    "Reverend" as a title

    Many refuse 'Rev.,' but have cards and answer their phone with, "Brother ___ ___; how may I help you?" That's just substituting one title for another, as all are brothers, but we don't all identify ourselves that way, like "Brother Bob Smith's Ready Made Concrete." How's that?

    "Reverend" as a title

    What's the difference between getting your knickers in a twist and something grating on your nerves? Anyway, Dr. is also a title [adjective], but often people address a doctor that way. I don't address anybody with a title live Rev., but my mom, in her long working life as a service rep with...

    After Sandy Hook we said never again and then we let 1,686 mass shootings happen

    It ain't OK for anybody to lie, unless you mean to stretch out in a horizontal position. On second thought... there's Rahab, who made the Hall of Faith by lying (either definition).

    After Sandy Hook we said never again and then we let 1,686 mass shootings happen

    As every politician lies to get votes, that is no point.

    After Sandy Hook we said never again and then we let 1,686 mass shootings happen

    If Archie had been a Texas cotton farmer, he and my dad would have been virtually identical... except for one thing-- my dad was a lifelong Democrat, and even in his latter years in the 80's it was still South/Democrats and North/Republicans to him. But in '84, watching campaign news on...

    After Sandy Hook we said never again and then we let 1,686 mass shootings happen

    But he was ahead of his time in this episode. His son -n-law, the Meathead, claimed the 2nd Amendment did not protect the individual's right to own guns. That right has now been officially declared to be the case by the Supreme Court.

    If you don't have a sword, sell our garment and buy one.

    Do you balance your checkbook

    Not any more I don't. When I had to get a new computer last August I tried to install the MS Money Software I had used for years. I did install it, but the flash drive's data would not come up after many attempts. I decided that, since I write few checks any more, and have automatic payroll...

    After Sandy Hook we said never again and then we let 1,686 mass shootings happen Yep. We sure do need to shave that number, don't we? LOL that ain't my claim; it's the title of this thread, and thus FollowTheWay's claim.

    Ministers' Housing Allowance

    As I said, put some math to work, and use extremum to optimize... not that I mean I'm advocating this, but it could be done... Gross + (Gross x FICA rate) + [(Gross x FICA rate) x 0.20] => Net Previous

    Ministers' Housing Allowance

    I just looked at that link, and thus it appears. But I specifically remember the church I was in 30+ years ago, the Chairman of Deacons said in a business meeting that the church had voted "to pay the pastor's Social Security." I think I recall that being the case with the next church I was in...

    Ministers' Housing Allowance

    I remember, many years ago now, there was a radio preacher named J. Vernon McGee, who I think had been a Presbyterian minister, and spoke with a hard accent. Once I heard him speaking about the "manse," which churches furnished to the pastor. He was going on about how the value of this manse...

    Ministers' Housing Allowance

    How is that true if they can take a housing allowance that 'everyone else' can not? And then there is the car allowance, which I remember 20 or more years ago in average size church (about 220 weekly attendance) I was in, the pastor got $10,400 for that. It was obvious he, and inherently many...
