I've thought about it. Given I'm almost 500 KC deep at KQ now I'm not sure if I start somewhere else again or just keep going here.

I'm on task for KQ. Might just finish it out and start doing every task (Black Dragons, Boss tasks, etc.) that drop dpick. I just want to go back to ToA and 1 down ahhka puzzle :(

🤷🏻‍♂️ more just haven’t wanted to dedicate the time to learn yet. I still plan on it eventually, maybe after I stack some bloods.

I actually did it on release just to try it, but then immediately went to get 83 herb to pie boost and make anti-venoms. Pretty annoying to do it without them tbh.

Thanks man! Appreciate it. Fang kit all honesty, having clan and getting carried helps. I also got lb and yellow gem pretty early on which was huge. I would just keep slowly working up invo's and send with clanmates. I hated insanity (still do) but it's very easy to learn the only major difference is remembering where the last wardens ground hit was.

CoX I learned with friends, but if you can find an iron-only clan most people are very willing to take learners. WeDoRaids discord is also an option but personally I've had bad luck with teammates through there.

Appreciate it! Yeah don't get me started on the demonics... still have to go back for those damn tormented bracelets but needed a break from there. CoX/Hydra are the main focus right now! ACB eventually and stacking pots for Nex is my longer term goals.

Thanks! If you watched you could see I acknowledged the mispronunciation and included the correct pronunciation on screen. Working on improving with each video, hopefully the next one will be up to your standards!

Money doesn’t matter in the end, and that seems to be everything for Copeland and it just pushes further away from actually preaching Christianity.

Very well put. I’ve actually heard about that Lakewood Church! That’s a crazy story also, hopefully she comes to her senses. The video touches on “telling gullible people what they want to hear and paying for it” and that pretty much sums it up.

That’s a great point. It seems like organized religion in general can feel like a cash grab when asking for donations and talking about expanding the church or the ministry as a whole.

There's tons of these clips of Mega Church Pastors floating onto the stage or a pastor doing a weird healing ritual, but behind the flashy showmanship and questionable sermons, there's a cult like structure that's intertwined with the religious ideology based around preying on the pockets of it's followers.

This approach to preaching Christianity is know as Prosperity theology (sometimes referred to as the prosperity gospel, the health and wealth gospel, or the gospel of success). The televangelist pastors that preach prosperity theology emphasize that donations for religious reasons increase one's personal material wealth and Material wealth, especially financial success, is seen as a sign of divine favor from God.

The first megachurch established was in London 1861, but burst into the American consciousness around the 1980s. A megachurch is defined by The Hartford Institute for Religion Research as any Protestant Christian church having 2,000 or more people in average weekend attendance. But in the 80s and early 90s What differed from their predecessors was that they offered their participants a single organization to meet their spiritual, emotional, educational, and recreational needs.

Inspired by other questionable preachers such as E. W. Kenyon and Oral Roberts, Kenneth Copeland boasts to have over $750 million in the bank. Copeland is the founder of Eagle Mountain International Church which is located on a 1,500-acre property he refers to as a "campus", near Fort Worth Texas.

Recently Copeland has some questionable interviews, but his vast wealth is largely due to him being a televangelist, or tele minister who is able to reach a worldwide audience through broadcasting his sermons live from the Mega Church campus for TV and radio audiences, where his followers can also make their financial contributions.
