    ABC shows Kentucky footage and claims it is in Turkey

    Well attended events happen every day, I bet 99.9% of the us population have never heard of the Knob Creek machine gun shoot. LOl

    ABC shows Kentucky footage and claims it is in Turkey

    I'm born in raised in small town USA, I worked at a local TV news station years ago (collage), and my wife has worked in print news for over 2 decades... I find it hard to fathom this a just sloppy work at a major news outlet, sorry. Couple that with the over the top dramatic reading of the...

    ABC shows Kentucky footage and claims it is in Turkey

    So you think someone trolled ABC, and sloppy fact checking? Any chance another option is that a narrative was being pushed and someone found "scary war footage" to make the footage fit the narrative of the story?

    The Decline of Christianity in the West - your thoughts?

    Perhaps we can look at the current "platforms" of various Christian denominations today, and compare them to the platforms/stances/sermons/teachings say... 60 years ago... I wonder what we might see?

    ABC shows Kentucky footage and claims it is in Turkey

    It happens. HOW does it happen?!!?! Someone tell me how a leading big 3 network news agency that's been producing news for decades gets years old footage of a gun show "night shoot" in Kentucky and mistakes it for breaking news footage of a war in Syria? Walk me though it, please.

    C. S. Lewis, a writer of pagan myths, magic and witchcraft?

    Pagan? Are there any churches or priests in LOTR? Occult? Magic rings, wizards, orcs? LOL

    LGBT group proposes dissolving UMC into 4 new denominations.

    That would be logical to me. Many of the former Methodists here joined Baptist and more conservative independent congregations.

    Taxing the rich to help poor is theft

    “And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.”

    LGBT group proposes dissolving UMC into 4 new denominations.

    Grew up in an United Methodist church, in a part of the country where there are Methodist churches everywhere. The congregations are frequently about a 10th of the size they were when I was a child in the 70s. I can only speak for myself and only from my experiences and the experiences of...

    Trump Ends Fight Against ISIS

    So we didn't do one, and who's willing to admit they want two and think it is worth it?

    Trump Ends Fight Against ISIS

    For how long? What if our co-participants said never? What if everyone said "you have to stay!"? Seems, NOBODY has and end game other than the US must stay, invest our blood and money, and stay, and invent, and stay, and invest.... forever. To me it seems everyone is "not an expert in Middle...

    Trump Ends Fight Against ISIS

    But we were never pulling out were we? Show me what specific conditions would have to be met to pull out? When was this region last stable?

    Trump Ends Fight Against ISIS

    I don't think that's a very good comparison. When was the last combat deaths in South Korea and Japan? Is that argument that Syria is stable?

    Trump Ends Fight Against ISIS

    Without mentioning the bad orange man, can anyone who believes we should stay explain to what end? For how long? What will end us being there? How much more time? How many more lives of American soldiers? How much more US tax dollars? Please explain how this realistically ends if we don't pull...

    Professor goes after SpongeBob SquarePants

    Sounds like it was written by a very trouble soul, who is so attached to their world view that they are utterly blind to reality.

    Very Recently Left Catholicism And Need Advice For Dealing With The Fallout From Catholics

    So odd, and sad, to hear something like this. I'm sorry anyone would have to go through that sort of mess. It sounds almost cult like, or like some over-dramatic story about "leaving the Amish". The way we humans treat each other is so often sad, and worse. Pray, read your scripture, and try...

    Where were you on 9-11 ?

    At work, one of my coworkers was on the phone with a business partner who screamed in shock because he worked near and saw the plane hit the Pentagon. We were glued to our monitors and TV.

    Funerals, Burial, Cremation.

    While we're discussing this, can someone point out where scripture tells us the ramifications of cremation vs. a tomb with a giant boulder in front of it, vs. a pine box in the ground, vs. modern embalming and burial?
