  1. Past hour
  2. Sorry to be the one to tell you this but there is no hell.
  3. I personally feel that there are very few if any churches out there that aren't doing something wrong, whether that be doctrinal, or attitudinal. The best advice I would give anyone is to go back to the source as much as possible. For me as a Christian, that would be the New Testament first century church, and the example that is provided in those books. Do what they did, don't do what they didn't do, and focus on living a biblical mindset every day. If you find that the denomination you are currently attending strays too far away from that example for your comfort level after learning things for yourself, maybe it's time to shop for a new flavor.
  4. I’m sure the usual suspects will be along soon to gripe about this thread getting cloaky right?
  5. In my particular connection to a little girl who drowned at Mystic on Friday morning, this is true. I was surprised to learn that nugget from my wife on Friday night when I mentioned that Dan Patrick (shiver) might be reaching out to them directly. (Long story.) Some Surly-ite who is down there should do a drive by and see if that cocksmoker's house was flooded or not.
  6. This aged well. https://www.lcra.org/download/lake-travis-projections/?wpdmdl=9373 Lake is up another 1.5' in the last 24 hours.
  7. I've been around truckers all my life. Believe me when I say that is absolutely the best about 5% of them can do. Waiting on that small group to back up to the dock at your warehouse can be quite comical. Most drivers can back straight into a dock on their first try. Or second.
  8. Breaks over Grandma, time to go earn that SSDI check, ya lazy fucking hag
  9. One is context and factual one is opining based on some bullshit and doesn't need to be in the thread. They can be similar and one can be framed to provide context instead of be an opinion.
  10. Hi Pato, Full disclosure. Blind Faith has been a ministry for us for around 2 years. We mainly have been helping Kerr County residents with food/assistance. Then the river tsunami happened. My friend Tim is an Ingram resident that used to own Nature Blinds, which manufactured hunting blinds. Tim’s wife Sandy passed away 6 years ago and he sold the business. His heart is helping people and he started Blind Faith. Our main funding has been through James Avery Foundation and local churches. We have some infrastructure-two warehouses for storing food, supplies etc. And we have a pretty rudimentary website. Pretty bare bones. But we have big hearts and desire to assist others in our community. Are we like Red Cross-hell no. Do we have shiny offices and high paid fundraising. Nope. I still work full time, so this is a ministry for me personally. We are not associated with any church or group and our plan is to stay independent from any church. All of our team attend the same church in Ingram. We would appreciate any donation that you can give. It will 100 percent go to those who need it. Thank you.
  11. Resident: Are you accountable to anyone for how you spend it? Or is it a, kind of, a reward and shows your support for this particular program? It's not free money. Being present as we talk. How do we know this? Immediately. Unless you want it on the COVID lies and vaccination pressure, you have to send it back. Those are heavy strings. And those are strings. The deep state harangue and vilified President Trump for calling COVID for what it was and then suggest responses that were non-draconian, and then when Biden took office, the leftist government took its gloves off. It has lied and lied more about this COVID -- about COVID. The temptation is great, you're accountable, and we would like to know where your allegiance is. Resident 2: And I'm here to ask this Court today to send this money back to the Biden administration, which I consider to be the most criminal treasonous communist government ever to holdthe White House. And Kerr County should not beaccepting anything from these people. They'recurrently facilitating an invasion of our border, and we're going to support these people? So that's what I have to say. Thank you. Resident: I happen to know that there is no such thing as free money. It's never government-funded; it's tax-payer funded. So they're takingour money and they're putting strings attached to it and then they're giving it back to us. And they're going to get their foot in the door in this county. We don't want their money. I feel like the people have spoken and I stand with the people. Thank you for your time.
  12. That's what this thread is for, not that thread. How many mental gymnastics are you gonna do when the rule is clear?
  13. Don't we all. Seems there's not, though.
  14. at a national/federal level this dichotomy allows dembiden vilification and so be it... but in Texas, where republicans control 100% of the government and have for 3 decades, the 2 categories are exactly the same thing i feel like HAL in 2001 +++ cnn just aired a NEWS CONFERENCE from kerrville where the kerr county sheriff said he didn't find out about the flood until 911 calls started coming between 4-5am, and when pressed said he can't give a timeliine and right now his only purpose is recovery and remains etc. this was followed with a vacationer interviewed who said he didn't receive any advanced warning but at 245am the water was getting in to the house he was staying in
  15. If there's a next time I'll have to remember to order it without mayo. However, the bun seemed under-baked and I'm not a fan of shredded lettuce on a burger. Also the cheese needed a lot more melt. InnOut's about 25 minutes from my house but I think I'd go there before hitting Culver's again even though it's 5 minutes away.
  16. There's literally a big ass mental institution right in the middle of town.
  17. A person rich and largely untouchable grows accustomed to getting what they want. They have the freedom to choose their moral code. For women, you can easily attract the Melanias of the world. Maybe she once loved Trump because she was swept away by the lifestyle. Maybe it was all business from the beginning. It doesn't much matter because there is another younger woman that will step up to replace you. So, you think, women beginning their 20s are fantastic. So fresh and taut. I bet somebody in their teens would be sublime. Then, if you're used to the world going your way, you can easily brush aside stupid laws and phony morals. Everybody wants it, only some of us can get it. Look at history. Look at the Ozarks. 15 year old brides. You cross the line. You get to own a beautiful girl for a few days. She's having a great time. I bet she'll like the rough stuff. She's getting paid. I'll just add a little to the fee. Fuck it! I'm a royal prince. No harm. No foul. See, that piece of meat was crazy anyway.
  18. That's coach Sark in the middle.
  19. Once done resting, I rewrap the existing foil, wrap again over that with new foil, then put it in an insulated bag. Then into a prepped cooler, topped with towels. Very little, if any, mess.
  20. too soon dawg...too soon
  21. Yeah, previously would wrap brisket in towel and then place in cooler. Honestly though even placing towels in top would seem to get them smelling like bbq to the point my wife would probably complain when doing laundry. I think every self respecting Texan has the same dark blue or dark green towel that sits in the garage only to be used for holding bbq lol. The thing pictured above makes transporting super easy though. Way easier to carry that around than a cooler, especially if I’m bringing bbq to the office for a potluck or something.
  22. That letter is distinctly Trumpian in using capitals for emphasis and overuse of superlatives.
  23. @SydneyCarton Yeah, and still rising too.
  24. The bold is where it falls apart for me and I think has it backward. You say that it makes sense if you are a believer, but the question in my mind is what objective basis is there to believe this particular version of religion? Most religious people abide by the religion they were born into and learned from birth. Where it really started to fall apart for me was the question as to why I was supposed to believe that Catholicism was correct and everyone else was wrong, especially when it comes to the billions of people who were raised non Christian like Judaism and Islam, and even moreso for non Abrahamic religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. There is simply no rational basis to believe that one is correct over another. I have since leaned more into religious study as a historical issue, including its role in shaping society and culture, and am convinced it has done more harm than good overall. In today's America, it's not even close considering how many religious people are full of hatred and vitriol for fellow humans which is the complete opposite of how I learned the teachings of Jesus which objectively, on the whole, is pretty good, love they neighbor, welcome the stranger, turn the other cheek, etc., etc.
