    Bad decisions your congregation made?

    The leadership structure, and a couple of people in particular within it, have been an abject failure. Sadly the people who aren't good for the church have managed to cement their position so it's all but impossible to get rid of them.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Got a bit of fiddly electrical work done. I'd used 14/2 cable to run a switch loop for the lights in the spaces that will be closets. Current code says light switches should have a neutral wire so they support smart switches and although it doesn't technically apply because what's there is...

    Small churches acting like bigger churches

    It does seem that churches have a depressing tendency to either resemble businesses or social clubs, and usually fail badly when they do. Outside activites don't necessarily have to be limited to Bible studies but when there are limited resources to host it makes more sense to do what the...

    Small churches acting like bigger churches

    This can be a tricky one. I think sometimes small churches can try and run all sorts of programs that they can't support, although if they run too few programs it's potentially more likely that they'll struggle to retain visitors. Small churches may suffer with problems relating to very small...

    USA Thoughts on Biden pardoning Hunter?

    Hard to say, and generally I prefer not to speculate on what people may or may not have done.

    USA Thoughts on Biden pardoning Hunter?

    It's possible that it's worded specifically to cover things that have yet to surface. It's also possible the wording is intended to shut down any attempts to throw mud in the hope some of it will stick.

    Prayer and God's Will - Why Do So Many Christians Misunderstand?

    Hm. I wonder why Jesus bothered to ask "take this cup from me". I wonder why Abraham bothered to ask God to spare Sodom and Gomorrah. Frankly your comments about "being honest with yourself" sound like they come from a cult leader rather than anything useful. But hey, keep blathering on about...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Home network upgrade. My laptop is a bit of a dinosaur but to replace it with something even comparable in specification would cost me well over $1000, and it still works just fine so I don't want to drop that kind of money. But it is a bit of a drag having slow internet on it - when it was new...

    Frozen embryos are people

    ... except that you offer other standards which are unrelated to brain function.

    Prayer and God's Will - Why Do So Many Christians Misunderstand?

    If this is true there's little point praying for anything because God will do what God will do regardless.

    Frozen embryos are people

    Now you're shifting the goalposts. Earlier you said that "life has ended when a life form can no longer stay alive without external assistance". The person on life support may have brain function but be unable to stay alive without the assistance of the machines. The point of the machines is to...

    Frozen embryos are people

    This is at least part way towards the idea of determining when life ends and when life begins, using some sense of balance. But then you go on to this... So a person on a life support machine is not alive?

    Frozen embryos are people

    Existence of a physical brain isn't a useful determinant, because dead people still have a physical brain. Presence of brain function is only marginally useful because people in a persistent vegetative state may have minimal brain function but are still human, and all sorts of creatures have...

    World population

    It's not even so much about siblings reproducing. If Adam and Eve had two sons then unless there were other women around from somewhere it means one of the sons reproduced with Eve. When Cain was sent away he found a wife, although who she was is unclear because until then there is no explicit...

    USA Police hunt for gunman after UnitedHealthcare CEO killed in New York City

    I'm not sure how this is even possible. I thought New York had very strict gun control laws.

    How much of a stickler are you at church...

    I'm not sure why they'd want to but I don't see any particular reason why they shouldn't. I don't think I'd have any interest in fighting it.

    How much of a stickler are you at church...

    I care about things that aren't theologically sound - I don't think they have a place in a church service at all. Beyond that I really couldn't care less about when (or whether) poinsettas are brought in, what order things happen, whether people sit or stand when singing etc. If Scripture is...

    True, but I can only imagine the howling from the Democrats if Donald Trump were to pardon Jared Kushner for something similar.

    USA Trump cites Hunter Biden pardon in latest legal attempt to throw out hush money conviction

    The Democrats seem to think that if one of theirs is prosecuted for something they did wrong it's because they are a high profile figure. Remember Hillary's classified documents, when she apparently thought (c) meant copyright rather than confidential? And she had some number of documents rated...
