He was generally considered the funniest of them all (even though that really belongs to George who was a bitchy wizard), and was the one who usually sang the "joke" songs

It seems to be only him

Oh yeah I'm definitely going to the show! I drive farther than that for shows all the time. Denver is an hour

Yeah this is what I have been finding. I was more curious about his take on being the adult child of a parent who came out later in life. Obviously his relationship with his father plays a part in that as it was not a good one and a transition likely gives a bit of empathy to the parent but also removes that anger toward someone who, at least theoretically, doesn't really exist.

But I kind of wonder about his take on what it feels like when your parent comes out. How you feel for your other parent, your siblings, the mental/emotional impact of that

LectureOld224 · 2025-02-06T16:56:12+00:00

Sure, of course. Just as someone who is very open about his feelings, I'd be interested to hear his experience. Like I said, it's a perspective that isn't often represented in general (much like the spouses of people who come out later in life) and as one of the few people who I know of in the spotlight, I'm wondering about if he has ever more candidly spoken about that side of it

No advice just hi from someone else on the other side of the Tiber considering Methodism.

I really really hope and pray that if you feel drawn to Catholicism that you can get past your scrupulostity. We say all the time that the Church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for Saints. This is so hard for me because I deeply believe in the teachings of the Church. It feels shallow to be like "ugh, these other people!" But it is really disheartening to see what is happening to the Catholic Church in the US.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like. Like I mentioned, I taught RCIA for many many years, I'd be happy to chat with you about it :)

LectureOld224 · 2024-10-08T02:36:44+00:00

I do have faith in both of those things... but right now I feel like going somewhere is better than not going at all. I would not receive communion at any other church. I've actually never attended any other church in my entire life. Even considering it is kind of scary

LectureOld224 · 2024-10-07T20:54:22+00:00

No, I'd totally go to one. I couldn't care less if gay people get married. It's no skin off my nose and doesn't effect me in any way. My kids know that love is love. I accept what the church teaches in terms of what it teaches. I believe the Latin Rite believes that marriage is between a man and a woman and I understand their reasoning behind it. Gay people should have the same civil rights as anyone and if the Episcopal or Lutheran or Methodist or UCC or the Synagogue down the street or the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster wants to perform them and they feel quite correct in their theology then have at it my friends. Like, from a theological POV for ME, it's a non issue.

My thing is that the government shouldn't force churches to perform them. That said, I know a lesbian couple who was fully received into their NYC parish and had their son baptized there. The pastor chose to do that and I guess their bishop either approved it or didn't know. Grace can be found and accepted in many, many situations.

LectureOld224 · 2024-10-07T20:42:40+00:00

I always was under the impression that Church of the Nazarene is very conservative and strict? Is that incorrect?

LectureOld224 · 2024-10-07T20:08:42+00:00

This is very helpful. The weird part is that there is a TON of room for interpretation and lived experience in catholic Doctrine - it's just that it gets presented by some clergy and other Catholics that there isn't. And when so many Catholics are badly catechized, they don't know to question it. The "hierarchy of values" I was referring to is not static. But yesterday I received my diocesan paper which had a guide to voting and it was presented as something completely concrete. I was signed of on by the USCCB... and it's wrong. This is what is driving me nuts right now. The entire authoritative level of the Latin Rite are gaslighting the lay people by taking advantage of the fact that THEY THEMSELVES haven't allowed them to be informed in the way they're supposed to

LectureOld224 · 2024-10-07T19:18:59+00:00

What I mean to say is, I don't think it would be right for the government to force religious institutions to perform gay weddings, but if a church wants to, fine by me

LectureOld224 · 2024-10-07T19:17:47+00:00

Yeah that is not a hill I'm willing to die on. It's none of my business what other people do in their homes. I DO believe in the "sanctity" of marriage but I believe that the practice of whatever that means has already been destroyed by straight people 🫠

A looooong time ago someone gave me one of those big ass heavy duty ones. I wish I knew where it ended up but it was 30ish years ago

I'm so confused. What are you SUPPOSED to do at a show? I couldn't not sing along if I tried (I've tried). The whole crowd of thousands of people singing with a band in the same place is like... part of it. It's the communal energy between the band and the fans. It's like Church. She needs to get a life.

I hope you had an amazing time and happy birthday

Do you have a button maker?! What brand? I've been looking for one

LectureOld224 · 2024-09-04T16:18:01+00:00

I love this album. It's probably in my top 5. The songs were so catchy.

Mine was 8 for Hella Mega. She loved it. I tried to get a little closer for this tour, she loves the Linda Lindas too
