While I must admit that the spiritual portion of my life is one that is somewhat lacking and underdeveloped, I found this story from Truth Seeker Daily incredibly interesting, and its featured pastor refreshingly sincere, particularly for someone who had just been hired (at what is likely a very sizable compensation package) to lead one of these modern mega-churches of more than 10,000 members. While we are all responsible for our own spiritual nourishment, I must say that if more "men of the cloth" were like this gentleman, I'd be more likely to be in attendance somewhere on Sunday mornings. A simple demonstration of a basic Christian teaching that packed a major punch on his first day on the job. Well worth the read.

I have actually seen this story, although there are a few different versions of it. True or not, the message is unmistakable. I nominate this for Jewbaccas post of the year award. So sayith the Hooter!  On another note, if anyone ever feels an urge to go to church, but have no clue where you might fit in, may I suggest a UU.

As a rabid Presbyterian (lapsed), I enjoyed coming across this thread and you are both correct(ish), and the reverend in disguise should be the way the churches operate. Could you imagine an undercover force of moral reminders - for all faiths?

Happy Holidays!

Jewy is actually Irish Catholic, such as myself. from what I read in a forum post. It's hard being Catholic in The South, even to this day. All the Protestants down here think we're a blasphemous cult, basically.

Yassuh all o y'all be pagans, sho nuff.  Blasphemers wushupin saynts and such.  pure devil wushup.  Un married priests?  Child molesters and HEATHENS!   /default_tongue.png  /default_laugh.png

My wife is a recovering Catholic, (I did not convert) and one of the men I admired the most in this world was her dad, who defended me in that decision.  Old school Irish Catholic, we used to talk for hours about the deepest subjects.  He was amazing.  He told that whole clan:  "The man is not a hypocrite.  He has my blessing."  All dissenting factions went stone cold silent.  The Big A had spoken.

"And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their only reward."

​think that's Matthew...

A thought 2 consider: an amplified / study bible and read The Gospels of John 1st ( what I've been told / taught) also get a good RefereNce bible /dictionary that describes things. In our current day language .im a Born again Christian but, study and respect and enjoy learning more about all religions. My first suggestions are a great 1st start..... Just my humble opinion.

  1. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  2. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP
  3. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ClintEastwood make a post about it homie they’re gonna take down your message here cuz shout box isn’t really for talking shop just random shooting the shit exc but yeh just put your message in a post on the forum in the appropriate place and ppl will get at you! 👊 ✌️
  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  5. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  9. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  10. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  11. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  12. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  13. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  14. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  16. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
  17. R @ Royboy99: It’s all evident in memory recall, my emails, meetings, … people invest everything they have in a nootropic that provides this… desperately searching without success and it’s right there right under their nose (no pun) … stigmatized by society and outlawed.
  18. R @ Royboy99: Now I’m not foolish or delusional to think that it made Edison who he was … it just allowed him to Edison to Edison to a greater degree … and I see it doing that for me and others who use it as a productive tool and not a substance of abuse.. you can look at this data with the level of patents filed by Edison during that time … comparable to Barry bonds or McGuire breaking records while they were subtly enhanced
  19. R @ Royboy99: One could argue that we would not have motion pictures if it wasn’t for ❄️
  20. R @ Royboy99: I also take month long breaks and replace with Ritalin for receptor recovery
