Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises

So at sewing, they are going to be at odds with each other... Ministering to worldly people also becomes difficult, be...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises

True. I am just saying that to have a range of acceptable practices in a church, you need to have a church full of mature, principled people who don't love the world, nor the things of the world. A few examples: 1. On the conservative side, you might have folks who dress very distinctly but simply....

Re: Neither leisured foreigner ...

When I was learning to read, I learned the phrases "Neither foreign sovereign seized counterfeit forfeitted leisure" and "Either weird heifer [is] protein".

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

One of the themes in this thread is that it's the Ukrainians' fault that Russia invaded them them and that they should allow Russia to do whatever it wants since they are the most powerful country.

Re: The scent of desperation?
