    Is the chat room still in beta testing?

    Well it was... For a while... Currently if you try to connect it looks like you are in a chat room, but nobody else is there. But multiple people can be trying to connect at once and nobody can see each other. So you're not really in a chat room.

    Does the church ignore single Christians? Where are we supposed to go?!?

    Howdy wolf and welcome to the forum. That doesn't sound like my church at all, but I'm sorry there is a church like that. I'd try a different church. For me, when they preach/teach about family, it's not painful really. It's just boring. I can understand why such is needed, but for me...

    Coat Pocket Homilies

    Yeah. After the initial premise I was expecting something more like a Reader's Digest Condensed Books version. GONE WITH THE WIND Scarlet was a pampered pet She wanted all that she could get The thing she couldn't get was Rhett The End! WAR AND PEACE Napoleon did not beware He tried to fight...

    When Your Religion or Faith Triggers You

    Were you here before, under another nickname? I remember one guy who was always talking about having trouble with scrupulosity. Haven't seen him around lately, so I'm wondering if you are he.

    Movies and TV shows to avoid

    First, howdy and welcome to the forum. If you want guidelines and principles, that is easy. If it propounds things that are wrong, don't watch it. If you want a list... That's a bit more problematic. There are a LOT of shows these days. Lots and lots and lots and lots. On the matter of...

    Do You Have To Confess Sin?

    Yeah. Even after God told David "Bathsheba's baby will not live, because if he survived the enemies of the Lord would use it as a great opportunity to blaspheme" David still fasted and prayed. As David said, who knows if God may let him live after all?

    name at least one thing you like about another user

    What a coincidence. I have a similar theory about @cinder that she camps on the forum and hits refresh over and over, just so she can find a new thread before I notice it, so she can say what I would have said if I had got there first. Although... I have noticed she doesn't steal my thunder...

    Newfangled Junk!

    Depends on perspective. At my job I have been told, to my face, by a 17 year old boy, "I'd punch you out if you wasn't an old man." (They don't teach a lot of grammar these days, it seems.) But our piano player at church is in her early 70s (but can still play better than anybody else) and says...

    We must plant the seeds time is short

    Yup. You have no idea how many times I bite my tongue and close my keyboard for just this reason.

    Opinions and advice needed!

    That's normal. They usually grow out of it after a while. Hurts like crazy until they do though. A friend was telling me just yesterday that back when he was a kid his older brother was going to the movies with a girl, and he asked momma to drop him off a little ways out and he would walk the...

    "I Want/Got ________________, And Now I Am Blaming __________!" (How to Mischievously Blame Others for Our Own Bad Choices!)

    Pfft! I know it will be Winston doing the stoning. I have no fear on two accounts. One, his throwing wing is weak. Two, his accuracy is abysmal. If he is throwing at me, I am the only thing that IS safe.

    "I Want/Got ________________, And Now I Am Blaming __________!" (How to Mischievously Blame Others for Our Own Bad Choices!)

    Naught do I care for that. For yea, have I just consumed forthwith a red velvet cake donut and a chocolate cake donut with chocolate icing. Therefore be I content, and immune to thy slings and arrows of outrageous accusations.

    If We Started a Singles Group, Which Volunteer Committee Would YOU Sign Up For?

    It's all the truth. I saw it go down. Mostly in Skype. A bit on this very forum. WhatsApp seems nice... But we have a much smaller, much more chill group now.

    If We Started a Singles Group, Which Volunteer Committee Would YOU Sign Up For?

    Excellent! I'll be the thief who gives you something to worry about. It's kind of a synergy thing, y'see. If we were a DnD team you would be the ranger, searching the doorway for traps, and I would be the chaotic neutral, trapping the door for searches. DM: Sigh... Okay, Rod roll a perception...

    Longing

    According to a comedian I heard one time, it's all about getting older and realizing what you want to spend your time on. I don't remember the exact wording he used, but he related how his mother and father came to visit and dad set his hat down in a chair, and they talked for a while, then...

    If We Started a Singles Group, Which Volunteer Committee Would YOU Sign Up For?

    A lot of times you won't hear about it. Not because people are trying to cover anything up, but because there is no profit in gossip. If something like that happened to ME, and if the situation had been resolved and was in the past, I wouldn't go around talking about it. No reason to. Mind...

    Heh. Talking about that... Last night at the auction house I took a look at a guy's laptop. It had been subverted by a scammer who had locked the computer, installed TWO remote desktop apps so he could do stuff on that computer from far away, and a few other things. (I wound up killing the bugs...

    God's own walk this way- Paul Washer

    I can certainly see how such a message is popular with a certain audience. It's a GOOD thing that you don't want to go to church. That actually means you're closer to God than those vain, vapid people that do go to church. You're much holier than they are. Ironic that in Jesus' day the...

    Yeah... But even that can run into problems. If the perp DID pay, and paid just so they could do that stuff in private messages... You have to bring yourself to ban the goose that pays the golden egg.
