Well, people may not believe this, but that's one of my favorite things in life.

Wow! We are old!! 1960s, 1970s to the glory days of Pennycost in the 80s. Cool. Defend your friend, that is meritable, and nice. Nothing on this forum bothers anyone who isn't a poster on this forum (unless your Steve Pixler) so, your friend Phil is sleeping peacefully. Again, remember we are just your imaginary friends. .

Sis, there are actually only five posters, and one of them posts under multiple nicks.

The lurkers are primarily bots.

If you believe that's trashing, oh well.

And Robert Morris may be a good at branding and acquiring churches to build his Gateway empire, but the dude is lost as lost can be.

I hear the frapps from the church's cafe are really good though.

Period. And reserve the Frapps for Starbucks, Jesus doesn't have a coffee shop. Im beginning to believe that's a spirit also, that's how you know if someones infected. When the coffee shop is erected, they've gotten to close to the liberal trinitarians. Im going to mark that one down.

Amen, when you start selling them Barbeque in the church then you have a problem. Jesus got well offended about His Father's house being turned into a flee market, I'm sure He would feel the same about a brewery. But then again it would have to truly be His house for this to even matter. Just because it claims to be on the shingle outside the door means nothing. The condition of the pulpit and the management of this church in question, sound exempt from that being His house any longer.

Lol as long as it isnt a store for Peanut Brittle that is open year around, I don't think that's out of the question. But for you to put a Starbucks or a brewery in your church 365 days a year that's crazy. But you are right Apostolics and their Peanut Brittle will never die! I've yet to see them sell it year round though, maybe for a couple of Sunday's.

I know of brothers who had some killer peanut brittle, and they sold it year round. Krispy Kremes by the boxes.
