Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

Nice writing Josh! Then there are many Moderate-Conservative churches who have standards, such as cape dresses and plain suits, but most of the members don't read or listen to much Anabaptist literature or podcasts. They listen to Evangelical podcasts, read Evangelical books, devour Evangelical poli...

Re: Do important people still sign checks?

I assume Trump counts as an important person. He does seem to still sign checks. That is obvious in what I quoted in the OP. Did you understand my question in the OP? Maybe I did not make it clear. I'm wondering how common it is for important people, including Presidents to sign "bundles of ch...
