As a Christian raised in Roman Catholicism, I have long wondered the exact same thing. How could it not be so?
While I long ago left the Catholic Church, (during the first round of pedophilia exposures in the late 80’s), there are still some things I hold dear about it. Specifically, I am grateful for the sisters at my Catholic School who taught us about abortion as Roe vs Wade was being decided: Religion teacher Sister M who taught us about the immorality of it; History teacher Sister ME who taught us that abortion and Roe vs Wade was a state issue, not a federal one, and therefore should have never even made it to the Supreme Court; Science teacher Sister MR who taught us the facts of sperm meets egg and the embryonic and fetal stages of development and Principal Sister MA who taught us all about the First Amendment peaceful assembly and the right to express grievances by arranging charter busses to DC where we students actively protested with the Pro Life crowd on the Supreme Court steps as it was being decided.
Perhaps more importantly, they also taught us that the Jews killed Jesus. Never did I get the impression that we must support Jews and/or Zionists as God’s Chosen. Rather, the message I gleaned is that we must pray for them to repent and seek Forgiveness and Salvation of their Souls through the Redeeming Blood of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the forgiveness of an all-powerful and Loving God, so that they, too, may have Everlasting Life.
Nah, I got put in Twitter jail back when Jack ran the show. Having sufficiently served my time, I did try to re-enter the X world under Elon, but by then, the algos wanted my cell phone number for “verification,” which I hadn’t originally had to provide. So I “deleted” the account to the extent that’s possible and don’t regret it. Still, I very much appreciate the anons who post here and provide links to “Happenings.” Thank you! o7
Reminds me of a meme-type joke that used to circulate on paper decades ago, pre-internet. It went something like this:
“Theology of Scatology”
Amish: “When shit happens, plow it into the field.” Evangelicalism: “Shit is Happening! The End is Near! Repent Now!” Catholicism: “If Shit Happens, you should feel guilty and seek penance.” Islam: “If Shit Happens, it is the will of Allah.” Zen: “What is the sound of Shit Happening?” Atheism: “We don’t believe this Shit!” Agnosticism: “Does Shit even exist and if so, what is its origin?” Confucious-ism: “Confucious say, Shit Happens.” Judaism: “Why does this Shit always Happen to us?”
🤔😳😉😃🙃🤣🤪
Oh, thank you, but I wouldn’t want to speed things up THAT much! The vet did give me a syringe of oxytocin to help her expel any retained afterbirth, etc. But that’s a big IF and we wait about 24 hours after the pups are all born and accounted for, I wouldn’t want to give it to her otherwise. She’s actually now sleeping in her whelping box. We rigged some curtains around it and her daughter from her 9/22 litter is sleeping alongside her. Comfy at the moment.
Oh, believe me, she and her pups have the coziest set up ever. Her custom-made double decker two-part whelping box is all set up, complete with rubber matting, whelping blankets, and drop-down gate for her to get in and out of as she pleases. The box is in a temp controlled 12 x 12 side room with tiled floor, partitioned with custom fencing and a gate. Off of that room is an enclosed porch, which will be partitioned off before the pups eyes are open, insulated with insulation board, rubber matting and wood chips for the pups to use as a poop porch. (Cleaned at least a dozen times a day with clean chips applied as needed.) The portioned area will have a drop-down gate which we will lift up when we want to let the pups play in the fenced backyard, but never, ever unsupervised because we have coyotes in the area. Although the coyotes generally do avoid our property bc we have a lot of dogs, there was one time in Jan of 21 when her pups had just been born when a whole gang of coyotes were literally singing in the corner of our backyard, less than 50 feet from the house. 😱 Anyhow, yes, we have made everything as comfy and private and as safe as we can possibly make it.
Yea, I thought about that but vet isn’t available on a Friday night. I think I will just take her for a little walk. She did just eat a can of chicken and rice soup so maybe that will get things moving, so to speak. After reading the reply above, I’m not even going to try it. Poop en utero can be very dangerous.
I never really trusted him, much as I never really trusted Hannity or O’Reilly. Plus I remember reading on Voat how he was friends with Alefantis and how his dad was in the CIA. So he is sus in my book. I feel similarly about Elon, but for different reasons.
Likely so.
