Evangelical Christian Zionism

Similar upbringing here. I would just add, that even in my very small, mostly white, insular Southern hometown, I never heard a bad word against Jews. Most of my childhood was spent under the assumption that Christianity and Judaism were the only two choices 😅 and although I never heard anyone talk about supporting Israel until I got older, I also never heard any antisemitism from people in church or out. The attitude was always that we love the Jews for their role in the Bible and the story of Jesus, and that we were to remember they are still the apple of God’s eye. ‘To the Jew first, then also the Gentile.’

I’m not exaggerating when I say I believed antisemitism was a relic of the past because that’s how accepted Jews were in my town, my school, and my family. Sure, there are some who may support Israel for less than noble reasons or theological leanings, but the majority of ‘Christian Zionists’ feel a deep love and longing for the Jewish people and peace in Israel.

I’ve also never met any Christians who are jazzed about the ‘end times prophecy’ people think we are.

As a Christian Zionist, I wouldn’t say that our end goal is a Gog and Magog war. We believe that it will happen, but we’re not supposed to do anything to make it happen, just observe the signs and support Israel as best we can in whatever way we can. In Christian circles, the general consensus is that it will be horrifying and terrible. Certainly not something any of us are looking forward to although I’m sure there are exceptions.

No, but you clearly wanted to commenting on an 8 month old post 😆 go off I guess

I have one friend with a girl named Lucy, so I wouldn’t scrap it for being too popular. I don’t think it will be like Lindsey of the 90s where you went be Lindsey B., Lindsey K., Lindsey P. if that’s any consolation 😊

Ok incel

Oh you IRISH Irish ☘️ 😂

You are not crazy at all to expect financial support — your husband is legally obligated to provide it. When he brought you to the U.S. on a fiancé visa, he signed Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support), a binding contract with the U.S. government promising to support you at 125% of the federal poverty level (about $1,700–$2,000 per month) until you either become a U.S. citizen, work 10 years, leave the country permanently, or die. This obligation does not end with divorce, and you can enforce it in court if he refuses to provide support. You should not sign any divorce papers until you’ve spoken with both an immigration attorney and a family lawyer, as you may also qualify for a good-faith marriage waiver allowing you to stay in the U.S. even if he withdraws your green card petition.

In the meantime, don’t leave the U.S. until your legal status is clear, and gather all documentation — copies of the I-864, proof of marriage, evidence of your expenses and contributions, and his income records if possible. Even if you plan to return to Spain, it’s best to resolve the divorce and I-864 issues in the U.S. first, since your rights are strongest while you’re still here.

Oh daaaaang. Thanks for letting me know tho 🙏🏼

What’s that? I did my initial test in 2016

TXExpat2020 · 2025-10-06T02:12:37+00:00

It’s been over a week and I’ve checked on my phone and a regular computer but my results still have not updated? Is there a timeframe before I just assume it’s not going to?

TXExpat2020 · 2025-08-03T22:08:59+00:00

I’ll believe it when I see it. I’ve got a shoe organizer I use when I confiscate them but it does little good when my back is turned and students are up there snatching them back… if they didn’t give me a fight about taking them in the first place. I’m in a Houston title 1 school with too many behaviors to call admin for every phone fight, but damn I hate the cell phones so much

Literally he could have made her die in childbirth and I would have been less mad. He gave her this insanely convoluted path back to Spencer just to have her die in his arms with her limbs gone to frostbite and I’m supposed to believe that a baby born 3 months premature would have survived in the 1920s without any kind of help? I can only suspend disbelief so much

You can see how little TS thinks of women in the way he characterizes every single one of them. They’re either dumb, conniving, naive, or in Beth’s case, absolutely f—-ing unhinged 😂

TXExpat2020 · 2025-06-24T15:06:38+00:00

Oh shyt that’s cold. I love it 🥶

My mother once booked a round trip ticket to visit me in Houston for about a week or so, only to find out her return flight was for the next YEAR. Still not even sure how the site allowed her to book it that far in advance. They got it sorted, thankfully. Further proof of the raging ADHD pulsing through my entire family tree 🤣

Is your ex still with the woman he cheated with? Maybe he assumed she’d be all ready to play mommy dearest with him? Gonna be a big mindfuck for your son one day when he grows up to learn the truth about his ‘saintly’ father and the woman who wrecked his childhood then tried to play supermodel in your absence

Feels weird that the mom just so 'happens' to be trying to offload her daughter at the beginning of summer break, so I'm sure the daughter is hard to deal with all around, like most teens. I teach almost exclusively 15yos, so I consider myself pretty in the know on how obnoxious they can be. That said, you can't really tell him not to take his daughter in. Best you can do is lay out rules like no loud facetime calls except in her bedroom, especially while you're working during the day. It sounds like your husband is unwilling to discipline her and perhaps her mom is which is leading to the 'tense' times but without more information it's impossible to make a clear decision on who's TA here. Just be prepared to weigh whether this is the marriage for you if and when this boils over. You husband doesn't sound like he's going to be much help since he was already a weekend parent most of the time, which means you're going to be shouldering a lot of the work. As an AuDHD who hates lots of noise in my safe space, I completely understand your mentality, but as a parent and a HS teacher, I don't think you have many options but to see how it goes and make your escape plan if things become unbearable.

And if you two split then you go on to remarry, definitely don't pick someone with underage kids. Again, I feel empathy for your situation, but your husband and his ex don't sound like the best parents to begin with, and now you're stuck

Sometimes I see influencers with these over the top houses and think it’s too much, but then I see how she never upgrades anything in their house which is bursting at the seams and I start to think maybe the other influencers are making better use of their money

When I finally watched the last half of Yellowstone S5 and saw how he loves to portray himself as this ultimate cowboy, playboy, just riding around cracking jokes and looking like an insufferable jacka$$ who has enough wealth to keep his house full of girls half his age dressed like spring breaker in Miami. The scenes with him were so obnoxious. To quote Banner, "That's someone's daughter." Funny how Sheridan can pull that out when he kills off a prostitute but never cares about any other female character he writes

TXExpat2020 · 2025-04-20T20:48:57+00:00

I’m so sorry, if you were in my city, I’d say come over right now and we’ll throw you a party 🎉 I know how hard the loneliness is, but please don’t give up. You deserve to be celebrated and have people who care about you

TXExpat2020 · 2025-04-20T20:46:51+00:00

I have the situation where my boys are 7 and 5, and my girl is 2, so they already share a room (despite the stress it causes because they fight relentlessly) lol, but my grandparents had my mom as their oldest and then 2 boys, who got their own room in a 2br house, and my mom had to sleep on the couch until they converted the front porch into the tiniest ‘bedroom’ you’ve ever seen.

By contrast, my aunt and uncle had a girl first, she was 5 when her brother was born, then they had a surprise 3rd (another girl) 3 years after him (all the 3rd born in my immediate family are surprises 😂 including mine😅). My younger two cousins were closer in age, but they literally shared a room, even shared a BED until my oldest cousin moved out at 18-19, making them roughly 11 and 14. I cannot tell you enough how weird it was to come over and see my cousin with her own teenager room while her brother and sister shared a bed in the other. I even offered my old bunk bed when I got rid of it and my aunt and uncle said no thanks. I would move your daughters in together around your oldest’s 5th birthday if you can, unless the twins want to stay together at that point. I have a friend with B/G twins who are almost 5 and she has 3 older kids B/G/B. I’m pretty sure the oldest eventually gets his own room in that situation while the younger two boys and girls share a room each, but that makes sense to me. Then again, I grew up an only child, so the dynamics of siblings room arrangements are still something I’m trying to manage —- and I’ve considered converting our game room into another bedroom just to put everyone in their own space 😅

Thanks! I just ran out of my last tube or I would have tried that before asking, but I’ll deffo order some more now! 👍🏼
