Maybe it’s a flashback to Sinatra days, but

Hey, would anybody reply to a new thread where you give snotty replies to titles of other threads that you just didn’t want to spoil by replying to in the thread itself?

I recall such a thread from a while back and it got pretty crazy.

There’s one about intelligent dogs that begs to be addressed with some snark.

While scanning MPSIMS, I thought came across this:

“My Hatred of Jews is Raw and Unmatched”.

It looks like the perfect thread for a flame-war! Then I looked again:

They could start by improving the flavor and texture of those communion hosts. I hear the kids like spicy foods now. 😃

These can only mean carrot fit jeans like they were popular in the early 80s. Please don’t let them get a comeback! I’m still shuddering at the thought that I had two pairs of them when I was 14. It also shatters my punk credibility. 😆

I have no idea what you’re talking about. (I don’t have time to read a thread about them.) Me? I wear Levi’s 501s. I’ve worn them since I was a kid (except when my mom wrongly bought me Sears Toughskins). My wife gave me a pair of 505s that didn’t fit her, and I have a black, and a blue, pair of 511s. In the storage unit, I have a pair of Diesels I bought in the '90s, and another ‘fashion’ pair of jeans, whose brand I don’t remember. I’m fine with button-front 502s.

It can’t/ The Church recipe specifically calls for Unleavened Bread.

Although it doesn’t have to taste like the Satellite Wafers candy shells. One community I was in used parishoner-provided honey cakes, scored and sliced. KInd of like having Communion with Beorn.

Well, i messed up. I intended to merge the threads keeping them in date order, but i missed the option, and just copied a bunch of old posts at the end of this thread.

I don’t think i can fix it now. I guess i should have gone for the “close the other one” option. Enjoy the links to funny old titles, i guess.

Not so.

> _ **Does the bread at Holy Communion need to be unleavened?** _  
> Either leavened (in witness to the resurrection) or unleavened (in witness to the cleansing power of the Holy Spirit) may be used.

>
> Holy Communion in the UMC is an open table, meaning all are welcome. It signifies God's grace, forgiveness, and the unity of believers, celebrated with bread and juice.
