would invite them in.
Which I'm sure she would.
Here it is, anyway. A few years ago I heard an interview, radio, two politicians from the extremes (as was supposed) of their respective parties. Clearly the "interviewer" was hoping for fireworks – but they both agreed. Agreed on what outcomes they looked for. Understood each others position on how to achieve them. Differed on which policy settings ought to prevail in government, obviously, but the topic of funding came up. (There was some issue at the time prompting the segment.) Should governments make legal currently outlawed activities just because they'd generate tax revenue?
Well, they were right in step! I don't want to dwell on actual activities, many of them in their illegal iteration thriving in "Disco" environments (although this was long after the craze had come and gone) together with less salubrious dives or just flogged outright on street corners, under bridges, behind disused railway stations and so on.
“Yes! Yes!!” one of them said. “Couldn't have put it better myself.”
“And what about some Government Owned houses? They bring in a fait bit I understand.” “Right on, man - and while we're at it, why not build some [contraband] factories? We could monitor the purity, guarantee it didn't contain any arsenic, ensure consistency and eliminate unexpected sudden death.” “Groovy, baby - of course there'd still be the expected deaths..” “Well, yes, but people die falling off cliffs don't they? And we haven't banned cliffs.”
This went on for about 20 minutes, the examples becoming more degenerate and I don't need to elaborate but I'm sure you get the idea. They disagreed on how the money would be spent, if scooped in, yet through their hypothetical cash cows concurred that funds must be obtained ethically. The poor anchor guy was completely sidelined, spluttering occasionally, but the parallel for our Vicar is plain. If all she wants is attendees, there are ways to increase their number exponentially that clearly work for the sorts of people who drive gold-plated Lamborghinis & diamond-encrusted Rolls-Royces: perhaps she'd like one of those? Even so, walking into her joint to see a slowly writhing congregation or spontaneous leaping & squirming (as in my first example) ALL IN SILENCE would just be too much for me, especially if she's had any new ideas. Disco is not the sort of dancing referred to in The Bible – except Herodias' daughter, perhaps.

Hello fellow TRUE CHRISTIANS, I just have one question. I was unsure on which post to ask this in. I am just wondering if any of y'all know what these terms mean: "Skibidi", "simp", and "fanum tax". I was babysitting my great grandchildren and one of them said, "Granny Glenda, I think you are a simp for the skibidis. That makes me want to give you the fanum tax."
I was beyond puzzled by the meaning of all of these terms. I have tried to search the web for the meanings, but I know that my dearest grandson would NEVER use those words if they mean what the web says that they mean. I am just hoping that y'all could give me some guidance in the meaning of being a skibidi simp.

This is not an islamic forum.
I'm sure your grandson has the maturity to see through their nonsense – perhaps you could ask him for more information?
Thank you for contributing.

Dear Miss Glenda: Kindly refrain from posting gibberish on — does not like it when people waste interwebs bandwidth. Your cooperation will be appreciated.
