Yeah, but in the eyes of some, any COGOP pastor, retired or not, is a sinner because they did not keep "walking in the light" and leave for one (or other) of the various TCOG (or now ZACOG) branches. :shock:


The "word" is that once they chose to stay, they would allow any type of sin to be in and lead their churches. So ...........................................

who was responding to Figilife.

It's okay, though, I will accept the blame. It's my fault for choosing to continue to respond to off-topic posts. :)
Thanks, Brent "RamboPreacher" Hoefling

Good grief, let's all just congratulate Rahab!!!

A few years ago, my husband & I were on a 12 hour trip. Stopped in Kentucky & each bought a Coke & a $1 lottery ticket. The jackpot was about $100 million. We talked for about 5 or 6 hours about what we would do with the money if we won. We didn't, but the conversation is priceless in my memory.

Rahab, I hope you play many more times & win millions....think you deserve it for carrying everyones mail in all that bad weather over the years!
The overall intelligence of the earth remains constant...unfortunately, the population increases daily!

AMEN!

Every once in a blue moon I'll spend a dollar on a ticket and I NEVER win a thing!! :lol:

I played the slot machines one time when I was in the Marines. I lost two dollars and stopped! My buddy came in with ten, won 90, and lost 91...so he says that he only lost a dollar....but I argued that he lost 91 cause he could of left with that! :wink:

Even Catholics play the lottery

Postby deb » April 5th, 2008, 4:44 am

A few lucky Catholics will see pope in person
Of the 8,000 who entered a lottery to get a slot, 400 were selected.


Regarding the VA lottery:

In Fiscal Year 2007, the Virginia Lottery had
sales of over $1.3 billion. Of this total, the
Lottery contributed $437.1 Million, or 32%, to public education grades K-12. 57.4% went
back to players in the form of prizes, 5.6% went
to the retailers who sell Virginia Lottery tickets,
and 5% went to operational expenses.

Also, if you itemize your taxes, the amount you spend can be deducted, as long as you also claim the amount you won. Therefore Rahab, you will need to claim the $600 as income on your taxes next year. If you itemize, start keeping track of what you spend by saving your tickets so that you can offset the winnings.
Congratulations on your win and for helping to support public education!

Isn't this great! HOPE in Georgia, which is sponsored by the lottery, has paid for many educations. We were the first Lottery for Edcuation I think. NC has one too. Ga's HOPE paid for the vast majority of mine.
