Coming into a revived Methodist church... In the course of an hour I was at my uncle's. He was surprised to see me, but gave me a cordial welcome. The first thing he did was to disarm me, and that ended my pistol-toting. I have never had one about my person or home to this good day. And I never...

The dry denominational church... "Grandfather was kind to me and considerate of me, yet he was strict with me.

All of the posts might not have been dealt with... But the poster was. If we were to deal with everything objectable we wouldn't have anyone here to talk about it!

I see the posts in question were removed. So... Carry on!

Nobody was officially warned over this. We have occasions where people want to call out the rest of us as heretics for not going along with their unique teachings. Sometimes I put the old Mod Hat on before it gets to that point.

Wernher von Braun, the famous rocket scientist, mentions being invited to church to be met up with a vibrant community. He does not mention church affiliation, only that, "these people make a live, vibrant community." One day in Fort Bliss, a neighbor called and asked if I would like to go to...

All of my years running spectrometers I have come to believe that if E = mc2 then we can divide and conclude... Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2) --- Making this eternal stuff... And there are three varieties... Natural E/c2 - All mass is basically cooled plasma --- And bang! Back to plasma! Mental...

I say! Don't become so wise that you miss out on the important little things.. 25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so...
