Seriously???
Don't worry. It won't be long before the rest of us aren't holy enough and sandal dust will be shaken in our general direction. Hopefully this happens sooner rather than later.

Re: Price of beef

It’s been a while since I bought beef. I bought half a steer from my neighbor. Hanging weight was 554 pounds for half. $1 per pound for the butcher and $3 for the farmer. $2,216 for half a beef. Insane. I’m not complaining, it’s just ridiculous how high beef is. How do they figure hanging weight? Y...

Re: Canada "emergency use": democratic or not?

Ok. I was wrong. The Prime Minister has 7 days after invoking it to present a motion to confirm it. It is in effect for 30 days unless extended, or unless voted down in either the House of Commons or the Senate. I believe this to be accurate. Is it Democratic? Certainly there is a wide variety of o...

It appears the judge “wiped the smiles right off” Ms Freeland’s face. (Ironic name she has, eh?)
The ruling is expected to be appealed.
She's always displeased. I don't think she smiles.

Re: Cons. Anabaptist ordination practices

Are we ordaining only ladies with cappes now? Seems if God was worried how we covered or how we ordained He'd have spelled it out clearly. Also, if He wouldn't require something of a lady that was darn near impossible to do without years of practice in fabrication and design. Also, if it wasn't the ...
