No, no! You're supposed to really turn the screws on your daughter's boyfriend (when he comes to dinner) and offer him the privilege

Mormon no more: Tabernacle Choir renamed in big church shift

The well-known Mormon Tabernacle Choir was renamed Friday to strip out the word Mormon in a move showing the faith’s new president is serious about ending shorthand names for the religion that have been used for generations by church members and previously promoted by the church.

The gospel singing group will now be called the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said in a statement. It’s a nod to the home of the choir for the last 150 years, the Tabernacle, located on church grounds known as Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City.

That name change will last about as long as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.

I will never acknowledge any choir that does not accept Rambone as an archangel

So the red commies are behind the alter boys? Or are they behind the priests behind the alter boys?
Who's behind the red commies? The pope?

Are there any nuns in this scenario because that would be very confusing...

What I said was that the pre-WW11 soviet incursions were just a continuation.

Trump may well be going to hell. That is not for me to decide. What many people that write these sorts of things fail to realize is that the Bible is full of stories of how God used fallen, sinful people to accomplish his plans. David was an adulterer, Jesus is descended from him and prostitutes, so I'm not too worried about Trump. We Christians should be careful about "worshipping" him and realize what he is though.

Can't really think of a thread that this works best in... so I'll just pose the question here.

Pope: Safe drinking water is a human right, not merchandise

I think there's a lot of different factors to this. Location certainly comes into play.

Regarding the first part... I think there's probably a lot to agree with there. Water is something we all need. Are we expected to seek it out and find it on our own? Or should our government make it a priority to provide it for us? Obviously not so easy in other countries.

But then I try and apply this same thought to food... and it falls apart. We can't expect to get water for free if we can't expect the same with food... right?

Hm.

Anyway, his second part... there's nothing wrong with it being "merchandise". If people choose to spend extraneously for water they perceive as "better", then by all means.
