<2021-09-30T01:21:15.000Z> FirebrandJay: Tips on maintaining civility with pagang? My nearest pool party has a bunch of pagans, one of whom has a wife who openly boasts about being a witch.
<2021-09-30T02:21:16.000Z> SuperLutheran: Uh... don't?
<2021-09-30T02:21:44.000Z> SuperLutheran: I mean, if they don't bring it up that makes civility a lot easier 
<2021-09-30T02:22:58.000Z> SuperLutheran: But if they're shoving it in your face a lot, I'd say it's time to find a different pool party. Our Lord says to not throw pearls before swine, and sometimes swine identify themselves pretty easily 
<2021-09-30T20:40:13.000Z> FirebrandJay: They're the only group in my general area (I'm very much in the middle of nowhere). In my own state, there was no pool party until I got involved which technically makes me my state's pool party leader, but so far I've only got one guy I'm vetting. Until that's grown into a real thing, this group is the only one here, and there are a lot of christians in it, too, with a christian subgroup and everything. I just just wanted to know whether or not it's appropriate to cause a scene at the potluck, y'know? I've never really had to deal with this kind of crap before.
<2021-09-30T20:41:23.000Z> SuperLutheran: Maybe make a rule where people aren't allowed to antagonize each other?
<2021-09-30T21:49:02.000Z> FirebrandJay: That's my trouble, we have such a rule, and they aren't antagonistic about it. They just affirm it and nobody sees a problem with it, and if you push back on witchcraft or joke about witches, the guy gets extremely hostile and defensive about it.
<2021-09-30T21:49:40.000Z> FirebrandJay: I guess that means they're conditionally antagonistic, but whatever
<2021-09-30T21:51:08.000Z> FirebrandJay: For example, somebody was selling candles, one of the candles was called "witch's cottage," so I made the obvious joke about getting getting a witch's cottage and setting it on fire. Because it's a candle.
<2021-09-30T21:52:11.000Z> FirebrandJay: Dude goes absolutely ballistic in the chat talking about how I want to cut his wife's tits off and break his children on the wheel and that I'm a tough guy larper and blah blah blah
<2021-09-30T21:53:02.000Z> FirebrandJay: It took me like two hours to talk him down and convince him that it was just a joke
<2021-09-30T21:56:21.000Z> FirebrandJay: (Sorry for blowing up your dms with this, I just don't really know who else to vent to and haven't had to deal with this sort of person before, so I'm kinda bewildered at the whole thing)
<2021-10-01T21:31:49.000Z> SuperLutheran: What a big baby, golly
<2021-10-01T21:32:14.000Z> SuperLutheran: Sounds like these are some deeply immature edgyposters 
<2022-01-24T18:43:46.000Z> FirebrandJay: HEY
<2022-01-24T18:44:39.000Z> FirebrandJay: In the latest godcast, at 1:16:05 ish, you said "I'm not getting my junta here in Encino"
<2022-01-24T18:45:25.000Z> FirebrandJay: I don't know where you live and don't want to, but that sounds doxxy and wanted to make sure you were aware that this part didn't get edited 
<2022-01-24T18:46:06.000Z> FirebrandJay: *I wanted to make sure
<2022-01-24T18:46:32.000Z> FirebrandJay: ok praise jesus
<2022-01-24T19:09:30.000Z> SuperLutheran: I don't actually live in encino lol
<2022-04-15T21:41:57.000Z> SuperLutheran: Hey, just wanted to letcha know, I'm not ignoring your email,
<2022-04-15T21:42:16.000Z> SuperLutheran: I just had only enough time to get to one recording this week due to conrtactors installing a french drain in my basement
<2022-04-15T22:44:09.000Z> FirebrandJay: Take your time! :P

<2022-04-18T23:53:54.000Z> FirebrandJay: Bless you and thank you, I will listen to this today or tomorrow
<2022-04-19T01:08:14.000Z> SuperLutheran: Happy to be of service!
<2022-04-20T20:52:26.000Z> FirebrandJay: Thank you so much for your longform response. It helped put my mind at ease to hear it said. I still have struggled a time or two since listening but the habit is being learned to affirm as doubt arises that God has mastery over not only my life, but also that all of creation is His gift to us. 
<2022-04-20T20:55:19.000Z> FirebrandJay: Even if the stars had some hold on life (the notion of which I find nearly laughable now), God is still sovereign and absolute. He would rewrite the very stars for us if we only trust Him to do so. After all, He can move mountains, walk the sea, and raise the dead. Who are the stars but playthings of His?
<2022-04-20T20:56:19.000Z> FirebrandJay: You're a good man and a great blessing from God. 
<2022-04-20T22:43:11.000Z> SuperLutheran: You're too kind brother. I praise the Lord that His Word shows us so many good things.
<2022-06-05T21:38:02.000Z> FirebrandJay: How to send a few buckaroos for the ministry?
<2022-06-05T21:38:30.000Z> SuperLutheran: We have to start off the same way TRS did in 2017, accepting checks/money orders
<2022-06-05T21:38:38.000Z> SuperLutheran: The addy would be written:
