SYNODAL CHURCH? NO! PLANET FITNESS

 Is it a church or a business. They profess belief in a DEI!

This is basically wishful thinking. When one displays their affiliation they are also proclaiming precedence over others. I used to visit a bar in Evergreen, CO that had a sign at the door declaring their intolerance for the display of ‘colors’ of the various biker gangs in the American West. The enormous man behind the bar cheerfully greeted you and enforced it. That was avery relaxing place.

DEi is code for "we hate conservative White people." Another Communist ploy

So damned pathetically easy to see through the Woke DIE BS!

They must think the average citizen of average intellect in all Western nations is such an idiot to not note the obvious:

Their typically insane obsession of diversity of almost a 101 different sexual orientations and or "gender identities"..

Their obsession with various racial traits and racial characteristics somehow forming a core element of each individual's identity - (which in the real world most sane, mature people personally reject..)

But these Woke DIE enthusiasts believe ordinary people everywhere are too stupid not to notice their utter rejection of:

True Diversity! Ie Diversity of opinion - especially any tolerance for right of centre, conservative opinions.

Planet Fitness is a judgment free zone that has a massive wall display where fictional gym users judge a person based on clothing and water bottle - and call him a "lunk".

I Go every morning at the one on HHI. It’s free through my Medicare part c! No different than any other gym, but kept very clean. All kinds of people. I haven’t asked, though, about anyone being a drag queen or trans. My motto, exercise and let exercise.

TJM, RCG, Fr Allan et al,

On this DIE theme/discussion, I can highly recommend the following articles at Crisis Magazine by that fine author - William Fitzpatrick.

If you're looking for a single sign that the world is going to Hell, with Woke Diversity Inclusion and Equity, why not check out:

"Go Woke and Go Up in Smoke?
The Queering of the US Military"
- by William Kilpatrick.

(I think it possible you, especially, RCG, might find this article interesting.)

And for all here (including my best online buddies - Mark T and Fr K)

I can recommend:

"Love me, Love My Sin"
- Why a significant number (especially of Jesuit and Paulist priests) of NO Catholic clerics seem to think and believe that 'LGBT+ Love' is such a special way of loving that shouldn't be governed by the rules that apply to others; or almost everyone else.

Fr Allan,

I'd advise any male who values his facial good looks and or regular facial bone structure to NEVER in any inner city Sydney or Melbourne, Aust.,boxing and or weight lifting Gym -..to NEVER ask any male, of any size, age or appearance if he might possibly be "trans" or "non binary, gender fluid" etc...LOL...thanks be to God: in MOST parts of Australia, especially and including outer western poor city suburbs and almost all rural cities and country towns - such majority Australian people are at least 10 to 20 years behind the present Woke gender crap and DIE BS as now exists in the (once) good, old USA ...

Paul, thanks for the link, I have read the article. It is unfortunately very accurate.

Paul said...

RCG, thx.

I think you may have visited Australia? If so or if not, I can recommend the following Road Trip, I recently completed - in part completed with a 17 year old step son learner driver, doing his best to break speed limits on every occasion..

Leave Sydney, head towards Southern Highlands - but give the so-called famous Bowral a miss and arrive for breakfast at Berrima - great pub, great cafes; and interesting historical jail...at first for 19th century convicts - not all English petty thieves - but also some Irish political prisoner convicts..in 20th century for a long time..THE jail for corrupt, sometimes drug dealing, police; and corrupt bribe taking politicians and Corrections officials.
Who in the recent past were allowed out of Berrima Jail to sell their artwork, woodwork etc to tourists...

Next stop Goulburn:
Home to large Police Academy; home to the toughest and strictest prison in the Nation - ie Goulburn Super Max - a jail within an already strict Maximum security jail...home to the nation's worst serial killers and captured terrorists...
Great pubs in main Street of Goulburn - The Hibernian probably the best... Goulburn is also home to two of the most beautiful small cathedrals in the nation; one Catholic the other Anglican...

Head out of Goulburn on a beautiful scenic drive route to Braidwood (only a 50 minutes drive away)..
Only 15 minutes drive out of Goulburn is a SSPX Priory (and former SSPX seminary)...a small slice/taste of heaven; and Fr Curtis a fine, wise priest and leader...
Then Braidwood, small town, half way between Nation's Capital, Canberra ACT - which is home to a new Federal Parliament Building that looks like it was designed to appear or in fact be a nuclear war shelter..in Canberra - a truly Great War Memorial...head out of Canberra towards coast, first hitting town of Queanbeyan where I lived while working in Canberra.....over 20 years ago - mention my real name in pubs in Queanbeyan and even after 20 plus years you may be asked to leave...Continue to Braidwood...small town of many arty creative hippy types including a real Austrian Duke or noble who is an artist there...2 good pubs; mention my name in some cafes or restaurants in Braidwood and you'll probably receive an Irish Coffee (ie with Scotch) or Jamaican coffee for free ..
Leave Braidwood for one hour drive down a mountain to large coastal town Batemans Bay - a GREAT place for fishing...then head north along the coast for some of the most beautiful beaches in the world all the way up to Wollongong - but from either Kiama or Nowra on the coast take a western turn left to a small place called Kangaroo Valley...home to a small NO but orthodox Catholic Monastery and gift shop...then one can head through a certain dirt track road to a cabin where I am now...with a beautiful view of Pacific Ocean...well stocked with steak, red wine and over a 100 of my favourite books...and close enough to a significant naval base near Jervis Bay and also the ship ......that if ever the Biden Administration's antics result in WW3 with either China or Russia making or responding to a first nuclear strike...due to not far away nuclear subs etc...I'd say me, my step son, and my dog and my cabin will only remain as shadows and dust before I could complete one Hail Mary...

Paul, you may have written a bucket list item for me. I have been to Australia a very few times, mostly enroute to the BIOT. I think I would like Tasmania for the gardens and weather. And I never got to NZ despite a lifelong fascination with that place, too. My last encounter with Australia was doing work for the RAAF C-17 simulator. Here is the link: https://www.airforce-technology.com/news/raaf-c-17-simulator-participates-in-virtual-exercise-with-us-and-partners/. I was the Fronteir Tech program manager. Years ago I flew missions out of Darwin and was taken with the area, especially the excellent produce and lovely women. Finally, I kept encountering a SAS fellow in odd places throughout my career in the Persian Gulf. It got funny that I would be in what I thought was a remote area and this fellow would show up, sometimes at a sprint to jump in a hole with me. "You, again???" was all I could think to say.

Corrected version:

Also, I forgot to add that your last paragraph reminded me of the old movie, "On the Beach". The old movies get denigrated for going soft on hard topics, I don't think is totally, true.

Also, The USN is commissioning a new ship, USS Canberra, in Canberra! I think that is intended to give some folks reason to think twice before tossing a nuke.

Paul said...

RCG,

Thx for your reply. Very interesting...
My mother's father, my
Grandfather, was based in Darwin in the RAAF during WW2; while it was my father's father, my grandfather, who won most medals like the Military Medal , etc, for "conspicuous gallantry and greatest coolness and greatest devotion to duty during several major battles on the western Front in WW1..

The ferocity of Australian warriors is legend. A fact not lost on my wife who is degreed in East Asian history. She also put herself through university as a professional model. So when we got married I moved her to Okinawa to begin our life together. She was excited to find out about where I would go on my next trip while I had plans to fill that island with Calibans. So she would, like Scheherazade, tell me stories about those destinations instead of indulging my romantic ideas. So one day I was leading a large formation of tankers and fighter aircraft to Darwin on a diplomatic flight clearance to get across Borneo and Indonesia. We were not exactly welcome in their airspace, and one of the air traffic controllers demanded that we report our position when “abeam Balikpapan” or we must turn the flight back north. This was a large exercise among allies and we could not stand the embarrassment of missing our scheduled arrival, so the commander informed me that we would simply proceed on planned course and sort it out later. He did not include in his calculous that if we did get to Australia we would probably not get a clearance to return without significant groveling by senior US officials. Due to my wife’s bedtime stories I was the only one in the flight that knew where Balikpapan is and avoided a significant diplomatic problem by acknowledging and complying with the instruction.

Paul said...

RCG,

Thx again for all that.
Very interesting.

Regarding the "ferocity" of ADF members.
Many progressive leftists, in Australia, especially in the media, believes this ferocity has got out of hand at different times and on different occasions from Korea to Afghanistan.

For example, claims were made and are still made that at least 25 Australian Special Forces soldiers murdered large numbers of civilians and even prisoners in Afghanistan between 2006 to 2016.

I wonder what rules of war the Taliban were following in Afghanistan during that decade 2006 to 2016?

Well I have a coin they can use, if they need it.
