There's a fungus among us.

Somebody please tell me that this commentator doesn't know what he is talking about. America may see actual gasoline shortages by July 4 — and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is running out "When the Strategic Petroleum Reserve runs out of oil, setting aside the painful price at the pump for...

Latest poll of views of American Jewish voters: "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's favorability is at its lowest level since 2009, with 67 percent of Jewish voters holding unfavorable views compared to 28 percent viewing him favorably. . . . As for the war on Iran, 62 percent of voters oppose...

Copilot search on current state of lawsuit by Nanette Miles: Nanette Miles’ Lawsuit Against David Hyles and First Baptist Church of Hammond Nanette Miles, a former parishioner, filed a class action civil lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in 2020 against...

I have been in a number of church situations where I found myself being relentlessly hounded, harassed and hazed by pastors and sometimes prominent members, over issues for which I felt there was no scriptural basis, and that it would be impossible to resolve everything to everyone's...

Much has been written about the death of Joseph Smith. Those who are interested can read "No Man Knows My History" by Fawn Brodie, or check out this web site: https://mrm.org/death-of-joseph-smith Here are the pistols that Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum used to fight off the mob - they...

I have been to the Carthage Jail, which is now owned by the Moron church (LDS, not RLDS). The bullet holes from the 1844 gunfight are still visible. Yes, someone had smuggled in a gun so Joseph's friends were shooting back, but it was a bit of an unequal fight - 4 versus 150. My understanding...

The first two bombing attacks on Iran didn't seem to accomplish anything positive for us or for Bibi, but our fearless leaders don't seem to have any better ideas, so hey, let's try it again. If we keep doing what didn't work before, there is a bare possibility that we just might get the...

The "What In the World BJU" web site currently lists enrollment figures based on how many pictures there are in the "Vintage" yearbook: Freshman, 448, down by 36 from last year, smallest Freshman class in 20 years. Sophomore, 442, down 62 from last year. Junior, 374, down 11 from last year...

I totally agree. There is absolutely nothing wrong, in itself, with church leadership meeting in an amicable manner for an exit interview with members who are leaving. Such a meeting can be mutually beneficial for the congregation and for the member who is leaving. Some leaving members may...

Commentary on the Nakba by Israeli Ashkenazi Jooooooish historian Ilan Pappe: "That the Palestinians were quite defenceless between 29 November 1947 (when the UN partition resolution was adopted) and 15 May 1948 (the day the mandate ended and units from neighbouring Arab states arrived to try...

You can add to this list Akron Baptist Temple (almost defunct, no longer using the Baptist name, their massive sanctuary has been demolished). See David Cloud's commentary on that church - scroll down to page 2, "Desperate times for Independent Baptist churches:"...

Okay, so Tucker said that the forces that developed nuclear technology "were not human forces obviously." So, does that mean that scientists such as Edward Teller, Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard were not human? Lizard people, perhaps? Now here is the funny part. When these scientists were...

I am sympathetic to your desire that church members who had an unpleasant experience in an IFB church need not leave that general movement entirely. In many cases, it is possible for such members to find a soft landing in a more moderate, non-authoritarian IFB church, and many such churches do...

You are hereby charged with TDS (Trump Disappointment Syndrome).

And BJU ordained him? That doesn't sound kosher to me. I don't know if I can prove it from Scripture, but it has always been my understanding that only a local church can ordain a minister. I suppose BJU just makes up the rules as they go along. I also suppose that if BJU has the right to...

All tuckered out - seems to me that Tucker is damaging his credibility in a number of ways, not only with his remarks about the demonic origin of nuclear technology, but now by his publishing a book by Russell Brand. The book is getting a lot of really bad reviews, and I don't think this galoot...

Years ago I left an abusive IFB church, but at the time, I felt that I needed to be a member of another church of the same doctrinal stand, so I joined another nearby church of that type. My previous pastor had all his preacher and missionary friends bombarding my new pastor with demands that I...

Dialogue from the 1951 movie "The Thing From Another World" - the characters are debating whether or not to destroy the monstrous alien creature in a UFO that landed in Alaska, played by James Arness, before he can kill them all: Dr. Arthur Carrington: You're doing more than breaking army...
