Pete Hegseth said that "War is hell". In other words, when the government drafts you to go to war they are essentially telling you to "go to hell".

If you don't do it, do you know what they will do unto you.

I was under the impression they put you in prison, but first there is a trial and you can claim you object to war. Mohammed Ali refused to go to war, they didn't imprison him, but he wasn't able to box for several years.
 
Coalition of the Willing Killing beginning to fall apart

All this does is pay tribute to the IRGC mafia. Appeasement in the face of deliberate breaches of ages-old settled maritime law.
Not a good look.

Well it also depends on which country your in. Such as Iran.
 
Let us not be dragged back into the shadows of unfulfilled prophecy and religious toil?
Darbyism needs to go away... all it has brought is death and destruction.
The eponymous "type" and saga of Joseph and his brothers is not Darbyism.
But it is intentional but as of yet unfulfilled Bible prophecy.
Despite the woefully and willfully ignorant denials.

But the 12 tribes did recognize Jesus (Joseph) at his 1st coming. Who do you think the 12 disciples and thousands who believed through their word were?

It's good that they added Larijani, but it is conspicuous to me still the absence of Pezeshkian and Araghchi. Trump's long called weakness of wanting to make a deal remains the achilles' heel to the whole plan. Pezeshkian must die, this not an emotional command or wish, to functionally wrap the cult up and end the ability both within the cult's own belief system and also just the functional of their government which Khomeini (the first Ayatollah) created, it requires making sure that all three are dead at once; Khamenei (now his son), Ejei, and Pezeshkian (or the current acting President of Iran). Indeed technically we partially failed but partially succeeded in the opening strike due to this. While successful in killing the Ayatollah and crushing much of the clerics and significantly delegitimzing the succession process, because Trump left Pezeshkian alive thinking he could deal with him, well he restarted the cycle even if it is a shoddy cardboard cutout effigy of itself. To finish the job Pezeshkian goes then Moosh-taba goes, simple as that. Pezeshkian already has shown he couldn't be trusted anyways to be a leader of a new Iran, not only was his immediate impulse to revive the cult, but but let's not forget his slithering game striking all his Mideast neighbors and now in a threatening sort of way promising not to do it again.
 
Oh so you don't believe in the Second Coming? Wow. Bummer to be you!

Your Joseph eschatological interpretation doesn't add up. The timing is all off. For one thing, Jesus hasn't received a bride yet; he's betrothed, but not married. So that kind of wrecks the gentile bride thing
