I'm with you! It seems like there are a few groups in the area that are either trying to get a foothold or have just never seen big membership numbers. It would be great to build a coalition of all of these groups to organize serious action. Places like the GLO Center, Connecting Grounds, Eden Village, PFLAG, PSL, DSA, etc.

Who cares that there's homeless children in Springfield? This woman can stand on her tip toes now! God has priorities.

John Lindell is a megalomanic who is addicted to be worshipped as if he is Jesus Christ himself.

Hyvee and Price Cutter usually seem to have sodas I have never seen before, but I don’t have much knowledge in this area. Their selection may be fairly pedestrian for all I know. I’ll second the Jones recommendation. Their green apple is my favorite soda I’ve ever had.

Perfect use of this meme!

This is just to say “you’re going to introduce people to the Christian faith” rather than bring back deceased people

“Death” or “raising people from the dead” is interchangeable with “raising people from a dead life/raising people up” pretty much! Just taken out of context it sounds weird lol but I’ve heard this a ton it’s not meant to literally mean necromancy

I am not a legal scholar, but it sounds like he is just following the law. He doesn't endorse a specific political campaign.

The only way would be to suggest a law change to congress.

No it isn't. Someone getting a huge raise at work is not considered a religious miracle. Someone claiming their deity heard their fervent prayers and regrew bones, muscle, tendons, skin, nails in a species that is proven to not have the ability to spontaneously regenerate those things . . . welp, that requires proof.

If you’re ever in KC, come see us at KC Soda in the city market. I was looking to open a place in Springfield pre pandemic but Covid kind of messed up our plans.

Well, maybe we can take a page outta France's book right now, js 🤷‍♂️

But for real, I definitely understand being engaged in multiple jobs that take all of your time. Maybe you can start by educating your co-workers about organizing and sticking together?

We will never be able to organize as long as everybody has to keep working two or more jobs just to survive. I agree with you though

The Drew Lewis foundation is pretty interesting, they provide low-income residents an affordable option to start home-ownership, as well as other aspects to the community.

I definitely understand the sentiment that people have their lives to take care of, I just want to know what the limit is for people before they feel like they have nothing left to lose. I know that's morbid, but I want to try and help people before something like that happens

Those toes are going to be holy relics

They moved to the Old Time Pottery lot

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes, dead is better.

Yeah he didn’t regrow toes!! It’s wrong if this church to claim toes and kidneys can grow back and to claim to raise the dead! They told parents of a 2 year old they could bring the child back from death! That’s fucking terrible!

I’m with you on this entirely. There is a local Food, Not Bombs group that I kinda do wish was more active but it’s nice that they are around. If there’s any more local non profit community services in Springfield I’d like to know about them. It’s just hard for everyone to get together sometimes though because we all have lives we have to take care of but I’m always down to support certain causes and do what I can on my end.

I think they've jumped the shark.

There is a mobile soda place usually parked at ace hardware on Campbell. I thinks it’s called Fizz n sips. They have all kinds of off the wall stuff.
