    Christian Etiquette Lots of good, old fashioned common sense advice. I still have a copy. My main take away from the book is that, no matter how formally correct or proper your etiquette may be, if it makes people uncomfortable it's wrong. Excerpt from page 5: "The essence of good manners is consideration. There are specific points of how and what, but when you are considerate of the feelings of others, their sensibilities, their opinions and their welfare, you are manifesting innate courtesy on which all manners are based." Slurping noodles in America?... Rude. Slurping noodles in Korea or Japan?...Totally expected and acceptable.

    I didn't get one either, but I assume it's because they haven't yet noticed my absence. edit: "We sure do love you."

    My father-in-law wrote a fairly lengthy memoir of his WWII experiences as an Army officer. With the help of my wife, he self-published it. It was only intended for a small, family audience, to aid in documenting family history. I assure you, though, it most definitely is "published".

    Once again. It's not a theory or thesis, it's a hypothesis. It's not provable nor repeatable. Your research methodology is, to state it kindly , completely flawed. You have presented an idea you believe to be true. And that's fine. We all have ideas. Sometimes they appear to be rational to ourselves but not to others. This is why we are tasked with providing evidence to support those ideas. There is a process for providing evidence that is generally accepted by most. It involves adherence to a set criteria of research methods. If you want anyone to accept your ideas and advance your hypothesis to a theoretical level, you need to follow that process. You need to compile data in an acceptable manner and allow for the possibility that you might have to entertain conflicting data. You might even have to change your position. If you can do that, perhaps you'll find an audience that is more receptive. However, this is something you seem to be unwilling or unable to do.

    This right here. If you're unable to define and regulate your control factors and variables, your research is worthless. The best you could hope for would be an observational analysis of your collected data. But, even then..."How do you know if there is “spirit” there or not?" edit. Oh, silly me. I forgot all about the black heart/white heart thing.

    Question: If God is not a respecter of persons, why would he give an inferior version of free will to natural man?

    But there's good news, too. Some of us has broken free from the constraints of the bam-booze-ler.

    Hey, Mike. If you're going, could you save me a WOWburger? They're just the best!

    Oh, cool! Are there any seats left for this week's SNS?

    I don't know if it's true, but I heard they're still stretching a pot of coffee that was originally brewed in 1972.

    Are they still required to laugh at jokes that were already stale 50 years ago?

    That's good to know. It means there shouldn't be any further need for the "launching pad" approach. You know, that stuff where it starts with things like, " Yea, my children, I am the Lord thy God." edit: Fear will hold you back. At least, that's what E. Stanley Jones said. "Fear is sand in the machinery of life.".....E. Stanley Jones

    So, it went from 36 hours to 19 hours. How does that work if the original was supposed to be divinely inspired? Isn't there something in Revelation about adding and subtracting words?
  20. waysider
    First you said it was a sort of spiritual launching pad and now you're saying it was to emphasis forgiveness. Which was it?
  21. waysider
    I challenge you to go back and find an instance where I said it was ALL bad. (Don't worry, I can wait.)

    So, then, what you are suggesting here is that it's okay to start with a falsehood because, clearly, you are stating you are God that is speaking when, in fact, you are not. Yeah, okay. That's some twisted mojo right there, bad chicken and all that
  23. waysider
    So, then, in essence, what you are describing really DOES have a spiritual component because you are making a distinction between spiritual and non-spiritual individuals. It reminds me of those election issues where no means yes and yes means no.

    It's like I'm binge-watching a Netflix series and the lead character is silently self reflecting, plotting to loosen the personal restraints and escape the asylum undetected. I feel like I should just quit watching., but it's already episode 12 and I just made a fresh batch of popcorn.

    I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
