Some do, some dont. Its really more of an “alliance” of a few different churches, like Eastern Orthodox has Greek, Russian, etc.
The Ethiopians do clip the tip, I think, because of their history with King Solomon.
They also have the Book of Enoch in their Bible and claim to have the ark of the covenant. 🤷🏿♂️
Copypasta:
Besides the Council of Jerusalem, Pope Cyril the Great (412-444) and Pope Cyril the Third (1235 - 1243) had sermons discussing the matter and confirming that it’s not required for religious reasons. That said it’s very rare to find a Coptic Christian male in Egypt that is not circumcised, almost all Copts practice male circumcision for cultural and health reasons and as far as I know, this tradition dates back to Ancient Egyptians.
Thoughts are pervasive.
Words are thoughts.
Lyrics are words that are other people’s thoughts.
So, while driving, for instance, your mind just wanders. So more of you, and less of (insert artist(s) here)
There’s also something mathematical about music that speaks to the soul, and without words, it seems to change the whole experience. It’s meditative to put on some good classical music and just close your eyes… but you have to find what resonates with you, which instruments, composers, etc.
You like Hayden?
But really enjoy harp and violin?
You can find any well known classical composition in about a thousand different arrangements. Solo piano, string quartet, full orchestra, etc.
I know it’s cliche and all now, but I started attending and researching the Oriental Orthodox Church and after a couple of years, I was baptised into the faith.
There was/is enough mysticism and asceticism there for me. These people are absolutely nuts and I love them.
One of the Saints plucked his eye out and he and a group moved a mountain to save a Caliph from beheading a village… lots of insane stories like that. You either believe them or you don’t. I happen to.
Check this out. It’s a well documented pdf.
Or you could search “celts and copts” and read some results.
Chaos Magick. There’s wikis on it. DO NOT DO IT.
Dugin, William Burroughs, and all the famous Comicbook writers from England used it.
Results: job opportunities, meeting people that i “visualized” or “wished” popping out of nowhere… basically causing synchronicities on purpose… hot rich women (some married), business contacts with beady black eyes, succubus-level sex dreams equally pleasurable as terrifying… Because you use your subconscious mind the goal is to forget your intentional wish. So you obfuscate it by making a sigil, then charging the sigil, then burning the sigil to ash and using the ash as ink to create more sigils. It works a lot like icons or meme magic in that the image is more powerful than the word. Andy Warhol postmodern shit where you repeat images until they mean “nothing.”
It gets really really fucked up. I lost everything important. Was an absolute degenerate.
Imagine that “power of intention” or that Oprah’s “the secret shit.” But you’re using your subconscious mind instead of your conscious mind, so it’s exponentially more powerful.
This all may sound enticing. Not worth it.
It all leads back to the enemy of humanity— again, don’t do this shit.
I appreciate the long and thoughtful reply.
Good info on thumb drives.
Here’s some Copy pasta:
People bought 43 million vinyl records last year, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). That’s 6 million more than the number of CDs sold in 2023, marking the second time since 1987 that’s happened and reflecting the steady 17-year-running growth of vinyl sales.
Vinyl, which tends to be pricier than the newer format, also far outstripped CDs in actual money made, raking in $1.4 billion compared to $537 million from CDs. The RIAA’s report shows that CD revenue was up, too, but in terms of physical products sold, people actually bought about 700,000 fewer CDs in 2023 than the year before. (If you’re curious, nearly half a million cassettes sold last year, too, according to Billboard.)
I still use optical media and a guy on this board made fun of me for it.
Burning dvd-r’s and cd-r’s, even BD. I made a mix CD for the summer and gave it out to my friends.
What I learned is A lot of people don’t have CD players in their car… and they use vinyl as their main source of music at home.
I have some older movies on disc that have since been altered. I’ve seen movies on streaming that omit entire scenes.
I know I can save things on thumbdrive, and I do, but I have some sort of tactical-retardism that I can’t shake.
Taking the disc out, being careful not to touch it, and putting it immediately back into it’s own case afterwards… it feels good, man.
Here you go, exactly what i posted, including using “weekend at bernies” as a verb, 1-2 days later.
This is no_ez you’re fucking with. I was born on the net, I was anon before anon.
What the article doesnt mention is there’s people like Mudge that can reprogram anything and leave no traces.
Lord’s Prayer:
“Hallowed be they name.”
Hey u/free-will-of-choice, what does “hallowed” mean.
Why is my ween hallowed?
What is a ween?
Well i was the first to propose a possible gunshot to the head.
Hours later… they reported he died of a self inflicted gunshot wound.
The question is, when did he shoot himself?
I have no “evidence.”
But I did live through the “Kelly Killmore” ordeal and that was sus af.
You’ve seen the videos whereTeslas drive themselves back to the dealership if you miss a couple payments…
It’s conjecture. Circumstantial. But good to keep in mind. I wouldn’t think it would be AI in this case, however. Just a good ole fashioned R/C car.
BOTH suspects trained or were stationed at the same base.
(Not too awfully suspect, but noted)
BOTH suspects used the same app to rent the vehicles.
(I know there’s a lot of rental apps like that, but is this the most popular one that has the largest market share or was this one of the more obscure ones?)
Fucking fireworks.
There was obviously a real bomb-type explosion, but they also put fucking roman candles and and chinese dragon mortar balls in that bitch… for… what… the lulz?
If the guy was actually military, he would probably know there’s tons of shit more powerful than that, which could be picked up at literally any store.
They weekend at bernie’s this nigga, remote controlled his car, no way any white/jewish dude would commit suicide like that. Aside from these self-immolating libtard niggas. Maybe he was one?
Even If they do find a bullet in his skull, that don’t mean shit. No way to determine when he was shot if the body was torched.
“Tim mcveigh is a billionaire in the caribbean. We didnt really kill him. We injected him with saline and the doctor was in on it. We’ll do the same for you if you get caught. Your country needs you for this special operation.”
“Ok”
(Proceeds to kill him)
Nigga got rich off stealing ideas and companies from other people, rewriting history so that they were always his ideas and companies, and using government grants and subsidies to enrich himself and market his products.
Of course he’s a socialist.
Or like smithw1984 says here, A fascist, aka Socialism + nationalism. Mussolini’s definition of fascism: Perfect marriage between corporation and state.
Ya’ll know about Larry McDonald? The congressman that warned about the nwo and how it will be a blend of the worse parts of socialism and the worst parts of capitalism? Yeah, nigga died in one of them small airplane crashes that happen when you speak out on that level…
