ss51: "A hit with a .22 is better than a miss with anything else" assumes or at least implies the female defender will typically, or at least often, miss the first time. This is a baseless assumption and renders your argument invalid. "A woman can limp grip a pistol resulting in failure to...

If it's a health beverage or something in that vein... "If they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them." (Sorry, I just couldn't resist!)

None of us can give you worthwhile advice based on second-hand accounts. Get her on this forum (or at least tell her about it and give her the option). Then she can state the problem first-hand, we can ask her questions, probe for intentionally-hidden details and personal agendas, and so on.

As long as we're talking target shooting, popping soup cans along the ground, and so on, a .22 is fine. But for "serious work," never.

Look, those people's feelings about this are their own to manage. Don't permit them to aim it all back in your direction, and make you feel like you're the one at fault. That's called emotional manipulation. Get out of there now, and don't look back. Furthermore, don't feel guilty about...

I think all you can do is get on the Internet and find out what churches are in your (driving-distance) area, and then start checking them out in person one week at a time. Don't disqualify a church based solely on its denomination. Sometimes a church's stated denomination doesn't accurately...

Burning sage solely to make the place smell better, sure, why not, as long as it doesn't trigger the fire alarms and roll a bunch of big red trucks onto the property. Burning sage to rid the place of negativity, absurd. Yeah, unbiblical for sure, but what hits me a lot harder, personally, is...

Care to expand on that?

What?!? You totally missed the analogy I made.

↑ This is the correct answer. Say this to her: "If I told you you we're going to Six Flags, would you say, 'How do I know?' Would you ask me if I got paid last week? Would you ask me if there's enough gas in the car? Would you ask me if I can afford admission and the price of the rides? No...

COVID Vaccine Advocate Post Proof Of Her 13-Year-Old Nephew Vaccination Who Died Three Days Later From Heart Failure – He Had No Known Health Problems Almost 4,000 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts have tested positive for COVID-19 Infections Spike in Mongolia, Even With Half of...

OP, I'm sorry, but you're getting some very bad information in this thread. Please read the following: Dr. McCullough: COVID Vaccines Have Already Killed Up to 50,000 Americans, According to Whistleblowers › American Greatness...

You keep getting those feelings because you’re human. If the feelings are intense, that’s the devil trying to weasel under your skin like a tick. Never mind the prayer warriors and all that business. YOU take your authority and tell him to back off. (You do know you have that authority...

Whenever the switching-churches topic comes up, the very first question that pops into my mind is whether the new church preaches the TRUE word of God and the WHOLE word of God, and manifests it into reality the way it was done in the four gospels. Good luck finding one these days. Second best...

1) We're all plugged into the instantaneous news cycle, thanks to the Internet. We see bad stuff happening all over the world now, right after it's happened -- or even during. 40 years and prior to that, 90% of what we see in the news today, we never would've found out about it. 2) The...

I don't think the question should be, "How do I get over these feelings of guilt." I think it should be, "How do I stop doing the things that make me feel guilty?" That way, you starve guilt out of existence; it's got nothing left to live on. It may come down to nothing more than quitting...

I assume you're interested in what to expect when you DO leave the church you're at and move to a larger church. Before you're even granted an audition, you'll be expected to provide links to videos of you playing with other bands. Not audio only. Videos. The church will want to see how old you...

I agree with the majority of what you're saying. I think people aren't being auditioned properly. The bar is set way too low around here. And the wrong people are auditioning the wrong talent. This is how untalented people slip in. A side note: There's a huge danger to green-lighting...

But here's the point: People naturally have a visceral reaction to stinking garbage. It makes for a truly terrible experience. We as musicians are supposed to be leading people in worship, not testing the limits of people's vomit reflexes. Poorly-played music distracts from worship. That's...

Yep, used those regularly in the last church I played at. I remember one opener when everything but the drums, bass guitar, and acoustic guitar were in the backing track. We had musicians on stage for the other instruments, but they were muted. Came out fantastic. The problem arises when...
