The Walk-in Freezer at Reilly's Pub (2)

ARGH!

"... accepted the Bible as their final authority."

I am so maddened by this! What ever happened to God? Doesn't *HE* get a vote?

I trust God's interpretation of His will much more than I trust my interpretation of the Bible. I guess that makes me a non-Bible-believing Christian.

Lucky for me John 3:16 says I need to believe in Christ, not in the Bible. *sigh*.

I would hang out in the freezer....but the already cold temperatures outside my house is bad enough for my back.

My back is not happy....not happy at all. It was so happy for awhile...but now it's just not.

/me feels her tears freeze to her face

You fill a sock with uncooked rice, and tie off the open end.

Then you put the sock in the microwave for exactly two minutes, take it out, and put it on whichever spot on your body hurts the worst. It will provide moist heat for upwards of an hour. Careful that you don't burn yourself.

You can get commercially-made ones manufactured under the trademark name "Bed Buddy", but they work the same as the homemade sock & rice ones. I've had a Bed Buddy for a while now, recommended by my chiropracter, and I couldn't do without it.

And people here in this thread talking about them and RR in general (behind their backs, and where they cannot defend false and rude attacks against them) is pleasant and kind?

A Sheep,

I'm not sure what you mean by the first part?

And as far as behind their back - I would be happy to say it to their face! - that is why I was banned! I wasn't mean about it, but I was firm in confronting them for their antiCatholic bigotry and general all around meanness, and I got the boot for it.

I can well imagine that if I go to RR - I will be met with a similar response - shining bright lights in people's eyes who are in darkness often is not appreciated.

They feel it is acceptable to 'share the truth with Catholics that they are in the harlot of Babylon' so turnabout should be fair play, wouldn't you say?

God Bless,

Allen

Where does the moisture come from? I'm confused; rice starts out pretty dry where I come from.

 

[AngelAmidala]

I don't know and I don't care.... hehe

I'm definitely going to try this!

 

[Wolseley]

I don't know where the moisture comes from either; I only know that they work.

I've draped mine across the back of my neck and kicked back in my recliner, and it not only takes the kinks out of my neck, it's so relaxing it puts me to sleep.

 

[seebs]

Man, I have to try this; due to a moment of excess on the part of Beloved Spouse, there's around 40 pounds of rice in my kitchen. All I need is a sock.

 

[Wolseley]

LOL. If you make one, be sure to only fill the sock about 2/3 full; you need to leave some slack in there so you can mold the sock around whichever body part in sore, such as draping it across your neck, so it'll sag down like a collar. You want to put enough rice in it so it's like the sand in an hourglass, so to speak, not stuffed full and stiff like a sausage.

I usually have a very high respect for any side of a debate, and I rarely dismiss opponent's arguments entirely. But the KJV-only position is totally without merit -- pure rubbish. I've never seen a more poorly constructed or defended argument, one that required so many conflicting ideas and strings of utter absurdities to construct a nonsensical doctrine which contributes nothing to any church except pointless exclusiveness. The entire argument is foolishness -- from the attempts to use Bible verses to prove that modern translations are corrupt, to the numerous irrelevant ad hominem; from the ignorance of the KJV translator's personal views, to the complete inability of anyone to explain *how* they came to believe in KJV-onlyism -- even the Creationists and anti-Catholics have better ideas and more proof than this.

Grr.

Here's a site advertising the commercially-made ones:

I also forgot to mention that you can put them in the freezer overnight and they make a great cold-pack as well.

Rice is incredibly absorbent and has moisture in it even when it's "dry". My grandmother always used to put a few kernels of rice in the salt shakers to keep the delta humidity from causing the salt to stick and clump.

 

[Wolseley]

There you go; I knew it had to work somehow.

 

[seebs]

I give up. I have now been told:

1. That the Bible utterly clearly condemns any kind of lifetime slavery, and anyone who doesn't see this isn't really reading the Bible.
and
2. That the Bible obviously condones slavery, which is not morally wrong, it's just no longer economically necessary.

Both people assure me that I am a fool to think that there is any ambiguity or room for human error.

I am wondering if I can join some kind of weird cult that believes in God and follows Christ, but has nothing at all to do with Christians. I mean, we wouldn't get the bulk discounts, but we could love God and be amazed at His grace and mercy, we could have our sins forgiven and washed away by Christ's blood, and that would be *it*. No special sets of magic words. No specific editions of books which act as magical talismans without which God cannot guide us. No people so utterly certain that they are the only people with the truth that they will kill others to suppress what they believe to be lies. Just, I dunno, a few people who believe.

Is that so much to ask?

Wow, I didn't know the Bible was Hegelian. LOL
