William F Rushby commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'Biblical Inerrancy Watch: the Evangelical Free Church of America'William F Rushby commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'Biblical Inerrancy Watch: the Evangelical Free Church of America'"After I wrote my first reaction to Doug's Bennett's piece on having an Evangelical Free Church leader speak on church planting, I wondered: 1.if Bruce Redmond is a Swede; 2.what did he actually talk about; and 3.did he say that he endorsed…"
William F Rushby commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'Biblical Inerrancy Watch: the Evangelical Free Church of America'"I don't find anything very remarkable about this statement of faith in the Bible. If I were preparing a statement, I wouldn't express myself the same way, but this confession of faith is probably less shocking to me than some of…"

William F Rushby commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'More on Evangelicalism, Fundamentalism and the Bible'"Challie's view sounds like cessationism. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessationism
Cessationalism has been around for a long time. It holds that all other communication from God and the miraculous gifts…"
William F Rushby replied to Howard Brod's discussion 'Let's Get Real' in the group Liberal Quakers"Hello, Cotswold Quaker!
Sociologists call the tendency for power to become concentrated in the hands of a few "the iron law of oligarchy". This problem is especially acute in voluntary organizations. As I recall, Elizabeth…"
William F Rushby left a comment for Quaker Gregory"Is Gregory your surname? My grandmother was a Gregory. I also have Australian ancestry, but on her husband's side. He originated in New Brunswick (eastern Canada), where some of his Australian ancestors had settled."

Dairy Barn
"This is how dairy cattle were housed in the wintertime in northeastern New York when I was young. The interior of the barn was very comfortable, even when the temperature outside was close to zero (F)."

William F Rushby commented on Doug Bennett's blog post '“Amo” or “Credo” by L. Willard Reynolds (1968)'"My first reaction to this essay is that it poses a false dichotomy: either belief or love, but apparently not both at once. Love is a value which calls for further interpretation before it can be implemented. How does one know what is…"
William F Rushby commented on Alice M Yaxley's blog post 'What does Sabbath look like with you?'"We have observed Sunday as a "day of rest" for as long as I can remember. However, when one lives on a livestock farm and heats with wood, there is still quite a bit to do, even on Sunday!
To complicate matters even more, we live…"
Paula Roberts replied to William F Rushby's discussion 'Darlene Osborn Rushby Obituary'"Friend William,

Tina M Pinzone said… Hello William! I just can't thank you enough for your recommendation!! I'm so excited! I have not had a place of worship for years. It has left me lonely. It also sounds like my 13yr old daughter Grace will be excited as well, when I show your comment to her. I'm in Nashua, I'm not sure how far they are from me. I can't wait for Monday so I can call them! Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart, for taking the time to share all this with me. :) Have a wonderful weekend, my Friend. Blessings and peace, Tina

Allison Wolff said… I've heard of people having good luck with Jiaogulan and blood pressure. I'm going to be using it soon for my muscles and tendons...especially tendons. I put a lot of wear and tear on my hands and forearms, and I'm hoping this can help me periodically. We also used it at the equine animal hospital I worked at for recovery from surgery. I don't know how it interacts with medicine, but it might be worth looking into.
