Salvation Army is the only charity I donate to-other than the collection basket of my parish church when I go to Mass-I know they stand for Christian values, and that is important to me-I won’t even patronize any restaurant in SA, or any other business there-if my guy wants to eat out with me, we’re going to a local farm-to-table, and he will eat organic, drink Texas wine and like it-because those are my neighbors and good Christian people...

What....your church doesn't have an SVDP Conference (assuming from your use of the term "Mass" that you are Roman Catholic)??

No-this is a rural area-we even share a priest on a rotating Sunday basis with 3 other rural churches-there are only about 19,000 people in this entire county—that is about the number of people in the “real” city of Kerrville, which is in the next county-so our church is tiny as is our congregation, but our priest doesn’t ptrach the pope Francis socialist agenda-and we like that just fine...

The Lord has kept Salvation Army pretty clean over the years.

The long lines at Chick-Fil-A last week might have been in response to San Antonio’s announcement. Such things have happened before, more than once.
We were at the Chick Fil A in the Paramus Pk Mall during the first BUYcott in 2012, in hopelessly blue NJ. The place was packed! Interestingly, this CFA is one of the few original tenants in this mall, which opened in 1974.

I used to do the same....then they went "politically correct"....and chose the wrong side. Now they don't get Roccus' money.

“Men look at the outside, but God looks at the heart.”

To stand for bible morality is not chicken feed. Let us be careful not to boycott the garbage man because he gets his hands dirty in carrying out municipal sanitation.

My Baptist coworkers insist that Jesus turned water into grape juice at Cana, never mind what the chief steward said to the groom about wasting the best wine on guests who were already snockered.

Yeah... I don’t go for that line of theological oenology.

Martin Luther seems to have had a good idea of moderation. And Jesus personally got involved enough in food and drink celebrations that He was accused of being a winebibber (and a glutton for that matter). Too much Welch’s? It doesn’t sound like it, in an age where refrigeration didn’t exist unless, maybe, you were like Rome and were powerful enough to get slaves to bring ice in.

I wouldn’t argue, but just let the grace of God make appropriate testimony. Moderation, whose exact definition depends in part on a personal toleration for alcohol, is great. Overindulgence (for whatever reason) is bad and a sin.

With tongue in cheek, the Old Lutheran website offers this:

And did not Jesus declare at the Last Supper that He “would partake no more of the fruit of the vine” until His mission in this our world was complete?

And before that did He not “take the cup filled with wine” and consecrate it with the words, “This is My blood”?

The temperance movement of the 19th Century addressed real problems about alcohol in American society (a civil war can have that effect) but was it necessary to alter the meaning of Scripture in order to strengthen their argument?

There are those in Texas - and on this forum - who want to blame this all on the California influx.

California was once a Republican stronghold - before Ronald Reagan betrayed his adopted state with the Apocalyptic Amnesty. California produced two terms each for Reagan and Richard Nixon, native Californian.

Texas, on the other hand, has always had a powerful Democrat component. The evil Lyndon Baines Johnson (he of the sinister, subversive Johnson Amendment) and his equally evil political machine are alone proof of that.

The truth is that, before the disastrous Immigration and Nationality act of 1965, and the Immigration and Reform Act of 1986, California was more generally and consistently conservative and Republican than Texas. San Francisco and Hollywood were the exceptions, not the exemplars.

Texans have long tolerated Democrat corruption in their state, which has contributed to their current danger of turning “blue” - and that is not the fault of Californians, past or present.

Alcohol sterilizes. That was one of the reasons for using fermentation.

Like maybe Hawaii or the Caribbean or some place like that?

(For god’s sakes - SA is a pit. I know - I did live there for a short time -3 months - way too long!)

It isn’t San Antonio, it’s the idiots we keep electing, the self-replicating, politically incestuous cabal that grows people like Trevino, the Castros and Nirenberg. In a city that’s 65% Latino, the Dems have it way too easy. Thank God there’s no longer a straight ticket option - we lost a lot of good conservative judges last time.

The Left just ruins cities if left untreated checked...I have to think district maps and R’s moving out or just not voting caused much of this.

Don't just squawk about it;

Eat here!

We'll donate a portion of our PROFIT to the Salvation Army.

In ancient times, there was a biblical city also starting with an ‘S’ ...
 
 
 
 
We are living in a Genesis 19:9 world...

"Get out of our way,” they replied.
“This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge!
We’ll treat you worse than them.”
They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

Go swim in the river, rent a canoe-or visit the antique shops from Pipe Creek to Kerrville, the apple orchard town of Medina,
