My house is surrounded by tall trees - natural lightning rods.

One about 60 feet from the house got hit 2 years ago.

That BOOM! will wake you up!

Romulus is perhaps the most right wing, traditionalist Catholic on FR.

You buzz off too.

I’m tired of talking with snot-nosed Democrats.

A strip of bark 4-5 inches wide and 70 feet long was blasted off.

It must not have been a huge amount of current.

I remember seeing a large tree on Lyman Ward Military Academy’s campus that was struck by lighting and EVERY shred of bark was blasted off the tree. The tree looked like an ivory-colored piece of land corral.

I don’t know you and don’t believe I’ve ever discussed anything with you before.

You appear to be one of those losers who comes out of nowhere trying to attack people just so you’ll look tough. There are a few of you on here who pollute the site with your insecurities. I come here to discuss things with like-minded people, not to be hassled by some random keyboard warrior. I couldn’t care less what you think of me. *You* addressed *me.*

Now, as I said, I’m tired of you little girls with your junior-high insecurities. Go ahead and sling your insults, have the last word and thump your lil’ chest. But this is the last attention I’ll pay you, even though I know you crave it. You and your ilk are a mere nuisance.

Unwad them.

All I did was point out inconsistancies in the response that certain replies received.

If you were insulted over facts posted, I cannot claim responsibilty.

How did you discern that I am insecure?

Traditions notwithstanding, the Bible nowhere says to pray for the dead in general; Paul DID instruct to always keep on praying for all the Saints, and made no condition as to them being living or dead, though, so you CAN legitimately claim the Bible instructs prayer for the departed Saints of God, just not for the dead, generally.

Look, I’m not in the camp of some who seem to despise Catholics and Catholicism; I don’t talk trash about them or their traditions. But I must assert this immutable point: there is no Biblical support for the claim that the Magisterium has standing before The Throne of God to elevate Tradition to the level of bona fide Scripture; that’s extremely dangerous “sinking sand” as it institutes a post-Mosaic, non-Aaronic priesthood that illegitimately supplants the clear New Testament Order of Melchizedek wherein Christ Jesus serves PERMANENTLY (Hebrews 7:24) as our ONLY High Priest, and ALL SAINTS have membership in the priesthood of all believers (I Peter 2:4-9).

If there’s ONE PRAYER I pray for ALL Catholics it is that they would ALL become avid READERS of The Bible, and by that I mean ALL of the Bible; NOT merely the Daily Readings.

If you complete the daily readings each day for three years, you will read 15% of the Old Testament, and 71% of the New Testament, which is an OK start, but that means you will still be ignorant of 85% of the Old Testament, and 29% of the New Testament, and I submit to you that — for all who truly profess faith in Christ — this is unacceptable no matter what name is on the sign out in front of your church.

OPEN BOOK; INSERT FACE.

Maxwell Smart’s little red sports convertible was a V-8 powered Sunbeam Tiger Mark I that Don Adams personally owned. Those little things could pull a quarter mile in under 13 seconds; no slouch of a performance in that heady muscle car-dominated era.

You appear to have made some (incorrect) assumptions about my religious beliefs.

I’ll discuss religion with some on this site, but not with the people on this thread. I come to FR to take a break from the leftist media and their camp followers that seem to infest just about everything these days. I seek like-minded people with whom to exchange thoughts, opinions and general conversation.

I’m weary of the insecure little ankle-nippers who just hang around wanting to sow dissent and start trouble. There’s plenty of that on places like Facebook or Twitter if that’s your thing. I don’t even want to talk about the weather with that lot, let alone religion. I *will* call them out when they’re acting like jerks and if you don’t like that, well that’s too bad.

I’ll pray for them/you that they/you will let go of the anger and hate that drives the desire to attack people or come off as tough guys.

Yeah!

The wimpy Opels only had 4 cylinder, 1.9 liter engines that could at best put out about 77 HP.

Fate has caused me to have 4 1/2 of them out in my barn.

Oh, bitter fate; to have a few Opels too many.

We have a few Opel fans over in the Auto Restoration Group at mewe.com. I’m sure your holdings would garner some interest.
