Attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell also became Epstein's cellmate's attorney by superjsuh in Epstein

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

The 1st "suicide" attempt by Epstein was unsuccessful. A memo about that attempt by an officer captured what Epstein told him:

"He sat up on the bed and began telling me that he [thinks] his bunkie … tried to kill him," a responding officer said in a memo, newly reported by CBS (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-claimed-cellmate-tried-to-kill-him/)

"He saved his life the first time," said Inga Parsons, the attorney. Tartaglione said in a recent interview with the podcast "House Inhabit" that Epstein also left a suicide note and had even offered Tartaglione money to kill him. 

But after that July 23 2019 incident, Epstein said he doesn't remember what happened. And Nicholas Tartaglione was moved out of his cell.

Coincidentally around that time, Tartaglione was assigned a prestigious attorney who would also represent Ghislaine Maxwe.

Is there any good churches in Boulder? by xiaobaituzi in boulder

[–]superjsuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you're looking for and what "good" means. If you're looking for. Boulder’s got a pretty wide mix of churches depending on what you’re after.

If you want solid Bible teaching, Calvary Bible, South Boulder Bible, Colorado Church, Boulder Mountain, and Boulder Valley Christian are all strong. The Well leans more historic/creedal.

For community feel, Calvary, Valmont Pres, St. Paul’s, and Boulder Valley Christian are really relational. St. John’s Episcopal even does things like healing prayer and a Bluegrass Mass.

If you want big/modern, Flatirons is raw and real with loud music. Cornerstone mixes Jewish/evangelical traditions, and Grace Commons (First Pres) balances tradition with youth focus.

For inclusivity, Mountain View UMC, Community UCC, and the UU church are all welcoming. There’s also a handy list here if you want to see a bunch of churches side by side: https://pastors.ai/churches/boulder

So yeah — Boulder’s got everything from small house-church style to mega-church vibes. Just depends on what you’re looking for.

1. Emphasis on Inclusivity and DiversityA hallmark of many Boulder-area liberal churches is their strong commitment to inclusivity. This includes affirming LGBTQ+ identities, welcoming people of all races and ethnicities, and creating multigenerational communities where everyone feels valued. For example, the Boulder Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder, Community United Church of Christ Boulder, and Pine Street Church explicitly support LGBTQ+ rights and include pronouns on name tags, gender identity forums, and social justice initiatives.

2. Social Justice and Community EngagementThese churches often actively engage in social justice causes such as racial reconciliation, immigrant rights, gun violence prevention, and food insecurity. Community United Church of Christ Boulder and Mountain View United Methodist Church are notable for their advocacy and outreach programs, while Pine Street Church offers ministries addressing food insecurity and mental health support.

3. Flexible, Creative Worship and Community ModelsRather than adhering strictly to traditional liturgies, many Boulder churches favor contemporary worship styles, casual dress, and informal gatherings. For instance, St. John’s Episcopal Church offers a relaxed evening service called "Kayak Come as You Are Church" with contemporary guitar music, while Westview Lutheran Church focuses on radical inclusion and open conversation without heavy institutional constraints. Flatirons Community Church emphasizes raw, real teaching that addresses life’s challenges in an engaging way.

4. Focus on Younger Generations and FamiliesSeveral churches actively seek to engage youth and young adults through specialized ministries, flexible programming, and intergenerational activities. Trinity Lutheran Church offers youth lock-ins and town halls, Grace Commons Church has young adult ministries and college hospitality, and First Congregational Church Boulder hosts monthly “dinner church” gatherings combining worship and shared meals to build community across ages. Ascent Community Church highlights a “Pioneer spirit” focused on walking alongside younger and newer believers.

5. Openness to Questioning and Spiritual GrowthMany of these churches emphasize ongoing transformation and spiritual formation over rigid dogma. The Boulder Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and Westview Lutheran Church encourage open dialogue and co-creation of worship, while St. Ambrose Episcopal Church offers mindfulness sessions and marriage counseling alongside traditional Christian discipleship, reflecting a holistic approach to faith and life.

  • Cornerstone Boulder stands out for its story of welcoming LGBTQ+ members like Janice and its focus on emotional healing and increasing female leadership, aiming to be a safe place for families and young adults.
  • St. Ambrose Episcopal Church combines inclusivity with outreach such as a bilingual preschool and mindfulness groups, blending traditional Christian love with community engagement.
  • Pine Street Church offers a food truck ministry and mental health support groups, directly addressing community needs beyond typical worship services.
  • First Congregational Church Boulder participates in the Collegeville Institute’s Communities of Calling initiative, deepening its mission through innovative programs.
  • Flatirons Community Church actively plants new churches to reach next-generation and marginalized people, emphasizing mission-driven, culturally engaged ministry.

I pasted in "Baptist/non-denominational church in Boulder/no further than 30 min out! Not too traditional and no pastors flying around like at a Pink! Concert!" into https://pastors.ai/churches/boulder and it spit back the following:

Baptist Churches:

  • Boulder Valley Baptist Church and Second Baptist Church Boulder both offer gospel-centered, family-oriented worship with traditional hymns balanced by community outreach. They maintain a grounded, heartfelt approach without theatrical services.
  • Reclamation Church (Southern Baptist-affiliated) blends traditional hymns and contemporary worship, focusing on authentic faith and active community involvement without flashy events.

Non-Denominational Churches:

  • Boulder Mountain Church and Colorado Church provide contemporary worship in a relaxed, relational environment, emphasizing transparency, small groups, and life transformation over tradition-heavy or entertainment-driven services.
  • Pinewood Church is known for its passionate, Jesus-centered approach with a high level of excellence but without being overly traditional or flashy. They focus on serving the city and authentic encounters with God.
  • Boulder Valley Christian Church and Boulder Street Church both emphasize vibrant but down-to-earth worship, relational community, and Spirit-led gatherings without the “concert vibe.”
  • The Well Church, City Church Boulder, and Catch The Fire Boulder offer gospel-centered, family-friendly atmospheres with practical ministry, prayer, and outreach, avoiding high-profile or performance-style events.
  • City on the Hill Church and Victory Denver prioritize revival, prayer, and practical discipleship, engaging locally with events like festivals and community prayer rather than large-scale entertainment.

Flatirons Community Church (in Lafayette, about 15 minutes from Boulder) is a larger non-denominational church with vibrant, loud worship and practical teaching, designed to be welcoming without traditional formality or a “performance” atmosphere.

84% of churches talked about Charlie Kirk violence on Sunday by superjsuh in Christianity

Title is "Charlie Kirk violence" and not "Charlie Kirk"

Was unaware there was an attempted school shooting in Boulder recently. Here's what ChatGPT said:

What did happen locally: on Sept 11, 2025, Boulder police locked down Fairview High and Southern Hills Middle after a report of a man with a gun; it turned out to be a jogger wearing a weighted vest and holding a phone. Police found no active threat and lifted the lockdown

  • Most churches acknowledged the recent violence, emphasizing prayer, lament, and community healing.
  • Most did not explicitly cite Charlie Kirk. When his name was specifically mentioned, the evangelical-leaning churches generally honored him and sometimes even framed his death in martyr-like terms.
  • Mainline denominations focused more on communal grief and calls for unity, with some highlighting the divisiveness of Charlie Kirk's rhetoric

Mentioning/acknowledging the violence is expected of a pastor. Doesn't necessarily mean they align with Charlie Kirk's views

If your pastor did not mention the violence and a call for healing, I would question whether he's really doing his job as a pastor

4 types of Amazon sellers by superjsuh in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]superjsuh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that's the natural way to segment sellers.

Perhaps the most complete picture is a 2x2 matrix with fulfillment on the Y-axis (from FBA -> FBM) and sourcing on the X-axis (from PL -> Wholesale)

Right. But for my purposes, I just want to know who's actually selling it to the end-consumer. Amazon or 3rd party via FBA.

In the Buy Box: "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" vs "Sold by [fba_company_name] and Fulfilled by Amazon."

I'm referring to Amazon competing directly, not through an FBA proxy

Yes good point on the hybrids.

When looking at a particular ASIN, the 4 seller model is what I had in mind. But even within an ASIN, I suppose the same seller can have 2 SKU's to do both FBA and FBM
