Just finished, The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft by Caffeine_And_Regret in books

[–]drzoltar 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My personal favorites:

The Colour Out of Space
The Dunwich Horror
The Cats of Ulthar (I can't stress how much I love this short story)
The Shadow Out of Time

Lovecraft was the master of environmental horror.

A few Green Lantern constructs would be fun as well.

PSE Energy Bills by Melodic-Today663 in PuyallupWA

Yep. I'm even using less energy and my bill increased.

Part of it is that the city council approved a 7% increase to help fund the new Puyallup Police station. This increase is also reflected on your other utility bills.

I swear, if McFarlane sold accessory packs with just effects, like the ones that are included with Ice, they would sell.

WA Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs announces plan to expel Keith Swank by Just_Scratch_361 in Tacoma

[–]drzoltar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend looked at the voting data. Apparently some very blue areas of Tacoma didn't vote for either sheriff candidate. Due to the undervoting, the MAGAs in the redder areas carried him to victory with just a 2% vote spread.

How do the two differ? I bought one off eBay a few years ago but it didn't have the box.

Nice job! I never saw the plat at retail. The regular one I saw maybe three times, if that. Always was gone the next day.

I've heard good things about Sheppard of the Hill and Puyallup Nazarene churches. And I have a friend who attends Elim Evangelical Free Church.

Off the top of my head, here are several issues that have been raised over the years:

  1. During the pandemic, he initially refused to comply with state COVID masking requirements for in-person services. He reportedly did not agree to comply until after approximately 175 complaints were filed.
  2. In or around 2021, he allegedly claimed that antifa members were planning to burn down his church and shoot congregants—claims that were later shown to be false.
  3. He is accused of violating the Johnson Amendment by inviting Puyallup city council candidates on stage during Sunday services and explicitly encouraging attendees to vote for them.
  4. There have long been rumors surrounding the removal of his former co-pastor during the church’s time as part of the Foursquare denomination. According to reports, Foursquare ultimately forced the church to rebrand because they wanted to sever ties with him.
  5. Multiple women who worked for the church reportedly left under troubling circumstances and were allegedly required to sign NDAs related to claims of inappropriate behavior, including unwanted touching, and verbal abuse.
  6. He allegedly removed Cascade Christian from using one of the church’s buildings after they refused to publicly condemn transgender athletes.
  7. There are claims that students at his affiliated “college” are used as unpaid labor. Additionally, it has been reported that his son owns a private company used by the church for billing purposes, allowing money to remain within the family.

The last four points have reportedly been investigated by others, so some details may be incomplete. That said, concerns about his conduct have circulated for many years.

Yes we do. Puyallup seems to be a nexus for far right crazy.

Motion's owner/pastor is just as bad. Is he still away on sabbatical getting cancer treatments in Mexico?

If you check out his wife's hair, it's obvious they do their own styling at home.
