I'm split on this sort of thing. Fire and brimstone Baptist preachers often come from the background of an epic 'sinner', giving examples of their past horrible lives in order to show how they've changed. Sure, it's the voice of experience, but when does that start and end...........does that make the worst sinner the best convert?
Does that make for the best to lead out of the same dilemma they fell prey to, while others never felt the temptation?
Which Roseanne is speaking this time? (She has multiple personas that still exist)
I recommend everyone look at the world in which we live in ... and temper expectations accordingly.
Everything that I can think of on this rock has been adulterated, twisted or is otherwise compromised from its original configuration. This includes people...
Now I guess since you've brought up the topic, there's something about the idea of Christians judging others and quoting scripture that doesn't sit right with me - a Catholic alter boy in my youth, BTW... plus 9 years of Catholic school.
I can't even begin to express my utter disdain for Bible thumping and the holier than thou bullshit, and not saying you're doing that specifically my brother, but many here do and it's annoying - if for no other single reason than, it's completely devoid of Spirit - and quite often, the entire forest is blocked because there are trees in the way.
Yeah - Roseanne Barr ...a Jew - who is brash; who she owes her fortune and fame to the Hollywood pit of vipers, thieves and lower than whale shit individuals. But...in recent days, she's changed her tune - and rather than speaking in lockstep with the satanic masters, she's decided to use her voice and existing fan base for good, patriotic messages.
If you actually listened to the videos I linked, you would see/hear evidence of her "fruits" and not judge her book by her cover of characters she played in the past.
There are a few reasons why I posted this today:
They discuss "our kind of stuff" including an exposē of pedo activity in hollyweird and Q
With the state of the world, the message trumps the messenger
She covers topics that normies and those who don't do any actual research or digging would never uncover - while her stardom or whatever attracts those outside of our reach to listen
She is a good example of people who have awakened by God and are now getting the word out and using their voice for good.... NCSWIC - communion with God is inevitable. Not everyone gets that yet ... nothing else is worthy.
I agree with your take. It doesn’t help someone to stand in judgement over them when your goals are in alignment. I’ve softened quite a bit on Christianity since I was in my early twenties and I think it comes from an understanding that the “bible thumping” shit isn’t Christianity, it’s bad Christians. Don’t throw the baby out with the holier than thou bath water. I know some really good Christians you would never guess they were because they don’t force it on you…ever. It’s their relationship with God and Christ, not anyone else’s and it’s refreshing to know people can be comfortable in their own skins and beliefs to not have to foist it upon you with such vehemence. Hope more people come to this understanding in time.
I wasn’t referencing Roseanne in my comment. It was for the more fervent of our frens on the board. Idk about Roseanne, she’s Hollywood and all that but Hollywood also hates her and tried to strip everything away from her so clearly she isn’t as entrenched as she was. I guess time will tell when we get to the tribunals.

You'll note she says she's jewish now, not christian, for whatever its worth.
