Church Day For The SDA Today

The Catholic Church hasn’t had ownership of St. Paul’s for decades. They made a lot of money as St. Paul’s was sold to Concord Pacific for $850 million. It is run by Providence Health Care, which has lots of Catholics on its board. They receive money from MSP for almost everything they do. They should comply with MSP standards.

I say this as a guy who attends Catholic Church most Sundays, admittedly mostly for Isa.

Must feel like business as usual.

Are you Catholic?

They should hire Anthony Fauci. They would lead in AIDS vaccinations.

Saw Fauci on tv the other day even Trump dared not fire him. I am a non denominational Christian but have been going to the local SDA church since April when posters they put up in town attracted my attention. I grew up in the UCC until my parents bailed circa Grade 10 was briefly attending Jews For JESUS in east van then years later went to the Kingdom Hall of JW’s for 3-4 years though not baptized knocked on doors though. Never been a catholic wonder what happened to the catholic private school girls that ended up at Incentive School know they are alive which is good.

Trump agenda was much more sophisticated than you perceive. The goal was not to fire him upon discovery of wrong doing. Everyone already knew he did wrong and the powers that be protected his career for their own nefarious purpose. He had years of documented evidence of that. The purpose was to expose him to the public where he would be forced to face it.

Really? What did they say? Come as you are?

So you were never exposed to musical instruments? Is that why your parents left?

I bet you had a lot of doors slammed in your face. Why didn’t you get baptized? Do you have a fear of water?

:woman_shrugging:

I briefly tried to play piano and guitar but gave up quick figuring I would rather read books and just listen to music.

Ppl rarely slammed the door in the face when doing the door to door thing but most were not interested.

The SDA poster was for Mindfit. It was about modern advances for treating mental illness.

Not exactly come as you are but I wore jeans and a t shirt yesterday one of the speakers invited me to his home for lunch which was nice. Met some ppl who are going to Beirut to be missionaries there at an American University. The parents did that in Haiti and Afghanistan. One of the 20 year attendees of the church was wearing shorts most ppl suit and tie variations.

Yeah, never really get the chance to share everything.

Oh, I can see the attraction

I meant spiritually and be changed.

I’m sure the suits took notice, evaluated and dealt with it.

Went to a nice service for a member of the congregation that died at age 83 after a fall recently a good turnout and nice food afterwards. I had talked to him a few times. Did not know he was active in A.A. and a cpl ppl talked how he sobered them up one guy stated he was so messed up on booze when the deceased man got him into treatment that the deceased man found the welfare cheque he lost. He is now sober over 20 years now the deceased was also a counsellir and helped a guy save his marriage after his wife told him to get help. He left behind 20 great children. Glad I went.

The other day at the Chevron in Ashcroft, BC Indo staffer was talking crime mentioned I used to know Murali in Richmond, BC which was true he used to know Reg and I at the same school. I said nice things about Murali but have idea what happened to him after 1983.

The three other customers stayed out of it. One had a blue Mt Hope t shirt which is a SDA retreat outside Hope BC on highway 7 which I have visited twice. He exited a few minutes before I did as I was waiting for chicken sliders. He and another White man were hanging around outside their vehicle as I exited I said, “ Keep reading the Bible” He gave a friendly response.

Found this notice on the bulletin board of the closed for some time convience store right next to the Chevron. It claims to be from the Chilcotin Band and asks anyone with lease agreements for Crown land to tell the Chicoltin Band within 30 days. It claims all this land now belongs to them. The NDP govt is appealing the recent court decision regarding land claims by Natives and the story has got media attention. John Rustad the opposition leader held some meetings nearby that made the local newspaper land claims and crime and homeless were the major issues brought forward. He wants the court case fast tracked to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Woke up this morning one of the Hispanic guys who works nearby and stays here was wearing a plain black hat. He was sitting in a chair right by the laundry and smoking a cigarette. As I crossed the parking lot to my vehicle he said, “foe”. They go to work in plain White vans with numbers in black outline by the drivers window. I thought regs stated you have to have the company name and gross vehicle weight on company commercial vehicles . All three vans don’t.

Couple nights ago he crossed the street to the Oasis Motel across the street pointing as he did so. Came back with a white pizza box. The restaurant there has been closed for some time. The bar is closed Sunday and Monday and last Saturday at 9 PM only 4 customers. I went to the door could not hear music the tvs were all on. There is a pot store good service. The one wing of the motel has been closed for years a faded For Lease sign. Broken windows on the top floor windows in the back broken and appliances dumped there. Windows at the side facing Robbie’s Motel are boarded up. Staff are freindly enough.

Desert Inn has a hiring sign . The attractive Indo

maid with large breasts says they need a maid.

Just drove home from Ashcroft, BC. RCMP truck was in the parking lot of the Oasis Motel White officer talking to someone with a green Dollarstore bag. Would have not noticed but the officer was pointing at his truck.

White guy 55+ was on second floor of the Desert Inn talking into a black cellphone. Mentioned some Surrey ppl he got it right. Mentioned a family member and got it wrong. Said Jay was not rat. I never met the guy but ppl in HA told me he was a pimp and other ppl told me he sold cocaine a woman I knew told her child in front of me that Jay beats up children like her she also made the hand signal for cocaine. At the Alberta Art Gallery Thé HA put on a very impressive display which unnerved me I was getting into the amoeba statue thing but decided to split. The two “patches” they sure look liked they could peel one made very insulting comments about Jay and name dropped a BC full patch who has been on the front page. They would have not known that the voices in my head mentioned the guy a lot way before that but mercifully had stopped. I walked into a restaurant at random and 6 EPS officers came in one saying Jay and his whole crew were rolling and they had their cell phones tapped. If I was in charge of EPS and one of my officers was telling a bunch of ppl in a restaurant 3 staff, myself, a big White guy with a red and white shirt and other customers about wiretaps and ppl rolling I would fire him. The other 5 EPS officers said nothing. Guy on cell phone said when it comes to HA there is nothing you can do. I mentioned that BFM had 3 guys in Kelowna he had no response. At Canada Day Cloverdale 4 girls said Jay danced naked at the HA clubhouse no one defended him or mouthed him off.

At the IDA in Ashcroft today around 5 PM a female said something about the Surrey RCMP and a relative of mine. No member of law enforcement has ever mentioned my family to me and I have met a few in a number of circumstances. Just lies from the skank.

Had good service at Grubmart the other night though the Indo young cashier female felt it necessary to say Jay is not a pedophile. Well beating up 7 year olds isn’t much of an improvement.

Bought breakfast at A and W for take out today. One guy long hair 55+ was saying HA this and HA that said there was lots of drugs in town I don’t believe that. He said I caused a lot of problems in Whalley I pointed out I was just one guy and 100,000 ppl lived in Whalley. Whalley has more murders than the other 5 districts of Surrey combined. MK Thé young one did her job adequatly and she apoligized said she was a trainee. Sign at counter gives all sorts of warnings to customers but 2 employees have flagrantly broke that themselves. Long hair all 3 times I see him at A and W he talks HA. Been in town 21 days only seen drug debris once encountered not one street drinker not one drug dealer compared to Hope BC it is a noticeable difference. The other customers at A and W and other staff stayed out of it. Graveyard staff always good.

Restaurants Canada today was quoted by Global News and CTV National News. Canadians are drinking 41% less and 3/4 are eating out less they claim. Aschroft, BC the restaurant across from IDA is closed with a for sale sign.

Miley Cyrus claims to be sober again. Party In The USA is one of her hits. She used to talk about doing E and wear panties that said , “ It won’t spank itself”.

Her song, “I can’t stop” is an anthem for self-indulgent drug addicted sluts on E. I quite like it.

I got into her music when they played it before a movie at the Scotia Theater in Vancouver. Liked her in Hannah Montana .

The mayor needs to condemn it and build something new.

There is no construction going on in this small town. I noticed today that the roof in the closed section has holes in it. Any grafitti tags are covered up though. Posted to my Instagram yesterday a police pickup truck in the parking lot there. Next to it is a closed since 2011 Chinese restaurant.
