Ok.... What is REALLY important is discerning the maturity of various Christians is it not? And the answer is in 1John. In this letter John writes to children/little ones, adolescents/young men, and Father's. He describes each one perfectly....but he is not speaking about chronological...

I didn't suggest that those who sold their children do not grieve....I recommend that you do the same. I know that they sold them...it doesn't negate their grief either but it also entails tremendous guilt over the situation. Making the entire situation worse. I'm just relating the reality...

Most of the houses I have owned has had copper pipe for drinking lines. And they haven't used lead solder for the copper in a very long time. Always been silver solder. This one I just bought a couple years ago. It's needing fixing. Half inch water lines everywhere even for trunk lines. All...

The house I live in is OLD. Built originally in the 1800's as a Queen Ann Victorian. Electricity, water, central heat/air were upgrades made later. However, the original water line was made with Galvanized iron pipe. It has been needing to be replaced. Got a letter about it today telling...

Some children were not stolen...they were sold by their parents. Poverty drives some parents to sell their children because they have a difficult time feeding themselves much less their children. This is not that unknown of a phenomenon. In the scriptures there are prophecies about...

They are just big and somewhat aggressive for fish. Big fish eat smaller fish. It's just the way the ocean fish or tropical fish operate.

Russia is experiencing stagflation. No unemployment because there is a labor shortage. All factories are at the limit of their production. All economic growth is halted by high interest rates and lack of labor resources. Last night Russia launched an ICBM (non nuclear) in retaliation over...

I've used cheap pots and pans for most of my adult life. Then a few years back my wife (thank God for her) bought me a nice pot....just one. It was such a dream to cook in it....totally different experience. Absolutely wonderful for making caramel or thick sauces or soups without scorching...

Perhaps...Perhaps not. I don't really know who you think I am. I'm just me....always been me.

I get to be arrested for Christmas caroling? Sign me up!

Now really back.... I have too many hobbies. I'm a recovering chef....meaning lots of gadgets and pans. Sewing, leather craft, upholstery, and then yard stuff, gardening stuff, and.... Might need to cut back somewhere....but I really don't know what.

Not the nice wools. Chintz patterns and calicoes mostly. A few checks. Of course hounds tooth patterns as well. If you are going to go to the trouble of making something you need good tools and do it right....do it so it will last. Don't just patch make something....go for it. Go slow and...

Back to the topic.... They are likely just base line models with straight stitches. The accessories are the pricey part. Button hole and various other cartridge attachments get expensive in a hurry. The oil isn't too bad but most need a gallon just to operate if they've been sitting any...

Brother 2s can run $10K depending on the model.... They have LCD screens big enough to watch a movie on while sewing. They are also very complicated to program to run a stitch. But they also can embroider whatever is on file. And that can include Disney characters. A leather sewing machine...

I have no idea what the Restoration Movement is, was, or will be. Never heard of it until you said it. My upbringing was in a wide wide variety of denominations and geographic locations. Because of this when I was a 30-something I started over. Literally.... I started researching and...

Gasifiers are largely problematic. They are one of the worst methods. Literally everything becomes coated in varnish and needs to be cleaned for it to work again after just a week. (The gasses are that dirty burning) Diesel engines? Some you just can't kill with a shotgun....literally...

So.... The more I read this thread... The more I realize that there is no definition or group I belong inside of. Because...things on Earth are getting both better and worse as time goes by. Morally and physically at the same time. I don't think old theologies are the best theologies as...

Fresh water is the most easily obtained by the reverse osmosis process....it's the system most places with very limited fresh water can make fresh water. It is the most efficient process we have with as few problems as can be had. Electricity generation? We need to return to our Natural...
