I was wrong and the orders went out not to allow the 2:00 a.m. shutdown and ballot creation. And the orders were followed.
But as the song says "Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way." -

Incidentally: It is not just George Thorogood. It's not even George Thorogood and the Destroyers. It is George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers. -

You appear to have me confused with someone who cares. -

"We are rolling out a new update that will prevent non-pro users from accessing content that is more than 2 months old and logged out users no more than one week old. PRO users will still be able to access all historical content. We are doing this to combat bot scraping from our enemies and from various AI services that are stealing this data to train on without our permission. This scraping impacts site performance and weighs on our already limited server infrastructure. We will see how this goes and adjust things accordingly.
The vast majority of users will notice no difference to their experience as most people only care about content being posted within the last week or so. We really need to continue expanding our infrastructure and can only do that with support from people like you. Please consider making a donation to help Gab cover the costs of our existing infrastructure and so we can continue to expand it:" -

As long as tradition does not contradict scripture there's no reason not to follow it. The Bible does not contain all of Christ's teachings, as John clearly states:
"And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." -

A Christian should want to be married in their local church. Neither is a funeral ceremony.
You misunderstand the nature of the ceremonies. They're not just for the individuals involved. They're for the whole of the church to recognize and celebrate or mourn the event. -

Nope, nope, nope.
You absolutely *have* to have standardized marriage and funeral services.
It's also a very good idea to have a standardized service for welcoming newcomers and children who have grown into the church, but I'll grant that's not absolutely necessary.
Given your structure above, I'll agree that ordination and confession aren't actually required. -

Well, this is pure guesswork. I cannot know the mind of God.
But my guess would be that while the leadership was corrupt the local parishes were still performing the duties Christ wanted: Performing the sacraments and teaching the Gospel.
I don't think that's the case now. I think the majority of all the clergy in all the mainstream denominations have been corrupted and no longer teach the true Gospel. If you can find one who isn't that's great, but recognize that he's either going to be in a small denomination outside the mainstream or he's fighting an almost certainly losing battle against his own superiors. -

One thing I continually come back to that the 1928 Anglican Book of Common Prayer absolutely gets right is that the Church is the "very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people". -

All is going as expected. They really thought there would be no repercussions for turning on the people. LMAO. -
