There would be no criminal justice if we must be absolutely positive with 0% possibility of error a suspect is guilty before any sentence is pronounced.

Alright, should that be taken into consideration or not when a finance committee, or the church at large, is determining ministerial compensation? Like a free haircut each month-- reduce by $128 for a year; assume 2 free meals at Cici's per week-- reduce by $530....? I don't know how you were...

A person's vote here is not public-- at least now to me, now. Was that somehow changed?

Only the men sing the ending? ...... oh, I get it.

There is a thread in this section going about this topic, but it is without a poll. Which of these does your church use projections for? Check all that apply.

Assuming this is true, I don't think it's right. Paul made a point to the Corinthians that he (and those with him) did not accept food from anyone unless he bought it. I've written before that I don't much of 'perks' for being on a ministerial staff, such as free or discounted travel from...

It seems like a decade or longer since we used the hymnals in a worship service, except for a handful of Wednesday night services that were in the chapel instead of the main auditorium (I can very seldom go on Wednesday, but I know that is usually in the big room, too). As for Bibles, we have...

Yes; if I were accused of a capital crime, I would prefer the death penalty; in fact, so much that if the cops had the goods on me for it (guilty or not) I would draw my gun if I were carrying one, or would hide a hand and make that sudden move with it. "It beats a rope," as I've heard the line...

Wasn't that done long ago in the sense of replacing the songs in the Bible with hymn books full of 'new' songs?

I said "No," but I have a hunch there actually are some robes somewhere around, but they are never worn by the choir; and only about half of services is there a choir and the other half an ensemble. This reminds me of the Andy Griffith Show episode in which Aunt Bee and the others in their...

To want to play and to give it their full efforts?

In the OP you ask which was one's favorite. Your poll asks "Which commercial made you want that product now?" They are not the same question, and for me, no answer on the poll is accurate, as I would say "None."

A fugitive from "continental drift?"

You answered your own question and justified your pathological need to fight at the same time.

Doesn't Europe talking about our politics violate the Monroe Doctrine? Let's go stomp them!

How did you get such a backward outlook? Syrip is good, but I can't stand butter.

Matthew 7:16 "You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 1 Corinthians 5:11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a...

He can't be called Captain Black because that's a pipe tobacco.

Ain't this all real sweet?

What? Is it past noon in the east and the president's golden touch of diplomacy hasn't brought the Israelis and Palestinians to a love feast and Ben Laden hasn't turned himself in?
