The Ladies Lounge - What’s on your mind?

[starlight]

To add, I can’t edit the other post since it exceeded the 60 minutes, so here is the updated version (What I added I put in bold):

You do not know me and what I have been through and what I have seen in my life. I am being vigilant. There is real evil out there and I am not going to have a superficial piety, not saying you do but it appears that way, just making you aware. Then behave hypocritical and self-righteous by accusing others of being “judgmental.” By this logic accusing someone of being judgmental is being judgmental in itself, here appears to be implied to mean this in a negative way.

“I don’t know a person’s heart.” Please, this is intuition and vigilance. Please take out your Bible and read John 7:24 AND I Kings 3:9 about how We are to judge.

Defending and siding with evil and people who willingly reject Christ “Because we are all sinners (clutches pearls)”, while opposing people who willingly accept Christ and being vigilant against evil. God KNOWS a person’s true heart AND He is watching.

Look Starlight, please forgive me for coming off like this but I am trying to see you to understand the reasoning here. To suggest this “we‘re all sinners, then protect and side with the “poor and “lost“ people” who do intentional malice to others, how dare you judge them.” Seriously what would Jesus do. Again, John 7:24 AND I Kings 3:9

Here is more scripture that specifically pertains to what and everything I wrote in the two posts that were back to back and what you quoted from me: Matthew 5:22, Proverbs 13:21, Ecclesiastes 10:12-14, Proverbs 12:18, Colossians 3:7-8, Ephesians 4:29-30

Like I mentioned before I did not want to get into some heavy discussions here. My posts were within the reasons of Christ’s examples and teachings but someone had to be “pious” and knock it and not getting the overall message, so I needed to defend it righteously and even include Biblical scripture to defend what I said.

*Also note how I did not target any specific person in my original posts, while the person replying did accuse me directly of “judgmental“ behaviour in a not positive way.

I’m really sorry… I think in my brevity that I wasn’t succinct enough. I was just meaning that “judging” whether someone is a “sincere Christian” or not is not our call to make... That is up to God… that is what my initial post was referring to. We *cannot* determine whether a person is a “true/sincere” Christian.

We should absolutely call out right and wrong and help keep our Christian brothers and sisters on the straight and narrow path by holding each other accountable for our behaviors and actions. We should use discernment regarding people we choose to engage with, absolutely.

I don’t know you, I don’t pretend to. You don’t know me either. We all struggle with something. I screw up all the time but I love God and Jesus… and honestly feel like I’m in a perpetual state of repentance.

If, for you, a person calling someone “stupid” means they aren’t “sincerely Christian,” I would be careful. That’s all I’m trying say.

I want to buy summa that grass-fed beef online, but it has to be the real deal and I no longer trust many businesses to actually tell the truth. Also, I think the whole mRNA vax thing for livestock news is just a way to scare us out of eating meat. Why do they want us off meat so bad?

Meat is the only truly nutritious food.

Maybe so. Do you think most people will worship the Antichrist in the end? Since most human systems have an antichrist-type spirit anyway.

Also, is it normal to feel a bit "electrified" when one is praying the Rosary? I find that when I'm praying especially devotedly, I feel a tingling sensation from my scalp to my feet. ?

Do you do food prep? Beef is pretty simple to preserve.

I don't do much food prep and eating mostly meat is the simplest and most minimalistic diet I've ever been on.

As for your other questions, I'm not sure if they were directed at me, based on what I posted about meat? But- sadly, I think that most will worship the Anti-christ because it seems that they already blindly follow along. However, I do hope that God has mercy and somehow does not allow the majority of people to fall in that manner. But I don't know how I would know. As for the Rosary, I'm ashamed to admit that it's been awhile since I"ve prayed the Rosary or even prayed especially devotedly, but I have gotten a similar feeling before through prayer.

Happy Thanksgiving!

There are lots of prayers besides the Rosary. St. Thérèse was never devoted to it, and she became holy.

Glad to know someone else has had similar experiences during prayer.

I agree, too, that God's mercy would be the best gift in the face of the worship of the Antichrist.

Do you work out or anything? I walk a lot and do calisthenics. Lots of stretching.

I had posted on the old forum right before the shift, about how my ex-FIL (kids' grandpa) had some bogus accusations/charges thrown at him by the family of the woman he was recently/briefly married to (her cognition was declining and it looks like her family wanted to take her money and put her in a home).

Have been preoccupied with that nonsense for a while.

It remains a very sad situation with a sad outcome, but I'm pleased to say, at least, that the charges have all been dismissed.

One thing I've noticed surging lately is that people are being quick to sue each other. It's the new "revenge" that also has the added bonus of making them money.

I remember what you posted on the old forum about that situation so it's good to hear that the charges have been dropped.

People will often sue a company, knowing that they will lose, just to get a “go away” settlement. It’s cheaper to pay that, than the attorney fees actually fighting a case.

Finally got a good rhythm with our homeschooling curriculum. Didn’t like one specific one, so cobbled one together from Singapore Math, Well-Trained Mind, Handwriting Without Tears, and some Orthodox material. Really pleased with the outcome so far, but it sure is hard keeping a toddler and a baby occupied, along with balancing all the other house duties.

Something triggered the worst eczema I’ve ever had (I was on IV antibiotics for a couple days many months ago). I cut out all sugar, processed foods, and enriched flour from my diet… it’s gotten better but not all the way. Still doing research into the GAPS diet and Sally Fallon’s series on traditional diets.

I cut out every processed food from my diet for over a month and my eczema is totally gone! I shed so much baby weight too. Still not sure what triggered it, but I stay away from gluten (specifically the synthetically “enriched” flours), sugary foods, etc and replaced 1 meal with a smoothie and so far so good. No topical steroids or anything. It sucked for about 3 weeks, but after reading about the gut > eczema connection, I figured there was no point in suppressing a process my body was bent on completing. It was like a cleansing process. My skin is now super clear, I’ve never had bad acne but now I barely take care of my skin at all and it looks the same as when I was using expensive skin products like Drunk Elephant. Many people have commented on the difference.

Here is my go-to smoothie recipe:

- 1-2 cups of frozen fruit
- 1/2 cup raw kefir
- raw, grass fed milk as liquid; as much as needed
- splash of orange juice
- splash of Lakewood cranberry blend juice
- couple handfuls of whatever salad mix I have, sometimes frozen kale
- 2 TBS chia seeds
- 1 TBS flax seeds
- 2 scoops Perfect Supplements Collagen (check them out, very clean)
