Couched in "prayer," such verbiage is a slur, intended at "someone" by clever wording.
Given the "daily thread amen™" focus on a Swiss-resident Ukrainian pilot who is not "serving" in his nation's war shows the dissonance in a self announced minister. But one should note, here in America today, even the adjective "Methodist" and the profession "minister" can be words so misused as to sometimes mean quite a horrid thing.
I cite a news item, which I'd posted to another thread: "Apostate Incursion: ‘Pastor’ Says She ‘Felt God's Presence’ While Aborting Her Two Children," Harbinger's Daily, 15 August 2023.
Not every minister is wholly good and decent. And, as the classic tale of Medea as well as the well-known "judgment of Solomon" in which one "mother" was willing to see a child die to win an argument, wrapping one's self in the mantle of "mom" and "rev" do not prove anything.
I do not find you a "pro-Russian invasion propagandist." I note she didn't dare actually call this either. Until she does with the courage of her convictions, she is merely "blowing smoke."
As several Freepers have observed on many different threads, time will tell. This daily focus rooted in a Swiss-resident vlogger is "war porn," quite like one finds from others.
Time will tell.
Yes, putting prayer to those slurs gives me the creeps. I’m a Christian who falls short every day, but seeing people wind prayers into hateful comments makes my skin crawl.

I’ve never seen Rocco post anything remotely pro-Russian or pro-invasion. Like me, I’m pretty sure he finds both Russia and Ukraine to be corrupt. Some of these Ukrainians and their camp followers here try to insist that those of us who don’t support Zelensky and don’t support our tax dollars going to that corrupt sinkhole are pro-Russian, when that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Then again, the truth doesn’t seem to be very important to some of these folks.
