    Who are these people in this old bible with real gold trim and clasp

    You only put up one page, but I suspect this may be a hymnal as opposed to a Bible. The page you put up, I googled: Behold the glories of the Lamb It appears to be a hymn, and the scriptural references I would assume were to point to which passages the hymn is based upon:

    Should President Trump be Impeached?

    FWIW I just googled it and there seem to be two definitions....one is of the usual army of bureaucrats that infest all levels of government, the other definition suggests something like the Illuminati (think Dan Brown's DaVinci Code) type operatives and agents.

    Should President Trump be Impeached?

    Can you help me out? I've heard this term 'deep state' many times but I don't really know what it means.

    Should President Trump be Impeached?

    For what its worth I think it is reasonable to question whether some of Trump's decisions are in the interest of the United States, or if they're more designed to benefit Trump's business. A case in point would be his dealings with Turkey, withdrawing troops from Syria and letting the Kurds...

    Should President Trump be Impeached?

    I grew up in the US, spending most of my life in NYC, NJ and OR until the age of 12. I'm Canadian born though, we moved to NYC less than a year after I was born and later when my Dad was making enough money to afford it, we moved to Bergen County NJ (north Jersey, the nice part, Richard Nixon...

    Should President Trump be Impeached?

    In 2016 I didn't predict Trump winning....but at the same time I did think it was distinctly possible. Many of my left leaning friends thought I was crazy, now they're asking me what I think this time around. I'm reserving judgement until I see how things play out, the Dems don't even have a...

    Should President Trump be Impeached?

    I get it and I agree.... Clinton deserved to be impeached, and convicted in the Senate resulting in removal from office. Those who like Clinton though will forgive anything illegal he did, its the partisan game. Initially I thought (the opinion of a Canadian fwiw) impeachment was warranted...

    Should President Trump be Impeached?

    We all have bias, what gets under my skin is the duplicity of pointing at a politician one doesn't like for lying, while saying "but its okay" when its a politician someone supports.

    Should President Trump be Impeached?

    If politicians were removed from office for lying Washington, Ottawa and every other democratic government would have to be shut down.

    Andrew Scheer steps down as Canada's Conservative leader - Is Harper coming back?

    My brother actually met Scheer in a shopping mall food court west of Toronto, and said he's a really nice guy in person. My bro and I shared the view that Scheer never seemed completely comfortable in front of the camera, that's not a criticism...simply an observation, a personal impression...

    Strictly Over 50s Thread

    You're one up on me....the best I could manage was to get one side being one colour....this conversation keeps bringing up memories of old tv episodes, here's one on the rubik's cube:

    Strictly Over 50s Thread

    Given that this is the 50 something thread, there's a great song that was on country radio some years back....checked it out for the first time on youtube, I'd never seen the video. So many touchpoints from the 70s and 80s:

    Facing Death

    Back when I was 19 turning 20 I took a summer long French Immersion course, and part of it required that we write a poem...it had to start with the subjunctive tense...It is required that, I must or I have to....it is neccessary, I want that... Anyway this is the poem I wrote. Je veux que ma...

    Strictly Over 50s Thread

    in 1977 I was 11....in grade 6. The big thing my friends and I did was bike to the local mall and bum around most of the day. We'd buy day old donuts, then hit up the recruitment centres and come home with loads of army/navy/af/marine posters and stuff for our rooms. Even though Charlie's...

    Jesus Teaches Nicodemus ( John:3 )

    I love your thoughts and the reasonableness of your tone DB7. Like you I don't believe I have ever met a professed Christian who has undergone a supernatural transformation. However I do believe I have met some who themselves believe that they have been supernaturally transformed...and that...

    Andrew Scheer steps down as Canada's Conservative leader - Is Harper coming back?

    Getting back to the subject line of this thread, and the reason I started it before things got side tracked. I've seen one article that supports my musings that Stephen Harper might just be making a comeback, or at least attempting one. Here's the link if anyone is interested...

    Andrew Scheer steps down as Canada's Conservative leader - Is Harper coming back?

    Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour, however will I 'make the cut' for lack of a better term? I don't get to decide that, nor does anyone here on Earth. Given how much my opinions seem to cause you to vent with bile and anger using the ignore feature is likely a wise course. Be blessed.

    Andrew Scheer steps down as Canada's Conservative leader - Is Harper coming back?

    ??? Why all the anger??? I'm not a millennial, so maybe I'm not used to all the self righteous snow flakeyness of the world these days. I have a lot of pride in my country and serve it in uniform, however I don't view patriotism as a competition. I have not laughed at the US elections, I...

    Andrew Scheer steps down as Canada's Conservative leader - Is Harper coming back?

    I lack your total certainty about everything, I guess I am a horrible human being.....oh to have all the answers and be all knowing and all wise. Maybe some day I'll get there....but hopefully not, at least not on this side of the veil.

    Andrew Scheer steps down as Canada's Conservative leader - Is Harper coming back?

    Sorry, I'm getting my threads confused.....on a Trump thread I changed my opinion on impeachment for basically this reason....Trump, Biden...in this respect there's not much difference between the two, both Dems and Republicans will do whatever it takes to win and to protect their own....
