MOSCOW — The Russian Justice Ministry on Friday said it has filed a lawsuit with the nation’s Supreme Court to outlaw the LGBTQ “international public movement” as extremist, the latest crippling blow against the already beleaguered LGBTQ community in the increasingly conservative country.
What became of the children the Russians stole from Ukraine? How many Jews care? We know president Zelenskii – cares!
What became of THE JEWS who rose from their graves, that could not have been Christians, or, followers of Jesus – BECAUSE THEY WERE DEAD! For thirty-five years, since I tried to become a Christian (and failed) I wondered if this WAS MORE ANTISEMITISM stemming from the teaching of Paul and Jesus. Surely there were many Jews in Jerusalem that saw The Dead, and were curious to know how they were now – ALIVE! Surely they would want to know what the place they came from – was like – and will they know eternal life. How long were – they alive? Why don’t dead people rise from that hole in that hospital and – in the name of Allah – say thy are sorry for invading Israel and killing innocent babies? How about raping female hostages?

EXTRA! I saw what past post came up at the bottom of this post! Wow! On October 6th. I was composing my next chapter of the Royal Janitor, where Starfish looks at Jesus telling Peter;
“Get behind me Satan!”
I am kin to Ian Fleming, and made my characters, Lesbians in order to point out the Crazy Holy War the three major religions are having with people’s sexual preference! HERE’S WHY Israeli Intelligence were not looking for another attack by Hamas, they were conspiring with Crazy Rabbis on how to get more Jews against LGBTQ folks! Here is the status quo Israel and the world is supposed to return to – after another thousand Palestinian Babies are BUTCHERED by Holy Orthodox Bombs!
WHY HAVE THE THREE GODS GONE INSANE! Why do we have three Gods?
The answer has everything to do with the Eucharist, and the sponge dipped in vinegar!

There are seven million Jews in Israel, and seven million Jews in America. The homophobic rabbi claims he speaks – for all Jews – thus I use “Jews” rather than Israelites.
Maoz and Kirill – sound like the same person! Astronaut Scott Kelly said Putin is conducting “gendercide” in Ukraine. He wanted to say “terrorist bombing”. Write your Congressman and Jewish groups in America, and insist Moaz clarify his relationship with Russia – and distant himself from Putin and Kirill.

TALLINN, Estonia — More than 2,400 Ukrainian children aged 6-17 have been taken to Belarus from four regions of Ukraine that are partially occupied by Russian forces, a study by Yale University has found.
The study, released Thursday by the Humanitarian Research Lab of the Yale School of Public Health, which receives funding from the U.S. State Department, found that “Russia’s systematic effort to identify, collect, transport, and re-educate Ukraine’s children has been facilitated by Belarus,” and is “ultimately coordinated” between Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Belarus’ authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko.

MOSCOW — The Russian Justice Ministry on Friday said it has filed a lawsuit with the nation’s Supreme Court to outlaw the LGBTQ “international public movement” as extremist, the latest crippling blow against the already beleaguered LGBTQ community in the increasingly conservative country.
The ministry said in an online statement announcing the lawsuit that authorities have identified “signs and manifestations of extremist nature” in “the activities of the LGBT movement active” in Russia, including “incitement of social and religious discord.” Russia’s Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing to consider the lawsuit for Nov. 30, the ministry said.
It wasn’t immediately clear what exactly the label would entail for LGBTQ people in Russia if the Supreme Court sides with the Justice Ministry. But the move in itself represents the latest, and by far the most drastic, step in the decadelong crackdown on gay rights in Russia unleashed under President Vladimir Putin, who has put “traditional family values” at the cornerstone of his rule.
The crackdown, which began a decade ago, slowly but surely chipped away at LGBTQ rights. In 2013, the Kremlin adopted the first legislation restricting LGBTQ rights, known as the “gay propaganda” law, banning any noncritical public depiction of “nontraditional sexual relations” among minors. In 2020, Putin pushed through a constitutional reform to extend his rule by two more terms that also outlawed same-sex marriage.
In 2022, after sending troops into Ukraine, the Kremlin ramped up its rhetoric about protecting “traditional values” from what it called the West’s “degrading” influence, in what rights advocates saw as an attempt to legitimize the military action in Ukraine. That same year, the authorities adopted a law banning propaganda of “nontraditional sexual relations” among adults, too, effectively outlawing any public endorsement of LGBTQ people.
Another law passed this year prohibited gender transitioning procedures and gender-affirming care for trans people. The legislation prohibited any “medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person,” as well as changing one’s gender in official documents and public records. It also amended Russia’s Family Code by listing gender change as a reason to annul a marriage and adding those “who had changed gender” to a list of people who can’t become foster or adoptive parents.
“Do we really want to have here, in our country, in Russia, ‘Parent No. 1, No. 2, No. 3’ instead of ‘mom’ and ‘dad?’” Putin said in September 2022 at a ceremony to formalize Moscow’s annexation of four Ukrainian regions. “Do we really want perversions that lead to degradation and extinction to be imposed in our schools from the primary grades?”
Israel told Palestinians to evacuate to southern Gaza — and stepped up attacks there

Israeli bombardment has killed thousands of civilians in the areas of the Gaza Strip that Israel has ordered them to move to, Gaza health ministry death tolls show. Witnesses’ accounts, satellite data and expert assessment gathered by NPR show that Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire occur daily in the areas Israel has said are “safer” for civilians, and have hit schools, residential towers and overcrowded United Nations refugee shelters.
Amid its military offensive on Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, the Israeli military has repeatedly dropped leaflets and sent messages telling residents they must leave their homes and “evacuate” to areas it claims are safer, which are south of the Wadi Gaza wetlands.
What Did Jesus Mean “It is done!”
Posted on October 19, 2022 by Royal Rosamond Press
Until the elections, every day I will post on the guesses made by learned Christians as to what Jesus meant by “It is done!” Do not vote FOR JESUS in proxy – if you do not know the answer. Your vote is valuable to Right-wing Fascist Christians. Do not give it to them – unless they can answer – why?
McCarthy threatens to not support the thirst for freedom Ukrainians have. Have they, and other European Nations – wondered what Jesus meant? Surely the Republicans can afford to spend ten million dollars on a group of researchers – so we all can know the truth – alas!. Even the Chinese! Is Jesus – done with Europe?
One Vote! One Answer!
John ‘The Nazarite’
“When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, ‘It is finished,’ and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit” (John 19:30).
Anyone who is being crucified suffers from dehydration, with the mouth and throat unbearably dry and the tongue grossly swollen (see Ps 22:15). At first Jesus had refused the relief of the offered sour wine (Matt 27:34) so that all of his senses might be fully alert for his suffering. But hours later, the excruciating pain of crucifixion had begun to dull the senses and make speaking almost impossible, so Jesus accepted what he had earlier refused: “When Jesus had received the wine, he exclaimed, ‘It is finished!’ ” (John 19:30).
This cry consists of a single word in Greek—tetelestai. It is in the perfect tense, which presupposes a past occurrence but focuses attention on the present results of that event, so the word may be translated “it stands complete” or “it is finished.” It is a word an artist would use when she stands back after spending weeks perfecting what could become a masterpiece and gently whispers, with great relief and pleasure, tetelestai. Perhaps Jesus had used the word in his life as a carpenter when he had finished making a bedside table or plough for a client in Sepphoris. Running off to Joseph, he calls out “Abba, Abba, come quickly!” and proudly shows his foster father his completed carpentry.
“Tetelestai!”
Tetelestai, it is finished. We’ve no doubt heard these words during a Good Friday service or during our reading of the Gospels. But why does Jesus say it? And why does he reserve this as his last and final words? “It is finished” indicates he has consumed the cup of God’s wrath, and through his sacrifice, the bridge between God and sinful man had been established.
The Context Surrounding John 19:30
When we look at the context of this verse and what led up to it, this quote from St. Peter’s Anglican Church says it best:
“Before the arrest of Jesus by the Romans, Jesus prayed His last public prayer, where He asked the Father to glorify Him even as He had glorified the Father. He prayed to ‘finish the work you have given me to do” (John 17:4). The work of Jesus is to seek and save that which is lost (Luke 19:10) and to provide atonement for sinners whom Jesus died to reconcile to God (Romans 3:23-25; 2 Corinthians 5:18-19). None but the Lord God could accomplish and say with the authority of the God-Man, “It is finished” (John 19:30).”

Kelly Johnson, who is married to House Speaker Mike Johnson, practices a form of Christian counseling that classifies people into ‘choleric’, ‘phlegmatic,’ and other ancient personality types purportedly ordained by God

- Kelly Johnson, the wife of House Speaker Mike Johnson, was a Christian therapist.
- Johnson advertised a specialty in temperament therapy, a practice linked to a group founded in the 1980s.
- Its practices are built on the teachings of the Greek physician Hippocrates.
Kelly Johnson, the wife of the newly elected House speaker, ran a Christian counseling service that is affiliated with an organization that advocates against abortion and homosexuality and whose practices are built on the teachings of the Greek physician Hippocrates.
It is not clear if Kelly Johnson will continue her practice. Not long after Rep. Mike Johnson became House speaker last week, Kelly Johnson’s website became inaccessible. Johnson, her husband of more than 24 years, rose overnight from a virtually obscure House lawmaker to the position that is second in line to the presidency. The couple is deeply religious; both Kelly and Mike Johnson previously worked with religious organizations and causes the religious right advocates for. Along with her counseling, Johnson is also listed as an advisor to the Louisiana Right for Life, an anti-abortion organization.
Kelly Johnson’s website listed a specialty in Temperament counseling, a specialty that she received training for from an organization founded in the 1980s by a Christian couple. According to the materials the organization provides, the National Christian Counselor’s Association is adamant that its offerings take place outside of more traditional state-licensed settings so that counselors and clients can be fully engaged through their faith.
“The state licensed professional counselor in certain states is forbidden to pray, read or refer to the Holy Scriptures, counsel against things such as homosexuality, abortion, etc,” a catalog of the organization’s offerings states. “Initiating such counsel could be considered unethical by the state.”
The temperament-based approach breaks people down into five types: Melancholy, Choleric, Sanguine, Supine, and Phlegmatic. Richard and Phyllis Arno, who established a test to identify people’s temperament, founded the National Christian Counselors Association in the early 1980s. They and their advocates prefer the term temperament over personalities as the term personality is characterized as a “mask” while temperaments are “inborn” and thus inherent to each individual regardless of outside influences such as parenting. Their work is largely based on Hippocrates’ view that there were four temperaments.
Tim LaHaye, a controversial and influential figure on the evangelical right, pointed to Hippocrates’ beliefs when he began his own work in the 60s and 70s. The Arnos cited LaHaye in one of their books. LaHaye was vehemently opposed to LGBTQ people, writing an entire book on why he believed gay people were depressed because homosexuality was immoral and antithetical to the Bible. According to The New York Times, LaHaye’s anti-Catholic and antisemitic writings led him to step down from an honorary position leading Congressman Jack Kemp’s 1988 GOP primary campaign. LaHaye later pushed President George W. Bush’s election in 2000 and worked with then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in the 2008 presidential primaries. LeHaye became enormously popular and wealthy later in his life after he penned a series of apocalyptic novels.
One post for an affiliated counselor on the organization’s website describes a deliverance ministry in addition to temperament testing. Using this approach to drive demons out of a client makes sure the person is “better able to receive and act upon godly counsel, including recommendations from the APS profiles.” (APS profiles are the abbreviation for the couple’s temperament testing system.)
Not all Christian counseling is created the same. Some more traditional counselors may add Biblical elements to science-based approaches, while others counseling might take the form of pastoral guidance, and some reject more science-based approaches in favor of a faith-based model that emphasizes the power of God and scripture.
