The Official Status Update Thread: Part 154 - Check It Out

[Expat]

Our church closed a couple years ago and we have been unable to find a church that we liked so far...

I used to go to the Methodist church, but their latest Pastor is very anti-2nd and I just don't want to hear his opinions about it every week...

Well, that would be a toughie. I know my denomination is anti, but my pastor takes the position that there are somethings a denomination shouldn't take a position on and guns is one of them.

 

[Expat]

At least that is what he told me.. probably to shut me up from complaining.

 

[Expat]

But he is from Texas or Oklahoma so....

Although I know I should go, I have never needed a church to express my thanks.

I don't need the church for that either but it is my outlet to help others both in ministry as well as in a more visible things like the food pantry.

I understand completely.

Father knows I carry and I am not the only one, several of us spread through out the congregation. Not often talked about gut we know who does and what we hope would happen in case of an incident like an active shooter.

Sad times that we even have to consider these things.
Just sad.

Not saying 451 should go. Always obey the wife....

This guy is from South Bend.....I got tired of it and changed churches 5-6 years ago. The church we moved to lost it's Pastor and closed a couple years ago.

There is a non-denominational church we will attend once a month or so, but it doesn't feel like home....We should probably check out the churches in Greensburg, the closest town to Batesville...

Yep, but you have to be realistic. Churches will eventually be a target for the Jihad....It's just too attractive of a target. Any church that doesn't have a reaction plan has their head up their a**

I know. I would like to think we as a society have progressed past this madness.

Many have.

Many have gone backwards or so it seems.

Reality is just too harsh for some people to deal with. So, they live in a modified reality that makes them more comfortable. I believe it is a mental health issue but I am not a doctor.

Same with schools...I have given many school administrators copies of Terror at Beslan

 

[451_Detonics]

[churchmouse]

No.....off into the big scary for a bit.

The ****ing puppy was just sprinting laps through the house and managed to knock over the litter box. He's completely crazy this morning.

i think somehow the hour of sleep we each lost were all given to him.
