Re: DarthJ is a prophet
I'm shocked the general conferences are still like 10+ hours over two days. Shocking this hasn't been cut in half.

Re: Hurtful Language You May Not know.
The way I heard "Jew" used was always (multiple times as recently as the 2010s in rural KY) along the lines of " he really tried to Jew me up/down on the price [of an object/business deal]" clearly indicating greediness of the opposing person. Often times aimed at Amish/Mennonite farmers so a sligh...

Re: Hurtful Language You May Not know.
What? When did that happen? Not in my day. To Jew someone down was seen as being adept at doing business. Who the heck turned it into something deceptive? :shock: Are you sure you've got that right? That wasn't my own experience. Where does that come from? The way I heard "Jew" used was always (mul...

They think the numbers are bad now wait 20 years for all these Boomer matriarchs and patriarchs that are holding extended families of church goers together die and their kids and grand kids peace out on religion.

Mitt Romney not running for Senate in 2024
Perhaps Off Topic but Utah Senator Mitt Romney announced today he's not running in 2024. I suspect he won't be the last of the GOP moderates to leave during the 2024-28 Senate cycle. If you want a great read the Atlantic has a piece out (preview to a full biography) about Romney's time in the Senate...

Re: Trump, Biden, RFKjr, and Beyond
I think Biden beats Trump in 2024 by a slight margin again and in 2028 some GOP candidate beats Kamala due to political winds just changing (guessing by 2028 Trump's diet of Big Macs and legal problems will finally catch up with him and some moderate GOP governor breaks through). By 2032 the whole g...

Re: Go home, Mitch
I think everyone should want Mitch to hang around until at least the 2024 elections. He's a terrible no good very bad man but he's not going to actively try to overthrow the government and until Trump is beaten again he's better as an institutionalist than a GOP Senate led by Rick Scott or someone w...

Re: Nuance Hoe claims missionaries now using bait-and-switch "we're Christian" tactics
Ideas 1-3 seem like things that will definitely be happening within 20-30 years lest the church become a million member church sitting on a trillion in assets. The problem is that young people are rejecting Christianity in general for homophobia and misogyny and any other reason from the secular pla...

Re: Joe Biden, Derilict Border Fentanyl Traitor
A drug problem has always existed in this country going all the way back to whiskey distilling. The drugs have just gotten better and more deadly. Most drugs are entering through legal ports of entry, it's easier and safer to ship drugs hidden in the 50 million tons of cargo the US imports each year...
