@sickburnbro My wife knit and crocheted and something that made her angry was that by the mid 90's it was more expensive to make clothing from scratch than it was to buy it.
"So, what does all of that mean? Lower IQs, lack of civilizational development, extraordinary levels of violence? Are the KKK-style racists correct that blacks are genetically coded to be inferior to everyone else? No, I don’t think so.
The hardest-working and kindest man I’ve ever known was black. Thomas Sowell is arguably the greatest economist of the last half-century. We’ve all seen Hidden Figures, the true story of how Katherine Johnson and her team played a critical role in sending the astronauts to the moon. Madame CJ Walker was America’s first self-made female millionaire, overcoming actual racism (not microaggressions) and creating a company that employed 20,000 women at the beginning of the 20th century. There are countless more examples of why it’s impossible for DNA to be the cause. So, then, what has created so much black dysfunction?"
@BowsacNoodle@DC5FAN@jeffcliff@Paultron They were around where I grew up as a kid and I remember them fondly but every time I stumble across one these days it tends to be located in a ghetto

The big fat surprise by Nina Teicholz. This is a book written by a female science writer who got detailed to write reviews of fine dining restaurants where she ate very rich food and began to lose weight to her surprise.
The big thing in my humble is to go low carb. We just aren't designed to eat the types and amounts of sugar we eat today. Good luck!
@James_Dixon@Snidely_Whiplash@jesuspilled So let's climb into the wayback machine all the way back to the beginnings of this conversation on Gab where i said i thought it would be great for believers to gather together to attempt to create a baste Church in an attempt to rid it of progressivism and dispensationalism and strip it down to the bare metal and examine each element as its put back.
Those are my exact words tell me what you disagree with?
@James_Dixon@Snidely_Whiplash@jesuspilled >And you don't seem to understand that a house church of any size is still a church, and as such should keep his commandments, most especially that one.
Well as I was trying to get people to start a house church i'm a bit baffled at what you took away from what i was saying? I'm not anti-Church i'm anti modern churches that i believe have been corrupted and have failed. But excellent job again not being able to comprehend what i say.
@James_Dixon@Snidely_Whiplash@jesuspilled So from an early Church point of view (during the Apostles lifetime) they has what they called the Agape feast which seemed to be a recreation of the Lord's support with actual food and liturgical elements and then a second gathering which was more casual where they would express their gifts and edify one another. We seem to have just mashed those together in the modern Church and my questions remain the same: why are we all so sure we're doing things correctly and what error was being fixed by this mashup?
@James_Dixon@Snidely_Whiplash@jesuspilled > and the sharing of a meal is a perfectly acceptable part of that. But it's not a Mass. It's not Communion. They're completely separate things.
@James_Dixon@Snidely_Whiplash@jesuspilled I believe the Apostles had a purpose for both gatherings and I think we managed to cobble together the dumbest possible version or perhaps the most pointless version.
To be clear a coffee clatch or a pot luck supper IS NOT the Agape Feast. The Agape feast was how they did communion not just wine and crackers and the other gathering was for the purpose of training up the Saints something we just gave up on.
