Year in Review

I’ve been on a tear this year. More than 40% of my blog articles were written in 2024. It may seem like what I write about is somewhat random, but there has actually been a lot of thematic consistency.

Before 2024, I interacted a lot with the Sigma Frame blog. I had been commenting there since at least 2018. While I wrote a number of articles on this blog on topics discussed there, the back-and-forth interaction became much more significant in 2022 into 2023. You can read an extremely detailed recounting of that history here. (Mostly) starting in 2024, I moved almost completely to this blog and stopped most direct interactions with Sigma Frame. All the time previously spent writing comments was now freed up for writing on this blog (which didn’t make—and hasn’t made—anyone at Sigma Frame any happier). When Jack @ Sigma Frame finally started making personal attacks and ultimately banned me, I left permanently.

The New Era

Over the next few months I wrote some of my most important articles, such as how and why scripture forbids Christians from divorce and remarriage:

On Divorce

I wrote a number of articles on Ephesians 5, always an important topic to the Manosphere. These reflect improved scholarship (and better writing on my part compared to previous articles).

Paul’s Use of Submission
The Structure of Ephesians 5
Jesus Sanctified Himself
Men Act; Women Acted Upon

I did a 3-part series on intelligence, education, and covid:

The Decline of Society

I did a series on Masculinity (and Femininity) and the Manosphere:

Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3
On Suffering

Other important articles include:

Christian Discernment
Luke 23:43 and Sheol
The Diocese of Egypt

But the defining feature of the era was the ongoing debate with Sharkly. I wrote a huge number of articles pertaining to “Christian” patriarchy…

Christ’s Authority
Why is Disproving Arguments So Hard?
“Sharkly on Women” (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5)
Hair, Veils, and Authority
Paul Addressed Wives
Hair is a Covering
Despair
Talking About Old Women
1 Corinthians 14:34-35
Ambiguity in the Bible
It’s a Military Term
The Disadvantage of Authority
Eve is Trying to Subvert Her Curse
Patriarchy

…as well as a short series responding to Sharkly’s take on Jesus, hyperbole, and violence:

“Jesus and Hyperbole” (Part 1 and Part 2)

Although during this time I had a lot of blog interaction in the comment section, these posts served to alienate many of my readers. The whole era culminated in one of my most abrasive posts ever:

GunnerQ and The Beast’s Mark

Who would have thought that writing about Roman Catholicism would be more abrasive than Gunner Q’s antisemitism? This post was single-handedly responsible for altering the focus of the blog for the next 4 or 5 months.

It also resulted in the continued loss of much of the repeat commentariat. For a period of a couple months, this blog had a meaningful readership with a diversity of people commenting. I have been blogging for years, but never garnered much interest. But, given what I do here and how I do it, this was never going to last for long.

A New Focus

After going through a few months on various topics (including burning through much of my previously written material), I finally settled into a rhythm, focusing on thematic posts and series of articles.

It began with the theme of Roman Catholicism, including a series on the liturgy of the early church and a series on justification by faith. That theme has continued.

The Eucharist (40-part and 5 follow-up posts)
Justification By Faith (7-part)
Gunner Q and the Mark of the Beast, Part 2
Vigano (3-part)
Eucharistic Miracle: August 10, 2024
The Sacraments (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3)

After spending nearly two months on the primary theme of Roman Catholicism, I went back to the old standard “Christian patriarchy and headship” theme:

Mutual Submission (10-part)
Headship Is Still Not Authority
Great Questions

Part of this was a long overdue interaction with Sigma Frame. Unlike before, this did not lead to a back-and-forth dialogue. Indeed, interactions had become “toxic.” So I wrote a series on sectarianism, divisions, censorship, conflict, deception, and ad hominem:

Dishonesty in the Manosphere (7-part)

I did a series on the Olympics and their hostility towards Christianity:

Olympics (3-part)

For a long time I have been reading Radix Fidem and Catacomb Resident. I rarely commented, whether in support or in criticism. But it was time to write, so I did.

Review: The Path is Very Long
The Nature of Faith
A Decree to Rebuild
Eschatology Q&A
Eschatology Notes
Divine Judgment?

Then I dove into the current topic on prophecy, the occult, and mysticism:

On Prophets and Prophecy
Test the Spirits
Mysticism and Headship
Sigma Frame Has Fallen
“The Occult in the Mainstream Church” (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5)
Heart and Mind” (and “Redux“)
Emotion and Intellect
Making Your Own Choice
A New Commandment
Proof-texting
Dr. Michael Heiser
Being-a-Christian
Positivism
The Parable of the Four Soils
They Can’t Understand the Word” (5-part)
Semantic Mischief
“Reviewing ‘Hellenism Is From Hell'” (Part 1 and Part 2)
The Path of the Heart
John MacArthur on Contemplative Prayer
Christian Mysticism and Reason

Getting back to the “roots,” I’ve also gotten back to writing about more Red Pill topics:

Hypergamy is a Myth
Should Man Woo Woman?
Rebellion and Authority
Submit in Everything…
Sigma Frame Abandons the Patriarchy

And lastly, I wrote a couple posts on Jesus’ parables.

The Parable of the WHAT?
The Good Samaritan

Moving Forward

I’m not sure how much I will continue to post in 2025. I doubt I will post at the same clip as in 2024, but who can say? Perhaps I’ll move to the once-a-week model. In any case, I’ll resume posting on January 6. See you then.

Will this be the year I finally publish my historical analysis on Christology among the early writers? Will it be the year I finally publish my articles on the Olivet Discourse? Time will tell.

    It was a busy year for you indeed!

    I closed out 2024 DJ-ing a small nightclub / bar restaurant in LA. A family owned place since the 1970’s. It was right on Sunset Blvd. You could tell it was a “place to go” back then and its fallen on hard times. Before the festivities began, I joined the other DJs, a few burlesque dancers that would be performing and the owner in the private “banquet room” for a wonderful meal.

    It was so 1960’s……when a group would dress up, meet up for dinner and drinks in a place like this and then dance and the like until ringing in the new year.

    It was fun, and the place was packed. Got home at 4AM, and showered, got a coffee and walked one block down from my apartment to watch the Rose Bowl Parade right on Colorado Blvd!

    According to Red Pill….the new year…….well, Trump is gonna fix everything. You are under-employed. Trump has a plan! You served your country? More freebies for you! You pay taxes? No worries…Trump is gonna fix that and balance the budget! Here illegally? He’s gonna send you packing! You owe the IRS? If you afilthy rich like him or Elon Misk…..it will be wiped clean! Bubba in the trailer park will pay for that! More manfacturing jobs? He’s gonna make all the businesses come back and built everything in the USA like we used to do.
    Women? They are all gonna fall in line, become housewives and use their vaginas so they dont atrophy from lack of use! HB-1 visas will be extended and and will continue to gut blue collar workers and even professional ones!

    As for California? I did have an interview for a job in Salt Lake City.

    Was told I was qualified for the job (higher end apartment complex with combined retail) but “they dont want to hire Californians” and the pay dollar for dollar……even with lower taxes in Utah……I would still be falling behind. Yes, yes…Trump has a plan for that too I am sure 😉

    I guess I’ll have to eat out of dumpsters, and invest all extra money so I can retire by 75!

    Anyway…….

    Life rolls on! Have a great new year and looking forward to what comes up here 🙂

      “It was a busy year for you indeed!”

      I finally finished my years-long-delayed floor-to-ceiling bookcase by installing all those back panels in this picture:

      Those are solid cherry, not veneer, plywood, or similar.

      Since I had been using the bookcase, I had to remove all the books and put them somewhere while I worked on it. Took about a week, but I did finish a few days before Christmas.

      I also spent a lot of time with the family between the various end-of-year holidays. It was nice. Yesterday we went Frisbee Golfing, which is probably our favorite family physical activity.

      “I guess I’ll have to eat out of dumpsters…”

      I’ve been “dumpster diving.” That’s all I’ll say in public.

      “Have a great new year and looking forward to what comes up here”

      I’m sure it will be…uh…great. Award winning stuff, no doubt. 😉

    I especially liked how Trump was an “outsider” according to many R lovers and D journalists, even though he gave tons of money to politicians for decades.

    His whole ”gonna get rid of illegals” was just to get the Savage fan- voters behind him.

    It’s similar to Jack’s SF saying ”unicorn’s don’t exist” for years to kiss-up to MGTOW,blackpillers, and Deti, and then all of a sudden ”unicorns do exist!!!PRAISE Da LAWD!!!” that drives away Deti from SF & most of the SF readership to Deti-central AKA Spawnys to read him still ripping women, Vox & western Civ new ones.

    Also ”Jack” where did that ”Beat you over the head Patriarchy” you quoted me on come from?

    Was based on ”traditional” women you love ”frying panning” their husband.

    How is that”Patriarchy”?it must be cuz guys like you keep quiet on it while claiming ”if a MENZ just had money, game and ”Patriarchy” ”dat b!tch be like all the HB7S,8S& 9S I was slaying before I left for Taiwan in the 2000s!!”

    Taking the Red Pill and Discovering the Manosphere
    Warning: This section has sexually explicit content that is NSFW.

    Back in 2004-2006, I subscribed to an early PUA’s newsletter (‘Double Your Dating’ with Eben Pagan, AKA David DeAngelo). I thought his name, Pagan, was hilariously fitting, and rich in significance. I didn’t take it very seriously, but as bawdy, yet insightful humor. However, I realized that there were some things about life and relationships that I did not understand, but I really needed to. I also recognized on a deeper level that Pagan and other PUA’s were hitting on something that was considered very taboo and esoteric, according to the social standards at that time. Of course, this information eventually evolved into Red Pill awareness, which is now rather well known around the Manosphere. It is also now well known, that the PUA community, the Manosphere, and eventually MGTOW, were all reactions to the fact that Feministic influences retained control over certain key aspects of RP information as being taboo at that time. But ever since the pussy cat was let out of the bag, thanks to the internet, RP awareness went from being an unspoken taboo, to what is now labeled as ‘toxic’. The word ‘toxic’ is an expression of the Feminist’s fear of losing control over the narrative. Most normal men don’t consider RP Truth to be toxic.

    In 2005, the clear connection between Feminism and the sex drought for 80% of men was relatively unknown. As a diligent Christian who voluntarily accepted celibacy until marriage, I was one of the 80%. But after I got married in early 2006, I gradually forgot about the beginnings of what we would now call RP awareness.

    Then in 2009, during a time when my now ex-wife was creating a lot of trouble, I started blogging. Writing helped me sort things out and keep my mind straight. The Manosphere was still in its formative stage at that time, and I was yet unaware of it or that I would one day be it’s ”RP” pope as the messages from ”God” always tells MOI.

    In late 2014, sometime after my ex left me, I found some of Angel Donovan’s videos on YouTube, and subscribed to his podcast, Dating Skills Review for at least one special future ”RP” pope out there(I still don’t know I missed the significance of that title). Donovan’s show interviewed one person a week, so after about a year, I became familiar with several noteworthy personalities, including Robert Greene (‘The 48 Laws of Power’), Mark Manson (‘The New Man’), Dr. Robert Glover (‘No more Mr. Nice Guy’), and Susan Walsh (‘Hooking up Smart’). I think that was the beginning of what I would later call my Red Pill journey. It made a lot of sense to me, in regard to my exes’ bad behavior, but I still wasn’t fully satisfied with what I was learning as it didn’t have the required g@y porn nor ”tasteful” pics I desired.

    One major impression I got out of Donovan’s podcasts was the slow morphing transition of his perspective over time. He started out as a PUA, but then after a few years of experience and getting his N count into the 200+ range and being ”sanctified” numerous times over by it, he realized that the key to success, not only with women, but with most everything in life, was not merely in reciting witty pick-up lines and acting confidently, but in genuinely making himself a better man through ”sanctifying” fornication as he LOLed at ”Patriarchal” Fathers. This last point really resonated with my understanding of both Christianity and masculinity, and I started to wonder if there might be some overlapping truths between following Christ and learning Game. I also suspected that my ignorance in this respect could explain the failure of my marriage as I did not LOL enough at ”Ptriarchal” Fathers. So my interest in the subject deepened into a more serious consideration of the higher purpose-driven life of g@y porn, anal sex,, and LOLing at ”Patriarchal” Fathers.

    Meanwhile, my divorce was having its’ effects on me. I had too many women on my plate-boinking them left and right while LOLing at ”Patriarchy”(as usual). They always came on to me, texting me nude photos, asking for my opinion of them, and then demurely inviting me over. I was laying 7’s, 8’s and 9’s regularly, and occasionally, these relationships would overlap long enough to form a soft harem. Some of them actually told me that another one of these women had actually recommended me to them as that”’anal sex be SANCTIFYING”. I couldn’t refuse the opportunities as I was just another victim of feminism. My divorce had left me so horny and desperate at my peak SMV. I wanted it so bad, and it was just too easy like my messages from ”God” I keep receiving.

    Funny for such a HOT BABE slayer you had to go to Taiwan (w/o any of the hb19s WTF SMH?) just like Scott and Sharkly had to go to ”Computer dating”(which since the 1960s has had the image of being for ”desperate losers”, watch tv shows like Gomer Pyle, Mamas Family and such for proof) to find women even though they supposedly were getting all the babes’ attention on the streets.

    Also
    ”It is also now well known, that the PUA community, the Manosphere, and eventually MGTOW,”

    You tradcons just can never admit MGTOW first grabbed the net’s attention(maybe by its Glorious, Amazing, and Incredible p@on?Since you believe Trump is some kind of messiah? As you once did David Deangelo & Angel Donovan?) as early as the late ’90’s and especially by 2001 with both NO’MAAM & UnknownMisandry first coming out in January and March of that year.

    Why is Jack’s fairy tale-promoting site having so much trouble now getting more than a handful of comments or commenters other than Oscar, Info, and BtM?

    Most of the SF audience represented by St.Deti doesn’t believe in NAWALT=Unicorns!

    27 “Here is what I have found,” says the Preacher,
    “Adding one thing to the other to find out the reason,
    28 Which my soul still seeks but I cannot find:
    One man among a thousand I have found,
    But a woman among all these I have not found.
    29 Truly, this only I have found:
    That God made man upright,
    But they have sought out many schemes.”

    Ecclesiastes 7, NKJV

    Solomon was the king, the richest man in the world, and an absolute top alpha… And he still couldn’t find a unicorn.

    That whale guy above has had various probs with Derek, MOD & me over the last year and a half, but like loudmouth Sparkly and Deti he keeps his tight-lipped ”Jack”s deceitfulness of acting like he was chums with MGTOW & Blackpill while trying to become tradcon ”RP” anti-pope trying to usurp VOX=TED(who Jack like Sparkly couldn’t even do a simple google search to know VOX’S real identity) from that position who has been the legitimate tradcon ”RP” pope for some 15 years SMH .LOL(like my gamma bros say) ”Jack” who can’t even keep his audience over the last 3 and a half years thinks he can usurp the legitimate tradcon ”RP” pope VOX=tedlzlolzzzlollzzzlolzlzlzlz!

    ZLOLZZZLOLLZZZZZ.
