The Orthodox are “post-Trib” on that question because we see in 1st Thessalonians 4 that Saint Paul is explaining to the Faithful that mortal death doesn’t bar one from being united with Christ upon His Return. It’s not describing events that preceed the Tribulation. By the time of the Great and Terrible Day of The Lord, the Tribulation is already past.
For whatever reason, this isn’t sufficient for some people; but that is beyond my control 😄

Well I’m not trying to convince you of anything here - in this thread I’m describing my experience as the bass player in a small town Baptist Church in regards to their take on the Rapture.
Orthodox are “in the “post-Trib” camp” as far as that goes - the Tribulation is before the “Rapture”

Yeah I went to a small-town Baptist church for about three years, and the pastor tended toward post-Trib, though there were a few congregants who were pre-, and his general comment was “what’s important: we win!”

I think you can find Baptists on both sides

The passage in Thessalonians is Traditionally understood to be an event immediately preceeding the Great and Terrible Day of The Lord. In American Evangelicalism, this is interpreted as happening before the Great Tribulation. So it’s a timeline shuffle. In Protestantism you hear of “Pre-Tribulation” and “Post-Tribulation” Rapture.

The Rapture of American Evangelicalism is different from the Traditional understanding of
> “then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
‭‭~ 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭
It’s my understanding that passage is called “The Rapture” in some Traditional Western literature. But it’s been distorted with Evangelicalism into the sudden disappearance of millions of true believers just before the Tribulation

Hol up hol up; Rapture can refer to two distinct things/ideas; you might be talking past each other

Yeah it’s real; but it’s typically pushed back against and kept in check which is more than I can say of basically any other visible institution these days 🍻

Some of the big metropolitan World Orthodox parishes get some big-money families occasionally with a feminist streak - but it’s absolutely the sort of place you can tell them you don’t approve of that sort of thing and they can’t rightly tell you you’re wrong 😄

Hump is, in one real sense, generally correct about the relative merit of going balls-deep into topics such as these: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing after all.
But what I was referring to specifically is NLP = NeuroLinguistic Programming — which I tend to regard as a *Psionic* discipline, but that would likely raise many objections from the general direction of the establishment. It’s usually lumped in with hypnosis, with which it has some overlap.

Yeah I had a fifteen-year long cat allergy that was erased in about 30 seconds’ worth of NLP - and that held strong for about seven years after which it began to reemerge. I think there’s a bit more going on than that allergies are “all in the head” - but rather, that these various systems actually interface and engage with each other clear down to the epigenetic level.

It’s poorly defined and understood for now; but it’s been observed that enzymes “know” where to start and where to end a transcription, for a given task. There isn’t a good explanation for this within the current paradigm

The Skyward Sword remake for Switch fixed basically all the problems - it is an excellent title in the series.
My favorite, however, in the whole series, is engineering Zonai contraptions in TotK. The whole game revolves around getting the Zonaite set bonus ASAP, exploiting glitches and Fuse Entanglements, and building the most impressive crap possible within the part limit 😄

By my reckoning, 2008 GFC is a good solid “hour of death” for The West. That’s when our manufacturing base was not only already being chopped up and shipped overseas, it became impossible once and for all for us to *stop* it at scale.

How do you figure ? By my reckoning a civilizational collapse is the very quintessence of a SMD. I’ve seen it comparably applied against many such things.

What does civilizational collapse have to do with the fate of the boomers, you say ?
Well, I’m glad you asked.
You’ve probably noticed we didn’t just have some mass obvious die-offs of people dropping dead on the streets

Of course I am; it’s a reasonably decent explanation for why hard civilizational collapse scenarios tend to be quite rare - so they usually progress imperceptibly on the scale of decades, and only appear disastrous in retrospect.
In the case of The West, it’s been dead since 2008. The GFC is now about eighteen years old. Since we’ve had what amounts to an entire childhood to look back, the signs of it are very clear. While certain local trend-bucking does happen, the overall picture is one of steady civilizational decay.

Not sure what you mean; I’ve been aware of the inevitability of death most of my life. Sad fact of the matter for boomers is - while they could conceivably have been there for their Greatest and Silent forebears - Gen-X on simply won’t be available, let alone secure enough to finance their senescent care

I’m talking about boomers; many of them are still going to live through this - at least long enough to experience it being extracted

It’s still possible in my mind that mistrial by hung jury was the desired outcome for the State. While not super likely, they could’ve put a guy in there whose sole purpose was to hang the jury. Stranger things have happened.
