I would hope people around me would alert the neighbors when there’s armed, masked men grabbing random people off the street. That’s precisely what a community watch is supposed to be looking out for.

This Index did not contain the Bible. It may have contained some Bible editions published by Protestants, which the RCC disagreed with, but the Protestants likewise prohibited the printing of Roman Catholic approved editions of the Bible in England, Scotland and Wales, and made life as difficult as possible for Roman Catholics in Ireland. In the Netherlands at least Catholicism was tolerated as long as it was practiced in secret, but in England, Scotland and Wales, any Roman Catholic priests caught during the Elizabethan era would be executed (Oliver Cromwell extended the persecutions to Anglicans using the Book of Common Prayer, since Anglicans were in his mind no different from Roman Catholics, which was of course absurd, but that was the view of many “Dissenting” Protestants as they came to be known after end of the Cromwellian tyranny.

History of Protestantism - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Protestantism originated from the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. The term Protestant comes from the Protestation at Speyer in 1529, where the nobility protested against enforcement of the Edict of Wormswhich subjected advocates of Lutheranism to forfeit all of their property.[1]However, the theological underpinnings go back much further, as Protestant theologians of the time cited both Church Fathers and the Apostles to justify their choices and formulations. The earliest origin of Protestantism is controversial; with some Protestants today claiming origin back to people in the early church deemed heretical such as Jovinian and Vigilantius.[2]

You are, as usual, being quite offensive about this. For what purpose are you trying to catechise me?

Relax. It was part of a generalized question.

If it is solution NY. Then everyone in New York City will pay for it. One of the highest cost of living cities in the US whose taxes are already through the roof will be taxed even greater.

Yeah, that is a great plan.

I had the misfortune of watchig one this morning. Reporters would ask questions, and he would start extemporaneously inventing the most bizarre and outrageous scenarios, usually ending with self-praise because he saw himself as so much smarter than the person he was criticizing.

After two or three of these forays, I wondered why they even bother to ask questions. All the press is doing is giving him the time to spread lies, hatred, and revenge fantasies. Did he really answer one of the questions about Iran by talking about how he had won the 2020 election, everyone knew he did, Democrats tinkered with the vote. Really? Yes, really.

And then, "Are you going to bomb Iran?" To which he said maybe yes, maybe no, he won't know until it happens.

CNN related later that a source confided that Trump had already drawn up bombing plans and authorization the night before.

And then I just SMH. Because if he did that, we'll be reading about it in "The Atlantic" tomorrow morning.

No more press briefings--don't give him the opportunity to obfuscate, threaten, bully, insult, revisit past grievances...Give him one chance to answer a question. If he doesn't, leave with your microphone and camera, saying "No air time for you!"

I wonder why there's rarely talk in those dreams. Glad you got that dream. I had one the other day about my partner. He went home after a while and I thought to myself 'if our relationship's so perfect why doesn't he live with me? Then I remembered and thought I'd gone crazy and went around askjng people if I was sane. Then realised I was dreaming and woke up. I was thankful when I woke that i got to see him and spend time with him in the dream. It's ten years this year.
