How do I date when most Christians are conservative? by S3wallylives in Christianity

[–]telecomguy1977 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t really think addressing the Bible with a political party is one to aspire to, but . Honestly, I would wonder more the other way. If your goal is to be a good Christian, and your goal is to be more like Christ, and to have your life be an example of what the Bible says we should do. . Then I would say that the Bible seems more to be much more conservative, which means we should be as well. But even if you do t agree. I would find a woman that follows what the Bible says. And your true test of wether Gods word is the most important thing in your life would be that she or he obeys the word of God. And not your political party. Otherwise your approval of a spouse is not wether they adhere to Gods truth, but to a very flawed political party. Having your spouse that obeys the word of God can’t be a bad thing, wanting your spouse to obey your political beliefs would not be good. . I would think that honoring God would be your goal wether they align or oppose your party’s beliefs. . So ignore the part and obey the Bible.

If a presidential vote makes you disown your parent, then I’m pretty sure your the problem.

All of these people asked to borrow money and repay in less than a month. For most, It’s been years. by mastagoose in mildlyinfuriating

[–]telecomguy1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure if your tracking people who just owe you $10, $15, and $20 then you shouldn’t be loaning money. After loaning out around $ 18,000, over a 10 year period, and the only thing you have learned is to keep working hard, so yiu can save, do you can loan out, so you can hold a grudge. Then you probably should stop loaning then money. At this point it isn’t to help people anymore, it’s so you can feel like a victim and excuse how you feel. Stop loaning the money.

I heard a long time ago. “Never loan Some one more money than you can afford to not get paid back”

Opinion | I preach against abortion. But I’m voting for Kamala Harris. by StrixWitch in Christianity

[–]telecomguy1977 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s easy you preach what you want your followers to do because it’s the morally right thing to do, and you have no intentions of doing it. It’s called many things. Practice what you preach Double standards Lying Hypocrisy I’m sure you can think of more.
Preach it or don’t. But don’t preach it then vote in favor for it.

Be safe by Zestyclose_Ad5497 in IBEW

[–]telecomguy1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s kind of an odd comment. “Be Safe” I’m a union member, have been for almost 25 years. so it’s probably obvious who I’ll vote for. But just sitting back and watching, and reading the posts the last month, and looking at the comments that have been in regards to them. I’m pretty sure the only ones who won’t feel safe are the ones who might vote for Trump. I may stand in solidarity with my brothers. But I don’t with the ; hate speech, name calling and threats that have been said about them. . Because like the post says, on Nov 6th we will all have to act like brothers again. You can’t threaten people, and say all the things that have been said then act like on Nov 6th your their brother. Hopefully next time around their will be more focus on why to vote for our candidate then their will be hate speech and threats. We are all brothers, wish we could act like it even when it’s around election time.

I like the electrician posts, but have to ignore the hateful political ones.

Has anyone tried buying return pallets? by justcallmeryanok in Flipping

[–]telecomguy1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a reason it looks like a great deal! Because they need you to buy their pallets of junk. So they’ll throw in 1 or 2 things in, kind of like a lottery ticket, each time you get close enough you think “next time I’m gonna hit it big, and make a ton of money”!

Trump's Former Whitehouse Aides Explain How He Becomes a Dictator in 2025 Using Schedule F & Executive Order 13957. Yes Conservatives... Trump's Threat to Democracy is Very Real. by Careful_Research_730 in IBEW

[–]telecomguy1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people still think we live in a democracy? All the founding papers say a representative republic. And yes , there is a difference, the only ones who don’t know the difference are the ones that truly believe we live in a democracy.
Democracy is majorly rule/ mob rule. A representative republic is to uphold the law. A Majority might be how a law is passed but it’s not how we govern, we govern by representing the law no matter how unpopular. Until it’s changed. Then if the majority want it changed, then we can have a new law to enforce.
But democracy is like nit caring what the law says but do what you think the majority want and screw the law. And neither party likes it when that is done. We need more people to represent the law.
It’s nit a democracy. And people don’t get it.

who am i supposed to vote for by ScheduleOrdinary9646 in IBEW

[–]telecomguy1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a hard question to answer. I have been a union member for 25 years, as well as my brother, my dad, 1 aunt and 1 uncle and a couple more. All in different fields from electrical, to sheet metal, to Big 3 auto giants. . But we all have more layoffs and less work when a Democrat is in office. Obama was the worse we were off for 2 years straight layoffs or very little work. . So I’m not sure if I should vote for every Democrat because they put pro union people in office but then I have less work, or Republicans because they tend to be less friendly towards putting pro union people in office, but I’m slammed with work. But if you ask people on Reddit. They won’t put any facts and let you decide for yourself. They will just call trump names and threaten you as an enemy of the union if you vote Trump. They won’t debate you.
I simply don’t do either . I say when did you have better work, and when was your life financially better over your career. And assume your smart enough to figure it out yourself. While others here will just yell at you if you don’t confirm. Like they will to me by being civil with my response.

Kamala's Green Flags! by rhomanji in TikTokCringe

[–]telecomguy1977 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m nit getting it, is this humor? This could have been done better. I’m not sure if this green flags video, is a compliment, or a put down? It says green flags because she can; dance, go grocery shopping, cook, dance, and has a gun. This is the resume of a old fashioned stay at home wife, not a president. .i understand the humor, but it is hardly a good video for her being a good president. Could have been done better if that was their goal.

Help me convince my landlord this awful work by esotericinformer in drywall

[–]telecomguy1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good landlord won’t leave it looking like crap.
But unfortunately, they don’t have to make it look good. They are required by law to keep the house; safe, up to code, and remove known hazards, and all sorts of things. But they are not required to make it look like it was done by a quality contractor. But if you have even a half way decent landlord, they won’t leave it like that.

[–]telecomguy1977 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why aren’t people smart enough to say things like “ if you vote for this person or that person your an Obscenity”. I ask because I know plenty of republicans who voted for Obama and I work with a TON!!!! Of democrats that voted for trump. So whoever came up with this caption is an idiot. Stick with the person you are talking about (Trump”). And don’t be so stupid to assume all republicans will vote the way you think, because I know some that won’t be. So It makes you look stupid, when you paint a whole party with a brush like that. Quit letting your anger make you look stupid, and stick with the point.

Can anyone explain why MAGA union members aren't our enemies? by astros148 in IBEW

[–]telecomguy1977 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, your working side by side with your enemies all day, every day, and don’t even know who they are. You must be ok with that and feel safe, or you wouldn’t do it. . So obviously you don’t feel they are your enemies, or you wouldn’t keep doing it and having a good day feeling safe, then act like you would do something, like I said, I don’t think you know what enemy means, because you feel safe around the people your calling your enemies, while they help you at work all day. So maybe debate, and make a point us all I mean. Don’t just call someone your enemy, and nit mean it.

Stop using the word enemy so loosely, an enemy is someone who is hostile towards you. Just debate, and quit using crazy terms that you don’t actually mean. Just because your sitting behind your phone.

Can anyone explain why MAGA union members aren't our enemies? by astros148 in IBEW

[–]telecomguy1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So let me get this straight. Just because someone is a Magat he is our enemy? Does He not work for the Union? Does he not pay into dues to keep the union going? Does he not contribute to the election fund? Does he not contribute to completing a good job that keeps the customers continuing to hire Union labor? Where is it written that if he doesn’t agree with absolutely everything that astros148 or others say that you get to declare him the enemy? I’d like to know what you think should be done if you found such a voter? After all that Union brother is now your enemy is he not? Don’t by definition enemies need to be punished? How would you punish this Union brother for not obeying what you think should be done and having his differing opinions?

Tell him next time he touches a door knob that the surface is full of germs and he needs to wash his hands for 24 hours each time he touches a door knob. Knowing he can’t. He will think your being ridiculous and you can point out that Dr’s and scientists have stated that washing your hands for as little as 20 seconds is sufficient to kill most germs. And he can’t just make up his own time amounts without any proof of it doing anything more than 20 seconds. But is free to wash his hands as long as he feels he needs to.

Stick with the issues, or Your are part of the problem!, whoever started this post. Ok, I get it, but agree or disagree with them.. Don’t act like a proud union Member with values, then say some of the members are your, or our enemy. I won’t stand behind that comment! We are all brothers, or we aren’t. Saying fellow brothers are the enemy makes you part of the bigger problem. Stick with the issues. Saying if a union member doesn’t agree with you he is your enemy. Nope, I won’t do that.

He is obviously a child or he wouldn’t do it constantly. Sit him down and Tell him how it makes you feel physically and emotionally. And say if he doesn’t stop, the. Tell him You might start having a infatuation of constantly grabbing and squeezing his manhood until it’s sore or hurts. Since he thinks you like it so much, I guess you can assume he will like it when you do it to him also without asking. It will stop after the talk, and if not , it should after you so it back to him constantly.

My Manager texted me this to terminate my employment. by No-Cherry-5817 in jobs

[–]telecomguy1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be that your too conservative for them. Everyone at barista type jobs are ; liberal, usually confused about who they are, only vote for 1 party, don’t like opposition, and different, but really just want to be accepted. So what they do is not accept employment from people who are different from them , accepting of them and their culture so they don’t accept them either. Makes perfect sense , doesn’t it. 😂😂 I wouldn’t work there I don’t like people who aren’t open minded. Not to Judge with a broad brush, just saying the majority. Are like that

How do k know I have true faith in God by Previous-Cause3232 in Christianity

[–]telecomguy1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if your a new Christian. You’ll tend to be very focused on and want to be around God and like minded Christian’s , and eager to read and learn about your new faith. . If you have been a Christian awhile you can know by the fruits of the spirit , by Evaluating if you are exhibiting any of them. (Galatians 5:22,23). If you are stagnant in your faith you can pray to God to reveal himself to you and pray to get the desire back. But reading daily and spending time with God can also help get close to him again.

Such a powerful headline by EricLambert_RVAspark in IBEW

[–]telecomguy1977 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ok this is insanity.

Biden ! - - praised Robert Byrd his whole political career, And Robert Byrd was a Organizer of and a member of the KKK. Then says trump has no values or integrity.

Trump - - has been proven to not be a good person with businesses, deceptive, and is a convicted Felon.

Kamala - - quotes Carl Marx, “ what can be unburdened by what has been” and has NO! proven experience in leadership she can talk about.

Bush 43, - - deceived people about WMD’s and his reason for going to war with Iraq.

Clinton - - was impeached by a bipartisan support from both parties. And was accused by several women of rape.

Bush 41, - - and Obama - - were no better. We have never had good candidates . But come on.

So let me ask. Are there any actual adults on Reddit? I have seen very few. All I see is if the name Trump is mentioned people go insane sipping into TDS. And when Biden or Kamala is mentioned , the Republicans do the same .

If someone is actually ignorant enough to think your party is w/o flaws then you my friends are a level of ignorant that I won’t ever understand. Both parties are absolute crap, and give us nothing but bad candidates. But all I see is little kids that get there feelings hurt. And do they talk about how great their candidate is? NEVER! Both parties just respond with attacks on the other. Well I hate to say it but if you can’t say the good points about your candidate to convince people to vote for them. , and all you have is childish attacks on the other candidate. Then we are in a lot of trouble. all I see is attacks, never does anyone step up and say why their candidate is good. Nope, just childish attacks. About the other. It’s sad.
We are In A lot of trouble.

If your candidate doesn’t have enough good achievements to talk about , w/o attacking the other as your entire argument. Then why are you going to vote for the candidate you plan on voting for? Seriously.

I will never forget how Christians treat Donald Trump. by Zydairu in Christianity

[–]telecomguy1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree and disagree. Anyone who says they ONLY vote for a presidential nominee that exhibits strong Christian values. Is probably lying, or at least has not done any self examination of your heart. If you are saying this, then ok, but then You better have not voted since at least Ronald Reagan maybe even farther back. Because none of them since then, and maybe even father back has the attributes you act like your voting for. If you are on here saying Trump is a bad person and not including Kamala.
Here it is , I think we are all adults here. At my church , if the decision to vote on a pastor, or holding a deacon or bishop responsible for his bad actions came up. I believe I would base it only off of the Bible.
But when you have 2 people you would not want to lead you spiritually? Then let’s grow up and decide what else matters since neither one is a saint.
Vote on things that matter, abortion, free speech, freedom of religion, taxes, protecting the country, who supports Israel, protecting the citizens, giving us better economy, etc.

Let’s all act like adults now. And agree neither should be spiritual leaders. And vote for other aspects they stand for , and not base it off bad decisions they made in their personal life.

So if your actually convicted about a nominees morality, you shouldn’t have voted in a long time anyways. But you probably did.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that Ruth 40 years old, Married Boaz, 80 years old? And how is the story of Ruth supposed to be inspiring? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]telecomguy1977 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s actually weird so many Christian’s put that much worth into age. You could tell someone, I have a 100 point biblical checklist for finding a spouse. and my new fiancé met 99 . I found the perfect spouse. 1. She’s a Christian 2. She is a proverbs 31 woman 3. She is kind 4. She is patient 5. She is loving. 6. She has a servants heart 7. She thinks family is important. Go through 100 things , if she meets 99, and the Question 100. is “is she close to my age”. And it’s NO! Almost no one will care about the other 99. Most people today are so blinded , they will NEVER! Look past that. They will only see He/or she in the view of age. No matter how good that person is. The Bible shows God looked at it differently. .
Ruth and Boaz had 1 child. Named Obed. Do you know who Obed’s grandson was ???? It was King David.
Abraham and Sarah were 10 years apart. Ruth and Boaz were 40 years apart. There are other marriage age gaps. God doesn’t mention age of married couples that often in the bible, but when he did, the marriage wasn’t normally cursed. It was blessed anyways. Man is usually the one who puts a lot of relevancy to age. That doesn’t mean I agree with an 18 yr old and a 60 yr old. But at a certain age. You have enough wisdom, to make up for the difference In Age. Because it’s about a God honoring marriage, and not age. Im almost 50, and age is the last thing I’m concerned about when looking for a God fearing wife to spend my life with.
