How I escaped Twitter

Now, now. Memorialists or symbolists are perfectly willing to say Christ is present at the Lord’s Supper. He is one with the Father and with the Spirit, and he is certainly spiritually present.

When he said, of the bread in the Last Supper, “This is my body” and “Do this in remembrance of me,” he meant our future communions to be a memorial symbol of his only sacrifice, on the cross, as the Lamb of God. So he is present symbolically, in the bread and wine, every bit as much as his body was present in the bread and wine he and his disciples ate at the Last Supper.

So, what we deny is that there is any change in the substance of the wafers and wine. This is unnecessary to suppose, for a whole variety of theologically and scripturally sound reasons, as of course you know, Dr. Sviegel. But for others, I explain in depth in this video (and its predecessor, but this has the meat of the argument):

It’s been over three weeks since I quit posting original content on X.com. I continue to be totally apathetic about it. I feel no renewed pull to post. Any desire I have to engage is satisfied by posting my response here on SangerFeed and linking to it there.

In fact I do feel like I’m communicating to people here—if not yet, then in time. I know the following will grow.

True, and important. Jesus was King of the Jews. So, of course, he was a Jew.

But I hate to break it to you, but that means he was the long-awaited Messiah. And this Messiah and his Apostles said that faithful Gentiles, by their faith, become children of God, true Jews, chosen subjects of the promised kingdom of God, etc.

“And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” (John 10:16)

One fold, but Gentiles are not really children of the Kingdom, are they?

“And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Mt 8:11-12)

Ray (BitChute founder) is correct.

Well, let’s be clear. BitChute doesn’t actually permit porn; but freedom of porn never was the kind of free expression that it actually mattered to protect. Political speech (and ancillary kinds, such as philosophical and cultural commentary) is what matters to protect. And that is precisely the kind that is under the gravest attack today.

BitChute *does not* censor or deboost any political (or cultural, etc.) speech. If it did, I wouldn’t be associated with it. But I did agree to be on BitChute’s Advisory Board. I have been asked to advise dozens of startups. I almost never agree. BitChute was an easy “yes.”

There’s certainly something broken on X.com when Shlomit Aharoni Lir, with 2,397 followers, can get 171 retweets and 348 likes with a screencap of my post. Meanwhile, if I myself had tried to post the same thing a month ago, when I was still on X.com but greatly throttled, I guarantee I wouldn’t have broken 10 retweets.

In the meantime, I’m 100% OK with communicating with the world on my own platforms.

We live in an age in which what formerly would have been understood to be grave sin has been normalized. Both this fact and its consequences must be carefully explained to younger people, and indeed to many older people—Western society has been swimming in this muck for a very long time indeed.

The normalization of widespread wrongdoing does not remove the consequences. It does make us fail to connect our behavior with its consequences, though.

It falls to more enlightened people to tell the rest of us that it really is a dirty swamp we’re swimming in, and what it means. It’s been so long that these moralistic messages have been given voice, they sound edgy and fresh again. So there’s that, anyway.

Then you’ll miss my stuff. So be it. I don’t care anymore. I’m not going to support a platform that refuses to support me. Why should I? Nobody sees my tweets anyway. Even if I pay the $228 per year, my reach is a fraction of what it used to be—if I do pay that much, my reach is comparable to an account with only 5,000 followers, and also with an upper limit to how widely any given post can disperse. It’s not just insulting, it’s literally a waste of time. If I put time into my own platform, I can build my own audience in a place that I have more control over.
