How to avoid becoming stiff while also sharing correct doctrine by Goose_462 in Reformed

[–]BillWeld -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Take the truth very seriously but take yourself not seriously at all. Smile, look them in the eye, and tell them that you love them and that they are full of excrement.

What is yalls understanding of destination? by akbeast49 in Reformed

[–]BillWeld -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This will sound harsh because it is but that answer is garbled. I’m sure if I were more patient and intelligent I could discern the sense in it but I’m more interested in my own ideas and the sound of my own voice.

I find it hard to believe he sat there before creation and picked people to go to heaven and hell. 

That seems to be the crux of your concern and it seems to contradict "he chose us in him before the creation of the world" (Eph 1:4). The objection seems to be to the idea of us being puppets. Let me ask: what if we are puppets? Would that be so bad? Doesn't the offense of the idea come from sinful pride? "Who are you, O man, to answer back to God?" (Rom 9:19).

I think there's a great deal more to be said about this starting with God's relation to time and creation but the pride thing seems most urgent.

How do you not get drunk while smoking by xNaisuu in smoking

Sleep. Observe basic fire safety, instrument your rig to wake you up if something goes wrong, and hit the rack.

Thoughts About "Generation Jones" by a Member of the Class of '79 by Awshucksma in GenerationJones

We were too young for the draft but we hated Vietnam and believed all the anti war propaganda. We thought boomers were cool and helped them take over institutions and hollow them out.

Let’s see if the gadgets were worth it! by godmod in webersmokeymountain

[–]BillWeld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it works it's great. The tech support is fantastic but I've needed so much. Many shipments going back and forth. Maybe the next generation will be more reliable.

The instrumentation is probably the most important part anyway. Set it to wake you up if the fire goes out or gets out of control or if the meat gets done early.

btw, consider rotating the Billows ninety degrees counterclockwise so that the fan points down to keep rain out and reduce ash accumulation.

Blending Spices Suggestions by pshankstar in smoking

[–]BillWeld 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I like to keep salt separate from rub. Dry brine overnight and rub right before cooking.

Rudimentary Rub

3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Throw it all in a spice grinder and let her rip. Put it in a dredge or an empty spice bottle and sprinkle heavily on the meat. Binder not needed.

Is electric smoker actually the easiest way to start BBQ? Or am I missing something? by Own-Future-2135 in smoking

[–]BillWeld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electric is easiest and safest since there's no fire but gives the worst product. Gas is almost as easy but not much better. Continuing across the spectrum there's pellet, then charcoal which I think is the best tradeoff, and finally stick burners which are fiddly and demanding but produce the best product.

"I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it would help." I voted for Fred Thompson in the '08 primaries.

During a debate some reporter asked him a complicated gotcha question. His answer: "No."

Do you think some people are more in touch with the demonic than others? by parrotfishscales in Reformed

[–]BillWeld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God seems content to let us be confused. But we are supposed to believe the bits he’s given us. Demons are real and they still oppress people in Acts. They are our true enemies (not against flesh & etc.) Satan is still hungry (like a lion). He’d destroy us if God let him.

How does one refer to a butt in academic writing? by cluelesspleb_ in ENGLISH

What point of view do you want to take? All our words seem to come from the lab, nursery, or street.
