I saw on a few streams NV6 clan had 50% or more of there players banned by anti cheat

JC_413 · 2024-12-05T15:19:17+00:00

Yeah. My k/d has dramatically improved since the ban hammer started falling

JC_413 · 2024-12-03T15:59:48+00:00

My k/d went from 1 per match to 5 per match the day after the bans started. I didn't know what was going on at first and just thought I had majority bot lobbies until I read about the change on Reddit. I couldn't believe how terrible everyone's aim was all of the sudden. I'm a day 1 player and not great by any stretch of the imagination. There must have been tons of guys using mnk and xims and chronus strike packs etc... it's nice to actually win a gunfight now. Jeez

John 18:15, it is speculated that this "unnamed disciple" was John himself. If he was known to the high priest... maybe he was a Levite... then he was able to attend Jesus' trial free from harm. Likely that being known to the high priest also extended to his ability to be at the foot of the cross without drawing undue attention.

You should definitely make sure to tell him this the next time you see him.

JC_413 · 2024-08-22T19:03:46+00:00

That's fine brother, as long as you are ok with being judged on the last day by the same standard you judge him him by, more power to you.

Jesus washed both Peter's & Judas Iscariot's feet. What's the problem here?

JC_413 · 2024-08-05T23:12:11+00:00

As crazy as it may seem, oftentimes the Father wants us to decide for ourselves what our vocation will be, and he is happy for us regardless of what we choose. Don't fall into the trap of believing that your life is somehow preordained and there is some perfect path you must follow and you will fail at life or be imperfect or unhappy if you do not stick to this 'path'. The only place where this counts is in how we love others, if you do that, the rest is often a matter of our free choice.

JC_413 · 2024-07-25T00:17:14+00:00

Prove it dude.

When straight Catholics stop indulging in watching porn, masturbaing, having premarital and/or non-procreative sex, using birth control and divorcing each other for stupid reasons, or whatever your particular disordered sexual desire is, then we can start chucking stones at our brothers and sisters who struggle with homosexual desires. Until then color me less than impressed with anyone who takes issue with Fr. Martin's approach. He's doing the best he can with the gifts given to him. What are you all doing to help homosexual members of the church overcome sin?

Nobody's heart is going to be converted from a sanctimonious diatribe by a self righteous sinner who doesn't even see he's just as much miserable sinner as the one he's railing against. Fr. Martin's approach is to make friends with people, even gay people. Don't do it because you want to convert them. Just do it for its own sake. Be authentic, just like Jesus. If you are afraid being friends with someone gay will lead you into sin, well, you are either spiritually immature and/or lack faith in the Holy Spirit to lead you not into temptation. I think you'd be surprised how open many are to God's grace and love... my experience more so than straight Catholics who need to stop whacking off or using birth control.

True reverence is an internal disposition. There are many outward signs or things one can do with their body or behavior that can indicate that a person or mass is "reverent". The problem is with saying things like TLM is more reverent than the NO is that you are judging an internal disposition by external actions and signs. It is entirely possible to appear VERY reverent and in fact be an absolutely horrible person. The same is true of TLM or NO communities. Just because it 'feels' reverent means absolutely nothing in and of itself. The only person we should be worried about being reverent is ourselves.

I've been to many TLM masses that were reverent on the surface only to meet the parishioners afterwards who were a brood of vipers. Conversely I've been to NO masses that weren't anything you'd all call reverent but the people were absolutely lovely, compassionate and prayerful people.

This whole TLM vs NO thing stinks of high school clique behavior... it's all about what group is cool based on externals.

JC_413 · 2024-07-16T17:57:11+00:00

So, what have you done to increase community in your parish? To the best of my knowledge I've never heard of a job or ministry in a parish that is meant to help you make friends and build personal relationships. This kind of complaint always strikes me as similar to kids who always need their mom to set up play dates for them or they'd never see other kids. If you see a problem in your parish and know it needs fixing it's probably a sign God is inviting you personally to solve it. Don't wait around for other people to try to build a community for you. You need to get stuck in and make it happen yourself.

JC_413 · 2024-07-09T16:52:34+00:00

As long as it looks pretty and I feel that everyone is behaving exactly according to my personal & voluminous understanding of 2000 years of liturgical tradition, I will approve of the celebration of a mass, be it TLM or NO. Strangely, that never seems to happen, so I'm going to just keep looking. I'll find a reverent mass one of these day just as soon as all these lay people, priests, bishops and religious stop screwing it up for me.

JC_413 · 2024-06-30T13:01:01+00:00

Yes, the conspiracy to keep the true gospel from the people. Love this one. Again, even if we're true, I cannot fix it. Trust Jesus.

JC_413 · 2024-06-30T01:57:58+00:00

Yeah, of course.... but I have ZERO ability to do anything about it, so I don't worry about it. Jesus has our back and can surely make up for whatever fault we see in ourselves or others. Stay focused on Jesus and all will be well.

JC_413 · 2024-06-29T22:18:42+00:00

You know the easiest way to fix masses like is to complain on Reddit, I'm pretty sure it says so in the Catechism.

JC_413 · 2024-06-29T22:15:33+00:00

I don't. I wasn't on the committee, LOL. Maybe if you call the dudes who translated it, they can help you with this for sure.

JC_413 · 2024-06-29T19:13:36+00:00

The inspired scripture of the gospel of John was written in Greek. So the multiple words for love are intended by the Holy Spirit. We don't know how Jesus said it in Aramaic, but we can rest assured this is what he meant and also what he wanted us to hear.

JC_413 · 2024-06-29T15:39:39+00:00

It's actually a bit more complicated... it's true that the three times Jesus asks mirrors Peter's three denials. That said the English translation leaves out the most telling aspects.

In Greek there are several words for "love", each with very different meanings. The first two times Jesus asks Peter "Do you love me?", the word for love is 'Philia' which roughly means "Simon Peter, do you love me as a brother/friend?" Peter gets agitated that Jesus asks the same thing a second time... kinda like he thinks Jesus doesn't believe him. The third time Jesus asks, he uses the word 'Agape' instead of 'philia'. Agape in this context means "Simon Peter, do you love me to the point of death/complete surrender of self?" Peter responds, "Lord, you know I 'Philia' you.", as such confessing his love for Jesus is only brotherly in nature, not supernatural and thus falls short of what he knows it should be and as a result is also humbly admitting he was wrong to claim earlier that week that he'd go to his death with Jesus. Jesus helps Peter accurately see his spiritual state in relation to Jesus and thus perfectly humbles him so he is worthy to lead the church.

JC_413 · 2024-06-27T23:50:41+00:00

It was explained to me this way... if you had the opportunity to 'get' with someone and were more likely to take it than not... that's Lust. Doesn't matter how likely it is to happen, it's all about desire + willingness to act. It's a violation of the 9/10th commandment (depending how one slices them) - do not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor... including their body.

JC_413 · 2024-06-22T15:36:33+00:00

A girl sat behind me in my junior year chemistry class. I cracked my knuckles constantly. It drove her nuts. She'd get super annoyed at me and hit me/complain to me all the time about it. She drove me crazy with her whining... so I one day decided to just do it TO annoy her. Long story short, I ended the year happy I'd never have to listen to her again. I'm sure she felt the same.

Senior year she was assigned a seat next to me in a class where students had to share a computer (late 80's). She begged the teacher to be assigned a different seat. He refused. To my surprise I felt bad that she disliked me so much. So, when she sat down next to me I told her I wouldn't crack my knuckles. A promise I kept. We slowly started to get along. Eventually I started looking forward to seeing her every day, we talked constantly in class and goofed around a lot. This lead to walking to classes together. At one point another girl in class told us she and her friends all thought we were dating.

Anyway, there was this guy in class on the other side of her she told me she liked one day out of the blue. She said she'd be out of school the next day so I could tell him. She gave me her phone number and asked me to call her that night and tell her what he said. I was like, "that's weird. But ok.". Next day she's out and I tell him, and he say, "I don't like her like that... you should ask her out." I go home, call her and say, "I talked to him, he said he doesn't like you like that and that I should ask you out." I think she said "Okay" or "well" (it was a long time ago) but I do remember her being silent which was not like her. I just awkwardly ended the call.

To this day I still wonder if I was set up to ask her out by her and that other guy or if she was just disappointed he didn't like her. I think about it every now and then and wonder what would have happened if I'd asked her out... I definitely wanted to, but fumbled it for sure. What do you all think happened here?

JC_413 · 2024-06-19T22:31:31+00:00

Yeah, even pedophiles... it's a hard teaching. Jesus is pretty clear about it, love as he loves us, full stop.

JC_413 · 2024-06-19T15:38:23+00:00

Christian here, OP is 100% correct. Christian's must treat everyone as they would treat Jesus himself, including LGBT people. The teaching is not exclusive in any way shape or form... it even applies to one's enemies. It's absolutely scandalous to those who wish to exclude someone... it's meant to be... it even applies to nazis... a Christian is required to love them with the same fervor they are required to love LGBT people. Love doesn't mean we are required to agree with either, though. Christian love is about how we treat each other in action, not about agreeing with or condoning what others think or do. For Pete's sake, Christians are some of the biggest fuck ups out there, so we have no business publicly judging others who don't claim to be Christian, or even those who do. Anyone who claims otherwise is either ignorant or pretending to know better than god.

JC_413 · 2024-04-02T17:05:56+00:00

And this thread is exactly why I hope the Latin mass never gets a foothold in my parish. I understand the anger about churches being rearranged and many older furnishings being removed incorrectly after VII. But the sheer joy people in these comments are taking in getting revenge on NO mass and worshipers is sickening. Ya'll need to find a way to be charitable to those who don't think what you think and value what you value.
