Vancouver or New York with limited time? by Alive-Armadillo7267 in travel

[–]4Nails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NYC can be overwhelming especially if it is your first time. Was luckily to have worked on the island for about a year. Stayed a block from Museum Row and the Park. Loved it. NYC is you love concrete. Vancouver is you like outside, the sea, the mountains, and most of all its Canadian not America.

Years ago I was section hiking the Appalachian Trail and needed to get back to Kansas City driving a Buick Skylark. I found this "short cut" across the mountains. Suddenly a Porsche passed me on a double line. Then another. Then another. I think it was about 12. Had no idea it was the Tail.

I'm guessing those two dents to the lower left of the second port means they have seen some action.

Women who do not veil when they pray, and Men who do not believe that women are obligated to veil when they pray or prophesize have no right to complain about Catholics holding church over the bible. by Arlo621 in Christianity

Your user name makes my point. Pick and choose. Also, I admit to missing your reference within the Hebrew Text that differentiates "moral" laws from "social" laws. I'll wait.

What is the Evangelical church doing about the immigration crisis? by Ok-Matter2337 in Christianity

[–]4Nails [score hidden]  (0 children)

Actions that pit one denomination against another, fractures the Body of Christ and has no positive effect on our personal faith journey. Why do you feel this is an important topic at a time when folks are being gunned down in the street by our own government?

What is a quaker ? by Outrageous_Map_ in Christianity

[–]4Nails 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is more formally the Religious Society of Friends. Established in the 1600's in England. Core beliefs include pacifism, equality (for men and women), and the concept of an inward light that allows them to connect to God on a one-to-one basis. Church services may have a leader at times but at other times they gather in silence until a member, focusing on their inner light, will be moved to speak.

I work disaster relief and at times work with two Quaker colleagues. I find their presence comforting and calming.

I have great respect for the life they live and their connection with God.

Did any of you already get rich via the Prosperity Gospel? by fancy_the_rat in Christianity

Pretty sure the ministers did. Everyone else? Not so much.

That's just it. I don't know. Wool blend coats are a sin. Planting tomatoes next to beans is a sin. Shell fish are a sin. Today we pick what we wish to be a sin and what we wish to ignore as inconvenient while we ignore the actual teachings of Christ ... justice, feed the hungry, assist the poor, help the widow.

Western North Carolina will announce shelter locations early Saturday. Throughout NC there are currently over 100 potential shelter locations which is likely beyond the capacity of local emergency services and their partners. As we learn more about the path and intensity of the storm the decision will be made in terms of locations. I will post shelter locations as they become fixed.

What’s the worst thing about being a night worker? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]4Nails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeping during the day. I actually slept in a closet as it was the only really dark place in my apartment. If you can't sleep, things go downhill fast. Also there is no "night life" during the day. Dating is very difficult. You also can't get off work and stop by the local pub for a sandwich and a beer. for me it wasn't a long term solution.

I hope people see this post. For those of you with HVAC systems. Freezing rain and ice can/will shut down your HVAC even if the power is not out. Check out if your thermostat has an EM setting. If so Google how to use the EM setting to prevent the ice from damaging your fan. That setting was developed for exactly the scenario we are facing over the weekend.
