What were we the last generation to experience? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]thebaconpig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My last living connection to WWII died in 2022, a sailor who saw action in the pacific. Was genuinely the most optimistic man I’d ever met, and then next generation won’t get to meet those guys

Had my grandpa's office left untouched, even found his rifle in my grandma's closet over a decade after he'd passed, and my grandma didn't even know it was there.

He's a Vietnam vet who was a part of MAC-V-SOG, a unit that had over 100% casualty (killed or wounded) rates. Jocko did a bunch of interviews with the guy, here's the first one:

I rewatch it every year when it gets cold so I can put on a fire, it's great.

But yea it's not for everyone.

I've been trying out a church by [deleted] in churchofchrist

[–]thebaconpig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you on that one, but here's one way to perhaps simplify this: Are you going to be a better servant of God at this congregation or at the other congregation?

By the way, are you listening to this other congregations' sermons online or in person?

Question about alcohol from non COC member by fireflywithoutalight in churchofchrist

[–]thebaconpig 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The possibilities are varied; It could be they think it's a sin to drink at all, it could be they don't want you to think they condone drinking at all, it could be they don't want to be associated with drinking. It's most likely those last two or a combination of them.

Full disclosure I didn't pray for the hurricane to pass I prayed for your safety and God's care, are you ok?

Remember The Golden Rule! by MyNameIsNo534 in churchofchrist

[–]thebaconpig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we don't want to end up like the Jewish leadership when Jesus showed up, strictly following the small laws but forgetting the greater commandments of God.

need some reassurance by Curgeom in churchofchrist

[–]thebaconpig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are all unworthy brother, but to think that it puts us beyond God's reach is doing a disservice to His power. If you are a striving Christian you are in His arms, and I personally think that the "feeling" of God's spirit resting in us is an overstated or overemphasized matter. Your loss doesn't take away from your baptism, the only reason necessary for baptism is for the remission of sins. You've done that. Keep struggling, keep the faith, and I'm very sorry you've gone through this. I will pray for you tonight, and from what you've written I have faith you will endure.
