Put up with an entire show of anti-Christianity and 7th grade jokes about human anatomy for the "payoff" of a Republican having "balcony time" with another man?

That lawyer (the character's name is Alan Shore) always presents impassioned cases. That judge is always silly. But what the show is good for is the friendship of that Alan Shore and William Shatner's character Denny Crane, the Republican head of the firm. It's their "balcony time" at the end of the show that makes it worth watching. Camaraderie seldom gets this kind of treatment on TV.solarbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506179756577015681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22781533.post-75267877916773412732008-01-05T17:09:00.000-06:002008-01-05T17:09:00.000-06:00When I was young, 2nd or 3rd grade - my dad was th...When I was young, 2nd or 3rd grade - my dad was the treasurer of our congregation (pre-sem days for him) when the head pastor was caught stealing from the Offering. To this day, I don't bring my wallet with me when I am preaching - just as a reminder to me of why I am preaching - and it ain't for cash.Rev.

Well, she's got, er, guts. You gotta give her that.<BR/><BR/>But thanks to Ole Anderson (who I'm told is some kind of Lutheran) of the Trinity Foundation (who is also publisher of the hilarious Door Magazine), Congress is actually investigating these false prophets to expose their fiduciary fraud. I'm not a big fan of Congress meddling in religion (if if the religions are non-Christian cults), but if these charlatans are abusing the tax system, there could be a backlash against legitimate clergy. Better to expose these fiends now and at least discourage theft in the name of Jesus.Rev.

I passed through several stages of consciousness in seconds, as usually happens when hearing Blues without warning, and then found it was sort of a hymn, as it was followed by something somewhere between a discourse and a sermon -- and thus began my introduction to Gene Scott, a magnificent phenomenon.<BR/><BR/>While surfing channels -- apparently a fascination with worship by other means extends to past elders too -- I came across Pastor Melissa. I'm sure you're right about the Greek, but what I find most lacking in the Albert Collins et al.<BR/><BR/>As to the others -- Benny Hinn, I thought the slaying in spirit was administered with laying the hand upon the head, not the throat or throwing a coat. How do you have catchers for a whole section of the audience?<BR/><BR/>What, no Swaggart II?<BR/><BR/>We also get our local Baptist (but don't use the term) megachurch, an ELCA parish (proof that heterodoxy and vestments/liturgy do mix), a Congregational (but don't use the term) megachurch, EWTN (the sorriest lot of them all, trying to be Catholic and Vatican II at the same time) but strangely, our local LCMS (but don't use the term) Willow Creek affiliate megachurch is absent.<BR/><BR/>Now, if you get Telemundo, where is Univision? That's the one!Past Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541968132598367551noreply@blogger.com
