Folks were turning over family land, retirement, money, homes etc....they were going to build a communal center etc...Fortunately I was pushed out, as I was poor and too young to know any better, I was away from my family and just looking to belong..to something..
It felt very like a cult...but I do see how the brain washing happens..

I got kicked out of my church after dotard worked with Mother Russia to steal the election. Fucking traitor.

Anyhow, since then I went from devout catholic, to a pagan loving heathen, who hangs out with Muslims and gay people forcing everyone to have abortions everyday, smoking weed, watching unicorns fly, (cause of my evil spells, I am a witch, bday 10/30 = witch, why I ever tried to be a catholic is beyond me.), chanting, All Hail Satan!

Is bacon included with the pancakes?

But isn't there a sect that believes all meals are the same meal and they are all Pan-cake? Pan-cake for all meals sounds good if they all have bacon.

That is making my mouth water. We are getting a new eatery called "I Love Bacon" and I can't wait. They say it started as a food truck and is moving into a food hall in our town which is going to be like a food court without the mall attached.

I want some of the crispy pieces in the pic above dipped in chocolate. That would be so good.

I would have still made bacon. Yes, even with the sausage, (which I love almost as much as bacon). Bacon is just so good. Sadly after I had my first kid my body doesn't do eggs well. Which sucks because I love eggs. But the upside, unlimited amounts of bacon. Being a heathen is so awesome. I can eat bacon and eat it on fridays and not care.

never been a part of Catholicism or mainline Protestantism -- it was a fad in 19th century American evangelical circles, and for some of them it still is relevant even though obviously every predicted date has come and gone.

We had a few nutjob relatives who firmly believed that the rapture would happen and Jesus would sail away into outer space with them as "these are surely the end times" (said in different decades of course). They all firmly believed it until (and including) the day they died. Every generation seems to produce new believers who seem to think yet they'll be the special ones.
