Welcome to the eighth iteration of No Quarter November. This is NQN, the Ocho.
First, let me share the thing you are probably most interested in—the video. None of my beard hairs were harmed in the making of this thing, which was naturally a concern of yours, and we thought it got the message across quite nicely. Here it is:
After you have watched it two or three times, I will feel free to move on to explain the ways that my posts are going to work, as well as our system of giveaways this year.
I will continue the pattern of posting on Monday and Wednesday, as in previous years. On Fridays throughout November, there will be a post resurrected from the archives. I have been hosting NQN for 8 years, but have only been recording my blog posts to video for four years. That means I am in a position to recycle four of the spicier posts from the non-recorded Novembers past. You can check in on those every Friday and see what we were up to back in the pre-COVID days, back when we thought things couldn’t get any crazier.
Okay, the giveaways. We have two sources of free stuff—Canon Press and my Mablog Book Shoppe. Over the course of November, if you pay close attention, you will be able to obtain my entire Canon kindle library (84 titles) for the low, low price of free. What you will have to do is check in at this website every time a new post goes up. It is just one web site, but it will be regularly updated. And in addition to all the free stuff, Canon will also be offering other deals on things like Canon+ subscriptions. So stay tuned. Watch us like a falcon would watch a “wee, sleeket, cowran, tim’rous beastie.”
At the Mablog Shoppe, I will be reducing the exorbitant price of $1 down to—I’ll say it again—the low, low price of free. I will do this to two additional books every time I put up a new post. If my math is right—and why shouldn’t it be?—that will amount to twenty-four free books over the course of the month.
That said, sit back and enjoy the month. Warm yourself by the fire.
Comments are open . . . but behave. And for those who want to know why I am doing janitorial work at the church hall . . . it’s a parable. A metaphor.
🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥
I love NQN!!!!!!!!!!
As a former church custodian, I definitely love the video. (Maybe that flamethrower would work wonders on a clogged toilet too.)
And as a current elder at my church, I definitely love the ending. May God put those things into flames in my life as well.
God bless you, Pastor Doug. Write well.
As someone who used to do janitorial work at a Christian church/school, I loved the representation lol
🎵It’s the hap-happiest season of all
Any idea how to get the free books in Canada? Doesn’t seem to be working for kindle
It should work anywhere, once the first post drops on Monday.
I also was a custodial engineer at a church, non-metaphorically speaking. The wet toilet paper stuck to the plunger was a nice touch.
I take it during the month of November the No Smoking signs have been taken down in the church hall?
This assumes there were No Smoking signs!
It’s been a long year, God has been faithful in the midst of struggle. I’m just happy to get to NQN. Thank you.
Doug erects another strawman to burn down, yawn. Meanwhile, the trojan horse named Tucker Carlson is given a seat at the head of the table, plus free invites for all his lovely friends.
Enjoy “Moneychanging in the Temple” Month!
See the water boy twitter posts about tucker Carlson soft balling the questions
That’s a good point, I missed those.
^ That is obv not me. I don’t support foreign oligarchs who father dozens of illegitimate children through transnational harems while selling a product that calls itself MechaHitler. And I don’t rot my brain on their slop platforms, either.
So you don’t pay taxes? I thought you guys were convinced that since he got in government he was going to take our tax money. Also twitter is terrible, agreed, it is also somewhat hard to avoid as a form of communication though.
You mean the guy with $50 billion-with-a-b in contracts? https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-federal-contracts-government/
$2bn more added just in the past few days? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/elon-musk-spacex-golden-dome-satellites-trump-b2856253.html
Twitter is very easy to avoid. I do it every day, as do billions of other people who aren’t addicted to slop. Don’t blame others for your lack of self-control.
I’m not sure why you brought up this thing about taxes; it seems like a red herring at best, or maybe some attempt at associating Musk opponents with sovereign citizen weirdos, which doesn’t seem up to your normal standards of discourse.
My point was to show the inconsistencies in his beliefs
Would you like to take this opportunity to retract your hasty attack? Or do you prefer to continue talking loudly about your ideological purity to distract from your intellectual dishonesty? There’s nothing wrong with boycotting a website you dislike (and in fact I can certainly sympathize with most of the criticisms of The Single-Character Website Formerly Known As Twitter), but if that contributes to you making false claims about someone’s character, you need to either relax the boycott or stop making those sorts of claims. I would also like to point out that fact-deficient partisan hot takes are probably the… Read more »
I see you spewing out fancy jargon like “intellectual dishonesty” but with no substance, so as usual this reads as convicting yourself via your own accusation. I.e., retract what for what reason? Is the claim that if I pay taxes — as commanded in Romans — that I am also obligated to be on Twitter? That is called a non sequitur. It is not worth responding to. My point is simple, and has been simple: the ethnonationalists pretending to represent Christendom have invited the barbarians inside, past the gate, and now they are devouring you. As predicted. By all the… Read more »
The thing I asked you to retract is not hard to figure out: You should retract the false assertion that Doug Wilson defends Tucker Carlson and his new association with Nick Fuentes. Even leaving aside the Twitter timeline, he specifically criticized Tucker for that very thing here on this blog only a day after you made the accusation. (This is not the first time he has publicly criticized Tucker’s naive association with evil men, either; consider e.g. https://dougwils.com/books-and-culture/s7-engaging-the-culture/tucker-vladimir-and-cultural-vindication.html as a sample that took fully 60 seconds to find.) That said, if my stipulation of “hasty attack” left too much uncertainty… Read more »
Very much looking forward to it. Write well!
Sir, I extend my sincere compliments. When faced with two brown trouts, you calmly and most expertly, dispatched the beasts. Your technique was/is superb.
NQN is a big deal. Thank you in advance for all the good work on and off screen. May the Lord reap much fruit from these efforts.
Let’er rip Pooh Bear!
Aye, but downloading Kindle in Australia is, again, problematic. Sigh.

Awesome!
Who was in the horse? Did they get burned up?
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Doug! Greetings from Uruguay!!
Since you’re using Spanish to name this year’s NQN, you could also start publishing books in our language!!
