Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
IME, every Christian Church does Communion in one form or another. I'd actually be startled if one didn't, as it's sort of the central sacrament of the faith.
Growing up in the UCC (where denomination policies are not so much rules as guidelines. Suggestions, really), well, every church also does it differently.

This is also my experience.
All my past Protestant churches have. Bread and teeny glasses of wine. They're passed around on trays rather than having people come up for them, IME.
That is my experience as a Congregationalist as well. Sometimes once a month, sometimes every week, depending on the church.
It's always amazed me since I learned of it that many Baptist churches celebrate the Eucharist with... grape juice?
There are times when I am very glad I attended a church towards the liberal-end of the Presbyterian spectrum in my youth, because we were actually expected to think.

Mormons use water. They don't drink alcohol, and when the church started, unfermented grape juice wasn't available. Doctrines and Covenants says "it mattereth not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink when ye partake of the sacrament, if it so be that ye do it with an eye single to my glory."
Can't be wine. Because alcohol is the Devil.
Very good for them. Does Simpson, I wonder, need to backpay what was already given to him?
He probably would, if he had received any of the money. As I recall, the publisher paid $800,000 to a Florida corporation which was owned by OJ's kids. I think that Goldman probably asserted that this was a sham by Simpson to avoid paying the judgment (which is a no-no). However, I'm not sure that this will be successful where children and not the debtor, own the corporation.

Some of us still learned how to think.
Happy birthday, Cass!
The Simpson thing confuses me. Mostly because I don't think I paid much attention to the results of the civil case. But frankly, no matter who the money goes to, I have no interest in reading that book.

I missed a leap in here somewhere. Where does the non-thinking come in?
