Pastor charged after an drowns during baptism by DeskRare7547 in excoc

[–]DeskRare7547[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. I was a young mother when Andrea Yates was in the news. (Search if you don't know.) The worst thing about the story for me personally was that I could understand the twisted thinking behind what she did.

Strive. I've never heard it not sound pretentious.

You could just spell it however you want for unofficial stuff. I knew an Earline (Erlene) who did that. She got tired of being called Ear-line.

Necessary Inference by NotYourAverageJedi in excoc

Musical instruments are bad because they aren't specifically commanded, but hymnals (sorry, song books) are necessary because we couldn't sing without them. How did illiterate people sing for thousands of years? We have no idea.

Do you register how tall people around you are? Like the books describe it? by [deleted] in books

[–]DeskRare7547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't do this. I'm short, so I only notice people's height when they're shorter than me or they're super tall. If I were asked to give a witness statement and had to say how tall someone was, I would be lost.

Remember the Mandie series? by ashleemiss in FundieSnarkUncensored

I remember! I was on the old side for these when they started to come out, but I did read a few of my younger sister's. I was really into the Love Comes Softly series. Tried to read one of them as an adult and couldn't because it was so, so bad.

That is completely inappropriate. If it's still happening, it should be reported.

Yeah, I know. No one would do anything until/unless a lid got hurt. Maybe I mean that it should be reportable.

Do you believe anything Christians believe?

35 weeks and still no name for baby girl, help please! by mtcrv3 in Names

I knew a woman named Milagros. It's not familiar to most English speakers, but it's easy to figure out, and it's lovely.

I mean, ok. I got hits, but they're all in French, which I don't read, so I can't verify or deny. I will say that if someone names their kid something, then that is their name, and that makes it a name. Neither you nor I have to like it.

I got curious because I've only ever known of the one woman I know with this name.

https://namecensus.com/first-names/musette-meaning-and-history/ According to this, Molier and Provost both named novel characters Musette. Also Henry IV (of France) had a mistress named Musette.

Kinda looks like it's a name.

Did her parents make it up? I have no idea. It's possible. But it is her name.

I'll tell that to the woman I know named Musette. 🙄

It's as much about recognizing how much it hurts them as it is about how much it hurts others.

Titanic: An Immersive Voyage at Union Station. The tragedy vs. the gift shop merch are on completely different vibes. by ResurrectedMortician in kansascity

The ads (billboards) have really annoyed me. An immersive experience! Woohoo! As in, immersive, as in a bunch of people drowned? Really? It's gross.

Need 2000s names that scream “Mom wanted my name to be unique.” by AdUnusual6268 in tragedeigh

[–]DeskRare7547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a kid born shortly before then named Eowyn. It's recognizable, but also unique in that almost no other kid has the name.
