Re: Lent and Ash Wednesday
Ok, they did roofing. They openly talked about how they would coordinate their job schedule where possible to find the most publicly viewed job site (I.e. near a major highway or such) to demonstrate they were working on Good Friday. And deliberately would take lunch around 11 because they did not w...

Re: Tell us how you like your steak!

Re: Nonviolence?
The US civil rights movement demonstrates well the differences between non resistance and pacifism. Not passing judgment, just illustrating that the civil rights activists were non violent in their resistance, but they did resist.

Re: Lent and Ash Wednesday
It is amazingly mind boggling the running comments and absurd conclusions folks make about my simple non controversial statement.

I would never want to defend the house of Saud. But Dubai and Emirates might be the most value less, morally bankrupt place on earth. I do not like Iran. I think their leaders are wrong, but they are sincere.

Re: Lent and Ash Wednesday
I would say I can be confident it was on purpose because they said so. And then did it.

But converts are effectively ignored in council meetings in Eastern
