BQ:  Who's going to miss this site more?  Christians, atheists, cultists, trolls, or other?

The Easter Bunny?  A fertility goddess?  Or did you join us in celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Totally unscientific random sample of mine.  Asked five men, five women.  Two men said they won't get a vaccination, one woman.  

BTW, I got my second Pfizer yesterday.

And was partaking a matter of one's own conscience since nobody could see each other?

I had lunch today with a first cousin who joined Jehovah's Witnesses back in the 1990s.  We talked for almost two hours with a matter of about 10 minutes regarding our respective faiths.  The subject came up because he knows I'm a Gideon.  He respects that, but declined my offer of a New Testament.  Both of us grew up in the same liberal denomination, and both of us left.  I left to become a born again Christian in 1971 while in college.  And in the mid-90s he was searching for a more relevant religion.  He joined Jehovah's Witnesses after studying with them for some months.  He agreed with me that God's name probably isn't Jehovah, but that it's important to recognize he has a personal name.  Which by being JW, he uses the Jehovah name.  

I, on the other hand, have long recognized Jehovah as being one of the names for God, but not the only possible one.  

Great time of catching up after many years living about 600 miles apart.  But I wonder how many JWs would agree with his statement?

After all, they don't believe in the deity of Christ either.

Of course you can worship in your own home if it unsafe to gather.  

But for me, I am SO looking forward to worshiping the risen Jesus this year.  Last year wasn't the same having to stay home and watch online.  I REALLY appreciate this Easter Sunday being able to eat the bread and drink the wine together.  Jesus death and resurrection.  Because of his death, we have victory over sin.  And because of his resurrection, we too have the promise of our own resurrection.  Hallelujah!

Our men's Bible Study this morning dealt with the Garasene man who had the demon called "Legion" because they were many.  The demons recognized Jesus and pleaded with him not to throw them in the bottomless pit before their time.  Was this because Jesus was in heaven when they rebelled with Satan and were cast out?

Those who condemn through legalism while actually refusing to love?

I always liked Larry.

Every US president gets a stamp issued in his honor.

Their rationale is from 1876 where former Secretary of War Belknap resigned after impeachment proceedings started but the Senate tried him anyway.  

Two points-President Trump had charges filed against him after he was officially on his way out.  And Belknap was acquitted in the Senate because 45% of sitting senators didn't believe they had authority to authority to try someone ALREADY OUT OF OFFICE!!!  Sound familiar?  45% of senators NOW still believe they don't have authority to try someone ALREADY OUT OF OFFICE.

Isn't that the REAL precedent?

Has only played nine games in the last three seasons (none in 2020). How long do you think he'll hang around the ballot?

Example:  I was baptized as an infant in a Lutheran church.  Church tradition taught that such a rite resulted in the guarantee of salvation for the infant.  But I can't even find any baby in the Bible being baptized?  Explain.

Oops!!!!  I shouldn't say fool, I should say "educate".
