Ep. 242 – Black Hat/White Trouser Stain & Soul-Winning on Sniffies
358 Plays26 days ago
This week we’re discussing an absolutely insane story that the mainstream press hasn’t done a great job of covering. Over the past couple of weeks, the Las Vegas Police, the FBI, and several southern Nevada law enforcement offices conducted a sting targeting online predators. They nabbed eight .pdf files, but two men in particular drew attention from the general public: Redemption Church pastor Neal Creecy and the Executive Director of the Israel Cyber Defense Division Tom Artiom Alexandrovich. This is a wild story, and we think you’ll be as shocked as we were to learn the details!

Humorous Speculations and Misunderstandings
00:00:00
Speaker
Are we sure? Actually, dude, in hindsight, and I don't think this was part of his defense, ah but are we sure, like with all this missions work, he wasn't just starting a mission, like, like a ministry organization on how to reach 14-year-old boys who want to have sex with older men?
00:00:18
Speaker
Isn't that what hermeneutics is? No, that's a study of hermeneutics. Fuck, is that what the... It's herpenotics.
00:00:29
Speaker
i I took hermeneutics in liberty, which means I wasted my money and
Personal Life Events and Home Repair Struggles
00:00:35
Speaker
nothing. How long since your last outbreak? Yeah.
00:00:56
Speaker
everybody, we are back with another episode of Growing Up Christian. I'm Sam. I'm Casey. And Casey, i i didn't I texted you earlier this week. Oh, first off, skipped last week.
00:01:08
Speaker
Sorry guys. ah Life's crazy and um couldn't get our shit together to find time. to that We had availability the same night. And some of that ah has to do with um last week I texted you about right like mowing my lawn, right.
00:01:27
Speaker
And driving by my well cap and just sinking into mud. Like there's water, like just pooling up from the ground. I'm like, I've been in this house for six weeks.
00:01:38
Speaker
That's it. And I was like, it's funny when like you just get sick of shit like that. Like my first thought was like, what if I walked off my riding lawnmower and just went straight into traffic, just walked into the street and was like, that was it. That's all it took.
00:01:53
Speaker
You know when you get to a point where just like something else, you just go, I don't want, and I don't, like, I don't really want to die. I just want to give up and no one will let me. So there's only one way out.
00:02:05
Speaker
No. So I'm like, I don't even know. Little Shrek swamp in the backyard. Yeah. Is it in backyard or front yard? It's in the front yard. It's like, i don't know, 25, 50 feet from the street.
00:02:17
Speaker
Dude, just dig a little out. Make it a koi pond. Yeah. And I was like, I don't even know what to do. I don't know what to do when things go wrong. Like, I know people who know people who know how to do things, right? Like, some people, like, you know that you went to high school that plumber, that electrician, whatever.
00:02:36
Speaker
And then people who are in certain worlds just – through the nature of their job, run into people of various trades and expertises. So like, I know people who know a guy for everything that they might need a guy for.
00:02:50
Speaker
I don't, I don't have an electrician. i don't have a plumber. I don't have, I've, I, this is my first. Well, I'm like, I still need to get someone out to like test the water and kind of let me know about what the system I have here is.
00:03:02
Speaker
Uh, So I don't have a guy for any of this shit. Make sure that the Derek isn't just plumbed straight into the sewer line. So I always text my father-in-law for stuff like that. He just had um someone work on his well. So he's like, ah the company that he had, he didn't really like. So he's like, call these guys.
00:03:21
Speaker
I call these guys. Daddy, my socks are wet. Yeah. So I leave them a message. I'm like, I hear back the next day and they're like, we're out like a week straight. I'm like, I feel like this is a problem. I can't let go for an entire week.
00:03:34
Speaker
um When you're like putting in a second pool and in your front yard this time, it's like, I don't know. I really shouldn't. That's a lot of water. um Is it was it definitely not that way before?
00:03:47
Speaker
No, absolutely I've mowed my lawn like four or five times since I moved in, and it was look it was nice and crisp over there. No problems. um So they're like, here's what we know here's another guy you can call.
00:04:00
Speaker
He's great. He was like same day coming out. He put in a temporary line. He's like, yeah, you have a you have a broken line, ah essentially, is what that is. We go, how does that even – I don't know how long this well has been here, but I've been here six weeks and this is the same. Well, that's probably been here for 20 something years.
00:04:17
Speaker
Um, why now that does, he's like, well, it's probably been, it's probably been broken for a while. Like by the time you see water, it's probably been broken for a while, but they were great. They were able to come out the next, like the next day with the activator, dig everything up, replace the line, blah, blah, blah. But I'm like,
00:04:35
Speaker
ah just How bad was it? um In what way? Financially? Emotionally? Yeah, how much did they charge you? It was $1,200. oh Yeah, that sucks.
00:04:48
Speaker
Yeah,
Quest for the Perfect Pillow
00:04:49
Speaker
it's not fun, especially because, oh my God, I don't think I shared this one. um i had i have I have the in-ground pool and I mentioned needing to get the pool cover put in, right? I haven't and don't think said anything else about this.
00:05:03
Speaker
um So I had a company come out. um The pool cover was already here. they have to screw the, like the 12 inch, whatever, 16 inch, whatever they are bolts into the patio and then make sure that they're all lined up. Right. So they, I can close my pool.
00:05:20
Speaker
Um, and that the install wasn't, wasn't going to be much, um, kind of within the ballpark of what I was expecting. And i so the guys come out, they roll out the cover that I have here and they're like,
00:05:37
Speaker
Hey, I got bad news for you. This, this was like three days before the well incident. So they're like, bad news is, uh, this is the wrong size cover. And they're like, did you buy this? I go, no, this was here in the house that I bought.
00:05:52
Speaker
And they're like, this is a brand new cover. It's never been, it's obviously never been used. Uh, so the guy who flipped the house probably bought the wrong size cover. Um,
00:06:04
Speaker
Bad news is I went from having ah what I thought was a free cover or one that should have come with a pool because pools should have covers ah to having to buy it. like The covers are like $3,000.
00:06:19
Speaker
Yeah. because you they And I'm like, so between the pool cover and the fucking... I'm like, all right, put it on the credit card, I guess. Like, I don't... Dude, just let it go. Make it into a koi pond.
00:06:33
Speaker
yeah It's like, you can't not do anything about it I'm like, I... I don't know. it It's so frustrating because like there was some stuff that... like I had a rainy day fund. I held some money back from when I sold my house, but I'm very much depleting it at this point. I thought this was going to hold me over for a while. If I have one more bad thing happen, I i don't know.
00:06:56
Speaker
Take out a small loan, I guess. But it's like... i And even with the well thing, right? You go, I don't know. I need someone to fix this. And i don't really have time to shop around and get quotes.
00:07:10
Speaker
I just like with one company being a week out and they send me to another guy, I'm not going like, all right, let me call like five others and then compare costs. It's just like, I'm kind of just fucked. I just have to fix it.
00:07:24
Speaker
Yeah. Sometimes, I mean, a lot of times home emergency stuff is that way. It sucks. And they kind of know they got you by the balls. Yeah. Oh, yeah. they But I do like the idea of front and back koi ponds.
00:07:39
Speaker
Yeah. what What if you were... okay so how would your neighbors receive it if you did just turn the front yard into a koi pond, but you, like, don't just put koi... Like, lean really heavy into, like, Asian aesthetic.
00:07:53
Speaker
Yeah. yeah Like a fat white anime kid's understanding of what Asian aesthetic would be. Yeah, like that the cats with like the little bouncy hands and um like a sword.
00:08:09
Speaker
Maybe put like a sword on like a makeshift rock mantle by the pond. um Yeah. I'm thinking like like maybe even hire a consultant. Like a 23-year-old with gout that is also really into reading books about Bushido.
00:08:26
Speaker
And just let him kind of do the entire front yard makeover. and That might be good. I feel like they're more of like an ideas person. Like that's like hiring an interior designer. Like we have a lot of really good ideas on what you could make your house look like.
00:08:41
Speaker
um I guess interior designers probably do more. Some people like I imagine the kid like this could paint a beautiful picture of what would look super cool. I have a feeling he doesn't have the know how or the connections to really get it done, though. So I even doubt the first part, but i never know.
00:08:57
Speaker
I'm sure he has ideas. I'm sure he has ideas and he thinks they would look sick. Imagine being ah the person who's just like, I can't afford to do my own ideas, nor would my mom let me. And I'm still living in her basement. So like, I have to go to other people and shop these ideas and make your dreams come true in other people's yards. That'd be fun.
00:09:21
Speaker
I really enjoy finding like, like anime kids on Tik TOK that you can smell through the phone. Like these kids are rough. They don't go outside much.
00:09:32
Speaker
Yeah. And yet they have a Tik TOK where they give people advice. That's like my favorite type of channel right now. Yeah. That's your entire algorithm.
00:09:42
Speaker
is It's completely locked in on who you are and what you like. You talk about like specialty things, though, where you have to like spend a bunch of money. So I was ah I just been having a terrible time with migraines. And I was pretty convinced that like I needed ah some sort of a pillow change to mitigate that.
00:10:06
Speaker
So you got a pillow. I thought about it. But i I was like, hey, let's ah let's go to town. And I need to get a pillow like I need to get a nice pillow. i'm going to spend some money on it and get something decent.
00:10:19
Speaker
Right. What do they put in a nice pillow? um Yeah. or hair That definitely don't justify the cost, but yeah. Endangered bird species feathers.
00:10:31
Speaker
I bought one that had like it was like a foam grid. was very weird. But i wanted to I wanted to look for like wanted to like a you know a place where they sell mattresses because that's where they have a Simmons pillow or something like that, right?
00:10:47
Speaker
Yeah. we drive into town, look up the first like furniture store I find, get there, closed up, building's gone, not really there's it's not there anymore.
00:10:58
Speaker
It's crazy that mattress companies aren't doing well enough to maintain stores anymore. yeah That is such a weird industry because there's so many of them and you never see strip malls especially.
00:11:11
Speaker
There's like this strip mall mattress store is such a weird. Yeah, such a weird lane is a terrible place to go. so we pull up the next one, drive over there and it's like normal business hours. All the lights are on, but the doors are locked and there's nobody in there.
00:11:26
Speaker
Somebody clearly like skipping out on work for the day. So then we go to a third one again in a strip. All of these are in a strip mall. Yeah. And ah walk in and I just like a place like a mattress store.
00:11:40
Speaker
I just assume that the whoever is like manning the ship at a mattress store all day is probably going to be kind of odd, you know? Yeah, so those places exist. like when When you can have like five in the same strip mall, it's very obvious that they exist to wash money.
00:11:57
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. Well, yes, and and that's kind where this goes. So we walk in, and it's perfectly quiet. There's no music playing or anything.
00:12:07
Speaker
And this like kind of just strange old guy, he just kind floats over from the corner of the store, and he's like, good evening, folks. Are you guys in the market for better sleep?
00:12:19
Speaker
Oh, how nice. man That's how he picks up women, too. yeah I got a pill for that. You'll never see it coming.
00:12:32
Speaker
but I'm like, I just I'm I'm ah I'm looking for a pillow. Like, can I see what sorts of pillows you guys carry? And he goes, a pillow, huh? ah Wait, just a pillow? Yeah, just a pillow. And he's like, OK, well, OK, well,
00:12:47
Speaker
e okay well I don't keep a lot of pillows in stock, so my selection is going to be limited. And I'm like, that's fine. I just want to see what you got. You can just is just that that The mouth-tightening contempt that he tries to hide for you.
00:13:02
Speaker
Yeah. the e He goes, okay, well, I do have to warn you. They're very expensive. And I've fucked all of them. Yeah. There's probably some truth to that. A little sticky.
00:13:16
Speaker
You might want to put down a paper towel before you lay your head off. This is the crunchiest goose down I've ever felt. like ah All right. like And then you're you're thinking to yourself, like is this ah is this a judgment on me? the way Do I look like I can't afford a pillow? or like What's going on here? like This is such a weird way to go into a sales situation.
00:13:41
Speaker
ah yeah and Yeah, let me warn you, they're very expensive. I don't think your job is to sell pillows like that, bud. no And I go, oh okay, well, I guess that's fine. and He's like, yeah, he goes, i I just, I don't sell a lot of pillows outright. I usually, you know, they're part of a mattress deal. So most people are like, oh, what's another five, six bucks a month?
00:14:05
Speaker
I'll take a pillow. yeah I'm like, so you only finance pillows? He's like, well, yeah, in a way. And I'm like, okay, well, thanks for help. And if you're buying a mattress, just throw in.
00:14:19
Speaker
like ah better way to frame that is like when when you buy a mattress, it comes with your choice of complimentary pillows. It's like just roll it into the mattress price and lie to people about it being free.
00:14:33
Speaker
You'll move more pillows. Oh, I guarantee you that's what they do. Yeah, I guarantee you by the time you're done, you paid $400 for a pillow. Yeah, that you could probably get at Walmart for 20.
00:14:46
Speaker
It's like it's like the nice one at Walmart. Yeah. I don't, dude, I have, I'm not good. I, I don't get comfortable when I go to bed anymore. And I don't know if that's just and part of falling apart.
00:15:00
Speaker
Uh, or if maybe it's my pillow situation. I feel like I have, you know, I try them, like I try them stacked in different ways. I try various thicknesses. I've tried like the Tempur-Pedic kind that like kind of squishes in. I've tried like, I never go to bed comfortable.
00:15:16
Speaker
And i I don't know. I gave up on the pillow search. I've tried. i haven't done like I haven't really gone for it. Like it'll be like my wife was like, I got I got new pillows. And I'm like, cool. ah When we got well like that mattress, that vacuum sealed in that box, it came with a couple of pillows came with.
00:15:36
Speaker
I paid for them. It was just a hidden and cost. Right. And those ones are like people are like, these pillows are great. You like people seem to like them online. I don't. I'm. don't know, man. Maybe we need to go on this spirit quest together to find the perfect pillow and document the process.
00:15:53
Speaker
Just walk into Denver mattress, just holding hands and being like, here I like him firm. He likes him soft. Do you have one that's split down the middle? We like, we want one long pillow, king size bed.
00:16:07
Speaker
We want like the, um, the temper pedic of, uh, not temper pedic. What is, um, what are the ones with the electron, all the motors and shit. Sleep number. Yeah, we want a pillow number.
00:16:19
Speaker
Oh, look at you. My parents gave it to me because they got a new one. I didn't pay anything for it, but and I have you to say it. Next time you buy a pillow and someone's like, i they're expensive, you go, hey, I have a sleep number, dude.
00:16:33
Speaker
And then they'll be like, oh okay, come on in. Maybe I should just ask my parents for a pillow. yeah like Times are tough. Do you have any you're not using right now?
00:16:46
Speaker
I'm sleeping on my jeans over here.
New Podcast Segments and Relationship Dilemmas
00:16:50
Speaker
When ah my son was born, i was like, you're like in the shittiest. You can't complain about it like You can't complain about the bed in the hospital being wildly uncomfortable after your spouse just passed a child through her birth canal.
00:17:07
Speaker
you don't No one cares. There's no sympathy. ah so like it yeah like It's important that you give your wife room to be very so selfish in that time.
00:17:18
Speaker
Yeah. And she didn't complain at all, which means I really can't. So like if I was like, oh my God, that bed. And then she's like, what? I go, nothing. Like I catch myself. I'm like about to complain.
00:17:32
Speaker
and But yeah, I slept on, um I slept on a balled up sweatshirt when I was in there. Because their pillows were like, their pillows were like three sheets of paper stacked together.
00:17:47
Speaker
It was, they were awful on a brick. You like, it's like three sheets of paper and like you lay on, it's ah camping's more comfortable. The mother fucking nature is more comfortable than. like linen jerky.
00:18:01
Speaker
but we Yeah, sure. But yeah, ah who cares? Slept on a sweatshirt.
00:18:12
Speaker
um Need a new pillow. Now that we got that stuff out of the way, let's ah we get some fun stuff for your ah for everyone tonight. Yes.
00:18:23
Speaker
um Let's roll into our new and only segment. Yeah, wait. No, we have two. We have two segments now that we're going to ah draw out for a little while.
00:18:35
Speaker
Wait, what's I don't remember our other segment. Christian dating! Oh, yes, that's right. Okay, so first... Let me start with that before we get to the meat. Okay, do that one first.
00:18:47
Speaker
Hold on, I got to figure out how to find my save post slow roll into the molestation. Yeah, because... You can't talk about past. That's what we have learned is that you you can't talk about pastors being arrested without really inevitably going in that direction.
00:19:05
Speaker
um We tried to dodge it a little bit the first couple of weeks and there's just no way. You can't make a show out of that. It's that or like fleecing people out of their money. um it's Otherwise, I mean, i don't know what other, I don't know what other things there are.
00:19:20
Speaker
I mean, we did cover that one guy who allegedly murdered his wife after he was like trying to get and then got remarried pretty quickly. Oh yeah ah yeah. We've covered some other stories, but and on the regular pastors are getting arrested for sexual and financial malfeasance.
00:19:38
Speaker
um But Casey brought up the Christian dating world of Reddit, and I subscribe to those channels. And now ah i i came across one today that I thought just...
00:19:50
Speaker
The post itself is funny in so far as we can all understand where it's coming from, but have grown up. um But the first comment is what um is what I appreciated. So how do you control the urge to have premarital sex is what this man is wondering.
00:20:10
Speaker
He says, hello guys, I'm 26 and my girlfriend is 24. We're both Christians and we're church mates for about two years before we started dating.
00:20:21
Speaker
We actually knew each other even longer before that. So our relationship had a good foundation of friendship, which is very important before you start dating. And I think that's one of the things that a lot of Christians get wrong is they meet someone and base their entire relationship on ah sexual attraction, right? They go, wow, that person's really pretty or that guy's really handsome.
00:20:44
Speaker
I think I wanted to date them. And the Christian world goes, you should get married within six months after that. But having that, I i recall a lot of conversations about that solid foundation of friendship ah being very important before you really do start dating.
00:21:01
Speaker
and Well, I think it's important. There's an important subtext there. We were churchmates for two years means that in our combined total list of contacts, we have 67 people.
00:21:16
Speaker
And it took us two years to slowly whittle through the 10 or 12 in our age range before we realized that this was as good as it was going to get. We might as well like each other. Yeah,
00:21:29
Speaker
That pretty much sums up Christian youth group or Christian school. um However, before we officially became a couple, we fell into a friends with benefits group.
00:21:40
Speaker
situation. He does do parentheses FWB, which is funny because he never uses FWB again. So no point in doing that. Um, okay. It's just a little grammatical thing. That's just little grammatical thing that stuck out to me.
00:21:55
Speaker
Um, or, uh, sentence structure. What's the word? Uh, syntax. I don't know. Fuck it. Um, the part of our story isn't some, that part of our story isn't something we're proud of.
00:22:07
Speaker
This also got me thinking about like the conversations we have of like Game of Thrones where you're like, there's this, there's this part of Christianity that requires you to always point out that you are, you point out, you have to point out the negative, right? You can't watch Game of Thrones without being like, I i love Game of Thrones, but I don't, well I don't like how, I don't like all the sexual stuff.
00:22:30
Speaker
This guy but is ah is pointing out that, hey, this happened and I need to set the groundwork that I am not proud of it. But um it's not ideal, especially considering our values.
00:22:45
Speaker
We've both acknowledged that we fell short in that area. And ever since we've been trying to discipline ourselves, I'm guessing through Christian spankings, I'm not, um, and grow spiritually and emotionally.
00:23:00
Speaker
But honestly, it's not always easy. I honestly want to comment on the, i'll I'll save my initial thought for a comment at the end. We're deeply attracted to each other, and sometimes we struggle to control our physical urges.
00:23:13
Speaker
Despite this, our relationship is steady, mature, and healthy in most aspects. We hardly fight, we communicate well, and we genuinely care for each other. The only major issue we face is lust.
00:23:27
Speaker
Yeah, I feel like this is a thing that Christian kids do when I did it. April and I did it for sure a bunch where it's like, you know, if it is funny how it's like if you were serious about that, if you had values that said we don't want to have sex before marriage, we don't want to do anything physical before marriage and stuff like that's very important to us. It's part of our it's part of our values.
00:23:55
Speaker
Yeah. just don't be alone together ever. know, probably like how hard is it to not grow up each other if you're always around people right now? I don't think that's good advice.
00:24:07
Speaker
I think you should get to know each other before you like jump into a marriage or whatever. Like it's really dumb to predicate your entire relationship on the idea that like you have to avoid physical contact at all costs, even if that means getting married before you're ready and stuff. Right.
00:24:24
Speaker
but if you don't want to touch each other, don't be alone together. It's not that hard. but You don't have to be a Buddhist monk or something like that. Just don't be alone. to just Just go to a softball game or something instead of sitting in your car and dry humping.
00:24:42
Speaker
Go out to coffee, hang out, gather in a group. ah No, it is. But it is funny because that is like... um iram I mean, yeah, obviously I've had these same conversations and you're like, yeah, you're we're trying this or that, but it's like,
00:24:58
Speaker
I lost my train of thought. It was on your don't be alone together. Whatever. ah lost it. Moving on. Slippery slope, right? It's a very slippery slope. Time alone leads to physical contact.
00:25:10
Speaker
Physical contact, like hand-holding, leads to physical contact. Like kissing, kissing leads to what dry humping. Dry humping leads to wet humping. Okay? There's a very clear...
00:25:22
Speaker
it's It's mapped out, okay? Whitehumping is just when you gyrate down a slippery slide, right? A slippery, a slip and slide, right? i Yeah, no, what I was going to the those the the things you say are your form of like confession and penance is what it is. like Yes. Yes.
00:25:41
Speaker
So this guy's post is is what he needed to do to absolve himself from some level of guilt. um So when you go trying to seek out answers.
00:25:52
Speaker
Yeah, but question this is my questions that don't have answers that are going to be reasonable or acceptable because the correct answer is it doesn't fucking matter. You're both adults and that's a part of a relationship and you can do that.
00:26:07
Speaker
Um, yeah. And it can help you get to know somebody good or bad, help you realize certain things. It's, there is that the correct answer is so fucking what, uh, but it obviously doesn't work in that context. So he has to say it so he can feel like he's trying because all it is, is let me do and say little things to pretend like I'm trying so I can still not in my genes when we try hump later.
00:26:32
Speaker
That's it. Um, For some, because the people who have the resolve, shout out to you guys too, by the way, the people who have the resolve to not do it, don't need they're not there are people who just don't actually have a lot of physical intimacy before they're married because they just actually are committed to those values.
00:26:53
Speaker
These values aren't his, they're ones that he inherited that he feels bad about not upholding. Yeah, same with those other people you mentioned. Yeah. ah So he goes, let's finish let's wrap let's round this out.
00:27:05
Speaker
ah My girlfriend has a higher sex drive, and I also feel the same intensity, especially because we're both inexperienced. We haven't dated anyone seriously before each other.
00:27:16
Speaker
I think our strong emotional connection makes the physical temptation even harder to is resist. We've prayed about our struggles and we genuinely want to honor God in our relationship. But during moments of temptation, it's incredibly difficult for us to not give in to each other's touch.
00:27:32
Speaker
How can we work this out? How can we stay disciplined and still enjoy a healthy, godly relationship even though we struggle with sexual temptation? Now, brother, i hear what you're saying.
00:27:43
Speaker
Okay, I hear what you're saying. And I think I got something that might help. I want you to go home. I want you to Google self-suck.
00:27:52
Speaker
Google image it.
00:27:56
Speaker
Every post is like this on Christian dating. like every yeah it It almost doesn't matter what the context of the of the question or the post is.
00:28:07
Speaker
Every post has this mea culpa section where you assure the the readers that you're cut from the same cloth and that you feel very bad about the things that you're doing wrong.
00:28:19
Speaker
It's a... It's just such a dumb distraction. That's that's like honestly one of the things that like it's still just like lingers with me that that one of the few things that still is like irritating to me about, you know, Christianity and stuff, you know, as it relates to me.
00:28:37
Speaker
was just how much time i spent worrying about this when I really just should have been having a ton of fun with my future wife and getting to know each other and doing all sorts of fun things instead of sitting around and like pretending we were so concerned about, you know, the fact that we made out or whatever.
00:28:59
Speaker
Right. Um, The comment, it was like it was a response that really i just thought where it was... um I mean, it's always the responses, right? There was one in particular that I really liked. Oh, yeah. ah No, someone quoted a Bible verse incorrectly and out of context. ah Maybe I'll find it. But the first post was from ah Pretend Farmer8919. If you've dated over a year and... Oh, man, no.
00:29:28
Speaker
Dang, all the... ah right. If you've dated over a year and trust her character, just get married and then you don't have to worry about it. Solid advice, pretend farmer.
00:29:41
Speaker
If you don't want to get married yet, the potential of pregnancy should be enough to scare you into keeping it in your pants, dude. I think a middle schooler is responding to this. Yeah. ah He needs the person's never he's got to be Catholic.
00:29:53
Speaker
He's never heard of a celibate is a tactic that's worked for generations, especially among white trash. Can you imagine having a child with someone who won't treat the child well or treat you well?
00:30:06
Speaker
I've been there and it's an awful thought. What the fuck is this guy talking about? I also wouldn't spend tons of time alone laying about the house. Go out and do things in public. Oh, Casey, you guys are pretty much aligned on that. Hey, birds of a feather.
00:30:21
Speaker
But as someone that has saved myself for marriage, it's a choice. I don't know how easy it is to say it other than that. I've had plenty of opportunity, just never acted on it. To pretend farmer, he doesn't pull punches. He tells it like it is.
00:30:36
Speaker
He sure does. um
00:30:41
Speaker
I really just wanted to find the one that was, it's unfortunate they're a little out of order now from when I last looked. as Things have been upvoted. But someone quoted 1 Corinthians 7.9.
00:31:00
Speaker
And they said, ah but if they cannot contain themselves, is that a way to find the actual post? I'm not good at using Reddit. ah It says, but if they cannot contain themselves.
00:31:12
Speaker
Oh, this is the guy. He says, tie the knot proper or take a shower. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 7, 9. But if they cannot contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn.
00:31:25
Speaker
Than to burn. and he stops there. he stops there. When the verse actually goes, then to burn with lust. ah So I really like his omission of the last part to make it sound like the binary of if you pork your girlfriend before you're married, you burn in hell. That's nice. sounds it's a little like taking away from the book.
00:31:45
Speaker
It does, which is, i don't know. I think that's i think that highest holds a higher condemnation value than... Oh, Holy Ghost is reaching for the whiteout. for me yeah That's how I refer to God now. I only refer to him as Holy Ghost.
00:32:04
Speaker
Yeah, a Holy Ghost baptism. yeah All my favorite internet celebrities like ah you know bob hick Bob Hickman and Stephen Baldwin, yeah they all use that same verbiage.
00:32:20
Speaker
Is, uh, Bob Hickman, a man we all know and love at this point. Uh, I just watched a video of him the other day and, um, he's in his FedEx shirt. You can see that.
00:32:30
Speaker
I think he could, it's either his scrote or the tip of his dong. It's hard to tell what it is poking out. Um, and you just get little flashes, tiny little glimpses. Um, And he's what they he the videos about how his ah his old FedEx boss wants his shirts back. And he said he's not giving his shirts back until the FedEx ban is lifted off of him.
00:32:55
Speaker
Dude, I love this guy. He's great. he He's got like a a box of FedEx shirts held hostage and unless they unban him, he won't give them back. And he just does like Porky Pig aerobics in him.
00:33:11
Speaker
yeah Just one more comment because this one was really edifying to the soul. um And I think he has a lot of ah really good prescriptive Christian answers ah that could be helpful to maybe even some of our listeners who still identify as Christian um or who don't and just find value in saving themselves from marriage. But um brother, first of all, I would suggest you – both pray about it to get strength also confession if possible so let go of the mistakes so the past guilt won't burdenen you I don't know what he thinks the original post was, but they covered that ground.
00:33:56
Speaker
ah Afterwards, he has like a five-step program, and I think it's really beautiful. I think you should start like ah Like, uh, it's not like a sex addict synonymous cause you're not a dude. It's just like, ah failing at abstinence synonymous, you know, something like that. I think he might be able to create a successful like 12 step program for, afterwards you both can try to increase your efforts on the love on the other love languages other than physical touch.
00:34:25
Speaker
Love languages like gifts, words of affirmation, and quality time. Just a few examples off the top of my head are going on trips, hikes, walks together, watching movies, playing games together, engaging in a hobby that you both enjoy together, go to church, retreats, camps, together.
00:34:44
Speaker
A relationship. He just explained a relationship. That's what you do. That is something you're obviously going to do. um i He probably has it in his head that everyone just like holes up and horns up and then until they until they're bored. And then they're like, I guess we fucked so much. We should probably go get some fresh air.
00:35:05
Speaker
um Also, there are so many ways to engage in the love languages of physical touch without premarital sex. examples like Examples like hugging, holding hands, kissing in sweet places like the forehead or hands,
00:35:24
Speaker
and playing with each other playing playing with each other's hair, giving each other non-sexual massages. I don't think this guy has any concept of how he just is he's just describing foreplay.
00:35:38
Speaker
Dude, he's getting horny as he writes this. Finger sucking.
00:35:45
Speaker
ah Where are we? ah Giving each other non-sexual massages and just spending quality time with each other in their presence. Basically, I'm suggesting a few ways here you can use to strengthen... He sounds like he's starting like a Christian marketing scheme.
00:36:01
Speaker
I'm suggesting a few ways here you can use to strengthen your relationship without engaging in premarital. I'm sure you can also think of more ways. That is unique to the two of you. Hope this helps. OP goes, we can be wholesome together. We can do non-sexual things for a good four days.
00:36:17
Speaker
But after that, we're just inseparable physically. I think this is also because of the hormones that We resisted when we were students. This is tough. How old are these people?
00:36:29
Speaker
Does it say? OP is 26. Girlfriend is 24. No hope. No. No hope of ever hitting your goals there.
00:36:41
Speaker
No, absolutely not. Actually, the only hope is like waiting like in 10 years, maybe like when the libido drops, they can spend like a good like month together before they have sex.
00:36:53
Speaker
Less repentance makes you feel less guilty. so you know, if it's like once a month versus once a week, you feel like you've made improvements, but really your biology has just changed over time.
00:37:05
Speaker
So maybe like, maybe just don't have either get married or like, I don't know, a chemical castration. That's on the table. That's that pill that they give to perverts.
00:37:15
Speaker
They don't talk about that enough. Yeah. I think ah what I feel like one what you could do with... Christian dating on Reddit is ah you and I could do like a yin and yang twin accounts sort of thing, kind of a spy versus spy profile picture deal.
00:37:31
Speaker
And every post, we don't even read them. Every post, like one of us posts, ah you know, like, like pooper, get off the potty, bro.
00:37:42
Speaker
Just ask her to marry you. And the other chimes in with, a look, man, your relationship is built on ah on a foundation of sin. You should just break up. right now god can't bless this and we just hit him with change lives we just hit him with the nuclear option on both sides yeah do you think anyone's ever do you think anyone's ever read some advice on reddit and then tanked their future because of it you think anyone's ever gotten advice on anything and changed their behavior
00:38:17
Speaker
you're like hey babe i know we have a really good thing going here but the sexual sin is really getting to me. and And post not clear, 69 on Reddit said that I, I mean, I said that I should break up with you ah because I am not able to stop sinning when I'm with you. And I, it's better to cut off my right hand.
00:38:40
Speaker
And in this sense, my relationship with you than to keep sinning. I wonder, I don't know. man what I wonder if any Redditor comment has ever changed the course of somebody's life.
00:38:53
Speaker
Dude, and if she's a woman of God, like a real woman of God, she should respond to you putting Christ first by falling more in love with you, right? And I absolutely, unfortunately, men who love Christ make women so horny.
00:39:10
Speaker
um Very true. it's just, its I think what's super unfair is... um He's like, well, my girlfriend has nice... Look, we know from growing up Christian that... ah and she's actually a ah really bad, like, the she's the bad person here. She's the actual, she's the real Eve in this situation because women don't even like sex.
00:39:33
Speaker
And that's what, we knew that, right? We were, so she's letting you sin and she's just going along with it. And it so that she can hold something over your head because we also learned that women are bitter and manipulative.
00:39:47
Speaker
So really, maybe those should be our, maybe that's, maybe we should go in that lane. Should we go in that lane on our Reddit comments and see if we can really torpedo someone's life?
00:39:58
Speaker
I like that. Just handing out poison pills left and right. That's what I kept thinking about
Las Vegas Sting Operation and Arrests
00:40:04
Speaker
this week. Have you seen the video that's been circulating of the of the kid and his dad doing the like Christian rap? It's the worst.
00:40:12
Speaker
Christian rap. Yes, I have. the Well, unless there's more than one. That's a devil that's inside of you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're good. You're as good as that kid. You like my flow? Yeah, it's not bad.
00:40:25
Speaker
I'm inspired. i might to Yeah, I might start a Christian rap career. i I have a friend who has no – he's tanked his algorithm entirely and he pretty much just gets Christian rap and like how to be a godly person videos and ah conspiracy theory videos on Instagram at this point.
00:40:47
Speaker
he's not religious with never grew up really religious. Like this was just because he started clicking on them because they were funny and he's completely ruined his algorithm entirely. So ah he says, i get, I see him all the time. He's like, how do you, how do you feel about this guy?
00:41:02
Speaker
And it's just like a rapper talking about, you know, the L yeah, same shit. LGBTQ people are all going to hell and he's, he's a man of God and everyone else is a wimp because they're afraid to stand up for truth. And,
00:41:17
Speaker
It's terrible shit. and And despite me working really hard to cater to my algorithm, he sends me those videos. I click on them. Instagram goes, oh, you like that?
00:41:28
Speaker
And then I get more. It's really ah a little disappointing that that's where we're at. Yeah, but that is a perfect segue into our second segment.
00:41:39
Speaker
um pastor arrested, and we've got a doozy today. I was very excited about this story. not That's not a good way of putting it. i was ah I was excited to talk about this this terrible story because ah it's... Dude, it just keeps giving. like Every little detail that I find on it, like every new detail, I'm just like, oh, really? like Google something else. Google something else. Yeah.
00:42:09
Speaker
And it's been in the news quite a bit for a couple of reasons, which we will get to. And I feel like not enough. Maybe like be you know you follow a lot of like independent news stuff. I feel like news as a whole is like, hey, this thing happened. Let's move on.
00:42:26
Speaker
and That is probably true. Yeah, I don't think I'm following many mainstream news sources. And I think normally they would devote more time. We'll get into it more fully, obviously. But I think normally the news would devote more time to a sting operation story like this where pastors were arrested for terrible things.
00:42:51
Speaker
Well, let's um let's get into it. Let's... ah But there's one caveat to the story that I think is making the media dodge it. And I think it'll become clear ah time goes on, because we know we we know the media feels about certain topics these days.
00:43:07
Speaker
Yeah. OK, so jumping right into the headline, Las Vegas pastor thought he was meeting 14 year old boy for sex, says police. Police and federal officials arrested a Las Vegas pastor as he prepared to meet a person he believed was a teenage boy for sex.
00:43:24
Speaker
According to documents, the 8 News Now investigators obtained Monday. Neil Creasy, 46, faces a charge of luring or attempting to lure a child or mentally ill person with the use of computer technology to engage in sexual conduct, records say.
00:43:40
Speaker
That seems like you could have split that into two separate charges. Yeah. Children or mentally challenged people fall under the same category. That's interesting.
00:43:51
Speaker
They're both an at-risk population being victimized, but it's just as strange to see them grouped together. Yeah, I guess i guess it it probably falls into a category of ability to consent.
00:44:06
Speaker
Right. Yeah. Throughout August, the Nevada Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, along with the FBI and several Southern Nevada police departments, arrested at least eight men as part of a sting operation.
00:44:18
Speaker
For the past five years, Creasy has rented space inside the Good Samaritan Lutheran Church on Sahara and Cimarron. And I've worked in Las Vegas a little bit. I know exactly where this is because all the car dealerships are on Sahara.
00:44:31
Speaker
So I've spent a lot of time cruising around over there. Man, you guys probably actually walked... Right by each other before. Yeah. um I should ah i should ah should have gone in and confessed to something, I guess.
00:44:45
Speaker
Asked for prayer. So that's where he operates his religious organization, Redemption Church, church leaders said. On Thursday, August 7th, Creasy allegedly chatted with a person posing as a 14-year-old boy about meeting for sexual contact, police said.
00:45:01
Speaker
Creasy did not provide any images during the conversation, but agreed to meet who he thought was a teenager at a predetermined meeting location, police said. I always wonder how these operations get set up.
00:45:14
Speaker
Like, obviously he's on weird message boards, right? Like, he's in he's in a place. It's not like he got a message on Instagram from someone pertaining to be 14. Like there was reason. He's somewhere looking for some. I imagine they probably stick out like a sore thumb because it's like a ah a space that kind of catered towards kids or young people. And then there's like old guy. just the yeah Dude, exactly. Yeah, Roblox, exactly. Yeah.
00:45:46
Speaker
I can't believe how big that's gotten over the past like couple of weeks here. It seems like everybody's kind of in the know now that Roblox is just a pedophile, ah I don't know, pedophile Pac-Man or whatever.
00:45:58
Speaker
Online Supercenter.
00:46:02
Speaker
Uh, so police recovered an iPad from Creasy, which they said was the device he used in the online conversation. During an interview with police, Creasy admitted to having been involved in the conversation with the decoy and made the utterance. I'm so sorry.
00:46:18
Speaker
Documents. I, I, so before, um, and so we've Casey and I have come up in alignment, uh, past couple of weeks here because uh,
00:46:31
Speaker
I had looked for a story and, uh, before we hit record, we were touching base on where we were going. And I had, uh, I had mentioned this one. Uh, so we both landed on the same one and i the I'm so sorry stuck out to me. Uh, and, know along with, um,
00:46:56
Speaker
W. Don Seaborg, president of the Pastoral Support for Redemption Church, confirmed that Creasy had resigned. As soon as he got out of jail, within an hour or two, he contacted us on a thread message and confessed.
00:47:11
Speaker
He offered his resignation when we met with him later that morning. I think that that's insane because he confessed to what it was and then they met later that morning and he still had time to resign before he was told he was fired immediately.
00:47:33
Speaker
That's yeah crazy. don't know if that's an unemployment situation or what, but yeah, you would share that information. order The first response should be, you do understand.
00:47:46
Speaker
Even if you plan to meet, hey, you know we can meet. i You do know that this is like effective immediately. You were terminated from this world. That man maintained being a pastor of a church for several hours after he confessed to trying to meet up with a 14 year old boy for sex and then had the opportunity to hand in his resignation.
00:48:09
Speaker
Right. Oh, you were asking about where he was that he, uh, that he got into this situation. says that um a police report cited said Creasy communicated with a covert employee posing as a 14-year-old boy on a gay hookup app called Sniffies.
00:48:28
Speaker
The messages reportedly turned sexual in nature and the pastor agreed to meet for sexual activity. He was then arrested. So yeah, he was on Sniffies, which I've heard a couple of times recently. That must be gaining... That must be the new grinder.
00:48:43
Speaker
It's...
00:48:47
Speaker
I wonder if um
00:48:50
Speaker
if it has like – don't know because you could – there are ones that require less identification information. Well, it's like with Roblox, right? You don't – you're not required to provide a lot of details.
00:49:06
Speaker
Sniffies, just the name of it doesn't – it sounds like it may be – It says it's a hookup. Hanging out in that category. Yeah. so And it probably doesn't require a lot of... Because if you're a pastor and whatever, you're going to want to find the place that allows you to provide the least amount of details about yourself in order to find gay sex.
00:49:27
Speaker
Yeah. You know, got to be safe. I think... ah It is interesting, like the the the gay community, the gay the the community of gay men still maintains like kind of these ah like covert hookup meetup apps and message boards on the DL. You can find people for sex and stuff like that. It's interesting.
00:49:51
Speaker
It's interesting in the age where, you know, everything is so public and so out there and there's, you know, all sorts of mainstream apps like that. There still exists this kind of thing. Like, I don't know if this exists in the straight community.
00:50:06
Speaker
it It must. But is it like, is anybody really getting anywhere with it? I feel like gay dudes just have this figured out. Like they just. Oh, yeah. They because they're all on the same page. Yeah. I mean, they know they know what they they know what they're doing.
00:50:21
Speaker
They know what they're doing. I love it. I respect the shit out it. think it's cool. It's like a hush-hush secret-keeping organization. I think it's referred to as the Fremunda Ground Railroad.
00:50:37
Speaker
I've been saving that all day for you. I could i can tell by the way you set it up. I could tell by the even your your delivery pattern that that was but you had even worked on how you were going to say it.
00:50:51
Speaker
Yeah, it was a little clumsy. I should have worded it a couple of times. I don't think it was clumsy. I think i think if you... I think you could make that work as a bit and it would go over quite well. And it just, it felt like you were doing a bit and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
00:51:10
Speaker
Thanks dude. That means a lot. You're welcome. You should get back out there.
00:51:16
Speaker
Well, okay. Yeah. So let's hear a little bit about Mr. Creasy. So, uh, Neil 46 started Redemption Church in October, 2018, and has been involved with church planning and pastoral ministry for nearly three decades, according to his bio on audible. Okay.
00:51:35
Speaker
which ah we'll get to here in a second. and He was also listed as the co-founder and vice president of Global Church Planning Partners and has taught at several seminaries across the U.S. Pretty cool of him to give back in that way.
00:51:48
Speaker
I wonder which seminaries. What is he what are his credentials? Well, here, you want me to read you his bio on Audible? Yeah, yeah. Neil's the senior pastor of Redemption Church. A church plant started in October of 2018. Neil has been involved with pastoral ministries and church planning both in the United States and internationally for almost 30 years.
00:52:07
Speaker
He's co-founder and vice president of Global Church Planning Partners, an organization that is involved in both theological training and church planning globally. He also has taught various... This is the same information, just much, much lengthier.
00:52:21
Speaker
Yeah. Sorry about that. No, that's fine. I don't... like I just wonder how we got credentialed enough or connected enough to be able to... I mean, I guess seminaries can be like almost like community colleges for Christians.
00:52:38
Speaker
They don't have to be anything spectacular, but... don't know. Interesting. ah He has a ah Master of Divinity and Missiology from ah the Mid-America Baptist Theology Seminary.
00:52:53
Speaker
That's Christian Dungeons and Dragons right there. That is not real. Yeah.
00:52:58
Speaker
yeah Yeah, he just went through the character creator. Yeah, that's all. it' it That means I got a master's in divinity on being a missionary.
00:53:11
Speaker
That's just like, what did you study, dude? Well, do you want to hear some of the courses that you would take if you were to go for missiology at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary?
00:53:22
Speaker
i Yeah, I do. Okay, this is a sample list of courses you'll take while pursuing your MDiv in Missiology myology and inner culture Intercultural Studies. Introduction to Missions, Anthropology and Worldview, Traditional Religions... Oh, I'm sure that's Thoro.
00:53:38
Speaker
Yeah. This one... Okay, this this grouping is really important. I think this this gives context to every other class you're going to take there, right? Yeah.
00:53:49
Speaker
It's ah traditional religions, world religions, and cults.
00:53:57
Speaker
and There's got to be class. ah they'll re They'll word it in a way that's not quite so – but it's like um manipulative manipulation techniques – 504 or whatever you know just like strategies of missions and leadership development apologetics personal evangelism which uh class on that class a class a class that you probably paid two twenty five hundred dollars for what is so stupid about it is just the like the ironic part of all of this is that like hey if you want to like
00:54:35
Speaker
minister to people and have the chance to talk to them about your faith and try to like get involved in their life. Like you need to go be a normal person in places where normal people do normal things.
00:54:47
Speaker
You need to get a job, go get a job and work next to other people. And like, if you're cool and genuine, you'll get the chance to talk to them about all sorts of different things.
00:54:57
Speaker
You don't need a class for this dude. Just go be everybody's friend. Are we sure? Actually dude, in hindsight, And I don't think this was part of his defense, ah but are we sure, like, with all this missions work, he wasn't just starting a mission, like, like a ministry organization on how to reach 14-year-old boys who want to have sex with older men?
00:55:20
Speaker
Isn't that what hermeneutics is? No, that's a study of hermeneutics. Fuck, is that what the... It's herpenotics.
00:55:31
Speaker
i I took hermeneutics in liberty, which means I wasted my money nothing. How long since your last outbreak? yeah ah That's a form of... ah
00:55:47
Speaker
Oh, here's the full course list. i get I'm looking it up. I can't remember. Hermeneutics is a theory and practice of interpretation, especially of text, with the goal of understanding their intended meaning and applying it today. Okay.
00:56:01
Speaker
So, yeah. That's a big one. Take that one twice. Yeah. My Hermeneutics class was like, yeah, I took one on it, and we're good. All you need is one class on a book.
00:56:12
Speaker
that expands thousands of years with multiple different authors and you can take one hermeneutics class and be like, I know what they meant the whole time. It's insane. um But it's, that's the key part about hermeneutics that I remember being drilled into our heads was like,
00:56:29
Speaker
It's about their intended meaning and how to apply today. But what's funny is they always were on like this crusade to make the intended meaning, whatever their, whatever their understanding, like whatever their like dogmas were today. Like, so Liberty goes through, ah jumps through a lot of hoops to make the intended meaning, whatever,
00:56:53
Speaker
whatever understandings that they've landed on. Yeah. Why abortion is bad and whatnot. Right. Um, dude, I, this, this, this sounds like absolute torture looking at this course list.
00:57:09
Speaker
So your first year, It's easy. of Christianity, personal evangelism, Introduction to Apologetics is a three-course, or three-semester, or, ah yeah, semester-hour class.
00:57:24
Speaker
Did you take evangelism at Liberty? No. I couldn't remember if that was a required course, or... um I took G-N-E-D, and then I had to take, like, a theology class, and...
00:57:35
Speaker
ah theology class and
00:57:41
Speaker
Something else. I had to take creation science. You had to take, um, like an old Testament and a new Testament, or maybe you had got to pick one. Um, but it was like a one Oh one style, older new Testament class. you had to do both.
00:57:55
Speaker
Create. Oh, you did have to do both. Creation studies was nonsense. Um, I had to do a paper. or um There was a a youth professor and named Rich Brown. This guy was a fucking tool.
00:58:09
Speaker
I, even fully in, was like, I don't trust this guy. He seems like he's like... about to snap at all times like you know like the people who seem like they're about to snap but they act real happy yeah they act real cool like it just felt like he was like one day away from like bringing a gun to school and just shooting someone in the face who didn't give him the respect that he deserves like that small man syndrome of like
00:58:41
Speaker
let me act like, let me act like the guy. Right. But then when he's made to like feel small or someone doesn't appreciate him, he's like, he might stab them to death. Yeah.
00:58:52
Speaker
Yeah. That was what he felt like. But we had to go like to the mall in Lynchburg and like observe some, we had to like observe kids and like write about what we saw. And he's like, it was always like, like you, you, you'll be, you'll be,
00:59:08
Speaker
You guys think you've been there before? You've been to the mall plenty of times, but let me tell you, when you go and you just sit and you just look and you watch, you will realize how lost all these people are. you it'll And it'll hit you in a different way. And you're like, all right, dude, you just told me how to write my paper.
00:59:26
Speaker
Let me find someone doing something benign and get real serious about how sad it was to see them go into a hot topic and walk out with a Slipknot t-shirt. and Yeah. and I got an A, dude. That's just not all it took. You just get you get an A for just like being like just kissing his ass the whole time.
00:59:45
Speaker
Yeah, this just sounds awful. Church planting is ah is a three-credit hour class. Traditional world religions and cults is a three-hour class.
00:59:57
Speaker
It's just, yeah, it sounds terrible. I would rather die than do this, honestly. I would rather die than go back to school in the first place anyways, so... Yeah. Oh, um but I did. ah Oh, man, where's the tab? Where's the tab?
01:00:14
Speaker
OK, I did find a page about his book, Mr. Creasy, Pastor Creasy's book. Which ah you guys should all Google Neil, N-E-A-L-H Creasy, C-R-E-E-C-Y, and just look at his profile picture on Audible.
01:00:34
Speaker
It's one of the first things that pops up, and it's, man, he looks irritating. Just does. K-R-E-E-C-Y? C-R-E-E-C-Y. C-R-E-E-C-Y.
01:00:46
Speaker
oh be sorry So his book, which I think just released in. Oh, my God, dude, that hat.
01:00:58
Speaker
Doesn't he look annoying? He looks like he just came out of like an I think you should leave sketch about the guy who loves fedoras, you know? Yeah. So funny. He looks like he has a box of hentai laying under his bed.
01:01:12
Speaker
OK, so his book, 188 pages, it was published in April 8th of this year. ah So this is not going to be good PR for the release.
01:01:23
Speaker
No, I mean, it's going to be really hard to find someone to actually publish it. I'm guessing he's self-published. I'm guessing so, yeah. But it's called Witnessing Where You Live, Work, and Play. A practical guide to help every Christian be the witness God has called them to be where they live, work, and play.
01:01:43
Speaker
Very redundant title, very long, um not a good choice. From Neil H. Creasy, Ph.D. So here's the synopsis. ah The church in in America is getting smaller and smaller.
01:01:58
Speaker
Each year, average church attendance decreases, while the number of Americans who identify as no religious affiliation increases. Even traditionally Christian areas, such as the Bible Belt...
01:02:09
Speaker
are seeing the same trends as the rest of the nation. America is not alone in experiencing these trends. Western Europe, once a strong Christian continent, is also going the same way.
01:02:21
Speaker
What is the cause of the decline of Christianity in America as well as eat Western Europe? Many have written on this topic, but I believe it is because of a lack of faithful witnessing by everyday Christians.
01:02:34
Speaker
In my 28 plus years of ministry, I have found over and over again that faithful church members do not know how to share their faith, nor do they have any idea of where to begin having an impact for the kingdom of God.
01:02:48
Speaker
Our culture has lost the practice of hospitality. Churches have become so pro programmatic that many Christians find all their social time and needs being met on the church campus.
01:02:59
Speaker
Even when Christians find themselves engaged within the community in different social activities such as youth sports, they have no idea how to leverage those relationships for the gospel. Witnessing where you live, work, and play is a practical guide that does four things.
01:03:14
Speaker
First, it will help you understand God's calling on your life as a follower of Jesus to be a witness for him. Second, it will provide training in how to walk someone through the gospel using both your personal testimony and the word of God.
01:03:30
Speaker
Third, it will help you understand the different domains where you live your life. Fourth, it will help you develop strategies to begin having an impact with the gospel in those different domains.
01:03:42
Speaker
Riveting. Sounds really good. If you look his book up on Amazon, it has ah it has two and a half out of five stars. and was there any reviews?
01:03:53
Speaker
The reviews is ah from the United States. Here we go. First, first the five-star one, there's no review left. I guess someone just gave it five stars. Probably Neil H. Creasy himself.
01:04:05
Speaker
And then a cup ah couple of one-star reviews. First review. Headline, Las Vegas pastor thought he was meeting 14-year-old boy for sex. bad He a for the eight whatever he just puts the ah story there ah and from lrg a bit juvenile seemed like a book written for children i guess maybe that's his target audience and
01:04:41
Speaker
That's a good one. Oh my God. Points to that guy. I know. What a kill shot. There's only one review on Goodreads and it's Jeff Brawner. He says, I'll summarize my thoughts this way. I know the author.
01:04:56
Speaker
He lives out daily what he teaches. If you're new to evangelism or trying to create a strategy, you would be remiss to avoid this book. Buy it. I wish right below that was like, edit.
01:05:08
Speaker
Actually, never mind. Some shit went down recently. Don't trust this guy. I'll summarize it this way. i know the author. I actually work on his computer from time to time.
01:05:21
Speaker
Clearing out all the viruses that he picks up from all the weird dark web websites he's on. The devil finds real creative ways of attacking a man of God. sometimes it's jpegs sometimes it's mov files so uh so yeah that's uh that's pastor creasy and i think he deserves a fuck that sucks holy shit he sucks so bad but he's not the only one
01:05:55
Speaker
And what makes this story all the more interesting is that this sting operation actually nabbed eight people. Of the eight, you know, besides Pastor Creasy, one of the more interesting people that was caught in the net was...
01:06:12
Speaker
was an Israeli government cybersecurity official who was in Las Vegas for a black hat convention, some sort of computer.
01:06:23
Speaker
It sounds like Comic-Con for hacker nerds or something like that. But he was here for some sort of convention. He met with the NSA and the ah Department of Homeland Security that week as a part of his visit.
01:06:40
Speaker
Yeah. He's actually like a pretty prominent dude. I think he's the executive director of. ah Oh, God. What is the actual name of the department that he works for?
01:06:53
Speaker
He's the executive director of the Israel Cyber Directorate, an Israeli government agency under the purview of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office. um Nice.
01:07:04
Speaker
From what I can gather, Israeli Cyber Directorate is responsible for cybersecurity, of course, yeah. But like they they this guy supposedly was like pretty involved in a project called... like cyber dome or something like that. It was supposed to be like their informational robots getting their dick sucked. yeah
01:07:32
Speaker
with the It's just to like protect them from cyber attacks and stuff like that. I'm sure he does all sorts of other sketchy, terrible things within that department.
01:07:43
Speaker
And I'm sure he's, ah I'm sure he's planted child porn on a handful of his enemies computers. Probably. Yeah. There's no shortage people alleging that. That's for sure.
01:07:56
Speaker
honest If you're a politician, like that's probably the best way to try and destroy somebody is like. just get that shit on their computer because there isn't a person in the world who when hearing that a politician has cp on their computer is like no not him not one politician in the entire fucking country um outside of like a couple maybe a couple there's couple there's a couple couple of stand-up guys um
01:08:29
Speaker
But there I would argue like 70% if you were like, maybe 80. If you were like, hey, we found this on this guy's computer. like I don't know. I think it's easier to tell me.
01:08:42
Speaker
and think it's just easier to tell me who doesn't have it on their computers at this point. Yeah, and by that I mean i absolutely wouldn't be surprised if any of them had stuff like that on their computer.
01:08:54
Speaker
But there are people who will definitely excuse a lot of things for ah their favorite ah dear leader. yeah, we're seeing that regularly. Lots and lots of private parties and pictures together and all that sorts of things. But they hardly knew each other. Neither here nor there, right?
01:09:12
Speaker
You know, actually, ah he... You know, he did go to ah to Epstein's ah like party house, ranch thing, whatever. But he hung out with the staff the whole time.
01:09:25
Speaker
Because he's a man of the people. I mean, dude you heard Ghislaine said he didn't do anything wrong. and And he's been awesome the entire time. She's known him right before she's trying to petition for a softer sentence. I don't. I don't know where anything could be missed. How could any of that be wrong?
01:09:40
Speaker
it's There's no misinformation there. There's no lies. There's no... There's no incentive structure to say what it needs to say to possibly score a pardon. She's clearly just trying... She's clearly been wracked with the guilt of everything that's happened as she's been rotting in a jail cell and is...
01:09:58
Speaker
ah And out of her own volition and decency and her own reformed character, she's she's just bringing new information to the table and all of it looks so good for Trump. And it's never, it's only going to, you know, if so if if that works out for her, you know, let's just that's just like a weird happenstance. It's just a coincidence.
01:10:23
Speaker
I like that, a like, I saw there was a clip going around of, like, One America News or whatever that this host was, like, starting to soft-pedal the idea that we need to look at Ghislaine as a victim of Epstein.
01:10:38
Speaker
Whoa! Like, there's ah there's some of that buzz around. There's, like, there's a big part of the crowd that's, like, you know, it's all hearsay and happenstance, and, oh, show me the proof.
01:10:50
Speaker
Show me the proof. you know where's ah where's Where's your proof showing that you know there was some sort of blackmail operation here or whatever? and you know the That's the Ben Shapiro retort.
01:11:01
Speaker
But then there's also this like segment that exists that's like, you know, Ghislaine, probably just another of Epstein's many victims. you know She lived under his thumb and blah, blah, blah. and Never mind the fact that she's actually like accused by a bunch of victims of participating.
01:11:20
Speaker
in their assaults. Yeah. And the fact that there's like, there are some people who are like, oh yeah, she's an even bigger monster than Epstein based on the accounts of some of the victims.
01:11:30
Speaker
That is kind of like in the, in the, the dark, dirty places that I listen to stuff. That does seem to be the consensus that, like, Epstein was the face of the organization, but Ghislaine was sort of like the, uh, the linchpin central, you know, evil mastermind of that computer.
01:11:53
Speaker
Yeah, it's, uh, man, so dark. Yeah, so, uh, this guy, he's He's here for this convention, and during this two-week sting operation, he gets caught chatting with who he thinks is a 14-year-old girl.
01:12:11
Speaker
Also on Sniffy... Oh, no, Sniffy's for Gays. Yeah. um So this sting, these were... this This was like, they cast a wide net.
01:12:22
Speaker
Did they give everyone the same... but like area to meet up? Was it so eight individual arrests? Were these people in a group? Did they have any connection to each other or is it all just like, I don't think they're part of the same.
01:12:36
Speaker
ah So it's all just part of the same sting operation. think people responded to solicitation. Yeah, they had a two-week operation where they had decoys having conversations with people in chat spaces and things like that.
01:12:51
Speaker
And ah the people who took that in a sexual direction and then tried to actually meet up with the victim, with the decoy, those are the ones that got nabbed. Because this guy ah apparently you know took it in a sexual direction and then he got he got nabbed because he was supposed to meet up with this 14 year old girl to take her to Cirque du Soleil.
01:13:14
Speaker
And that's, that's when they got him. So he had a whole little date planned out for a 14 year old. He planned to assault. It's a real oh guy.
01:13:25
Speaker
I'm sure he tried to be like, ah no, there was, I just, I'm just trying to give children fun experiences because I love the children. I had no intention of doing anything wrong.
01:13:38
Speaker
Yeah, pocket full of condoms and whatnot. Yeah, and then the ah CIA and the FBI and the but whatever, NSA are all like, all right, you can go home.
01:13:49
Speaker
Nice. I don't know if I said the guy's name, but his name's Tom Alexandrovich. And like I said, he's the executive director of the... i Israel Cyber Directorate.
01:14:01
Speaker
And to your point, I think there has been like a pretty big effort to keep this quiet, to keep it under wraps. um The way that certain media outlets are talking about it, they're kind of purposely obfuscating the details of it, like what he's accused of, who he is, how prominent he is within that organization.
01:14:21
Speaker
mean, executive director is pretty high position. I would guess that's probably the highest position. you know Yeah, that's, ah I mean, if I was an executive director of anything, I probably would have had to go back to school to jumpstart a new career.
01:14:37
Speaker
Yeah, I see. here's the so they they Everybody's scouring the internet looking for information on this guy, but like his LinkedIn page has been taken down and stuff. but ah The screenshot first reported by Mediaite also showed a post under Alexandrovich's name alluding to his having been in Las Vegas earlier in August for the Black Hat Briefings, a yearly meeting of cybersecurity professionals.
01:15:00
Speaker
ah Quote, two things you can't escape at Black Hat 2025, the relentless buzz of generative artificial intelligence and the sound of Hebrew in every corridor, Alexandrovich wrote in part of an accommod accompanying post, invoking an abbreviation for large language models and referring to one of Israel's largest cities. The the post continued, quote,
01:15:22
Speaker
The key takeaway, the future of cybersecurity is being written in code, and it seems a significant part of it is being authored in Tel Aviv and powered by LLMs. An exciting time to be in the field.
01:15:35
Speaker
Very exciting. Yeah, he seems excited. Real excited to come to the United States. in ah just It's like, I don't want to get ahead of myself, but well I won't.
01:15:48
Speaker
and this I'm about to jump into a topic that I heard something about, but have no way to properly regurgitate the information. So I'm moving on. Go ahead Well, do you want to hear the ah the like the whitewashed version of it?
01:16:04
Speaker
Of course. So this is from the Jerusalem Post. Oh, yes. Very they reputable source. are definitely a scumbag. Unbiased. ah Sort of paper.
01:16:15
Speaker
But they they they try to keep up some of the the you know appearances of being an actual spot for journalism. Israeli cyber directorate employee arrested in the U.S. on suspicion of pedophilia.
01:16:30
Speaker
Aleksandrovich worked in cyber threat intelligence and active defense, took part in shaping Israel's cyber policy and in international forums, and advised various government bodies.
01:16:42
Speaker
It says, a senior official at the cyber directorate in the prime minister's office was arrested on suspicion of links to pedophilia. Was arrested on suspicion of links to pedophilia.
01:16:55
Speaker
That is not how I would describe what he was- No, I wouldn't describe it like that. And then is there follow-up? ah But he was ultimately- let go from the investigation to return to Israel? Anything like that where it's like... yeah Oh yeah. the A joint operation by Las Vegas police and the FBI over the past two weeks led to the arrest of eight suspects, including Alexandrovich, 38, from Israel.
01:17:19
Speaker
After questioning... He's our age? Yep. Damn. After questioning, Alexandrovich returned to Israel and was placed on leave from the directorate. So they named the suspects.
01:17:31
Speaker
ah Police said the goal was to identify individuals who pose a threat to minors online and prevent them from contacting children and teenagers. We would like to remind parents of the dangers of blah, blah, blah.
01:17:44
Speaker
So this is more about him as a person. It says, a veteran of cybersecurity. I think they go to like great lengths here to not really outright state his position in the organization and exactly like how prominent he was.
01:17:58
Speaker
He's a veteran of cybersecurity gets caught in a run of the mill sting operation on the Internet. Wow. and Question on suspicion of of online activity or something like that, you know, like the most like benign way you can say it.
01:18:13
Speaker
he is a veteran of He is a veteran computer professional at the directorate whose name had not yet appeared in public or criminal context. In recent years, he held roles related to protecting computer systems and was a professional and respected employee.
01:18:28
Speaker
That is not how anybody would describe the executive director of an organization, but okay. Yeah. was involved in establishing the CyberDome program, a government initiative to protect protect the civilian sphere from cyber attacks.
01:18:44
Speaker
His work included developing national cyber strategies, leading teams, and defending critical infrastructure against ongoing threats. He's out here working every day to keep normal Israelis safe.
01:18:56
Speaker
At least the in small portion of Israelis that count as actual people, that is. Yeah, right. The small portion. And it's like, I don't know. I don't know how else they could sweeten this ah this story about him other than maybe go into some narrative about ah how many how many Palestinians deaths he's directly involved in with his work. That might make it even better. You think he protects?
01:19:20
Speaker
You think he's given any ah like identity theft alerts to Palestinians? Yeah. Something tells me probably not. He also worked in cyber threat intelligence and active defense, took part in shaping Israel's cyber policy and in an international forums and advised various government bodies.
01:19:36
Speaker
Alexandrovich managed large budgets and projects to protect vital infrastructure and election systems. Oh, elections too, huh? Oh, yeah. Those haven't been corrupted.
01:19:48
Speaker
This is so what I like Netanyahu's in on trial for all sorts of corruption charges right now. And this shows you what a great, you know, nameless, faceless employee he was. it says he was previously among the recipients of the Israel Defense Prize for achievements in cyber.
01:20:07
Speaker
Quote, the employee updated the directorate that during his trip to the United States, he was questioned by U.S. authorities on matters unrelated to his work, and he returned to Israel at the planned time of return.
01:20:18
Speaker
The cyber directorate said in response, the directorate has not received additional details through author authorized channels to date. Should such details be received, the directorate will act accordingly.
01:20:28
Speaker
At this stage, by joint decision, the employee has gone on leave to deal with the matter until things become clear. it gone on leave to explain to his wife what actually happened. Yeah, so one of the key details here that we might have just glazed over as a part of this story is that Alexandrovich gets elect gets arrested, just like the other seven people who they caught in these stinks. And again, he was meeting up with who he thought was a 14-year-old girl to have sex with her, after going to Cirque du Soleil, of course.
01:20:59
Speaker
So, little gymnastics, and then a little assault back in the... You know, his hotel room is circus circus or whatever. And so he gets arrested.
01:21:09
Speaker
he immediately like identifies himself as an Israeli official claims. He has to get into his phone. He asked to contact somebody about his flight back to Israel and blah, blah, blah, blah. blah Very important, this and that and the other.
01:21:23
Speaker
um So they they basically, he makes some phone calls, and he's allowed to just fly back to Israel uncontested.
01:21:34
Speaker
I mean, nobody stood in his way. Yeah. and And he is not a diplomat. He's just a guy here. like Exactly. Some people might – I heard things about like, well, what about diplomatic immunity? This is that. Not a diplomat.
01:21:50
Speaker
Immunity does not apply to him when committing crimes on U.S. soil. Yeah, he was not here on like a diplomatic visa or anything like that. So like, right. There was none of that legal framework there.
01:22:02
Speaker
And look, and I don't know exactly how this stuff works. You know, maybe it's normal for somebody to post a $10,000 bond for something like this and then leave the country. But i I think not.
01:22:14
Speaker
I have a feeling that most people who aren't Israeli government officials probably don't just get to fly home. you know, when they're charged with a serious offense like this.
01:22:25
Speaker
Right. But of course, you know, in keeping with the spirit of of the times and the administration that's in power right now, this guy just basically gets to charter a private jet home.
Gaza Conflict and Leaked Documents
01:22:37
Speaker
And I'm guessing he's probably not coming back for trial. Yeah, he might miss that. I can imagine that maybe the the the time of the trial will conflict with something really important back home, so he just might not be able to make it.
01:22:54
Speaker
Right. Dude, you know, wheat every week we kind of have to think about how much ah we're going to talk about the war and the genocide going on in Gaza because we're not experts on it.
01:23:11
Speaker
And, you know, anything we tell you is just going to be ah poorer version of what you could read online. But like every day this thing just gets more and more blatant and disgusting.
01:23:24
Speaker
And there was actually, I was listening to, ah so if you go to Glenn Greenwald's YouTube channel, he had a video that he posted like yesterday, I think it was,
01:23:35
Speaker
where he talks about leaked documents that reveal the actual rate of civilian casualties in Gaza. according to Israeli IDF military documents.
01:23:48
Speaker
So their internal documents, somebody leaked them to a press source. And, you know, all we've heard so far is like, you know, that they've killed 30,000 Hamas fighters. And, you know, no yeah theyre they have a, they you know, Netanyahu has has bragged at different times about like their one-to-one civilian terrorist death ratio.
01:24:09
Speaker
What a great ratio. That's one you should strive for. He's worked really hard. Yeah, it's it shows it tells you a lot about the type of wars that you know we're fighting in the 21st century where one-to-one civilian death ratio is something that you would go out and like talk about as if it's a good thing. but Yeah, it cancels out the bad. One, one.
01:24:30
Speaker
it's an ah There's nothing to talk about. It cancels it out. It cancels itself out. I don't know. He's doing great, man. I don't know what your problem is. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't have the numbers right here in front of me, but in these leaked documents, the IDF themselves assesses that they've only killed like 8000 Hamas fighters.
01:24:54
Speaker
And the official death toll is somewhere around 60,000 right now, i think. That's oh my God, which is not at all where it is. I mean, because that's like confirmed deaths. And, you know, I don't know what the process is like of confirming a death, but.
01:25:11
Speaker
There's a lot of bodies buried under rubble that are not going to be counted for a long time or maybe ever, you know, depending on this goes. think it's confirmed death if a IDF soldier has sex with the corpse afterwards or at least desecrates it in some way.
01:25:27
Speaker
was going to say if he if he pulls out a gold fitting filling to like to confirm it or something. Yeah, something. They have to desecrate the body in some way and insult the Most High God um and in order for it to count as a confirmed death.
01:25:42
Speaker
They can only confirm they're dead when they do some sort of act against the body where they're like, oh shit, this person's dead. Like it feels dead on the inside or the outside, whatever. They're doing something. it's and then they go they just And it's not a real great system. They just all carry notebooks and do tally marks.
01:26:02
Speaker
and then submit them at the end of the day. Yeah, some of them probably go like Full Blood Meridian style and just have a big necklace full of severed ears. Yeah, oh yeah. Just Edmund style. Fingernail collection. um Only the painted ones, though. i don't they You don't want the gouty ones, that's disgusting.
01:26:23
Speaker
You're right. Yeah, it's a so those those leaked documents place the death the civilian death rate at somewhere around 83% of total casualties.
01:26:36
Speaker
And look, the IDF is not... doing you know i'm sure they're not doing representative numbers but if that ratio is to be trusted there was estimates a year ago that the death toll could actually be in like the the 150 000 range you know i don't know what it is now but i know mean every day they kill 80 to 120 people at aid sites alone you know when you look at the pictures you're like there's nowhere to live Like, no, there's nowhere to go. There's nowhere to live, which is just like they when you look at pictures, you go, are they all gone? They're all dead, right?
01:27:12
Speaker
Like, it doesn't look like there's any possible fucking way to survive there at all at this point. No. No, it's it's bad. It's bulldozed completely. thiss It's completely leveled.
01:27:24
Speaker
And they're just they're on the cusp of... they're go to They called up 60,000 reservists and they're going to reinvade Gaza City. And ah people are just... I mean, it seems the consensus seems to be that like this is the final solution.
01:27:39
Speaker
And ah in preparation for it, you know like last week they killed a... They... they hit a tent full of journalists outside ah one of the main hospitals there. Killed like four or six journalists that are still left in palace. I mean, it's just, the whole thing is horrific.
01:27:59
Speaker
And in the midst all that... Even Marjorie Taylor Greene has found herself on the right side of this. Dude, she's actually spouting some pretty good stuff on this one topic. On this one topic. I'll take it. Hey...
01:28:11
Speaker
you can't If you're Palestinian, you've got to take whatever allies you can come up with. you know and yeah Anybody willing to go speak the truth about it, I i think you're welcome with open arms. and Yeah.
01:28:24
Speaker
So there's more and more. ah It's honestly like, I don't know what happens here. it's hard to imagine at this point that we build that any sort of movement builds enough momentum to actually change us policy within the next three years on this subject. I mean, I have a feeling that unless the international community does some drastic steps, they're just going to boulders through that place and kill everybody that won't leave.
01:28:50
Speaker
And, uh, and it won't matter. Like with, Like, you know, what you think of the way that Trump just goes full idiot on sanctions all the time. And it's just like, he said, you insulted me full sanctions. You insulted me. I don't like the way you do this. i'm going to sanction you. Like, he's just a little sanctioning bitch right now that like, like you look at his reaction to everything he doesn't like, like,
01:29:13
Speaker
If anyone tried to play that same game with him and was like, hey, based on your support of Israel in the face of this horrific, the all these horrific events and what's going on, um we're going to sanction the ever-loving fucking shit out of you or refuse to do some sort of business with us in some way.
International Relations and Criticism
01:29:33
Speaker
Maybe not give us oil. I don't know. Anything. Anyone did anything. Trump would just be like, you can't pressure me You can't do that. I'm not going to but And then he'd be like, I'm going to sanction you. He'd like turn around and make it like this insane thing where like he wouldn't care about the results of its effect on the American people at all. No.
01:29:53
Speaker
At all. He will not be able to be bargained with. He will not be able to be have his hand forced on anything. He's just such an angry, obtuse fucking piece of shit at this point that like not at this point he has been, but it's getting weirdly worse. Like his like angry outbursts like his.
01:30:10
Speaker
Oh, I think they're getting weirder and worse. The only thing that he responds to is is a large outcry. A bro job from his base. Oh, like yeah, a little bit of that.
01:30:23
Speaker
I think that's that's it. And like even then, there's limits to it because obviously he's not listening on the Epstein stuff. Right. But that's. No, he also likes when people fluff his nuts.
01:30:34
Speaker
Like if if you just blow smoke up his ass and you can usually get a little bit more out of him, you know, that happens constantly. Dude, I I had like ah he's like such a pathetic child.
01:30:48
Speaker
He's such a regressive person. I had just like a, that just an angry, scoffing laugh fit earlier this week. Because, you know, there was that the the diplomatic meeting between Trump and Putin and in Anchorage, Alaska. Oh God. Right? Yeah, yeah.
01:31:05
Speaker
And the talk around that is so stupid. And look, really dumb all of us are gathering news from wherever we, you know, whatever our trusted sources are. And I think a lot of us get different opinions.
01:31:18
Speaker
Different messaging on how well Ukraine is doing. But from what I can tell, it's not going well. And they're out of guise and they're low on weapons. And the Russians are taking more territory every day.
01:31:31
Speaker
And like, it you know, they have this meeting in Anchorage where Trump has like, he has no cards. He's going to, Joe, you know, try to be Mr. Tough Guy and play hardball with Putin is what he like shapes it out to be. uh...
01:31:51
Speaker
But there's just nothing. there I mean, they're they're clearly like winning the war. Oh, yeah. They clearly see the writing on the wall that like the world cannot sustain the level of support that it's been giving to Ukraine over the past like three years here. um like All signs point towards victory for for Russia if this just keeps going longer.
01:32:12
Speaker
you know right He has no incentives to make a deal that doesn't result in like massive amounts of territory going to Russia. And I watched a, so a person I know sent a video, a TikTok video to the group chat.
01:32:28
Speaker
And it was like, this is why Trump will be known as the most, like the, the coolest president who ever lived. And it was a a video showing Putin and and Trump meeting up on the runway in Anchorage, right?
01:32:45
Speaker
And as they're walking back towards the building, Trump had like a They did a flyover with ah a B-2 bomber. And Trump and Putin put each other's hands in their back pockets.
01:32:57
Speaker
Each other's back pockets. But they like... It is such a perfect encapsulation of how stupid the way that that we all like engage with politics and world policy and things like that is.
01:33:14
Speaker
To where like this vapid, empty, meaningless gesture of having a bomber swoop in over and like like tangle up his hairpiece...
01:33:26
Speaker
as some sort of force to Putin, who is walking into this meeting, and he's about to just like, flop his big flaccid dong on the table and be like, all right, ah so who wants to suck it?
01:33:40
Speaker
You know, like, there's no cards to play. He's walking it. And if he thinks that he does, then he's just stupid. Like, there is Like I said there's no incentive for Putin to make a deal in this in this meeting, and yet like you know the the the ridiculous pageantry of having a jet fly over the top of them on the runway, we're supposed to all look at that and be like, oh.
01:34:05
Speaker
He's sending him a little message right now. Right, like he might bomb him. It's so stupid. it's It's like hilarious and it makes me so angry at the same time.
01:34:16
Speaker
It cost $150,000 just to do that real quick. Yeah. which Which buying from our industrial base, that's that's two Patriot missiles.
01:34:27
Speaker
yeah yeah I think the big lesson here from is that... Israel, Russia, really whoever you are, as long as you're you're big enough or have enough rees i can are ah trading partner in some meaningful way or have the right country backing you, really what we've learned over the past like three to five years is that You can just do whatever you want.
01:34:57
Speaker
You can start whatever war you want. It's really what you've remembered over the past three years. You can just remember this is, it this is world history. This is how it's always been across all of humanity. And we had this like, like momentary delusion that it was anything, but that there was some international order that could just force like, like law on, on rogue nations.
01:35:23
Speaker
And yeah there isn't, and they won't. Yeah. It's like World War II has given people the delusion that anyone can stop anybody. like Of course you can stop them, but not without – now that we're – especially in the age of nuclear powers, it's like if you have a nuke, no one – that's it. You get a nuke and it's just – it it's just the fucking God mode on game shark, dude. That's all it is. It's just, yeah you, you, you're invincible. Now you don't get to die because if you, if you're that crazy, they're like, there's no code of ethics. There's no like, all right, we're going to bomb them because they're doing something horrendous and we need to stop them. And they're like, well, they have a nuke. They're like, they'll, they'll just use it. We know they'll just use it. We don't want to be the target. Like,
01:36:15
Speaker
It's, it's, but we are in, i don't know. I don't know how much time we have left. Bilateral deterrence. it's It's pretty wild to think about the fact that I just brought a new child into this hellscape.
01:36:29
Speaker
ah Like, Hey dude, this is your world, man. Sorry. ah you know, everything's getting worse. Life's getting harder. Things are getting more expensive. We're getting poor every day, even though we make more money every year.
01:36:41
Speaker
And, uh, you know, we're all getting high off the fumes of a smoldering empire that is yeah on its last leg. Best of luck to you, son. Hopefully by the time you are my age, things still exist and you do, and you have a nice family and you're happy. Uh, or i don't know, or not.
01:37:00
Speaker
don't know. We'll see. Crazy world. It's, uh, if If you are anywhere, if you're if you're in any way, shape or form relevant to the Israeli government, a couple of things to learn from this.
01:37:18
Speaker
You definitely can get away with trying to fuck kids. ah You will just go back home and it will be okay. ah Your wife might leave you.
01:37:29
Speaker
I don't know where things are at with that. Maybe he's not married. He could be like an incel or something. but Um, you know, it's, I mean, they're, they'll run cover for your ass at this point. They don't, they don't care. And we don't, the U S is like, you know, uh, we can't make them feel sad ever at all.
01:37:47
Speaker
Like, I don't want the, the, everybody gets a trophy shit that all these like conservative people talk about. Everybody gets a trophy. Now it's like, I don't know what to tell you, man. Like I, we just keep like it,
01:38:02
Speaker
the way we just coddle Israel and Netanyahu's nuts constantly is just like, it's pathetic. It's like, it's, a oh my God, dude. I can't, I can't, I can't.
01:38:13
Speaker
I'm just, it's just so wild that they can do anything. And if you're in a high enough position, you can do whatever you want and just no repercussion at all for any actions, no matter how egregious and disgusting, no matter how many times you lie, no matter how times you cheat, no matter how, uh, how corrupt you are. Well, corruption is a fair game. We're, we're not doing so great with corruption over here either, but, um,
01:38:42
Speaker
i don know man no it's it's wild I don't know, I don't know. where I don't know where this ends. I guess it ends when ah Palestine, when Gaza is gone, when there's no more Palestinians, and then we can stop. And they can turn their focus to Lebanon and southern Syria and really yeah i know iran ah cleanse those places in earnest.
01:39:05
Speaker
just until like Israel's like as big as like until Israel's the Middle East. Let's just give them the Middle East at this point. I don't know. Yeah. It's like the USSR of, of our modern era, the, the USI United States of Israel. Perfect. I can't imagine that will make things worse.
01:39:24
Speaker
I don't know what could make things worse or better. It's just, Here we go. Yep. So, uh, to Mr. Tom Alexandrovich, we wish him well, but, uh, you know what?
01:39:38
Speaker
Fuck, that sucks! Holy shit, he sucks so bad! And maybe finish it out with a... Flush that turd down the drain!
01:39:50
Speaker
Hope you get what's coming to you, Tom! yeah He won't. No one does. ah Creasy will. I shouldn't say that. Creasy will probably get what's coming to him. Christian dating friend.
01:40:08
Speaker
don't know. We'll see. hope the best for him. How long do you think Creasy will have to be in prison before he can really like leverage those relationships he's building to further the kingdom of God?
01:40:20
Speaker
you know Do a little witnessing. I don't know. i i If he's a true Christian who just fell for a moment and had a you know, what do you call it? What do you call that little, like, that little blip?
01:40:34
Speaker
That little sad thing you did that God didn't like? um I feel like there's a word Christians use. It's not coming to me. But look, he made a mistake.
01:40:45
Speaker
There's grace. You know, I feel like if he's really going to earn God's favor at no time at all. I mean, if he, ah from the moment he stares into the eyes of the man who's getting D loused next to him, he should be, he should be witnessing.
01:41:03
Speaker
um I think so. i was trying to think like, you know, there's probably some privileges which come that come with being like the, the ins, the inside, uh, pastoral counselor or chaplain or whatever at the prison.
01:41:20
Speaker
And I just wonder how long do you have to serve your sentence in silent humility before you can start, you know, pushing your way towards a ah cushy position as as something like that?
01:41:31
Speaker
ah For like good behavior. He could be like the librarian in Shawshank Redemption or some shit. Dude, he... he he it's It's like Shawshank Redemption, but it's just Creasy like digging a hole behind ah ah poster of Justin Bieber on the there it the wall. Dude, things aren't going to go well for him you know when people know like why he's there.
01:41:58
Speaker
Yeah. like Imagine trying to tell people about your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, when everyone knows you're in there for attempted pedoing. Like, what are you in for Like, well, I recently went through a ah season of misdirection.
01:42:14
Speaker
It turns out it's illegal to try to witness to 14-year-old gay boys. Okay.
01:42:24
Speaker
Uh, actually, uh, uh, a full grown man bore false witness and, uh, told me that he was, you know, a sleek young 14 year old boy. And that's on him.
01:42:35
Speaker
You know, I have to take responsibility for my actions. He has to take responsibility for who it is. And he will, he will answer to God because ah at the end of the day, he actually lied.
01:42:46
Speaker
I was no, there was no chance that I would have met up with 14 old. She didn't exist. So really, who's in the wrong here? Morgan Freeman hands you a copy of Lolita through the bars and says, get busy living or get busy dying.
01:43:05
Speaker
Anyways, thanks everybody for listening and we will see you next
