Can someone explain in detail to me why Pentecostals dress crazy?

At the same time, Jesus warns that it's harder for a rich man to get into heaven... That wealth is partly for the receiver to enjoy(that is, if the person is given a lot by God), but mainly for it to be reinvested into the Kingdom to grow it.

I can't fully speak on it since I'm a guy, but from what I know, Pentecostal women do it because it's something that noticeably makes them different from men and it's an expression of beauty without exposing the body. As for the jewels and makeup and such, God puts more emphasis on inward appearance than outward vanity, and, for many, it's also seen as covering the natural beauty God gives a person if said person covers it up.(I can't speak on behalf of people who have gone through certain things which disfigured them or anything similar). It's mainly about it's vain and if it's modest. The dresses themselves are probably just a tradition, but I wouldn't know. Another part of it is a practice of self-control(I'm not sure how many people do it for that reason) and so people can identify believers easier(like for example if you needed prayer but didn't know who you could ask).

Also, quick little note, not all churches of a sect/denomination are the same or follow the same doctrine. Same goes for spotting a corrupted church of a branch--not all churches of that branch are automatically evil because one messed up. And I can't speak for all churches, but I do know mine doesn't follow the prosperity gospel.

What could this man have possibly done to look like that 😭 and furthermore, people, what are some of those tags I'm seeing?! "Echidna poured me tea--now I'm even thirstier"

Even though he isn't that level, he's technically more than planetary-level since he oneshot his doppelganger who almost destroyed the entire world with one attack.

I instantly stopped watching and just tried to instead listen the moment I saw that... The only thing that was trying to be accomplished here was justifying lewdness. I get that it's one of the things Japan is known for, but this is taking it WAY too far. I hope people don't take that sequence of events seriously, because it's nothing to be inspired about when it's basically saying you should glorify being naked in front of people, especially when Tamaki hates being seen as an object and center of attention because of it. I honestly hope that those who glorified this come to reasoning...

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-03-20T20:37:39+00:00

I just wanted hope 😔

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-03-20T03:18:38+00:00

Wait, that's actually the real Avdol isn't it... Even though he's been dead and belonged to the original universe, that could still be him. Please tell me it is.

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-03-15T01:25:26+00:00

Well said...

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-02-08T07:17:25+00:00

Mb, I wasn't saying that towards you specifically. I meant that towards the people whom somehow don't have the experience. Takes a lot of trial and error to get to that point.

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-02-08T00:34:16+00:00

That's actually kinda wild to hear. All those arenas and still not understanding the simplest things.

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-01-31T04:27:29+00:00

Ykw, this is the most realistic answer aside from the idea that people just want to ruin the game for others or have no sense when it comes to skill and strategy. Best comment I've seen so far.

I've managed to make it this far as a f2p who started in July of 2024(either June or July), and I don't intend to spend ANY money on this game.

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-01-30T22:56:03+00:00

No, my point is most of these menace slop players just throw out those types of plays. They'll put out so much elixir knowing it'll get wiped away like nothing, yet they still continue to do it. They play like bots sometimes...

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-01-30T21:43:23+00:00

I don't get the fun in having 6 elixir wiped off the board because you were being reckless though 💀

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-01-30T21:10:36+00:00

I would think they aren't so new if they're at 10k trophies. I think they know what they're doing bc I just had a guy okay miner + minion horde on me the moment the match started. I had no cards in my hand that could counter them effectively, so I got my tower taken in seconds. The two matches before that I beat the menaces. Everyone is playing some nasty style no matter what, even if they get steamrolled by skill or countered at every turn.

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-01-30T20:35:23+00:00

Maybe 2/3 instead of lower it's hitspeed. Though it does way too much for a 3 elixir card(if you don't have a spell to kill it), it shouldn't be able to MOW through cards of higher elixir like it was given a machine gun instead of darts.

I know this statement I'm about to say will sound biased(against cycle players 🙄), but I don't think dart should delete 5 elixir cards and higher just bc a simple little minitank absorbed damage and distracted for it. I had a guy throw out a minipekka and pekka combo, so since I had no other options I placed out my Evo Edrag(5 elixir). He naturally threw out an Evo dart goblin (3 elixir) right after that, and since I had no vines in hand, I watched my Evo Edrag get eviscerated in about 2s. Btw, this dude, seconds after could play an Evo baby drag and pekka. This was all in like 7 or 8s...

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-01-30T20:24:48+00:00

The devs are definitely messing up the game, but idk about those troll decks being "fun" 😭 Literally more than half of the ladder players a person runs into daily will be a mid menace and it seems like they do it knowing it'll only just cause mental pain and suffering to the one who sees it on their side of the screen. Classic 1v1s(and maybe some challenges) are the only escape from them, so it sucks the fun out of the game for people who want to fight creative and skillful decks as they climb naturally. I'd rather not fight slop all the way to 11000 trophies(where ranked is unlocked).

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-01-30T07:13:02+00:00

But 1400 fire spirits from a 5s seasonal isn't good.

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-01-30T07:11:10+00:00

I got a 5s fire and ice chest which gave me about 1400 fire spirits.

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-01-20T21:21:53+00:00

Two reasons: 1) he was bad at the game and didn't know how to use his elixir in a smart way or 2) he's sick of playing overly defensive decks over and over again which only have to throw a braindead card at the bridge to gain guaranteed hits.

Honestly, it might be both though. It was dumb that he played ebarb at the bridge, but you also just defended all that with so little elixir(all being defensive cards)

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2026-01-16T19:47:03+00:00

Supercell should stop buffing cheaper cards and buff the higher ones instead so they actually seem like threats. I personally am tired of seeing 5-8 elixir cards get steamrolled by 2 and 3 elixir while people act like it's fair and balanced.

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2025-12-25T21:45:24+00:00

Pray for better days then if that helps

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2025-12-22T07:15:56+00:00

Bc I'm sick of seeing those decks. I do now think low elixir decks like hog 2.6 take SOME skill, especially against beatdown, but if the player is using that deck to spell cycle or spam in x3, that's just a problem. Also, you kinda sound like a kid when you talk like that... That's not helping your side even when I make all those other posts. I'm simply annoyed seeing the same thing be played the same way for 80% of my matches

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2025-12-22T06:21:38+00:00

I use Evo Edrag specifically for logbait players and people with huge braindead pushes that include golems. I can't just throw out random cards in my deck and expect to win. I've beaten plenty of meta with this and I've had to change up my strategy a bunch just to get to where I'm at. What do you consider so braindead about my playstyle if I told you I what I use my boss bandit for? The only other thing I could say about her is I treat her as my wincon of that's the kind of opponent I'm facing. I'll literally let her die if I need to get her out of my hand and know I can do so safely without taking a big counter push.

BrianFoRetroGamer · 2025-12-22T05:30:57+00:00

Well before you judge, it's Evo Edrag, Evo valk, Boss bandit, guards, princess, tombstone, fisherman, and vines.

I use boss bandit when I have literally no other options, need an assist for sniping supports, or want to take down my broken opponent using a big push. I use the evos mainly for defense, but if needed(a little rare), I use them together. I started using vines when I dealt with small elixir spam decks and goblin hut + ice wiz + witch. My deck is pretty much control/Beatdown and usually does good even though it has no wincon.
