Further on marital issues: when I am in Auckland I have to negotiate with my ex-wife (so sons can see grandparents, who are now very elderly) and all these things come to a head. Can I flat out state that marriage is not about happiness. I’ve run across at least 3 in the past two … Continue reading Which SJW plantation are you on?

An unfashionable appeal.
I had a comment from Hearthie yesterday that we should be joyful. Regardless: and that joy is not happiness. She is correct. Joy is something that happens despite our circumstances: Joy, like love, is a choice. It is not an affect, or a fleeting emotion. That would be infatuation or happiness. It is a choice: … Continue reading An unfashionable appeal.
Patience, endurance, and persecution.
I'm still thinking about Sunday and the idea that we should be happy. There seems to be an idea that we will get reward in this life, and one can even find scripture around this... if you quote in part out of context. I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD … Continue reading Patience, endurance, and persecution.
Doubleplusungoodthink for y’all [Quotage]
This is going to sound heretical to SJW, but they are the establishment, they parrot the memes of the elite, and they control the organs of all institutions, including the church: this is the rancid fruit of Gramsci teaching socialists to lie continually as they perform a "long march through the institutions". And this is … Continue reading Doubleplusungoodthink for y’all [Quotage]
We need continual reformation because we default to churchianity.
I have to remind Mundabor that the non judgmentalism and lack of a spine when it comes to guidance is not a poisonous fruit of the Protestants. The Protestants are just as cross-grained and against this world as the Traditional Catholics: it is our duty. We have to guide, and to guide means we have … Continue reading We need continual reformation because we default to churchianity.
Sweat now, bleed less later.
If you consider that obedience is the test of faith, expect to be tempted. Frequently. By your favourite desires, your most precious vices. That which you do not want to give up. The sin will be engineered to be as tasty and bad for you as carefully as food scientists made Dunkin' Donuts [1]. And … Continue reading Sweat now, bleed less later.
The SJW burden is heavy. Obeying Christ is not.
Yesterday I went for a walk: we were overtaking people and discussing politics and the logic behind progressivism and why they support policies which have clearly destroyed communities. We were reflecting on a comment that is legendary in our family about an Island woman (probably Rarotongan, as it was a Presbyterian meeting) telling my mother … Continue reading The SJW burden is heavy. Obeying Christ is not.
The truth is subversion.
One of the joys of travelling is using 4G sticks to connect to the internet. at $20 a gigabyte. I was chewing through the data and wondered why until both sons told me to stop watching youtube -- I had been trying to find carols to add to a post. And today the lectionary in … Continue reading The truth is subversion.
A Christmas hypocrite.
This morning the hypocrisy is strong upon me. I have had to confront the mother of my children, and give them the freedom to choose whom to spend Christmas morning with. As a consequence, my grandparents have had breakfast with three of their six grandchildren, with two arriving for lunch, and the final one in … Continue reading A Christmas hypocrite.
Gnash and Christmas songs.
These links should play fairly easily, and you don't need Adobe Flash: this computer uses gnash. Some theology for Christmas Merry Christmas, everyone.
