    Apple / FBI Legal Battle

    The search warrant to examine the contents of the phone was never in question. The legality of the FBI to hack the phone was never in question. The court order to compel the product maker to hack their own product and thus introduce a vulnerability into their own product, was the point of...

    Apple / FBI Legal Battle

    SO - the latest is that the FBI, at the last minute, requested a motion to cancel the hearing on Tuesday; the judge approved the motion. The FBI says it's because they've been approached by a third party who says they can hack the phone. Mixed reactions. Some folks think this means Apple's won...

    Social Security?

    I don't think I said it before; praying for your situation. Thanks for the info!

    Social Security?

    If social security disability benefits are for "terminal" cases, should I be concerned that they're saying I qualify for them? <grin> My big question is about continuing some kind of employment; for example, adjunct teaching one or two courses at a local college would be around...

    Social Security?

    Anyone have the straight scoop on social security disability benefits? I was a little surprised this morning to find out my SS statement says I've earned enough credits for disability benefits. Not really ready to stop working yet, but curious....

    Your take on Megyn Kelly!?

    Her questions about remarks he's made towards women are not equivalent to "have you stopped beating your wife." Either he's referred to women as "bimbos," or he hasn't. And posting a re-tweet of someone calling Megyn Kelly a bimbo is just as bad as calling her a bimbo himself. Because of the...

    Your take on Megyn Kelly!?

    That's probably a better description than "bias." She's asked him some hard questions; he's shouting "bias" because he doesn't like them.

    Bad News for Trump

    That's because the American public apparently doesn't actually care about who we elect for office. We're more concerned with publicity and entertainment. Who we elect represents each of us, and what we think this country stands for. That should be cause for some careful thought.

    Your take on Megyn Kelly!?

    Her bias is real, and based on the way he treats her. So is his (towards her). And if he's made the remarks that have been attributed to him, then his bias towards women is unacceptable.

    Violent Churches

    Actually, I answered your question as well. Not all scientologists are prone to violence; so technically, there is no way to answer your question. You have to assume that *anyone* you write letters to could be mentally unhinged; and thus, the caution I posted to you in my initial response. Now...

    Encouraging a Calvinist Church to be more involved in evangelism

    Didn't say he may or may not; said don't be surprised if he does. Just trying to prepare you for possible outcomes. But the answer is definitely "no" until you ask.

    Holy Anger burns....

    It's possible he overlooked the ones you posted on the first page of this thread. Even if he didn't, I don't know that you wounded his pride. Maybe simply asking him which of the posts he was referring to would be more positive. I took his first response to you as being suggestive, not...

    Violent Churches

    That didn't answer the question.

    Violent Churches

    If you're afraid of putting yourself in danger, then why are you writing at all? There are just as many fanatics in evangelical and other churches as there are in the muslim religion. Remember that it's not just you. When you put a return address on a letter or envelope, that's the address...

    Encouraging a Calvinist Church to be more involved in evangelism

    Should you? Can't answer that. What should you say? That you want to start an outreach program. But don't be surprised if the senior pastor says something about being a member.

    The book Eve by Paul Young

    If that review is even only partly true, I find myself for the first time considering the possibility of book-burning....

    Sucker punched - vs - Knock out game: Is there a difference?

    SO -- because of what you said in post #4, what Rip posted in #3 is justifiable and acceptable, right?

    We lost no one in Libya

    The problem is , she didn't properly put them in context in the first place. Easy to take things out of context when you don't make sure people understand you were referencing all the years BEFORE we lost four Americans...and with that albatross hanging around her neck, you think she'd be more...

    Hiring a youth pastor

    Then why would you confuse people by saying he would have to conform, when it's pretty obvious he already does? This again begs the question of why you brought those points up about your church--unless you were just using the opportunity to complain about points you disagree with. ---------...
