I get confused about the worst posters - but my money is on Johnny Sack. Johnny Sack is Houston’s version of Rex in my mind. Not sure if he’s been banned or whatever but it fits his profile.

Not necessarily - I’m going to four services this week in Houston 😔

Do We Have a Christ Followers Thread?
Planet Houston replied to ernest_t_bass's topic in Daily Texan
Someone raised and baptized in the Christian faith questioning the reality of God isn’t within the scope of this thread? OK. That would be like a preacher refusing to talk about questions of God’s presence in a bible study. -

Or…no eternal being has his/her finger on the scale, and we have the ability to be good and moral people (while recognizing we all sin and nobody is perfect) without an invisible judge to decide whether we are good enough through “grace”. -

Planet Houston replied to ernest_t_bass's topic in Daily Texan
This is where I am. I was raised in the Episcopalian church which admittedly is more tolerant than many Christian sects, but I can’t abide by a view that “our interpretation is right, and all of you sinners are wrong.” It’s all made up mumbo jumbo that fits the narrative of those “witnessing” it and using it as an excuse to commit genocide. I’d love someone to give me a rational explanation of why this is wrong. -
Goddamn you’re such a traditional badass to insist on calling them the Indians. Very very cool.

I’ve been avoiding posting since trying to find information about my many friends’ little girls. There are posts on social media that name several girls that haven’t been in the news but I know are part of this tragedy. It looks like the number is 36 Mystic campers and counselors. Not to mention the countless others camping, in river cabins etc. This is going to affect so many families and communities for generations. 💔💔💔 As far as positive news, there are a bunch of La Junta counselors that are absolute heroes. Stories will come out. Miraculous that there weren’t fatalities there.

I’m sorry. Obviously a lot of emotion among a lot of us affected (and frankly forgot who was posting - my sincere apologies @BlackCat). We were with a couple last night in Lakeway that were also blessed to pick up their son from La Junta and daughter from Mystic. I don’t mean to be callous and I really have stayed away from the blame game until this lash-out response. But my general feeling is there was much more the camps could have done to avoid this sort of tragedy. I’ll go back to avoiding the Monday morning QBing, I’m sorry

Bullshit

Sad but true - it’s actually four, not three. Two of the girls were confirmed deceased in the last couple of hours, and two still missing with little hope. I don’t even know what to do and I feel guilty being so happy that we picked up my kids safe from CLH today. Beyond heartbreaking and going to affect so many for generations. 💔

I have a sinking feeling I will be attending 3 funerals in the coming weeks for girls going into 3rd or 4th grade. None of the “confirmed” names yet, but no news is bad news right now. It’s gut wrenching. This post allegedly came from the family, so I give it a pass. But a lot of those names and missing pictures with phone numbers were not from the families. Just an awful situation all the way around.

I am friends with 3 couples whose daughters are still missing. If anyone hears any names of the girls recently rescued, please DM me. Thanks.
