  1. IFWIW, I think most evangelicals do not have enough understanding of the history of the churches to know what to call themselves. I don’t personally consider Baptist churches Protestant, but I can see the Baptists who do not know their history considering themselves such. And to be fair, reformed Churches are much closer to a protestant heritage, since Calvin would be a Protestant. (He also persecuted Baptists, so there’s some interesting mingling of doctrine there!)
  2. Why not Mother's Day? Why do dads get all the good gifts? ?
  3. Wow… never heard of a gift bag for visiting church before! Best I’ve seen (and it’s not common) is a small folder with visitor card, tract and church info, and a pen - which may or may not be fancy.
  4. People, please pray for us today! Now! Trudeau wants to enact the never-used Emergencies Act, which would give the federal government sweeping powers to quell any dissidence. This Act was the successor of the War Measures Act, which was what our government used to intern German- and Japanese-Canadians during WW2. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-premiers-cabinet-1.6350734?fbclid=IwAR2U4n5PxsWCtzL6TeOhitJFbrzbA73QAnivI3BSXcViv7oP3dfLivHZvFI https://theconversation.com/on-the-50th-anniversary-of-the-war-measures-act-we-dont-need-a-coronavirus-sequel-136918?fbclid=IwAR1EtQYlgNso07csWkj9aFP3dGArOOV2zNAemDTqjysG3aPRzJY0QYqG00I
  5. In Edmonton now, it is illegal to honk your horn during a convoy, and the police have begun to ticket those flying flags from their vehicles - which are a LOT of vehicles (never seen Canadians be so patriotic!). They are tactics to try to stop the protests.
  6. I heard some cool news today. Apparently the police at Parliament Hill had fenced off the War Memorial (cause, you know, all these ‘violent’ protestors might stick a Canadian flag on it or something ?). (Research the Terry Fox statue controversy to see what I’m referring to.) Well, a bunch of veterans got organized, came today and quietly and respectfully removed the fencing. They are now standing guard themselves at the memorial meant for them. ? Thats probably what the government is going for, but the conservatives will remain supportive. You see, the jobs and livelihoods of the unvaxed are already at risk (or lost). The cool thing about these protests and convoys is that there are a lot of vaccinated people - people whose jobs are safe! - supporting this. Because they see the loss of freedom and won’t stand for it any more.
  7. Lol! So, to return to topic, when the Canadians are fed up enough to start breaking the rules, you know something is really wrong! ??? Since these convoys have started, I have seen more maskless faces in the stores than ever before. And the masking rules are still in place for adults here - we are just finally beginning to stop complying with tyranny.
  8. This topic is to discuss the convoys and other efforts begun to draw attention to the severe infringements on our constitutional liberties and human rights. Although Covid was used as an excuse to remove these, this is not a Covid thread, and any degeneration into discussion of vaccines, treatment, or validity of Covid concerns will be deleted. Disclaimer over. Guys! I’m going to Ottawa, Lord willing, by the end of next week, to join the protest at Parliament! (If Ford hasn’t got the OPP to illegally arrest everyone by then.) Excited and sobered to be part of this moment of history.
  9. I’m not sure which video are you watching, but the convoy to Ottawa stayed there. They’re parked in the downtown core, and several parking lots around the city they were directed into. There is also a blockade at the Coutts border crossing, as well as at the ambassador bridge in Windsor. So it’s both. Nothing illegal about the downtown blockade… the border ones may be a wee bit. But the government Still. Refuses. To. Dialogue.
  10. As a lover of the English language, I refuse to accept bastardized redefinitions of perfectly good words. ? Yeah! They do! Ontario Provincial Police are now visiting people's homes who comment on the Freedom Convoy group on Facebook to provide them with state-sponsored literature on the 'right' way to peacefully protest. I can't even... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWcm4ENwJn8&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR3f6fFTbAJYUCX3qcYKaYvi3WA49b5kP8oh0qkweNi9dJgzL6n_zyMT-SA
  11. Exactly. "To provide immunity." Immunity means "the power to keep yourself from being affected by a disease." (Merriam-Webster). Covid vaccinations do not prevent from catching the disease, therefore you are affected by it, therefore you do not have immunity, therefore the vaccine is not a vaccine. Government & media are working hard to redefine things (anyone remember NewSpeak from 1984?), but that does not change the true meaning of the words. I just pulled over the Ivermectin thread (which was not started with a Covid focus, but Razor co-opted it), so apologies if this thread just got a bit confused.
  12. It is common in the history of disease treatment to discover that a drug used for one use has other applications as well. Of course humans shouldn’t take horse doses - the weight difference is too great. That’s why you calculate the weight difference and adjust the dose. (I do know people who took the full dose - and I’m still laughing at them.) I think I had Omicron a few weeks ago… it was getting a little nastier than I felt like putting up with, so I gave myself the doses of Ivermectin I was storing (horse medicine, of course). It killed it so fast!
  13. Actually, since the Point of a real vaccine is to provide immunity from a disease, vaccination should prevent hospitalization. As well as from getting ill by catching the disease in the wild. The Covid ones do neither, and as such are a failure as a vaccine. In Albert, where undocumented people are not really an issue, the percentage of v/unv in the hospital matches the percentage in the general population, proving that the v does nothing to prevent serious outcomes. The percentage of v to unv could be even higher, as hospitalizations from recently vaccinated are counted as unvaxed, thus hiding vaccine adverse reactions. Please stop regurgitating the government lies and Newspeak. It does not behoove a Christian to be so easily deceived by the world system.
  14. AAAANNNDD Edmonton intends to re-implement its own vaccine passport. And still wants kids over 2 to wear masks. This is ridiculous. Bunch of socialists running that city.
  15. Well, our politicians are starting to blink. Alberta ended the REP (vaccine passport for entertainment/restaurants/pools) last night. And the students won the right to not wear masks in school due to their walkout last Friday (SO proud of them!) I don't trust the shift... I am sure they are going to find excuses for bringing things back or not revoking their next promised steps. But for today, I am going to go SIT IN a Tim Hortons for the first time since September and have a coffee. ...and, although the rule is still in place, I will NOT be wearing a mask. I haven't worn one out and about since the truckers entered Ottawa.
  16. Don't worry, it won't. Test kits, whether they work or no, have zero influence on any adverse outcomes. If you're sick enough to need medical help, you'll know it. Please stop the fearmongering and senseless predictions of doom.
  17. In David’s time (and time’s previous), the Temple Mount was due north of the city, and nothing built out to the west yet either.
  18. Maybe it's just being poetical. If North is up and represented by the top of the mountain, then the sides are logically the sides. And it's a nice-sounding phrase. ?
  19. Both seem to refer to a specific place (Mt Zion?) rather than a generic mountain or even the direction of north.
  20. After the second straight weekend of protests in every major city across Canada - hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of people participating in rallies or convoys - besides the permanent protests at Parliament Hill and Coutts - Ottawa police are beginning to crack down on our peaceful truckers. They are confiscating the fuel stocks for the trucks (to run heaters), and arresting those with slip tanks (even empty!) and Gerry cans around the city they mean to freeze out the protestors who have been sleeping in their trucks (and protecting them from being towed). https://www.rebelnews.com/live_arrests_in_ottawa https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1315681645579098&id=503762199&m_entstream_source=timeline&ref=bookmarks The lines are being drawn more clearly. This isn’t even about pro-/anti- vax - a lot of the protestors are vaccinated! It’s about the right to choose, and the future of freedom in this country. Police in Alberta are beginning to ticket those trying to get supplies to the Coutts protestors. I am so afraid for my country right now - if we don’t win this NOW - I don’t think there will be a future option. Our dictator-wanna-be of a prime minister is still MIA - starting to hear rumors he’s hiding out in the States. (You guys can keep him!)

    Kale....

    A joke where the punchline has to do with annoying spouses and killing said spouses? No, that's not funny. Regardless of one's personal taste in humor.
