"...nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb..." U.S. Constitution, Amendment V. Is the "same set of facts" not the "same offense?"

Some anti-death penalty arguments obviously don't apply here. No long expensive appeal process-- unless, and IMO it's too likely, that if local authorities won't charge the man, then somebody will try to charge him at the federal level for 'civil rights violations.' The recent death of Rodney...

Sure, I've used a pen to write on a cassette tape label.

How many white presidents has the National Baptist Convention had?

As old as it needs to be. Really.

Today's video, and the introduction by the guy doing this, was okay, I suppose. The divisive subject I am concerned about was only hinted at, both by DR and the mod by mentioning #13, which the mod said is one we will definitely include; as there are only going to be 6 or 7 weeks of this...

I ask this because, beginning tomorrow, the class I am in is going off our regular routine, to give the normal teacher a break, and having some guy come in to show videos from this DR and then ___ (I don't know). So I've tried to look up this guy and actually a lot can be found about him, but...

Can't say I do much for the "day of rest." To me it's just an off day. Usually I go with a group from church to eat out, then come home and watch sports, especially in football season. Yesterday I mowed the backyard after visiting another church's 6 p.m. service (my membership church does not...

The only time he had come to mind recently was when I had MeTV on and Hogan's Heros came on. I never liked that show and I change channels or turn the set off, but usually not before the intro where he is seen. My small town had a CPA who had been a POW in Germany, and he was known to be rather...

I don't know where he was born; I just know I did not witness it. And I don't know if the SC has legally defined the constitutional term "natural born citizen." But I would not recommend anyone keep chasing this thing and put yourself in with conspiracy theorists who say Johnson was behind...

Do we insist on having hostile discussions based on metaphors? That is what so many of these biblical concepts have to be. If God is light and in him is no darkness at all, then if we were talking physics, he could never be made out. You can see objects that are very bright, but if not for...

We got our revenge against bin Laden, and will probably have more revenge coming in the future. For that purpose, I will not answer No to the question.

A limited number of people in the ancient world actually saw fire flowing-- volcanic lava. It has been my conclusion that this is an origin of the "lake of fire" concept. What seems to clinch it is that sulphur and its compounds are a huge component of an eruption or any activity in which the...

Might that explain why those who wanted to live without clothes, without work, without washing or grooming, eating raw fruit from plants they didn't have to cultivate, were called hippies?

"Sunday School" is not a scriptural construct to begin with. ... No, but ain't air conditioning needed to balance the hot air from teachers, be they men or women? And does your church require women to keep silent, in the assembly [church] and in Sunday School?

"Sunday School" is not a scriptural construct to begin with. And there are so many biblcial precepts that we ignore as being irrelevant for our situation-- as in I Corinthians, Paul said 2 prophets should speak, 2 or 3 should speak in tongues with an interpreter, women should not speak at all...

Is acting a sin? Are the entire motion picture and live theater enterprises sin? Is community/amateur theater, and a dramatic presentation in church, sin? You can argue that, I suppose. Stabbing Caesar with a rubber sword and spilling fake blood; smacking a kiss on Sleeping Beauty's face...

What is Your Purpose in Coming to Baptist Board? To read it.

Yeah. And we even had to make our own hills.

We had to make our own cigar boxes. And our own cigars, too.
