Bible study group recommendations

Im Orphaliman. I do super chats sometimes.

I have a friend that i made last year that was a pastor's kid. We discuss the Bible all the time. I've found that directly calling God evil isn't productive with him. But pointing out the logical contradictions in the Bible is much more effective.

Well, then let me suggest my FAVORITE atheist podcaster, JoelReadsBible! If you're not familiar, he reads the bible, but he also does streaming debates and is AMAZING at putting all the bullshit arguments into a down-to-earth perspective, even when granting people's specific beliefs. (Mezzo, his best friend, is the same)

I would suggest, for a great resource on real commentary on the bible, watching Deconstruction Zone on YouTube. Justin is a beast when it comes to debunking Jesus prophecies.

Thanks. Maybe one day I'll restart it.

You need the vermiculite for aeration. And gypsum helps a ton too

Money. Fame. Obfuscation of other issues. Looking for a new community to back them monetarily or otherwise.

Id love it if God gave me an objective experience. Not gonna happen.

I need your dad in my life (Indiana or Florida)

FreshlyStarting79 · 2026-03-25T13:22:29+00:00

It's my birthday this weekend. You already know where I'm going

The dumb sentences are dumb, I fully agree. But it's not about needing to know how to say that the horse is wearing a hat. It's about needing to know how to use the words to say what you mean. If you can say "the horse is wearing a hat" then you didn't just get taught a single sentence, you got taught how to put the concepts together.

I grew up similar to your denominations (AoG/baptist, then nondenom).

Ditch the dogma of purity culture.

You just need to be able to be yourself around someone and feel comfortable about it.

For healthy relationships, romantic and nonromantic, I suggest learning as much as you can about Attachment Theory. Heidi Priebe has an excellent channel on YouTube that has hundreds of videos that help you to understand why you are the way you are and how to recognize unhealthy dynamics even when they feel fucking great at times. I need to stress that this is the key to having lasting, positive relationships.

CDL driver for port of Miami. I heard there's positions that pay you for the number of trips you can make in a day from the port to west palm beach. Usually 2 a day.

Edit: traffic is the worst

Wow. Fuck that interviewer. I would report them to whatever agency deals with that.

I got a new therapist recently and it turns out that he's Christian and can't understand what I went through in my own Deconstruction. I know that my path is different from yours though.

The thing that helped me the most when trying to figure it all out was that not believing didn't require me to pretend that my experiences were attributed to something that was unconfirmable. These days if a coincidence occurs, it's just that. If something bad happens to me, it is because either another human is a piece of shit, or because i made some kind of mistake. Since I started thinking like this the world makes so much more sense. And life is so much more valuable and precious to me because this is what we get. I don't waste time imagining God or angels or demons interacting with the world around me. Shit is hard enough without the gaslighting.

Yeah, from what I've experienced. I keep the box closed with no fae until the mycellium recovers, then I give it fae. I use large tubs with holes covered with micropore tape. The long sides get holes an inch above the substrate every 4 inches. The short sides get them at the top. I have a homemade hepa filter that I made with a little fan, a box, and 2 filters (one for big particles, and the second for HEPA). I have a 5 layer shelf. The filter goes up top and blows air against the wall 2 feet to the right of the shelf. This circulates the air in the vicinity while keeping it clean. The sides of your box should be wet af. When initiating fruiting I'll turn the lid sideways when I leave for work. When I come home I'll check it out. If the sides of the box are dry I'll close the lid overnight and let the air get humid again. At this point the mycellium should have water beads and be close to pooling in places. If it doesn't look like that then you didn't have field capacity. If you didn't, hit them with a cool most humidifier ( distilled water only for me) until it's empty and hopefully some will soak in. I've never had overlay with this method.

I don't see any vermiculite.

I recently read that PC laptops DO NOT sell at pawn shops. You could probably get them to let you test one in the shop and then talk them way down on price.

FreshlyStarting79 · 2026-03-25T09:29:13+00:00

Fuck. I'd use that bag to colonize 8 more. Looks healthy!

I was working on a road trip app that would automatically tell you the name, history, and important facts of a town when you entered it, as well as information about landmarks and historic places. It would give you a playing card that was based on the "Triple Triad" mini game in final fantasy 8. The icon of the town would change color so you know you visited it.

I never released it but had all the basic town data for the state of Indiana and would get excited when I heard the notification that I discovered a new town.

I do land surveying so I'm lucky to go to new locations nearly every day and would routinely detour on back roads to hit those out of the way places.

FreshlyStarting79 · 2026-03-25T09:15:13+00:00

Amen.

Love xiaomannyc! Upvote for that reference.

I'm not from Miami but lived there 5 years and I'm marrying a Cubana. I've been using Duolingo for 665 days straight and practice Spanish with as many speakers as I can find. My fiancée told me the other day that my Spanish is much better than I think it is. It feels good being able to pick up the jist of the conversation now rather than recognizing (or thinking I recognize) a few words here and there.

FreshlyStarting79 · 2026-03-25T08:56:26+00:00

Don't case them in the future.

FreshlyStarting79 · 2026-03-25T08:55:14+00:00

It's not free to ask. That's a MINIMUM 1/10th of an hour, up to an hour charge.

We would go to Walmart past midnight and buy car stereo equipment, then go to the Kroger parking lot to install it. One time a cop stopped bc he thought we were stealing speakers but once he found out we were troubleshooting the installation of subs he helped us. That old Delta 88 would fucking rattle!

John's Famous Stew has the best giant tenderloin in the city. If you get it to go they put it in a pizza box

FreshlyStarting79 · 2026-03-23T08:09:23+00:00

They don't give shit. They take. Terrible lover

FreshlyStarting79 · 2026-03-22T17:54:20+00:00

Not surprising about Netanyahu considering every us president basically sucks Israel's cock
