The churches I grew up in have all gone hard left, all the old men that guided them are dying, the young ones are all cultural christian cucks that everyone feels the need to fellate over keeping good practice and doctrine

I wouldn't say my church is gone yet, but the cancer has metastisized and the next generation is already clearly lost

it's depressing

That's why I say protestantism dilutes the word of God in this nation honestly.

And through taking the individual's faith they take the faith of the nation as well

Even if they'd keep to sola scriptora it'd be better (I know few of you guys believe that, but it's the only sound doctrine if you don't have a church tradition), but now it's just so much feel good bullshit

Claire is changing account btw

Are you allowed to take the mic at all

I know I'm redeemed, don't let me forget that behind platitudes like when I fuck up it's totally fine.

idk, I'm not good enough with speaking, I have in the past but I'm too technical and spastic, it falls on deaf ears even when I get myself sorted enough to pull it

I pray God guides you man

turn to God

@Mozalbete ⳩ unban claire's old acc if u did

thanks

just pray for me on that guys, cause I don't know where to go from here. My cousin is one of my best friends, and he's been sucked into 6 months of YWAM conditioning so he's gonna be even further in that bad way when he gets back, and idk who I'm gonna have left if I can't find a safe church soon. I don't have much faith in my girlfriend's church as a community, I just need some rescue at this point

My question is why are you a part of a church that only has an unsound doctrine like sola scriptura.

@SUPER MALE VITALITY™ For things to be done right, you have to do them yourself. In whatever community you find, try to create a group where you set the rules

@Based Chav Our friend here is part of the communities he has grown with, don't hammer him over it, since there is nothing wrong with looking for a group of study

@Mozalbete ⳩ get in chat?

It's hard to make a leader out of someone who only ever wanted to follow. I always grew up with trustworthy shepherds, it's hard negotiating a world where I'm forced to become one or be led astray

adapt and overcome

I always trusted God would send leaders to guide me, but that was never a promise

maybe God wants you to man up

it's hard confronting the realities of what was promised versus what was given, and was so easily taken

In my personal experience, God has shown me that those with little faith tend to be better people than those who claim to be raised Catholics

I only recently turned heavily to tradition though, but I have discerned that most people around me are not themselves

It's a process and a refinement, right now I'm still grappling with just how ill prepared I've been to do what is asked of me, trying to pray for guidance and for a path to be laid out

What has been helping me was to disconnect from the world (not socially, just not messing with anyone)

I wasn't given the gift of leadership, and what gifts I have are so squandered all I want is to do that, just get away and live a hermit's life until I can be healed and actually help save others

Maybe something that doesnt require leadership, like periodical reunions to study

What happened to ragnarok

scroll up

Might be what I need, I had plans for a tradprot monastery at one point, but that's a lot of logistics for someone operating alone

Not something that big lmao

But if you go to some parish or whatever

And there is no similar group of study

You could start one, where you just agree to met, and discuss some topic

If you want things to not to be distorted you have to do them yourself

Men are often tested, if you had good leaders follow their example and always strive for virtue, with this in mind following their steps will become clearer
