#Faith Christian School

[wutbju]

WEIRICH, David Lyman. March 9, 2023. Age 82. Beloved husband of Joyce (nee Nofziger).

Loving father of Jeff (Lynn) and Kristen (Kevin) Johns. Adored grandfather of Devan, Ian, Dylan, Jocelyn Johns, Nathan Johns, and James Johns. Dear brother of Denis (Carol) and the late Sharon (Terry) Yoder. Predeceased by his parents Alvin and Irene.

Born on October 25, 1940, Dave grew up in Shipshewana, IN with a rich heritage in a tightknit community.

He attended Bob Jones Academy from 1954 and graduated from Bob Jones University in 1963 with a degree in Business Administration. Dave served in the Army in Vietnam, returning to Ford Motor Company where he worked as a financial analyst for over 35 years. He retired in 1999 and spent his retirement traveling, volunteering summers at Northland University, visiting missionaries and spending time with his family.

An active member of his church through the years, Dave served as a Sunday School teacher, deacon, treasurer and youth sponsor. In 1971 Dave was instrumental in establishing Faith (Calvary) Christian School. He continued to advise and support the school until his death.

Dave was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2006. In the years that followed, his unwavering faith in God provided him with grace and strength for each trial.

Another school shooting and another "fuck you" to the people who are against every reasonable attempt at gun control.

If you can't pray while actively working to help fix the problem you aren't praying, you are just being a stumbling block to everyone else.

Moral Orel doesn't seem 100% like a show I'd feel seen in if you don't know me but then I remember the episode with the special ed kids and underneath the usual satire on extremist bible belt religion it reminds me WAY too much of how actual special ed departments treated me and other kids growing up.

Like the writers must HAVE BEEN THERE IN LIFE, man. I'd kill to sit down with Dino Stamatopoulos and find out what the fuck inspired him and the other writing staff that day.

#husbandothings #moral orel #bonus fun tag rant? bonus fun tag rant...apparently #in those departments you are immediately written off as a tragic forever toddler by at least 50% of the staff regardless of your disability #there's good ones but the bad ones bring the fun spicy trauma #it doesn't matter how smart you actually are you gotta draw the sad face on that boy on the comic sans worksheet at the age of 15 #in your free lesson spaces that you got because of reasons #if someone tells me they're a teaching assistant or have “qualifications” in autism and special needs development i immediately distrust #because I have never met a neurotypical person with those qualifications who knows how to treat kids like humans especially autistic kids #funniest part? I was mostly in the special ed department because of my hearing and not totally my undiagnosed autism #and a little because of wonky emotional development from get this...a freaking religious school #like i see adults in the show and i see the headteacher who tried to tell my parents i should forgive the bullies because jesus would #even though the truth is way more nuanced but he just wanted to wash his hands of it #it's funnier than it should be because that teacher would fit right in to this show for that and additional reasons I won't state here #my family were atheists but thought the school would be good #the weird thing is at that time as a little kid I liked the idea of believing in god but nothing that happened proved Him to me #and moral orel hits because it resonates with the fact i genuinely believe religion can do good and it's all about the people #the ones who want to use that faith for good in the world and surviving rough crap and not to do things that would make jesus flip tables #that has stuck with me for over a decade as has the people who felt the show reinforced their christianity #but anyway

Dungeon meshi has wonderful and thought out world building but the inherent creator bias still shows through sometimes in small funny ways

#dungeon meshi #ep 1 #why are they eating with chopsticks when the island is mostly western in architecture/culture etc #hahaha #i always think its so funny even in like medieval isekais/webtoons #when everyone has european names #castles #dresses etc #but their school system is japanese or their meals etc #like the small stuff the author thinks is normal #calling the duke 'hyung' when there is absolutely no way that would happened at that time #its a bit endearing #i read a brothers grimm/fairy tale inspired manga #and the protag is a grimm brother who befriends hans christian andersen and subsequently calls him “an-chan” #western media has that a lot too #people eating with forks when they would use chopsticks #having meals with beef in them when its a terrain where cows wouldnt live and chicken or goat or fish would make more sense #eastern media aallllwaaysss including an age based honorifics system #western media often modeling religion along the abrahamic faiths #etc

HEY YOU!!!! 🫵

Are you a Christian?✝️

Is your faith wavering, but you’re still latched onto your beliefs because if you don’t, you worry about the possibility of going to 🔥HELL🔥????

Do you worry obsessively about the end times and the pain dynamics of burning in a lake of fire for all eternity and how that would all work out, like if your soul would get used to it or if the fire would find a way to hurt more over time, like what is eternal torture even??? 🔥🐥🔥🍗🔥🪨🔥

Do you worry about questioning your faith for even a second, because you’re certain that the moment you did, the antichrist would reveal himself and everyone but you would be raptured????? 🙂😈

Do I have the book for you:

#Christianity #book recommendations #Elaine pagel #religon #visions prophecy and politics in the book of revelations #I grew up very brainwashed so these fears were always on my mind as a kid #I broke out of most of the bullshit by the time i graduated high school but the fear still lingered #but several years ago I read this book and it was like a weight had lifted from my shoulders #everything makes sense #but right now it’s more important than ever to question the Christian faith #america is supposed to have a separation of church and state and you wouldn’t THINK THAT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS #Biden’s a democrat but he’s still VERY!!!! CATHOLIC!!!! #so please read this and understand what the church is actually based on #I’m out of my phase where I think Christianity can help certain people with trauma #now I’m in my phase where I know Christianity does more harm than good #religious trauma mention

Anyone else really fucking sick of the whole edgelord “we don’t need school it’s all bullshit when will I even need to know any of this” crowd who will also immediately turn around and violently shame and attack anyone who says something misinformed or asks a question that they deem to be “common knowledge”???

Like yeah, I remember highschool. It sucked, but not because of what I was learning. It sucked because teachers are overworked and underpaid/under supported, and the school system doesn’t give half a shit about disabled kids or kids with different neurological conditions or really any of the kids.

We do need schools. Whatever issues the system as a whole has, it needs to be reformed, not done away with. You cannot sit and gripe about how we don’t need any of these history classes because it’s all stuff you don’t want to know anyway, and then go absolutely batshit insane when someone doesn’t know about Pearl Harbor.

Because those people aren’t stupid. They are being intentionally misled, neglected, misinformed, or all three. They are ignorant, not because they chose it but because someone else chose it to further their own desires.

Ignorance leads to harm. Ignorance leads to manipulation. Ignorance is why we have slews of people in the US who are so scared of autism (which IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE SCARED OF) that they refuse to vaccinate their children, which is a form of medical neglect. They are actively endangering people they care about because they have been lied to by political parties and religious leaders who benefit from uneducated mobs.

Ignorance is how you get cults. Ignorance is how people get taken advantage of. Ignorance is how you get genocide. ONE person decides they want power and they use the lack of education to amass followers who will support them blindly because they don’t know any better.

Everyone is appalled when ex-Mormons get on the internet and talk about all the things they had to learn as adults, who by all accounts should have known those things by the time they were fifteen. People lose their fucking minds when ex-Mormons mention they didn’t know how babies were made until after they got married at like thirty. I saw someone make an entire six minute video about how he’s pretty sure all these deconstructers are lying for clout online, because how could they possibly not know?

They don’t know because they were intentionally kept in the dark. That is how high-control religions and cults operate. That is how you keep people under your thumb.

You ask how Christians could possibly think that evolution isn’t real? As someone who was raised that way, I’ll tell you.

From the moment my education started, I was fed misinformation. In kindergarten I learned about how God made dinosaurs, but they all died in the flood and the earth was too damaged afterward to support such big species even after they came off the ark. In middle school I watched Ken Ham and Kent Hovind videos about how carbon-dating is all bogus and if any scientist tries to use it to debate you, you can say “Aha! I knew you were wrong!” and end the discussion there. In highschool I took apologetics, where we learned how to “defend our faith” by constantly moving the goalposts when we spoke to atheists. We were taught that “What happened to the Missing Link?” is a gotcha that no scientist would ever be able to dispute, and so obviously we were the ones in the right. I was told at every possible opportunity that Bill Nye is literally the antichrist, that he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about, and that any Creationist (Christian “scientists”) could debate him into the ground because he’s so stupid.

I didn’t question any of it because that wasn’t an option. It was *literally* all I knew. I had such a fundamental misunderstanding of science as a whole that when I was exposed to true scientific facts and processes and studies for the first time, I could scoff and say “Don’t they know that’s not even a real thing? How ridiculous that they’d think I would believe it!”

I’m doing the work now to re-educate myself. I have learned so much in just two years that I genuinely can’t speak to half of my family because it makes them so angry. And when I hear people talk about anything happening or existing “billions of years ago”, my knee-jerk reaction is still “The earth is nowhere near that old! That’s how I know they’re lying!” I have to intentionally reprogram my thinking every. single. time. that I engage with scientific literature or media.

It’s hard. It’s frustrating. And it all could’ve been avoided if my own parents hadn’t also been misled their whole lives. I’m not going to make excuses for them as adults, because learning and doing better is your own responsibility once you’re not a kid. But I will say that if their parents hadn’t also been misinformed, they wouldn’t have learned the same lies that they later went on to teach me and my siblings. It’s a vicious cycle, one that is designed to keep people ignorant. It is purposely designed not to have an out.

So yeah, I don’t really know how to end this post but please for the love of god, have some empathy for people who don’t know “common knowledge” facts about science or history. Most likely, it’s not their fault. And the way they push back at you with nothing but misinformation and a dream has been programmed into them probably since birth. This is why we need education, why we need schools, and why it is so vitally important that we as a society do the work to reform our education system.

#I still have even more thoughts on this but it’s getting long now #so yeah #please feel free to ask any questions you have #I’d love to help people understand the fundie methods of education better #ex fundie #deconstructing christianity #deconstructing religion #deconstructing faith #ken ham #bill nye #creationism #science #education reform #school system #long post #text post #things that fucking matter #nightramblestm

Still pissed off that this website's entire attitude toward homeschooling is "it bad, full stop, no exceptions"

I don't know how many times I have to say "homeschooling was good for me in ways I still benefit from"

I don't know how graciously I have to say "I recognize that it would not benefit all children, and that the fact that the way I was homeschooled benefited me and my sisters is really weird"

I don't know how many times I have to say "it doesn't have to be about weirdo fundies, sometimes it can be about bullying, some frankly disturbing circumstances for an entire class of children, and younger kids chanting 'not fair me too'"

Half of me wants to go on the classic rant about how job interviews are still asking me if I can manage my own projects, which I've been doing since I was ten, and half of me is just. Tired of making this argument.

Is it socially debilitating? Probably! In some ways! But I was not getting any social advances from being in school to that point, I was weird and incredibly bored by my peers. Being homeschooled in the middle of nowhere created a bizarre sort of psychosis of the whole family socially leaping on top of anyone who came over to visit, but it also meant I didn't get the school system's bizarre psychosis that you can only get along with people exactly your age.

#cranky ace #I'll see your 'homeschoolers are all fundies' and raise you 'I was taught the difference between truth and facts in public school' #I still find this a useful distinction but it was taught so kids could believe Christianity in the face of all reason #rather than questioning or having any deeper understanding of their faith #anyway

Christian high school meant basically I had no idea how the prehistoric world actually worked until I watched Lindsay Nikole's video on it yesterday and I've frankly got stars in my eyes. My entire concept of earth has fucking shifted and I'm absolutely in awe of the ancient world. I feel like most people learn this stuff when they're 12 or 13 so, currently being a freshman in college, I mean.. I've lost time, but it's fucking magical to be first seeing the world for really how old it is. Fuck, man, the silurian (I think) period? It was 443 million years ago!! And there were giant mushrooms!!

#prehistory #lindsay nikole #notably I still have faith in God. bears saying. just... not the shit the school was teaching #religion tw #tw religion #christianity #religion mention #~ issie #can we talk about how cool lindsay nikole is #cursing tw #tw cursing #cursing in tags

I Have Been Waiting For This For Years #i remember crying as a baby freshman in my first class at uni (very discreetly) because the prof kept saying unkind things about Jesus #and thinking during that horrid children's lit course: do i.......want to keep going here. should i just transfer #anyway this is GREAT i am so happy to be studying #which is so bizarre considering i was like Deliver Me Please just last week while writing that essay!
