'Not Fade Away'
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.
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?
Post 'n' run:
Happy, happy birthday Cass! May you have pretty men and pretty cars on your TV all day.
Happy Father's Day to the Buff-dads, new and old!

Instead of taking it all on faith, so to speak. Feeling free to speak up and ask if a particular practice makes any sense, like substituting grape juice for what clearly was intended to be wine. Thinking about whether transubstantiation is literal or symbolic (and being respectful of other's opinions about it).
