Fantastic! Thank you!

I’m the last Strobel in New York. But in the 1850’s, my ancestors ran a flourishing furniture business in Manhattan, called Philip Strobel & Sons Inc. Philip is my great great great grandfather and today not a single person in my family owns any furniture from our family’s business. With your help, I’m trying to find a dining table for my apartment in the West Village.

For background, Philip Strobel & Sons operated for several decades and was a leading furniture maker in the city. Strobel & Sons primarily made furniture for restaurants and cafes, but they also built home furnishings.

The warehouse was located on 53-55 Elizabeth Street, what is now Chinatown and the building still stands today. I walk past it from time to time and imagine what it looked like in its full operation 170 years ago.

What happened to the business? It grew to be very successful and was featured in The New York Times, and The New York Tribune, and now the full furniture catalogue is housed in the National Archives. I read in one article that there was a large fire in 1888; however, the business rebuilt. I’ve asked multiple family members about its final closure and have heard things from it taking a hit during Prohibition because no one was drinking, to The Great Depression, to gambling. No one is quite sure and it remains a family mystery.

I am decorating my new apartment and would love to be able to break bread with my friends and family on a table that my family built. I've scoured the internet for years, but tables from Philip Strobel & Sons are elusive. I am embarking on this treasure hunt to connect to my past — if you have any leads, please DM me. Thanks! 🫶

# Christian Anarchy

## A Simple Plan

Step One: Spread the Gospel

>Matthew 28:18-19 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Step Two: Don't Rule Over Others

>Matthew 20:25-26 But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,

Step Three: Live at Peace

>Romans 12:18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

(This list is in order of importance but just do it all.)

There are plenty of people who have been to war #veterans who are into #Bitcoin I don't see many openly on #Nostr Don't get me wrong, they are here, but it's kind of awesome that if they don't make themselves known, there is nothing to link them back to old profiles or other accounts that would make it obvious. Nostr is an awesome place where all can be free.

If you have been to #war #peace can be found here and the work required to find it is nothing more than learning the tools.

The tools of privacy are key to peace.

It is such a funny thing that people say "theology is cute, but..." as if disordered work makes any sense in itself.

If good work was enough, every non-governmental organizations would be essentially christian. Alas, they are not.

Conversion means turning oneself to God.

The only possible way to accomplish that is through abnegation. Saint John the Baptist, teaches us that we must make ourselves smaller so Jesus grows bigger.

Your assumption makes no sense, because cults are not Christian just because they claim to be.

In fact, it is a general occurrence in protestantism as a whole and the sects arisen in America in particular, that they have picked heresies which had already been dismantled by Saint Alphonse-Marie de Liguori in his work "History of heresies and their refutations".

Having surgery today and have been fasting in advance. It’s been so long since I’ve been up at crow piss without coffee - almost don’t know what to do with myself!

Hi. How are you? Is it me you’re looking for?

You look hot to me. May I have this dance?

Would you like to come inside?
