    Once Saved, Always Saved

    The idea that a change of mind means someone never believed what they once clearly believed really makes no sense at all. As you say, the "terror of conscience". When I was a child I believed in Father Christmas, as I suspect most children once did. As an adult I no longer believe in Father...

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

    I have a bucket containing a load of metal, most of which has at least some rust on it. But most of it is rusty nails rather than nice neat washers. How long does your battery last before you need to top something up? If you put three of those together and end up with 3V you've potentially got...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Sometimes I feel like I'm cold on the inside, regardless of what the temperature is like. For me often I find it's a strange thing - if my feet are cold then I feel cold, so keeping my feet off the floor can help. Curiously my legs very seldom get cold even if I'm outside in the snow. If my...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I don't know how relevant this is as a comparison, what I've sometimes found is that too many layers can be counterproductive, especially indoors - the same insulation that stops me cooling down also stops me warming up. If I struggle to get warm I sit with my back against a radiator, or lie...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Does adding extra layers not work? Serious question, I'm wondering if that's something that makes things difficult or totally unmanageable. I'm not one to run in the cold but several people I know have specific winter running outfits. I tend to either run indoors or wear enough layers to keep...

    Cold isn't a problem because you can always add layers. Cold and wet isn't much fun.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    A few days replacing running with walking, largely due to a stomach bug that's been doing the rounds. My watch has been suggesting a tempo workout for a while now and yesterday was the first day I felt that running was a good idea, let alone running at a somewhat faster pace than a baseline run...

    Forgetting so much of your bible studies

    It's a pretty natural situation that you forget some of what you learn, whatever the topic. Sometimes it comes back when prompted, sometimes you just have to go back over the material and read it again.

    Holiday traditions

    I wonder if I'm confusing it with something else, I thought lutefisk was made by soaking fish in caustic soda multiple times. It's been a while...

    Holiday traditions

    Is it relatively easy to make? A part of me regrets not at least trying it when I had the chance, I just don't know if I could make it the way the Norwegians do.

    Drug addiction

    I'm not entirely convinced that it's a disease but it's hard to see how addiction is a choice - it's a consequence of a choice or a succession of choices. Whatever someone is addicted to, presumably they freely chose to start using it even if their body now has a physiological need to continue...

    Holiday traditions

    I really wanted to try it but struggled with the smell of it, so never actually tasted it. Do you enjoy it or tolerate it for your husband's sake?

    Lutefisk? You mean the Norwegian dish?

    Discussion Forums

    It's good to get alternative viewpoints - if people express a viewpoint clearly and answer respectful questions sensibly I figure I can learn why people with other viewpoints think the way they do even if I don't agree with them. Hopefully they'll learn something from me too, even if they don't...

    Bibles

    Physical Bibles, well over a dozen. Some we've accumulated ourselves, others were inherited. I honestly have no idea the actual number. We should probably root them out and pass on the ones we'll never use to people who might use them. Digital Bibles, well over a dozen. It's good to be able to...

    Rules to have in place

    All of this, and address the arguments rather than using strawmen or any of the abundance of logical fallacies often used when people can't come up with anything better.

    “Stay out of marriage”

    I suspect the problem was more specifically inheritance tax rather than purely inheritance. The government seldom misses a chance to help itself to anything it can lay its hands on, while acting as if people wanting to keep what is theirs are somehow selfish. I can't help wondering if we...

    Discussion Forums

    In fairness when there are only a few people who join in the discussions they rapidly become repetitive. We get to a point where we know where people stand on most issues, so discussions end up going round in the same circles as the previous discussion.
