I have a source who has evidence (court records) that shows the early church planned to build the first temple in Oakland Township, PA and close to the current Hale house site. The source claims that a company called the "Office of the Melchizedek" has the deed to the land. Do any of the history buffs out there have more information? Should I pursue this evidence?

Even unhealthy trees have low hanging fruit that tastes good. Perhaps you should think about the whole harvest? The Mall, second anointing, racisms, and sexism are obvious places to start. History, Lies, Rook, and jello are a close second. OK, rook and jello are just annoying. What you might find is that healthy trees have low hanging fruit that tastes good too.

It has been more than a year since I thought about the essays. Something made me click on the links provided by RfM tonight. WTF? The new format of large font and "click to read more" with more web page real estate dedicated to other faith promoting sources than the actual "meat" of the essay. I was bored just looking at it and I know what the f*ch is goin' on. I can't imagine

So I am the youngest of five and my all-TBM sibs' children are reproducing at an alarming rate. I can't keep up. The texts, pictures, and love fest that goes on with each birth is exhausting and I might add, appropriate. Births should be celebrated. Except..... I have one niece who just had a baby out of wedlock. Guess what happened? No glitz. No texts. No pictures. No love fest. I didn't eve

How can the top 1% complain that the bottom 99% need to spend less time working/studying (to make a living) and more time in church service? The GA's are digging their own graves one dollar at a time.

2 pools in all 5 boroughs is a minor affair. Children are restricted during lap time and adult aquatic classes, so.... The city shouldn't be required by law to do it, but I'm glad they do. A pool is a service and they should serve the public by packing the pool with people who want to swim. Obviously they found a public need.
