The "ringer" or "dinger" of a bell is called the "clapper" of the bell. In orthodox countries, it is called the "tongue" of the bell: язык колокола

I will absolutely cross-post this with commentary on my Substack feed. Thank you both for this episode: I guarantee you that this will NOT be covered my other media outlets. Question... this lady president of Moldova... is she a red sea pedestrian?

I've heard that demons don't like the sound of bells. And that that's why all churches in the US that would traditionally ring their bells at noon no longer do so.

In several parts of the country (U.S.), liberals are making a fuss to have municipalities pass noise ordinances to silence the bells of churches that still ring. This has been going on for some time and is picking up pace now that so many liberals have successfully gotten themselves onto city councils.

I'm surprised some bells still ring. The ones in my home town quit ringing decades ago.

But speaking of making laws, the next time they want to have a Pride parade turn that same strategy back at them. I heard the people in a couple towns got them stopped by old, already existing decency laws.

All towns or counties have them.

It is worthy of taking note, that all western nations are under the spell of the antiChrist, and have turned their nations over to the beast for one hour. The Bible tells us that one day for God is a thousand years for man,...1000 years divided by 24 (hours) = 41.666 years for man. Is it possible we have been taken over by the wicked ones since the mid 80's?

Soros is behind the government in Moldova. Other than that it's all Russian propaganda.... if you don't know the history of those territories you are inclined to think that way. The issue is that during the USSR most of the population that were not Russian were forcefully russified and those that refused were sent to Siberia to die. I know that as I have roots back there. Moldova declared independency from Russia after the Soviet courting fell. So they have the right to decide how to organize thier Church. Half under the Russian patriarch and half under the Romanian patriarch. Calling the other Metropolis a schismatic is evil intended and Russian propaganda. Let's not forget that the majority of citizens are not Russians and those that are had a choice to be under the Russian patriarch unlike the unkrainians. These church issues can only be resolved in a counsel a d not by some influences blogg,ers.

Maia Sandu is intended a puppet of Soros and the Marxist party in US and UE but you can't put the patriarch on the same pedestal

I'll be careful brother when making such statements. You'll be judged for every single word said in vain out of fanatism for one jurisdiction or another

Nothing that was said herein is counter-factual or even disputed.

The numbers speak for themselves in relation to Moldovan population growth 1813-1917 and Church growth 1813-1917, unprecedented regional prosperity that could have rivaled St Stephan the Great’s time (despite the fact that Moldovan was always at risk of invasion).

And no, we did not praise the Bolsheviks or Soviets (we actually critiqued their butchering of Church-State relations & persecutions).
