More Protestant Churches Closing than Opening in the U.S.

[Ransom]

“Bring one home” is that how you refer to people that don’t have your color skin?

Memory of a goldfish...

Most not all of you know, if your daughter brought home a big black man dark as the Ace of Spades you would do a big "GULP".

So, stop being dishonest with the good people of the FFF.

My guess would be that in the larger cities, people tend to go to mega churches. They typically have more events for young people and can afford the bells and whistles that smaller churches can't.

IMO, I think it would do most Christians a great deal of good if we could learn to be satisfied with smaller churches without a band and a coffee shop.

So, I just explained all this to my wife about what we are arguing about. She said, grammatically you are correct and that my Cajun way of speaking is getting in the way of understanding you because we do not speak like the rest of the country.

She says we are in our own world down here and people do not understand us. The way we talk, eat, work, joke people just do not understand our culture.

All that to say my wife agrees with you Ransom grammatically that is. She’s a school teacher I married up.
