It's happened to me once, but I didn't find them to be particularly pushy when I told them I was already going to a church I was happy with.

In all seriousness, I have to ask, is "older" always "better"? While there's a lot to be said for tradition, I do think there's also room for people to progress in their understanding of the world. Science goes through such changes as we discover new things (example: going from Newtonian to...

I moved away from San Antonio awhile back, but when I was there, they had a Target in Universal City/Selma. And Y, I would think either the Federal Trade Commission or the Better Business Bureau. (Is that under the FTC or separate?)

While I don't agree with your slurs against all Republicans, I DO agree with making sure everybody plays fair. I as a Republican am more comfortable with a candidate winning a fair fight than one who wins through gerrymandering.

It would help to know if this person is actually done with their cut-and-paste yet, or not.

Right, that's illegal for a store to be using an SSN just for a discount like that. It would be good to find out if they asked anybody else you know for it, so they can't just blame it on one rogue employee if you bring it up.

The ruling suggests that DeLay drew congressional districts in Texas in a way that would be advantageous to the Republicans. That's what the Court is overturning.

Each language seems to have its high points and its drawbacks, though. Having studied other languages, including Spanish and German, in comparison English seems to suck the life out of anything you talk about. It seems like a very "dry" language in comparison, more suited to a science journal...

You're brave! I don't think I'd survive my first Alaskan winter. ;) I just hope you won't be expecting a perfect paradise, though...sadly, every place has its problems. :(

Indeed, I've heard of people taking those kinds of courses to reduce garden-variety regional accents, like a Southern accent or a Brooklyn accent or whatever. Even in a general presentation-skills course that will often be a part of it. I had a professor who nagged me for saying "cuz" like I...

Even when it's a hearing child and a hearing parent, he or she will accidentally do things to hurt that child. I consider my relationship with my parents to be extremely healthy, but I can't honestly say it was free of hurtful things. Please don't allege that it's only hearing parents with...

I've looked at some of those articles and unless I'm missing it, I didn't see anything that addressed unfair assumptions made against those who are hearing, or who were born hearing and only became dhh later in life. It seems to me that ANY judgment against a person for things not of the...

On this, I think that some (myself included) would suspect that the Psalmist had a vision of some sort that worked its way into the Psalm. One particular instance where I believe such a thing happened in the Old Testament is one that I think can be seen quite readily. This particular one has...

With all due respect, 15 years is a long time. There are things I read months ago that I'd probably fail a memory recall test on, if you were to quiz me on them. This is one reason that when I post scriptures, most of the time unless something is very clearcut, I'll post an entire chapter...

As well she should. Too bad you couldn't have snapped a pic of her face with your cell phone.

I can understand how it looks unusual for someone who is not a Christian. Mary herself did a double-take when the idea was first proposed to her. But a God capable of guiding a whole universe from singularity, or to cause an earthquake that both backs up the river Jordan AND weakens Jericho's...

No problem.

I recall seeing this about one's status as a Jew; that explains Ruth. Off-topic for a second: is "Kohen" synonymous to the term I see in my translation of the Bible, of "Kohathite"? They were the ark-bearers, if I remember properly...it's been several months since I read that book. I...

Throwstones: to put it bluntly, I trust God. I do not trust humanity. BTW, Teresh--sorry about the gender-bending in my post above. I forgot and by the time I realized it, I'd lost the ability to edit that post! :(

I'm afraid I can't accept that as evidence, as it's your word against his and thus neither of you can prove which way it happened. Only a public statement counts.
