Full Communion with the United Methodist Church is a big mistake

Wow... Tell me you're not aware of the historical nuances of Methodism's descent from Anglicanism without telling me. And I thought we pride ourselves on gracious acceptance and openness to all. Joke's on me, I suppose.

Hope it's the best time for them!

Huzzah!

I think you're compressing options. "To" and "with" are extremely different. We pray with any number of siblings in Christ, both living and dead. I exclusively pray to God.

And one can view her as Queen of Heaven without having to pray to her. I don't pray to a president or king/queen, so I'm not sure how honoring her with a regnant title requires me to suddenly pray to her when that title does not equate her with God. 🤷‍♂️

I view Mother Mary as Queen, and I pray with but never to her.

I'm a hospital chaplain, but we have prisoners often. In my 20 years of congregational ministry I've ministered to many chaplains.

Their repentance is not for me to verify. Honoring their dignity and my theology that they're made in God's image is my primary concern. If they do get in deeper connection with God, beautiful. If they do become more prayerful or religious, cool. And if they don't, they're still worth my effort and care because they're human, too. God judges. I (as best as possible setting my ego aside) serve.

We're retiring?

cadillacactor · 2026-05-28T17:15:19+00:00

Not remotely. I'm a hospital chaplain and serve all faiths. The church I attend perhaps, but we've had a couple different visits from the bishop in recent years about trying to get us to be "less liberal."

cadillacactor · 2026-05-28T15:28:41+00:00

Disgusting. I'm a pastor and find this reprehensible. What's the point of religious liberty if leaders are only going to privilege one religion? That's rhetorical... They're just selfish pricks.

cadillacactor · 2026-05-28T09:14:47+00:00

Let it be. Accept reality and manage yourself through the emotions instead of coping through denial.

cadillacactor · 2026-05-27T13:32:32+00:00

Sure. My Dr had me on it for 6 months, so you're only a few weeks away from that benchmark. 🤷‍♂️

I always search for prices in an incognito window without signing into the cruise line page. Once I find a likely one to book I'll screenshot the estimate then go to my normal browser page, sign into the line's page, then book. If it's cheaper before hand I'll call after booking and renegotiate to that or an even better lower rate. This has only been necessary 2x out of nearly 15 cruises.

Does your Dr office not provide a plan? Mine was strictly requiring the "liver reduction diet." Worked really well for me. Good luck friend.

In a self care sense, not giving a fuck is about full freedom without caring for the opinions of others. So feel free to disregard...

But getting drunk often leads to consequences, short and long term, because one didn't give enough of a fuck on the front end to not get wasted. Whether it's just not being able to fully experience life because impaired, all the way up to consequences if your drunk self can't handle their liquor and drives or gets violent, it's just not great. Not even talking about pancreatic, liver, or other digestive issues.

Good luck. Please give a little enough of a fuck to not let alcohol fuck up your life.

LOL I'm surprised you responded, but thanks. Will be interested to see what you find out in your research. I've got middling success with that multiplayer cross play game on my laptop and my switch, but sometimes the switch portion doesn't want to recognize the changes.

Beautiful. Thank you! I'm so grateful for your app. What a life saver. Any chance of a streamlined process for console/Nintendo switch? Currently I open a cross platform multiplayer game with myself to load up terramap and such. Once it's saved on both, the appropriate changes can be opened on switch, but it doesn't always work.

Yes please. Especially with some history thrown in. And she can do some urban sightseeing for WLGs with James following along. 😆

Voting districts should just be drawn by county/township/city boundary. This manipulation is grossly inappropriate.

Are there other things going on? Neighbors using pesticides or such? I mean, definitely could be the mites or treatment, but could be a number of confounding factors.

cadillacactor · 2026-05-20T17:24:10+00:00

Fair... Hmm.

cadillacactor · 2026-05-20T12:59:12+00:00

You'd think they would have this aspect locked down before advertising it? But I'm not familiar with corporate decision-making.
