surprised your local congregation has not burt you at the stake yet lol

they're probly still too stunned to take any action yet

I wanted to stand up and say something this morning~during "Children's Moments" the teacher was talking about heritage of the American Baptist Church-it's so old it goes back to just before the Revolutionary War ...

Then in Sunday School the lesson mentioned Jonathan Edwards, and facilitator never heard of him...

There seems to be little sense of history in our congregation, definitely nothing between Acts and the Reformation

Yeah, theological intellectualism is something I couldn't live without in a church. Being learned helps build one's faith, not erode it. I feel for you, Jim.

Mornin'~things seemed kinda quiet around CF this morning so I did an unofficial count again

Total online: 158 (95 Members/63 Guests)

More members in Congregational area but more total in Society area...
Bogus leadership of CF = Dropping member numbers.
*shrugs*

I have been noticing it's slowing down. No big shocker really.

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables, by getting someone else to hold them while you chop.

Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat, by using the sink.

For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives; then you'll be afraid to cough.

You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Remember: Everyone seems normal, until you get to know them.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Hey congrats! Took me a while when I quit a few years ago but I'd only gotten to a pack a week so I wasn't a real serious smoker.

I have lost 22 lbs in the past 6 weeks, so I'm pretty happy about that--now I'm 6'2" & 246 instead of 268

No drugs or stupid pills, just went from driving 1200 miles a week to humping boxes in the warehouse. It's been so long since I've done real physical work, and I'm responding to it very well

Thank you! Not yet, actually. Have heard it's supposed to taste better gradually, though... say, what's chocolate ice-cream like for a non-smoker? Cos, even for a smoker, tis yummy
