Nicholas Robert Rekieta / Rekieta "Law" / Actually Criminal / @NickRekieta - Polysubstance enthusiast, "Lawtuber" turned Dabbleverse streamer, swinger, "whitebread ass nigga", snuffs animals for fun, visits 🇯🇲 BBC resorts. Legally a cuckold who lost his license to practice law. Wife's bod worth $50. The normies even know.

women will come regardless.

Yep, and we didn’t need to be tied to a modular cross or get Balldo’d to get there.

You'd be surprised how much people try to argue that they're really Christian despite this. A lot of mainline liberal American churches are just Moral Therapeutic Deists. They just believe whatever feels good and doesn't embarrass them at parties.

It is always fun seeing how far into Unitarianism a church can get before even they stop calling themselves Christian.

Exactly, we just need munchie cows that injure themselves into amputations.

 

[Potatoherder]

It seems we are at the end of bargaining stage right now. Depression will set in when his popularity begins to fade and his wine moms get bored. We all know they get off on a 'popular streamer' giving them attention. Once those numbers start dropping he is less appealing to them.

So has there ever been a satisfactory explanation for why they have a nanny? My understanding is that lady rackets has been a SAHM her whole life, and while Rackets did presumably work out of his strip mall office, he certainly works from home now. Why do they need a nanny? 5 kids can be a handful but certainly not so many that 2 parents can't teach them and keep track, especially if they have a home school group.

The Arian view is heresy to Catholic and Lutherans that seem to make up the Rekieta household background. Even the small, non-denom sort of church they watch on the telly every weekend sounds evangelical enough to see this as heresy. This (for at least me) puts the question as to how important this religiosity is to him and how he came up with these strange views. My guess is that he came up with it himself and is just doing whatever he wants. There is no moderating influence here. He just knows how to talk the talk for his more orthodox family and friends to not ruffle feathers.

TO be fair, Arianism isn't that Jesus was just a man, it is that Jesus is not coeternal with the Father, ie that Jesus was created/born/made by the Father at a later date. My understanding is that Arianism itself doesn't question the divinity of Christ, just that Christ is beholden to the Father.

If Rackets actually questions the divinity of Christ, that is far beyond Arianism, that is some other heresy I am forgetting the name of.

Your daily "i'm done talking about the drama" is out.

We're now getting into the meta territory:

I don't care.
I don't want to talk about how much I don't care anymore.
I don't want to talk about how I don't want to talk about how much I don't care anymore.

I still think Rumble is inflating numbers. I think they are just doing it in a smarter way that makes it near impossible to pin down exactly when and how much. Unlike the idiots at Odysee that were/are just counting every page load making it trivial to fuck with the numbers in real-time.

I won't repeat what I said earlier about this but the Rumble numbers suggest his night streams are more popular now than before he was banned, which is incongruous with super chat volume, YT chat activity, level of conversation about him on Twitter, etc.

And I was watching Ralph on Rumble right now and it said he had 50 viewers on Rumble alone. Enough said.

In most Christian denominations, it would constitute apostasy.

You can hold certain heretical beliefs while still believing in the divinity of Jesus.

In practical terms, if you hold these certain heretical beliefs, many denominations will work with you. If you're an outright apostate, there's literally no point.

Ralph makes a mockery of it, but "Christ is kang" is basically general order #1 if you're a Christian. Every other rule stems from that.

A form of Nestorianism, maybe. Though Nestorianism is more nuanced than denying Christ's divinity altogether.

There is no way he is putting the hours into streaming, chatting, sleeping, and having enough left over to be an attentive, present father capable of tending to them throughout the day. Small children need constant minding. No fucking way.

If I had five kids and the dad wasn’t pulling his weight, I’d absolutely have a nanny too. Hell I might have one anyway because five kids is a fucking lot.

 

[Mr.Bucket]

He outright admitted this during a cope stream. How his audience was more female now and he really liked it but the incel prudes are mad at him for that. He no longer is catering for a male audience anymore and people need to accept it.

Women ruin everything they touch.

 

[Poop Shoot]

Women ruin everything they touch.

Amazing how when Women act out it’s their fault, and when Men act out it’s… still the Women’s fault, apparently.

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

It shouldn't surprise anyone that my favorite book of the OT is Solomon's. Or that my favorite of the NT is Revelation, which is pure holy madness.

Revelations makes a lot more sense with Daniel and Isiah from what I understand.

 

[feral cat #6385]

Great. Tonight's topics are muh guns and trannines. And maybe women beating.

Women deserve equal rights. and lefts. If she can't handle me at my worst she doesn't deserve me at my best.

 

[Darkholme's Dungeon]

If Nick is the "lawpope", I can't wait to see who becomes the fucking Martin Luther to nail his 95 hypocrisies to his channel, and it shall be glorious.

He also has a strong aversion to making fun of women, because of his southern gentleman larp.

That's a funny idea, by your logic he'd be fine with Nick being a closeted degenerate but he wouldn't tolerate mixed loads?
...You made me laugh too hard...

 

[Ultrapenguin]

I'm getting the impression that Rekieta is really genuinely hurt by his old audience and KF rejecting him, judging by how much he has to keep reassuring himself he doesn't care.

It's actually getting a little sad. Despite his claims, it seems like he was way more invested in the idea that he was a trad role model than his audience was.

It’s the cultural history of a group of people who survived under multiple empires and kept their identity. There’s a lot of wisdom in it that gets forgotten because it’s against pleasure seeking or people don’t really want to listen.

I’m a fan of Sirrach/ Ecclesiastes. It’s a wisdom book that in it’s first passages is warning that everything you’ve ever desired isn’t new to the world. It basically is trying to warn young men about the pleasures of the world and what is just a distraction.

Here’s the bulk of it in women: Don't be jealous of the wife you love. You will only be teaching her how to do you harm. 2 Do not surrender your dignity to any woman. 3 Keep away from other men's wives[a] or they will trap you. 4 Don't keep company with female musicians; they will trick you. 5 Don't look too intently at a virgin, or you may find yourself forced to pay a bride price. 6 Don't give yourself to prostitutes, or you may lose everything you own. 7 So don't go looking about in the streets or wandering around in the run-down parts of town. 8 When you see a good-looking woman, look the other way; don't let your mind dwell on the beauty of any woman who is not your wife. Many men have been led astray by a woman's beauty. It kindles passion as if it were fire.9 Don't sit down to eat with another man's wife or join her for a drink. You may give in to the temptation of her charms and be destroyed by your passion.

Spoiler: Biblesperg

I don't know, I'm no bliblical scholar, but I've read Genesis and guys like Jacob were alternating between piping down both his cousins (?), and both of their maids (Leah, Rachel, Bilhah, and Zilpah). It's probably easier to not look at anyone except your wife when you've got like 6 of them.
And Jacob was definitely holy going by the bible. God blessed him personally and gave him the name Israel.

It's supposed to be the same god from beginning to end, so they should all have to play by the exact same rules from the beginning of Genesis all the way through the end of Revelation, no?

If not, so if anyone disagrees that people in later passages should be subject to the exact same divine code since it was a different time period from Genesis or w/e, then why exactly should the teachings you're referencing be considered applicable to this time period now almost 2000 years later?

Google says that Ecclesiastes was written in about 180BC, Jacob lived around 1700 BC. That means the time between when Jacob lived and when Ecclesiastes was written, was shorter than the time between when Ecclesiastes was written and now.

People pick and choose passages from the bible to lend some false sense of authority to their personal moral narrative, when the reality is that as a work it's regularly self-contradictory and contains a lot of extremely questionable behavior from supposedly good and holy people, which the before mentioned believers will simply hand-wave. It does not stand up to critical analysis except as a pseudo-historical record, and maybe as entertainment, because a lot of the stories are off the handle.

Maybe I'm being a grumpy internet athiest, but the entire trad bible-thumping thing seems very dumb. God is dead, embrace the Nietzschean ideal.

Plus a key point there is it's meant to warn young men, I doubt the bible covered how to handle midlife crises because everyone back then was dead by the time they were 40.

Hoeg, after dying of his stroke, will rise anew like Lazarus and deliver us from this faggotry.

 

[Ars Moriendi]

George Eberhart was asking good questions in the Elissa Clips comments. I notice Nick stopped answering the religious questions when George questioned whether "consent" is really a biblical frame that can cover anything. He also dodges by saying the Bible doesn't cover social media etiquette, but it has a lot to say about modesty (not posting pics designed to titillate) and not lusting over people who aren't your spouse. Just because you're in a marriage doesn't mean you don't also have a responsibility to people outside it. There's not really a way to justify going out naked for the sole purpose of getting propositions. Even if you turn them down, thus preserving "your" spiritual purity or whatever, you are still encouraging others around you to sin because you think it's fun.


That Habakkuk verse puts it even better.

I think him falling out with his family or Kayla's is a compelling theory, and it makes it more obvious how much of this whole episode is just pure rebellion. Sure, he probably really wants to do these things, but there's an element of doing it all publicly and pretending not to care in order to make specific people seethe. He's just mad that the internet, which he thought he could control, also seethed and is not on his side. This makes him wonder if dad-in-law doesn't have some good points after all. He can't admit this, so he is raging at the internet with all the impotence he feels when it comes to confronting his family.

It helps me understand him a lot better. This is classic Prodigal Son behavior, wallowing with the pigs because it's better than being beholden to someone with more experience than you. Trying to convince other people that you like the pig pen is never going to work, but he's got to play it out before he realizes someone else was right all along.

So I'm the guy who asked the question and emailed him. TLDR it was probably the most shameless(Nick) and fruitless endeavor.
I'm conflicted as to whether I should post the emails or not as Nick did respond in confidence and good faith but his answers were shit

Just FYI, for those who haven't noticed. The voting process for the 2022 Julays recently opened.

Thanks to this thread being moved, and a big uptick in traffic, Rekieta is... I believe for the first time ever... a nominee for a lolcow award.

View attachment 4164674

Thread to cast your votes is here.

They need to add a special achievement award for Nick given the speed he made the transition.

Unlike many other people where I love it, I am not terribly enjoying Nick's descent into cowdom. I hope he is redeemable.

I sincerely hope so too, but we’ve got dozens of boards here full of hundreds of cows and I dare you to find one who redeemed themselves.
