Finally today: Because I am posting messages as to the metaphysical criminality of AI to discussions of such, Twitter has decided to flag my account. So be it. Blocking the truth only makes the consequences worse for these agents of "free speech."

My public ministry was today finding every "New Apostolic Reformation" figure and institution on Twitter I could and posting this brief Biblical critique:

from Kafka's Blue Octavo, 4th Notebook.
On February 10, 1918, he writes
"Peace Ukraine."
The following day, "Peace Russia."
Right makes write.
Later: "Religions get lost as people do."
Like when they choose and arm "lesser evils" to keep their own deadening boundaries. Romans 12:17-21

I posted a negative book review on Amazon of a book that proposed a theology of the temple and its priesthood under the guise of a "tabernacle narrative."
I have expanded that review greatly (30 pages), documenting the significant errors of its exegesis, methodology, and hermeneutics.

For a book I felt called to review for its noteworthiness (in a negative sense), it posted today on Amazon. amazon.com/.../ref=pe_1.... Part of my Lenten Discipline will be to continue adding to that review on my blog with more detail as Holy Week approaches.
