Podcasts about Westboro Baptist Church

In this broadcast, I will be speaking with Shirley Phelps-Roper of Westboro Baptist Church...challenging their controversial theological beliefs. While Shirley and the church are very much despised by many, and while we had differing opinions, I was most touched by words of kindness, which I wasn't expecting to hear. I trust you enjoy the show.

The story about the terrorist FAFO'ing in Rankin County reminded me of the time that the Westboro Baptist Church came to Brandon back in 2011 to protest a fallen Mississippi Marines funeral and found out the hard way that we do NOT play that shit down here!!    

Today was the first show in the post SaveJXN era of the Clay Edwards Show and I have to say that I personally enjoyed the hell out of it and hope you all did too. The fact that the live viewership doubled throughout the show let's me know that people were sharing it because they also enjoyed it so thank you!! 1- We open the show with Pearl, Mississippi Mayor Jake Windham telling us all about what's going on in Pearl Saturday for the annual Pearl Day festival that concludes Saturday night with a free concert headlined by Poison lead singer Bret Michaels & co-headliner WARRANT!! We also take a dive into the state of the state of Pearl and all of the great work Jake's team has done with revitalizing the Hwy 80 corridor over the last decade or so. 2- I discuss last nights NFL draft and the fact the Ole Miss QB Jaxon Dart got drafted by the New York Giants as well as giving the recent draftees some advice about how to protect their money from "Insta-Skanks" that want to become "baby mommas". 3- Last night in on Hwy 49 in Richland, Mississippi, Rankin county law enforcement had a shootout and standoff with a terrorist that ended with a LEO Sniper taking the terrorist out. I tell you guys everything I know and issue the terrorist a FAFO championship  4- The story about the terrorist FAFO'ing in Rankin County reminded me of the time that the Westboro Baptist Church came to Brandon back in 2011 to protest a fallen Mississippi Marines funeral and found out the hard way that we do NOT play that shit down here!! 5- Angel "Mic Magazine" Buckner called in to tell a story about a time she personally dealt with racism in real life, and it wasn't in Mississippi. You might be surprised to find out where it was and hear what she has to say about it is as she fought back tears.  6- We got a crazy phone call from who I believe was the baby momma of Hector Custode, who's the accused child sex predator from the local car dealership that was exposed last week on the Pred V. Prey Facebook page. Rather the caller was the baby momma or not it motivated me to tell the story about how she has been stalking me and sharing information about Bryce (the content creator who exposed Hector) trying to tarnish him image as if it's somehow going to change what anyone thinks about Hectors image. We try to decide why she feels the need to defend Hector after he was caught on tape admitting to what he admitted to.

Pastor Aden thinks the Westboro Baptist Church is weak sauce in their theology.  He regularly brings his far right, ultra fundamentalist sermons to college campuses with unsurprising results.  Pastor Aden joins atheist Michael Regilio for a heated debate.  More at dogmadebate.com

He discusses the film's controversial distribution, its plot involving a group of teenagers caught in a religious cult, and the intense performances by the cast. The conversation delves into the cultural and historical references that inspired the film, particularly the Waco siege and the Westboro Baptist Church. Tony critiques the film's portrayal of government institutions and the anti-religious messaging present in the narrative, while also highlighting the film's strengths in acting and direction. https://linktr.ee/thegreatgirthpodcast

This Little Light of Mine This Little Light of Minea sermon by Rev. J. Christy Ramsey DOWNLOAD A LIVE RECORDING Audio from worship at the 10 AM Worship Service December 29, 2024at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Carson Cityedited from a flawless transcription made by edigitaltranscriptions all errors are mine. John 1:1-18 Sermons also available free on iTunes Akron, Ohio, my hometown, has a Main Street that follows the river. It was a river, and then it was a canal, and then it was road. Then came a flood, and then became a river again because you’ll have that. Goes through – Main Street goes through the lowest part of town because that’s where the river was. That’s where commerce was. That’s where the canal was. And so Main Street goes right like this all the way through town, and it’s the lowest part of town. Over here we have Goodyear Heights. And it’s high. It goes right up. It’s like in the middle of the valley. Goodyear Heights is over here. That’s where the factories are. That’s where the rubber was made, the smokestacks, the work crews, all are up here. And it’s high. It is high up. And in the space of about a mile or two, 10 blocks, you can see it. It goes down to Main Street, and then it goes up to the outside. The outside is West Hill. West Hill’s on the other side of Main Street. Market connects the two. You could, up at West Hill, you can see, and see the whole town. West Hill was where all the rich people lived, the factory owners, the management, because, you know, smoke was all over there, and in the valley it didn’t get up to West Hill. So that’s where West Hill was. Now, my family, my grandma, grandpa, and my brother, my uncle, good people, they were the factory people. They lived over here on the East Side, on Goodyear Heights. And over here is where we moved on up, you know, like that song, “Movin’ On Up” to the West Side. So we moved over here. So we were constantly going from the West Hill down the valley on Market. [Indiscernible] to go visit the family and connect up in church and all that. And so we did that a lot. At one time, I don’t know, late ‘60s probably, we were just at the crest of West Hill where we could see the entire traffic of Akron. We could see Main Street going along the canal. We could see Market Street. And Market, busy, busy throughfare. And I remember one day we were at the crest of the hill, looking down, and we stopped. We pulled over to the side of the road. And I looked, and all through Market Street, 10, 20 blocks, down to Main Street and back up, traffic was frozen. Everything was moved up to the side of the road and stopped. I thought, well, that’s odd. But then I looked, and I saw the flashing lights of a fire engine coming down Market Street. And everybody had stopped and got out of the way and made way for those flashing lights. Fast-forward 30 years, and some of you here know what that’s like. You know, you turn around, suddenly it’s 30 years later? Thirty years later I’m driving those flashing lights on the fire engine, faking it till I make it because no one else would get in the seat, so I did. I’m driving. And I’m learning about flashing lights and about fire department. They tell me, you know, you’re not allowed to go through red lights in a fire truck in Ohio. It’s against the law. You know you don’t have the right of way in Ohio with the flashing lights and sirens. All that is, is a request for the right of way. All that light and shining big red truck is just saying, please, please let us go by. It’s just please, it’s just a request. And we are responsible as firefighters to be driving with due regard as opposed to the rest of the people that have reasonable care. They just have to be reasonable. We’ve got to have due regard. And so they don’t have to get out of the way. They can just go on with their life. They can ignore the light. You know, that light says someone’s in trouble. Someone needs help now. Could you move out of the way? Could you stop just a moment thinking of yourself and of where you’re going and what you need to do? Can you stop, give way, so somebody else could get the help they need? It’s just an ask. And I was new guy there, even though I was older than most of those guys. Oh, that was not – they were very kind to me, you know. But, yeah, on the training events, you know, where they did training, they assigned me the role of “guy who died.” And so they would put me out in a field, and they’d come rescue me so I could just, you know, relax, kind of chillin’. So, but, you know, I try to measure my questions. You’ve been in a new job, you don’t ask every question the first day. I mean, that’s just annoying. You know, you just try to get what you need to get through the day. But there was this one thing, right here in the firehouse garage, right back here, you know, seven feet up, or eight, I don’t know, right here. There was, you know, one of those old metal box light switches like you’ve got in a garage. It was rusty. You remember those things? The conduit came down, it wasn’t pretty. And it was a switch, and there was this old, yellow, brown, moldy paper curled up over it, and you could just make out it said this, in big block letters: “DO NOT USE.” Don’t you want to? Don’t you want to? So I asked one of the old guys, I said, “Hey, what is that? Roger, Roger, what’s with that switch?” He goes, “Oh, that switch. That switch turns every traffic light in town red.” I go, oh. “But we don’t use that anymore.” Yeah, yeah, I saw the sign, yeah. He goes, “Yeah, the right turn on red, nobody stops anymore.” No one follows the lights. They just keep moving. Christ the light of the world came into the world. And what does light do? Light shows you there’s other people beside yourself. Light can show you, reveal that there’s more people than just you here. And sometimes, yes, sometimes those people need help that you don’t need, but they need. You know, when I think back at that time in Akron, that really impressed me, to see all the traffic in the city stopped because some stranger somewhere was in trouble, and everyone agreed that that traffic mattered. Not all traffic mattered. That traffic mattered because they needed help. And because they were in trouble, and because they were hurting, we could step by and allow them to get the help they need. I had a hard time with the sermon today because you know I’m going to be political. You know what the difference between political is for – political is other people. When it affects me, that’s morality. That’s important. When it affects other people, well, that’s politics. I don’t have to worry about that. Don’t talk or bother me about it. I only want to talk about me, me, me. That’s morality. That’s right and wrong. Did you know that fire trucks and fire engines and fire departments used to be politics? Fire insurance the politics in that. Because you see, back in the day, I know it’s hard to imagine, but see if you can wrap your heads around this concept, that lifesaving care of the fire department was dependent on insurance companies. I know, who would have thought such a thing? If you did not have insurance, your house burned down. You could die. Your possessions were gone. If you didn’t have any a fire insurance mark. Such a thing shouldn’t exist. If you go to some old fire departments, maybe even here in Carson, you can see what they called fire insurance marks, a metal plaque. What they were, they were these big metal plates, usually some kind of star shape, was fastened on the front of the house displaying which insurance company the fire department covered for this house. And if you didn’t pay your money, you didn’t get signed up during open enrollment, had a pre-existing conditions, you can’t pay the fire department at the fire. They’ll come for the fire, would put out your neighbor’s fire that had insurance, but you just burned down. You could be out there crying, offering to pay. No. No, you didn’t buy the insurance. You just burned down. That’s the way it is. That’s the way it is. That’s fair. That’s law. That’s the rules. That’s the way it is. Back then there’s no other way to imagine. Luckily, we thought that was silly. We thought that was immoral. We thought people that were in trouble, people that were going to go bankrupt, people that were facing financial ruin from fire’s destruction, we think, no, that will not be dependent on whether or not they paid their insurance premium. They’re our neighbors everybody here needs to be safe, regardless, so their house doesn’t burning down from a neighbors fire, or if they’re not safe, at least there’s help on the way. And we’re not going to check the insurance rolls and get preauthorized approval before we put wet stuff on the red stuff. No matter who you were, no matter what your morals were, no matter where you were in the country. When I was on the fire department, if you were in trouble, we came, and we did all we could to save your life and your property. We came with those lights that showed that there’s other people in the world that need help, that there’s other traffic that mattered. Those lights that showed that there are some people hurting. Can you please just get out of the way and let us help them? I don’t know what’s coming up. No one knows what’s coming up. But I’m going to say there’s going to be a lot of fights over light. Over light. We’re not the light. We’re not Jesus Christ. We’re not the light of the world. We bear witness to the light. We say Lord Jesus Christ comes to bring light to the world. Everyone. We’re not going to keep things in the dark because that’s not what our Christ says. Our Christ is the light of the world, not the dark of the world. So when people said, we’re not going to report maternity deaths anymore, we’re not going to report them, we’re going to put them under the dark, we’re going to [indiscernible] light of the world. We want to know about those people. We want to know if they need help. We want to turn on the light and go to them if they need it with sirens blazing, no matter who they are, [indiscernible] been, what the color of their skin is, what their nationality is, how much their income is, what their employment status. Turn on the lights. Christ is the light of the world, and we don’t abide by keeping people in the dark. I’ve only been in the ministry for 40 years. I can remember, I remember when there was a school shooting, everything stopped. We had special church services, and we had special prayers, and we knew the names, and we said the names, and we prayed for the people. We even wrote, in one church I had, to the people that were there. And I also remember that a church I was in, when someone stood up a couple years later to pray for the latest school shooting, and the leader says we can’t pray for that. That happens all the time. It’s not special. The number one killer of children in America, our country, is gun violence. Number one. If anyone from a foreign country or any other force came and killed our children like guns are, we would stop it the next day. But it’s in the dark. Did you know it’s illegal for Congress to spend money to study gun violence as a health issue? It’s not allowed. Keep that stuff in the dark. We’re not people of the dark. We’re people of the light. And we say the light comes to everyone of the world, not just some people in the world. It comes to all. It’s right there in John. We read it today. We believe it. We’re the ones that are going to come out and say, oh, no. We follow the light of the world. You’re not going to cover up all these things in the dark. We’re here to tell you. And if someone needs help, we’re at least going to get out of the way. And we might even be on that truck with lights and sirens. Get out of our way. We’re helping people that need help. And no, we’re not checking their insurance cards. That’s what it means when the light of the world comes into the world. Now, it’s not without controversy and upsets and changing this back to the way things were, you know, and that’s it. That’s the only thing that can happen. Not even from other Christians. Have you heard about Westboro Baptist Church and Fred Phelps? They’ve kind of not been around as much. But it used to be a big thing. They’d go to funerals and protest and curse people at funerals of veterans, and veterans coming home. They go to churches and demonstrate. They go everywhere and demonstrate and make things about how terrible and awful the people were who were trying to go to a funeral or trying to have a service. They went to Chicago to the Trinity UCC Church, who are unashamedly Christian and magnificently black [indiscernible], that’s their motto up there. Trinity UCC Church, a great history. And Dr. Morris was there, and Moss was there, and comes to church. I don’t know if he walked the labyrinth before church, or maybe they gave him a key, I don’t know. Could happen. But he was there early, and they were there, Westboro Baptist Church, cursing people going to church, calling them horrible awful names. Imagine, if you will, coming to church, coming to the official church, and it’s kids, it’s old ladies and good people and maybe some people that are hurting. Who knows? People come to church when they’re hurting, sure. And they get cursed at. They get damned. They get yelled at on the way. And Dr. Moss, like a lot of good pastors do in big churches, went to the choir because that’s where you go because you know the choir, they’re kind of the zealous of the church. If you had a choir, you would know this. Don’t be messin’ with the choir. You know. These are the shock troops of the church. And he went to the choir, and they had a hundred people in the choir, robed choir, hundred people. They rocked and rolled it. And he told them there’s people out there cursing our people coming into church. They’re cursing the small children, the little children. They’re yelling at the old ladies. They’re making things – they’re going through hell, and they need protection. They need help. I want you to go out there. I want you to robe up. And I want you to go out there, and I want you to sing so loud that they cannot hear those curses. I want you to sing so loud that they come in to praises and not to curses. I want you to sing “This Little Light of Mine.” This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine. This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine. This little light of mine, I’m gonna to let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. And they sang that song and overwhelmed the chants, and people coming to church were protected. People that were vulnerable were shielded from the hate and from the awfulness that was there. And they didn’t just do it and ignore the people that were saying the curses and the things. They offered to pray for them. And when they were turned down, you don’t get in the way of the choir. When they were turned down, the choir went ahead and prayed for them anyway, right there out in front, so it was in the midst of the cursing and the damnations and the awfulness and the racial things was prayer and praise. That’s light. That’s light. When someone’s hurting, when someone’s vulnerable, when someone’s being attacked, the people of the light are there. It could be a choir singing “This Little Light of Mine.” It could be people on the fire truck with lights and sirens. It could be people in the courtroom saying we want to know how the health of our mothers are doing and whether what we’re doing is killing them. We want to know what’s going on in our schools and our children and are they safe, and what’s going on with that? Why do they die so much, and no other nation has this trouble? Don’t sweep it under the rug. Shine the little light on it. We’re going to be light shiners. We’re going to be looking for those that are in the dark and bring them into the light and say we are here to help you. You don’t have to. You don’t have to give out the right of way. But man, it’s great when we can look out for one another and refuse to accept a city that’s on fire because someone didn’t pay their insurance, because someone didn’t have the right placard up. We said no, we’re not going to let you lose everything and die because you didn’t pay the insurance premium. You know, that’s one step away from “A nice little house you got here. Too bad if anything would happen to it.” Little protection money over there. Friends, we can be different. John says the world is different because Jesus Christ came into the world. The light came into the world, and darkness fled. Let us be the little light. Let us be the light that helps those that are in the dark and are hurting. Amen.

The Rise and Fall of LaDonna's Loudest Surrogate: David McClam LaDonna Humphrey's most vocal supporter, David McClam, launched the We Are Not Afraid podcast to defend her against mounting accusations. Episode after episode, McClam promised to deliver proof that LaDonna's critics were lying. But instead of delivering proof, McClam brought Alecia Lockhart's alleged sexual abuser on air to dismiss her claims, issued personal threats to show up at my doorstep and attack me, and even threatened to send the anti-gay hate group Westboro Baptist Church to Anthony Christopher's gay club for a "blood bath." This erratic behavior ultimately led to his podcast being pulled down from his hosting provider. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode we tempt the algorithm to bring all kinds of crazies to our door with the most click baity number there is, 666 mark of the best. This entire episode is absolutely not a way of correcting a typo on our order to our merch supplier.Obviously it goes without saying 666 is relevant to anyone mentally unstable, and this show,Because of its appearance in the Book of Revelation.Now I'm not going to get into what all this means here and now. We have a series dedicated to a verse by verse explanation of the Book of Revelation. So far we've already pulled apart three chapters.But suffice it to say, 666 has significance in the world of crazy, because of that quote I just gave you. So leaving the biblical scholarship to one side for this episode I thought it would be fun to look at cases of hysteria around this number.There will be cameo guest appearances from Topeka, Kansas, Westboro Baptist Church, Men's Health, GQ, Reddit, Jeopardy, Cicero, Philippics, Ashok Bhaskar, Yale Daily News, Alex Trebek, Taylor Clagget, Ben Sasamoto, Mad Men, Tishman Building, 666 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, Jared Kushner, Qatar, Trump, Christine Weick, Monster Energy Drinks, Hebrew, White Zombie, Louisiana, Megan Pinion, Starbucks, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, Threads, Kim Dotcom, Elon Musk, Google Chrome, Apple, Steve Wozniac, Steve Jobs, The Satanic Temple, South Africa, Mogoeng Mogoeng, Most Holy Place, Dunning Kruger, Idiocracy, CERN, Large Hadron Collider #666 #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science #History #Atheism #Antitheist #ConspiracyTheory #Conspiracy #Conspiracies #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Skeptic #Debunk #SatanIsMySuperhero #Podcast #funny #sketch #skit #comedy #comedyshow #comedyskits #HeavyMetal #weird #RomanEmpire #Rome #AncientRome #Romans #RomanEmperor #numerology

It's Friday and we're rounding up the news of the week. First, Kyle Clark's stellar performance as a moderator for the Congressional District 4 debates caught the attention of Jimmy Kimmel, so we had to ask him about it. The 9News anchor also joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to talk about the Colorado GOP's weird week involving the slandering of Pride and a friendly nod to the Westboro Baptist Church. Then, an epic city council sidewalk disappointment, a celebration of the zipper merge, and more wins and fails of the week. We talked about our special series Lauren Boebert Can't Lose, as well as both Kyle and Bree's interviews with congressional district candidate Valdamar Archuleta. Kyle mentioned 9News' review of the handling of the initial investigation into Elijah McClain's death and Paul shouted out Representative Steph Vigil's legislation supporting gig workers. Bree talked about American Culture's show this weekend at D3 Arts — and you can hear “Hey Brother, It's Been a While”, the band's latest release on Bandcamp. For more on the Westboro Baptist Church, Paul recommends this interview with former Westboro member Megan Phelps-Roper. It's from a podcast he produced a few years ago, hosted by the badass local pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber.  What do you think about Kyle Clark's performance at the CD4 debate last week?

Justice Alito warns of declining support for freedom of speech on college campusesNBC News, By Lawrence Hurley, on May 11, 2024https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/justice-alito-warns-declining-support-freedom-speech-college-campuses-rcna151817In a recent commencement speech at Franciscan University of Steubenville, Justice Samuel Alito sparked a discussion about the current state of free speech in the United States, particularly focusing on college campuses. Alito, addressing a crowd at this Catholic college in Ohio, expressed his concern that free speech is in sharp decline, especially in academic settings. This speech comes amidst a backdrop of national debates on free speech, often highlighting the tension between open expression and social and political unrest.Justice Alito's remarks seemed to indirectly reference ongoing controversies, such as the unrest over Gaza, to underline his point. He suggested that the erosion of free speech is particularly evident on college campuses, which he believes should be bastions of open dialogue and debate. However, Alito did not provide specific examples or elaborate on the exact nature of the threats he perceives. This lack of detail has led to speculation and critique, with some questioning whether his speech was more about defending particular viewpoints rather than an unbiased defense of free speech.The setting of Alito's speech is noteworthy. Franciscan University, known for its strong Catholic identity, may not necessarily reflect the diversity of thought found on many secular campuses. Critics argue that Alito's choice of venue and his broad statements on free speech could imply a bias towards protecting speech that aligns with certain ideological or religious perspectives. This has raised questions about whether Alito is advocating for a truly open discourse or merely for the freedom to express views that align with his own.Additionally, Alito's track record on the Supreme Court has been scrutinized in light of his speech. His voting history often shows a complex relationship with free speech issues. For instance, in 2011, Alito was the sole dissenter in a case that upheld the Westboro Baptist Church's right to picket military funerals, a decision grounded in free speech protections. Alito argued that such actions constituted a vicious verbal assault rather than protected speech. This decision suggests that Alito's commitment to free speech may have boundaries, particularly when it comes to speech that he views as harmful or offensive.Moreover, Alito  often advocates for holding onto traditional values, even in the face of changing societal norms. This perspective is evident in many of his opinions, where he frequently supports decisions that uphold religious and conservative values.In discussing the broader implications of Alito's speech, it is essential to consider the current political and social climate in the United States. The nation's highest court has become a battleground for deeply divisive issues, and justices' public comments are increasingly seen as reflections of their ideological leanings. Alito's speech, therefore, can be interpreted as part of a larger narrative about the role of free speech in a polarized society.Ultimately, Justice Alito's commencement speech serves as a provocative entry point into the ongoing debate over free speech in America. While his concerns about the erosion of free speech align with a broader conservative discourse, the lack of concrete examples and the specific context of his speech invite critical examination of his motives and the implications of his rhetoric. This speech underscores the enduring complexity and contentious nature of free speech issues in the modern era, particularly as they intersect with politics, religion, and education.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.21.1 featuring Cynthia McDonald, Infidel64, Cindy Plaza and Kelley LaughlinBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

In this riveting episode of the "Is This Real?" podcast, we delve deep into the heart of one of America's most controversial religious groups: the Westboro Baptist Church. Titled "The Anatomy of Hate: Decoding the Westboro Baptist Church," this episode offers a penetrating examination of the ideology, tactics, and impact of this polarizing organization. Join us as we dissect the anatomy of hate, unraveling the complex web of beliefs and behaviors that define the Westboro Baptist Church. From their infamous picket signs to their incendiary protests at funerals and public events, we explore the mechanisms through which the church spreads its message of intolerance and condemnation. Through interviews with former members, scholars of religion, and individuals affected by the church's actions, we seek to understand the psychological, social, and cultural factors that contribute to the propagation of hate within the Westboro Baptist Church. From indoctrination tactics to group dynamics, we illuminate the inner workings of this extremist group and examine its broader implications for society. But beyond simply condemning the Westboro Baptist Church, we also strive to unpack the roots of hate and intolerance more broadly, exploring how similar dynamics manifest in other contexts and communities. By shining a light on the mechanisms of hate, we hope to empower listeners to recognize and resist its insidious influence in all its forms. Join the conversation and share your thoughts on the Westboro Baptist Church and the anatomy of hate in the comments below. Together, let's continue to seek truth, challenge assumptions, and confront the forces of intolerance with "Is This Real?" podcast. https://linktr.ee/greenarrowmedia Until next time, keep questioning, keep exploring, and keep seeking the truth with "Is This Real?" podcast. ⁠https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-101131964-5598124 https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-101131964-11145908 https://www.adameve.com/t-03_22_21-sem-brand-landing-page.aspx?&cm_mmc=GGL-_-Brand_US_Brand_Google_Exact-_-Adam_Eve_HV_Exact-_-adameve&sc=SEMGLBRA&medium=tsa&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwte-vBhBFEiwAQSv_xfygncJPohDmXGepyekG_STjPZ__9m32imUI576nfF0-pRMKFvHjpBoCgYEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds https://www.newrulefx.com//?rfsn=7905258.08b4eb&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=influencers&utm_campaign=7905258.08b4eb https://catcaveco.com/?rfsn=7905245.a94ce74

We've done a month now for I used to just be one podcast a week, right and I thought that oh I'm working hard. I said a challenge. I challenge myself as like you know what I'm gonna for I'm gonna try to do 2 weeks where I do a podcast every single day now I'm just gonna see how it goes I'm just gonna see what happens and I figured I would run out a material really quick, but instead all it's done is it's like put me into this next gear where I think there's just one thing now where I get super excited to record this podcast the whole day and then I sit down and I just kind of get I like space out and I forget like I have so much right. I have so much I have this thing  6 00:02:35,360 --> 00:03:35,260 I I'm' literally um on the spectrum in some way because I'll have so many things, I'll have so many things going through my brains, so many ideas and I have all that but. Sometimes I don't know where the fuck to start and then when I sit down it's like, uh, that's why writing is a lot. That's why I'm a reader and a writer in a talker. I enjoy talking I think talking speaking, talking shit out of my little twists and venaculars is my favorite part about expressing myself because you can do things with the auditory you cannot do as with writing but as far as in taking the information I prefer to read it and whatnot, but anyways please leave a rating please subscribe and do all those good things you know that help us out and please please please share the podcast with somebody I told John the last episode I'm gonna say it a couple more times cause I never know whose first time it is listening to this podcast.

It doesn't matter to me what matters to me is that we all treat each other with respect and make fun of the things that are stupid about each other there's plenty of stupid things about me and you should be able to make fun of them as soon as you are trying to censor people. Right as soon as you're trying to shut people up you're in the wrong. If you disagree with somebody block them, block them,  8 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,560 uh,  9 00:04:08,560 --> 00:05:06,880 do whatever you gotta do but or just remove them out of your life. If it's in real life or on the Internet, just remove these move the things you don't like, but as soon as you're trying to silence them you're in the wrong. Everybody has even a fucking Satanist. Uh uh these Hamas people, uh, the Westboro Baptist Church like the worst of the worst they are allowed to voice their opinions and instead of shutting them down what we need to do is beat them with logic because logic tends to prevail. Um, even though sometimes it doesn't like I don't think there was voter fraud. I do think Joe Biden got 81 million votes just because there's a lot of fucking stupid people and it shows how powerful the media is the only corruption I think that happened during that election was just the mass sciop by the mainstream media and the Hollywood elites and what? Not of convincing the average person about the type of monster that Donald Trump is? Because why wouldn't they do' that to the guy that's coming after them of course he has? His? Own ego  10 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:18,420 of course he has his own drive and own ambitions and blah blah you have to be kind of a megalomaniac to wanna be the President of the goddamn United States. Okay, right? Think about any there's no way I would ever want that job okay  11 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,160 so but if if if you're good at it  12 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,500 and you have those personality traits why not? You know what I mean and he came out he couldn't be bought  13 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,360 I don't know,  14 00:05:28,360 --> 00:06:28,280 you know the story. If you're listening this you don't need to hear this shit and if you're gonna tell somebody to listen to this who doesn't agree with this you're probably never gonna listen this you're gonna see a dangerous misinformation. What is this to Joe Rogan? Spin off fuck off dude who cares bro, but yeah, I think um realistically I think Joe biden's doing a great job okay for a guy with dementia. He is doing a superb job cause if you ever gone into work extremely hungover or feeling sick or tired didn't get any sleep the night before, it's hard as shit to be productive. It's hard as fuck to get anything done and usually then if you go back and look at what you did the day before where you weren't feeling well you probably feel pretty terrible about it right so imagine if you had dementia imagine if you were like 90 years old and you had dementia and you were the face of a shadow government. Right for being all these things right for a guy that shits his pants and falls off of a bicycle and sniffs kids. He's doing a pretty fucking good job dude  15 00:06:28,280 --> 00:07:22,500 the world is still standing okay I mean, there might be 2 wars on 2 simultaneous fronts that wouldn't have happened if somebody with any sort of authority and any sort of intimidation factor and any sort of competence would have had uh the borders close, showing strengths in our country and then showing people overseas if they fuck around and they find they'll find out kind of how he stopped nuclear war from breaking out in North Korea and everybody thought, oh, when Trump becomes president the world's gonna fall apart and all the things that have happened under Joe Biden are gonna happen. But he's still my point still stands for being a guy with dementia he's the greatest president. Joe Biden is the greatest president with dementia we've ever had, and I think that we ever will have and I can't imagine a scarier job than being Joe biden's doctor can you imagine being the person pumping the President of the United States full of enough drugs to go on TV and read that fucking teleprompter stumbling through it  16 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,200 that guy, eh?  17 00:07:24,200 --> 00:08:23,500 They have to he has to be pumpful of so much uh, I don't even know what they give him right? I I've no idea right. Remember when Trump got Covid and he was good within like 2 days and then the rest of us were. All laying on fucking when I say us well not me, but the rest of the population was laying on ventilators and having to get the um the experimental Jabot juice. You know what I'm saying, so God knows what kind of shit that they pump into Butthole Bite and just to make him be able to get up to the podium and recite the things that his handlers are telling him to say before his wife grabs him by the hand and gives him his warm milk and tucks him in to bed at night so we can go bail his kid out from making millions of dollars overseas in Ukraine anyways. Dude, I think it's super racist um I think it is really racist that they are locking up essential items and selected targets  18 00:08:23,520 --> 00:09:10,340 okay, let me start that over, I think it is super racist that they are locking up essential items in certain targets and inner city areas because uh, who lives in inner city areas? People of color okay so this means when young black teenagers want to go loot they have to drive like 20 miles to go. We be able to loot because all the shits locked up in their own neighborhood and that is fucking racist because if we know anything about young black people according to Democrats is that they don't have drivers licenses, they don't have IDS. So how the frick are they supposed to get from point A to point B so they can go steal laundry detergent that makes no sense and that is the most racist shit I've ever experienced in my 33 years of life. Besides, when they shut down movie theaters and black people had nowhere to speak.  19 00:09:13,080 --> 00:10:11,480 Yeah, it's messed up dude we've came uh you know. I thought Riley Reid has broken down all racial barriers and we've moved beyond this nonsense I thought we've moved beyond this sort of discrimination and it makes me appalled it makes me appaled to be an American knowing that these injustices are going on it makes me wanna side with the Hamas people putting towels around Washington D. C. Monument's heads, you know, because that is just beautiful there's nothing that shows more how far we've came with our inclusions then showing people supporting a terrorist organization uh, spray painting our national murals and standing outside of the same White House that let them in right the same people that opened up their borders and let you in and invited you to come in and get away from the warm torn place that you came from and make a better life for yourself. There's no better waves saying thank' you then go in and spray painting their national murals  20 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:55,220 and putting your flags over them right because why would you ever who? Why? Would you move to a new country and not bring the old bullshit with you that you escaped from, you know what I mean. That would make 0 sense. It would make 0 sense to pack up all your shit to try to get away from the things that made you flee in the first place and then leave them there like why would you take on the new identity of the nationality the night you're living at that has welcomed you' with open arms and giving you every opportunity in the world to succeed? That would just be silly I'm just a silly guy, you know. I got dreams, I got ambitions I have silly little things that cross my mind that I think are possible and that's just something that' I think is possible, but I don't think is ever gonna happen and it might just be an unrealistic  21 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,440 ask.  22 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:45,220 But you know you're just sitting one of' those meetings where it's a big company wide meeting and you're all sitting there and then one of the one of the mid level managers gets up there and they start talking about all the profit, all the gains that the company made they start showing all these charts about how much more money the company made that universe and like oh yeah, like high 5 and then clap it with each other, but none of you ever get a raise so you just gotta sit there and I remember the very first time this happened to me right and I made the dumbest decision where I because I'm stupid I raise my hand. I say oh so so what's gonna happen with' all this new money coming in and the response was like whoa what do you mean? That's just company? It's company? Profits like oh so we're not getting a bonus or we're not getting anything. Okay, it's just going into  23 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,320 the bows,  24 00:11:48,320 --> 00:12:07,660 it's just going into Rick ross's pockets, huh? And that is what I can't do dude I don't give a fuck, I can't do it anymore bro. I can't sit in these environments where I gotta put pronouns in my email handle and be like as per my last email or go work hourly standing in some fucking  25 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,400 ah dude,  26 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,700 it's terrible  27 00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:13,660 excuse me.  28 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:25,540 Ah man, just the thought of like dealing with that shit bro. I got my backs against the fucking wall bro I need you guys to share this goddamn podcast cause my backs against the fucking wall.  29 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,020 I'm uh  30 00:12:27,160 --> 00:13:26,340 but it feels good. It feels good to have your back against the wall like I always like I love being under pressure. I love pressure. Getting comfortable like comfort is a step towards death okay the more comfortable you are the more the closer you are to death when you put your body and your emotions and your mind through strenuous situations that's how' you become alive right? It's like taking a cold shower it's how you replenish all the mitochondra in your body or the how you when you work out you break the muscle down to build new muscle like you need to strain yourself to be able to get better things and that's out as what's life to with' the intangibles you gotta have your back against the wall, you just gotta say fuck it and quit your job and not have a backup plan and then just dive deep into something and you know, burn the ships bro burn the fucking ships. That's my advice and I don't know if you want to take that advice it doesn't pay off for me. Uh, you know. 6 months ago I had 50 grand in a checking account and now I do not have 50 grand in a checking account  31 00:13:26,520 --> 00:14:26,440 so take that with you know but maybe a year from now let's have this conversation again when you you might be sitting there at your job. You're too scared to quit and I'm sitting there making hundreds of thousands of dollars for talking shit and entertaining people who knows, but I know that's what I see. I see. It, I don't dream it, I see it. I work towards it. I try to put the pieces together and it's not even a money thing for me I don't give a fuck about the money. I'm telling you right now I' could be a millionaire I'm gonna be wearing the same shit I'm gonna have the same watch on I'll have a nicer camera probably have a nicer setup here because I can hire people to do that for me, but I'm still gonna be driving a Ford Escape because I think the Ford Escape is the great. The 2017 Ford Escape is the greatest sports car ever invented and yes, I called a sports car just depends on what sport you're referring to okay, it's a sports car. If' I take it' to go play golf that's a sport alright if golf can be a sport, my 4, 2017 Ford Escape can be a sports car okay  32 00:14:26,440 --> 00:15:17,960 it's got all wheel drive. It gets like 25 miles to the gown it's got a turbo engine in' it' alright 2.4. 4 cylinder engine right it's pretty quick. I think it tops out at like 120 or something like that I've never had to go that fast because the acceleration with the all wheel drive in the grip just so anyways I could be a millionaire. I would still just be driving my lesbian fort escape until it runs into the ground and I don't give a fuck about money. The only thing I want is to not have to listen to somebody to go, hey jump! And then I got a jump because somebody else has to make themselves feel important with the backing of a giant corporation behind them that's why I just don't. I don't care how successful somebody is. I don't care how much money somebody. It doesn't impress me the only thing that impresses me is people that build. Businesses if you're not building a business or' creating a art or if if you're not the person that's creating something  33 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,300 I don't give a fuck.  34 00:15:19,440 --> 00:16:19,380 If you've worked your way up through the ranks I don't care. That doesn't mean shit to me it means literally absolutely 0 to me you can be the CEO of Google. I don't give a fuck what you didn't start Google. It doesn't matter to me you're not the creator, you're just a guy that played the politics well enough you went to a good enough school, you got your education whatever. You have the skills to run this thing but you don't have the skills that I admire for the the crazy bastard that started that shit and I'm sure the CEO of Google doesn't give a fuck what I think but I'm just saying in general what the people I'm dealing with somebody's sitting there trying like flex on me with some like material shits like bro, I don't care. What have you created? What legacy are you leaving right you're gonna get what? A fake gold watch from your employer someday, a pat on the back and then be replaced. I could fall off the earth tomorrow there's still gonna be hundreds of hours of bullshit that my great grandkids can go back and listen to and be like, wow, my grandfather was fucked up anyways, bro. I like driving slow in the left lane just to remind people to. Slow down and smell the flower. Sometimes you know  35 00:16:19,480 --> 00:17:16,700 everybody's always in a hurry and I think it's good for us to just kind' of pump the brakes literally in metaphorically speaking, so I encourage you all when you have all the time in the world just get in the left lane slow everybody down they will appreciate it they will probably Hank out of joy and just to remind you back. You know what I'm very grateful that somebody reminded me that life moves way too fast and sometimes we just need to slow down so everybody get in the left lane drive slow. Be sure.

In a reality TV landscape filled with controversy and sensationalism, Jill Duggar stands out as a figure with the potential to become a voice of reason and bring awareness to the cult she escaped from. Her journey out of the cult offers hope for others who have faced a similar situation, and with her platform, she has the potential to shed light on the inner workings of the cult and ultimately bring about positive change. However, the decision to speak out is not an easy one, as it would require Jill to confront painful memories and endure potential backlash. In this podcast, we will explore the controversies surrounding the Duggar family, the potential media projects they may be involved in, and the impact of Jill using her experience for the greater good. Let's delve into the complexities of Jill Duggar's story and the potential power of her voice.Jill Duggar, a former member of the Duggar family, has the potential to become a voice of reason and bring awareness to the cult she escaped from. Just like Ron Miscavige, who escaped Scientology and became an outspoken critic, or Megan Phelps, who grew up in the Westboro Baptist Church and now stands against hate groups, Jill has an opportunity to make a significant impact.----------Listen to Aaron on his podcast, WSTR: Galactic Public AccessConnect with Doug Levinson on his Twitch Channel----------Support The Cinedicate on PatreonConnect with The Cinedicate on these social platforms!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cinedicate/Twitter: https://twitter.com/cinedicate/Discord: https://www.cinedicate.com/discord Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Megan Phelps-Roper is a social activist, public speaker and author known for her insights into religious extremism. Harry Potter is the most banned book of the 21st century. Firstly frowned upon by far Right Christian groups for its promotion of witchcraft, the controversy has recently pivoted to the far Left who have concerns that JK Rowling is promoting transphobia. The obvious question is, how did one of the most beloved children's authors of all time end up here? Expect to learn the reason behind the widespread backlash and cancellation of JK Rowling, whether Rowling is worried about ruining her legacy, how the platforms like 4chan and Tumblr were so pivotal in this movement, just how similar the trans rights movement is to the gay rights movement, Megan's perspective on the “What Is A Woman” documentary, how Megan's upbringing in the Westboro Baptist Church gives her a unique insight on this story and much more...

Megan joins the Armchair Expert to discuss what it was like to leave the Westboro Baptist Church community, her views on organizations who use shame to control people, and what power people can have in asking questions. Megan and Dax talk about why having compassion for people who are different from you is important, being taught to question everything no matter the cost, and why freedom of speech is such a controversial topic. Megan explains how she was argued out of her belief system, why she agreed to be apart of a podcast about J.K. Rowling, and why having dissenting opinions is the key to a successful pluralistic society.

F*** Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist ChurchTW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we'll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it's relevant to the story we're telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. This episode carries a very strong TW for homophobia, as well as trigger warnings for misogyny, transphobia, toxic theology, antisemitism, abortion, street preaching, and deaths of soldiers at war. We've made it our policy not to repeat slurs in quotes on our podcast, but we will make reference to them, and we will be talking about these things as sensitively as we can, and we'll give you a heads up before anything especially heinous.

In this episode, we examine a series of Sam's conversations centered around religion, atheism, and the power of belief.  First, we hear the stories of three guests who have fled their respective oppressive religious organizations. We begin with Sarah Haider, founder of the advocacy group Ex-Muslims of North America, who details how her encounters with militant atheists catalyzed her journey to secularism. Then our narrator, Megan Phelps-Roper, walks us through her story of abandoning the Westboro Baptist Church. Finally, Yasmine Mohammed presents her harrowing account of escaping fundamentalist Islamism and Sam's role in inspiring her public advocacy work. We then tackle the concept of belief more broadly, diving into Sam's understanding of atheism and what sets it apart from the views of other atheist thinkers like Matt Dillahunty and Richard Dawkins. We also revisit an infamous conversation between Sam and Jordan Peterson, wherein they attempt to come to some universal definition of the word “truth.” The episode concludes with two Q&A portions from life events in which Sam addresses some real concerns about purpose and meaning in the absence of religion.   About the Series Filmmaker Jay Shapiro has produced The Essential Sam Harris, a new series of audio documentaries exploring the major topics that Sam has focused on over the course of his career. Each episode weaves together original analysis, critical perspective, and novel thought experiments with some of the most compelling exchanges from the Making Sense archive. Whether you are new to a particular topic, or think you have your mind made up about it, we think you'll find this series fascinating.
