See, this is the bane of my existence. I want an ornate church with an elaborate and traditional liturgy, not the strip mall joint where they give you grape soda and crackers for Communion. But almost every time, it's those gorgeous churches that have the nutso leftist theology, and the strip mall places stick the closest to the Bible. Why can't I ever get traditional liturgy *and* traditional theology?

Exodus is full of specific instructions on how to build the very impressive Tabernacle and King Solomon built the Temple according to God's instructions (I can't remember the scripture) which included covering most things in gold, silver and jewels.

You could probably drink a fair dose of liquid mercury, and have nothing for your trouble but an amazing case of the shits. It's certain mercury salts and organometallic compounds that are the nasty stuff.
Somewhere, I still have about 2 ounces of liquid mercury in an apothecary jar.

I disagree. I hold that the problem with US cities is that they have no cathedrals. I don't mean ornate buildings, but a center of community life. An anchor. We all send out money to DC perverts, I would rather send it to local perverts in a nice building. (That was a joke, I do not want to diss the Catholics) - I am serious that we have lost all community cohesion, and if building a big ornate community center with lots of rituals does nothing else it is worth it.

so much to unpack ... you are defending the selling of indulgences ... Luther was a heretic because the Pope speaks ex cathedra, directly from the mouth of God, and can never be wrong, even as he tortures good people to force them to confess"? yeah, go with that.
My stone wall Lutheran church of my youth is pretty awesome, but indeed the protestants still cling to much of the terrible pagan doctrine that the Catholics cling to. But WOW, Dave, you really want to cling to your religion of "our cathedrals point to heaven" as your doctrinal proof that Protestants are demonic?

The church building in a way was the word of God made stone, and the artwork and stonework described the books of the bible.
With the translation of the Bible out of Greek and Latin, there was less of a need in the Protestant churches to show the Bible in architecture, since they could read it instead. Also the dissenting churches were often quite poor and could not afford architecture
However, the modern trend to make churches look like a modern McDonald's restaurant is puzzling

In Kansas City, the (used to was) Westport Baptist Church has a nave that has 3 spindles above the upper lofts. Darned things must be 3' thick at the widest. All turned like a table leg. 40? 50 feet long?
How did they do that in the 1880's?

The Lutheran and Presbyterian churches of my childhood were definitely not strip mall churches- they were all A Frame types structures made from natural materials which I think was due to the Danish/Scandi influence. Beautiful in their simplicity. The strip mall ones (I think) are new and unaffiliated Christian churches, like "covenant" and "His Word" and "the Bible."

Fun story about that recording - the band hired Clare Torry, an accomplished vocalist with improv skills. She asked what they wanted and they told "just do what you feel." Well she thought that's ridiculous and after listening through the instrumental track once, she asked again, and again they provided no guidance. So she said to herself "Okay I'll give them the most over the top performance I can, and after that they'll tell me what they really want."
So they finished, and she's thinking "well that was ridiculous", and asks them about another take. And they said "oh no need, that was exactly what we wanted. It's perfect!!!" And that's how it came to be.

He loves receiving affection. I am happy to supply.
He hates giving affection. His go-to at any moment is "Oh, you've got limbs? Guess I need to BITE THE HELL OUT OF THEM."
Every other cat I've lived with has understood the concept of "give and take" in the normal sense, the idea that it is "mutual."
He's the first who has been totally "sure, you give, and I take."

Its a joke. I'm a Reformed Calvinist protestant and while my church isn't in a strip mall, it looks kinda like barn. MANY small protestant churches meet in strip malls and some of the megachurches STILL look like strip malls and even have moichendizing and food courts.
I mean there are some gorgeous old protestant churches around. There are a couple in my town from the 1800s. The classical church with a steeple etc people think of a midwest church being: protestant.
But dude. The main trend right now for far too many protestant denominations is a crappy looking "non-threatening not-church-church"
I don't respect the theology but I respect the fact that Roman Catholics for the most part cling to the awe and ritual and beauty of churches, so that they feel and look like a special, reverent, distinct place. Not like the rest of life.

Actually, wa-la is pretty damned close to the correct French pronunciation of "voila". Voici and voila, mean "look here" and "look there", and are very commonly-used French idioms. The "voi" part is pronounced "vwah", and the "ci" and "la" (which exist as words on their lonesomes), are "see" and "lah", respectively.

Well, seeing as it is all just vaporware at the moment, it's fun to play with. Build it in a circle or ellipse, the inside space is isolated, for the most part, from the prevailing winds. You could create a microclimate in there. Of course you would use desalinated water. And your arcology would take less energy to run and keep cool, if you had a cooler microclimate on the inside. Linear is the worst possible configuration.

Jack Chick was an artist and writer from the 70s mostly who was very concerned about the state of sinners in America and wanted to reach people in a new and fresh way.
Now there were already little comic books being put out by various companies (including very big established comic book companies like DC, in the back room, under a different name) called Tijuana Bibles. They were basically cheap, poor quality illustrated porn and these days they sell for a hell of a lot. They were pretty small and easy to pocket and sold for dirt cheap.
Well Jack Chick sort of took that idea and instead of porn did super earnest, awkward, but often well done comic strips warning about the evils of (insert x topic of the day) usually ending up with someone getting saved.

Yeah Jack was very premill fundamentalist. He basically portrayed Roman Catholics as evil and unsaved, which is not uncommon among the really wound up members of that community. But the other topics were interesting and sometimes hilariously ignorantly portrayed: witches, D&D, Satanists, drugs, etc.
I always liked the tracts I found because I thought the art was pretty well done and I liked how he did storytelling in a really limited format and length.

well, as I mentioned, the first century church met in homes, the OT tabernacles and temples were before the redeemer came. NOW JC is the cornerstone, the "head of the corner" ... the veil was rent from top to bottom ... no more physical structure, the new THANG is the One Body with Christ as the head. (not little impetuous Peter, the little pebble that would deny Jesus thrice before the cock crowed twice.)
So the physical temple with physical laws became the Spiritual One Body. THAT is why this worship of buildings and statues (idols) is So Wrong (imo). And hence my reference to the trees ... no, we do not worship the creation, but rather the Creator.

Late, but again: Latin Mass. It is usually a good way to find a good church that is traditional.
St Martin's in Louisville is beautiful, has a latin mass and a gorgeous pipe organ that they still use.
St Peter's in Lexington has a traditional mass (when I first went and the priest referred to 'Constantinople' I knew I was in the right place.) It is a smaller church but traditionally shaped. Looks like the iconoclasts got to it as some point.
Fucking iconoclasts.

I agree with that more or less, but... having a place of beauty that is visually and conceptually set apart from the world isn't worship of the building but using your gifts to create something special.
If I walk into a church that feels and seems just the same as the outside world, that does not promote worship of God. It does not feel like I've entered someplace different and unique from the rest of the world. It does not build in me a sense of reverence and awe for the creator. Its just the place down the street. But then, I could say the same thing about the music, the attitude of the pastor, etc.
Anything CAN become an idol, including elevating a rejection of fancy worship places (thank God I'm not like those high church types, prays the Pharisee), its a matter of where your focus and core intent is.

@potch
There should be a hotline you can call where you can safely pronounce words you've only ever read out loud for the first time, and they say "oh sweetie" and kindly explain how it's pronounced.
-------
So, high school freshman English class, we're taking turns reading aloud parts of Romeo & Juliet.
We get to a scene where I have to read a word I'd never seen or heard before -- apothecary -- and I pronounce it "app-oh-THECK-uh-ree", and most of the class & the teacher start chuckling.
I stop and look around like "what did I do?" The teacher corrected me ... and of course I was five shades of beet red.
Wifey relates a similar story about her first encounter as a young girl with the word "ache" -- having pronounced it "AH-chee."

OK. thx for the follow up, but has nothing to do with my "theology". Even Apostle Paul spoke of how the church had left him, few remained faithful. I made no mention of special "new world coming". And I think Luther was obviously correct in saying the Catholic church selling indulgences was wrong (give us money and you can buy your way to heaven, despite your rapes and pedophilia, etc.) ...
So your slight is not impressive ... but thanks for explaining how irrelevant it is.

Strip mall churches are often "church plants", new churches that don't have a lot of money and find the cheapest place to rent on Sunday mornings to meet. Or splinter groups when a larger church has a falling out between members.
Most of the Baptist churches I've gone to were red brick churches with a steeple and white columns in the front, mostly built post world war two.

well the "joke" was that the Catholic church shows it worships God because its churches point to heaven (like the pagan's trees) ... whereas Protestant churches do not. ... So I was addressing that absurdity.
But YES, much of Institutional "Christianity" is pagan and/or ritualistic, not based in "faith comes by hearing, hearing the Word of God". Rituals are addictive, they are like PC right think, like Wokism. Like Science TM. Like Fauci-ism. Group Thank Writ Large.

After it was over, the CEO at Cummins hated the way the town had been made so ugly, and agreed to bankroll new public and private architecture - as long as he got to pick the designers and designs. He farmed everything out to basically every prominent mid-century architect he could get onto airplanes. The whole place is like an architecture museum.

Those are awesome -- he's quite talented.

OK, making nice things is nice, and rejecting all new nice things (the Amish?) is dumb. But it is easy to see the power of groups ... hence we get the need for our nation as founded, and the attempt to "separate and balance powers" ... but it was all intended for a "Christian People", with the power held at the lowest level.
So I guess that is the root of my contempt for the "Our Group is Right", when they are the Globalists, and while Luther broke the DeepReligionState, it only fractured it, and then the Protestants mostly kept the other (pagan) things that needed to be broken.
Institutional religion is broken, like "democracy" is broken, where there is a uniparty, ... Institutional Christian Religion is mostly a "uniparty, clinging to wrong doctrine. (and I have no problem with the pretty architecture, but it does not mean anything as far as spiritual integrity goes)

Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workmen that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth (from memory, adding a little extra capitalization) 2 timothies, 2:15
so I relate this to the awesome temple Ace has built, and while we don't worship here, we do endeavor to rightly divide the political (and I think also spiritual) words of Truth. Yet, it is ephemeral, no nice red brick, no beautiful stonework or awesome internal wood arches ...
perhaps this is an example of how a Christian Church could work .. people constantly challenging the right or wrong doctrine? (as opposed to "Ace said it, we must all repeat the mighty words of Ace") Nice to have an informed leader, and in this case we have no "Bible" except history and the constitution .. but still, an interested example of a less centralized power "group"

well, imo it was a compromise with Satan ... the beginning of cancel culture. (or the end of individual sovereignty, such as it was, and the exile of Artemas Gordon ... ha, I forget the guy that denied their wrong doctrine and was cast out). JC is the foundation stone prophesied about in multiple ways through the OT ... he was replaced by an earthly man ... the scribes perhaps saved "us" by faithfully transcribing the texts ... but we still got the Dark Ages.
We tend to forget that even the OT had the "remnant", faithful prophets that at times had to hide in caves, as most of the world went dark. They studied.

Old families with history of political power. They find a clown like Obama and puff him up because he thinks he knows better than you do, but he's a tool because he's stupid as well.

OT "remnant" is an easy search.
Current faiths as "kompromat" ... I don't get what you mean, as I see kompromat as blackmail (so OK, yeah, maybe the institution does blackmail/coerce the individual). But yes, the institutional church is an institution ... commie pope, lesbian pastors in many protestant churches.
But the best hope is in smaller independent churches that maintain scriptural integrity, to the best of their ability. And the even better hope is the (extended?) family that "studies to show themselves approved unto God".
I am warming up even more to the conceptual comparison to this AoS "church" that has no temple, but is a free flow of apostolic "new revelations" of our worldly situation. There are here, not pastors and prophets exactly, but certainly teachers and those that enlighten us in their unique capabilities. ... Kind of a spiritual body ... if it became "religious and rigid" it would maybe fail (like the rigidity of that chair in the movie "Contact" ?)

Fired up the tractor, and used it to yard the tree through the caragana hedge, and into the grass strip between that and the neighbor's crop land. The I-40 was being cantankerous, and I needed several sessions to cut enough off the tree to get the remains out of the crop. Hauled some off cuts to the burn pit. more cutting needs to be done.

I mean, what percent of the holy lands were Christian post Arias and the council of Nicea? Did not those "Catholics" for the most part turn Muslim, some 300 years after Arias? (as opposed to long dead Arias and his also long dead handful of exiled followers?)
or are we in revisionist Catholic history territory?

Dune buggies are traditionally built on a shortened VW beetle floor pan. I have that. All the mechanicals are stock VW for the year of the floor pan. Mine is '61. In '61, VW beetles all had six volt electrics, and the flywheel was a tad under 11" O.D.. and had coarse gear teeth to mesh with the starter pinion. Starting in 1968, they went to 12 volt electrics, and the engine flywheel was finer toothed on the ring gear and about .050" bigger in O.D. That flywheel won't fit readily into the "six volt" bellhousing.
Now I happen to have a good running 1961 40HP engine, and I plan to use it. But if I ever decide to sell the thing, it would sell a lot easier with a 1600 dual-port engine ( which I also have one or two of). So going with a '12 volt" transaxle lets me use my choice of engines.

Hah! I love VW engines. So nicely balanced. I even have an old 36 HP engine that runs, but it needs valve work on #3 cylinder. And I have spare parts!
But it's way cheaper to rebuild a 1600 dual port. The vintage engine parts command vintage parts prices.

That was a somewhat different heresy than Arianism, which was about who outranked who in the Trinity.
Monophysitism was a different heresy at the time of the rise of Islam - That Jesus had only one nature, all divine and no part human. It was held widely and the Byzantine efforts to stamp it out accounted for the ease with which their holdings in Levant accepted Islam. If you were going to be 2nd class, they felt it was better to go with the religion that just made you pay a tax rather than the one that persecuted you to change your mind.
The Greek side of Christianity had a genius for fighting forever about insanely obscure doctrinal points.

(sock off) I haven't checked the serial number for the build sheet. Odds are, it was an R1, 289 cu. in., 4 barrel, 10.5 to 1 CR, about 240 HP. would have had a Powershift transmission, which is a Borg-Warner unit, not too dissimilar from a Ford CruiseOMatic.
Curiously, I checked the serial number on this 283, and it was a McKinnon Industries (branch of GM) 283, sold to Studebaker of Canada for use in a '65 or '66 Studebaker car. No Avantis built in those years. None.
The engine runs real nice, as 283's are wont to do. I have a 700R4 sitting on the floor of the shop, rebuilt, with converter, than looks like it needs a new home.

The Greeks are on a whole other level, and it cost them half the empire in the end. Even the pope used to roll his eyes and pretend he couldn't hear them, and the West went along.
And the Catholics inherited a lot of the abstract reasoning from the Greek origins, but toned it down a thousand fold. Crazy riots because nobody excommunicated three guys dead 100 years? Then other riots when they did?
In most religious disputes, you can understand the point in question, the Arian heresy was basic that way. By high Byzantine times you can't even figure out what the argument is about...Like the single iota heresy where a 15 letter word different by a single i in the middle was what it was all about.

Heh. You can do that. The "recommended" procedure (not by VW, LOL) was to start the 12 volt engine, and then shove it in the bellhousing, and slowly draw up the bolts. The ring gear would mill its own relief, the bellhousing being soft magnesium alloy. I have seen it done; it works.

I'll second that, but a super pricey one may not fit what ails you. I am at a desk all the time, and get irritation in the leg/hip connection with a lot of chairs - need to do a lot of testing to find one with the right cush and depth of seat. Expensive ones tend to have more adjustment but not always. Gotta try it out if you can first even if you look silly sitting in a store for a while testing.

There are a few modernist Catholic Churches as well (both the San Francisco and Oakland Cathedrals, to name a couple), but most Catholic Churches still tend to be built in classical styles here. Some are also legit older than the protestant churches that came later.

For the "Russian" churches, being as the Tsar gave money on behalf of Russia, most of these churches ended up looking quite Russian, though a lot of them (think Alaska) were very, very modest. The onion dome was a must.
When one of the first (or the first) Serbian Orthodox Church in the US was established in Jackson, California, it was under the auspices of the Russians, so even it had the onion dome. Sometime later (perhaps the 1950s), long after it had come under the Serbian omiphore, the onion dome was replaced by a more "normal" looking steeple.

A few meet in odd places. There's a mission about an hour away that was borrowing space in a building that was mainly for the insurance offices there. There's a Serbian Church around here that uses a building that was an old fire house or something like that.
Charleston, South Carolina has a really beautiful new Orthodox Church there, but even in places where the congregations have built new churches and the buildings are "normal", there's something nice there too... What they've done in Post Falls & Bonners Ferry, Idaho, for example. The buildings are extendable, so if they need more space to grow into, they can do that.

I have a 3-bar-cross that I wore for many, many years (until the chain was about to break... need to replace that) and when I was working at the bowling center on the military base in Germany, I think there were only ever two people who said anything to indicate that they recognized what it was. One of them was a soldier named Tracy who was on rotation from Texas... Not only did he recognize it, but he pulled his silver 3-bar-cross out from under his BDUs and said "I have one too!"
Even close to 20 years later, I still try to remember to pray for him sometimes.

Does he have his electrical license, or is he working for somebody else? The electricians out here make stoooopid money. I almost wish I had gotten my license. You have to work in the field as an electrician and have the W2s to prove it. I worked in the field along side of electricians for almost 20 years and learned it, but it don't mean shit.

So..journeyman. I guess that means he has to work in the field for a bit before he can completely do his own thing? Jersey changed how shit happens. You had to work for somebody for 5 years I think, then you can take your test. Now you need 2 years of school, and a year out in the field to get a journeyman license, then another year in the field, or some shit. Either way, your hubs seems to be on his way.

Watch your supermarket for 'resets', where anything grain-based gets rearranged, due to... Okay. At least 50% of what you shop in the supermarket is a lease from a vendor. Goya, Bimbo, Pepsi, Coke. In Bakery, say Hostess, can't get ingredients to make Twinkies, so there are resets. Watch for it.
So this is MAJOR. Supermarkets run on margins of 1/10% on a lot of stuff, and well floor space. It's getting ugly.
Anyway, I got super busy over that.
Also, had four people quit on the shift, which is usual each week, so rather occupied.

All the stores around here have no canning supplies left at all. I don't know if demand went up, or supply problems. Maybe both.
One store, Ingles, which is a local chain, did have some lids, rings, and some citric acid and stuff. One of the managers said they just can't get them.
Canning goes up during hard times, but again, how much is increased demand vs how much is supply chain dysfunction, I don't know.

Miley and I canned 13 pints of peaches last night, stayed up nearly all night. That was some work, and sticky mess with the syrup and all that.
Pressure canner gaskets. We got an older Mirro canner. The gasket was sort of iffy. I pressure canned the peaches, rather than boiling water bath. It's 10 minutes at 5 psig. If you count the heat up and cool down time, it might not save any time really at all.
But the gasket was leaking at 5 psig, dripping a little bit of water all the time. At 10 psig, it will stop leaking.

I had fooled around with the old gasket (greasing it up, etc) and got it where it would hold as above, but I ordered a new one from Amazon. Chicom shit.
For the second batch of peaches last night, I said, hell, I'll put in the new gasket. Damn thing wouldn't seal. Wouldn't even try to build pressure, just let steam flow freely all around.
So, put the old one back in, and leaky at 5 psi, and do it. Then I put the new one back in, and run it no load, with 15 psi weight on. Damn thing seals slicker than owl shit, doesn't drip a drop. Gets up to 15 psi, and I hold it for 30 minutes before turning it off.
Apparently, the new gaskets have to be heated up to expand properly. Break 'em in, apparently.

I know for a fact, at one point, I would have done it. Not from 'depression' or some selfish shit but from terror of being unable to control what I was/am capable of, and it running out of control and harming those I love, loved, or was or am supposed to love.
That whole killing thing is hard to shut off.
You get good at it, and then what?
But that thing where if you go do a job, and I looked at it as a JOB, I have a recall of rolling over, with bullets clipping grass over my head while I was on the backside of a hill, and thinking, "Well, time to go back to work!"
