I have to admit, the first thing that came to my mind was that maybe Audrey Hale harbored ill feelings against that school for how they handled her sexuality uncertainty when she attended it. I can't imagine they were even-handed about a kid whose very existence was anathema to them (if they are typically "Christian").

I can't find it again. I thought it was the friend she texted... anyway it will come up-- it included a firm hour she had to be in the house every night. And nothing about the friend she'd lost. I'm interested-- wondering if it will change the tone of the RW"s in any way.

That's a silly one right there. Ask it anytime after a shooting.

Have you seen their willingness to adore anyone who's trashed some Democrat in an article? They'll praise him for his service and call him 'sir' and bless him and say they're glad there are still men like him in this country! Just for some article that's wrong and foolish. I can't help feeling they are sucking up to something that isn't even Trump, that soothes them. Even a Black writer can produce this reaction. It beats me.

It's so beautiful-- the King James. I don't know if they were trying to make it that way, but it's like nothing else, for sure.

Maybe Hawley blew him off, also?

Yes, when I first heard Presbyterian, I was surprised when I heard that as while I am now an atheist, I grew up as a Presbyterian as my mother's father was a minister.In fact, because he was so much NOT a fire and brimstone kind of guy, and basically just preached to be nice to others, that he partly led me to become an atheist.

But that church in Nashville is not in the 'normal' group of Presbyterian churches, but in a very evangelical group more like Southern Baptists.

On one of the networks yesterday they showed a video of Hale at a college graduation ceremony where they were clearly presenting as a male with short hair and a tie, but they did not say what year this was from.

Yes, singular they and them goes back to exactly the year 1400, and ir was used all the way into the 1800's when the Victorians got, well, all Victorian about it, and essentially banned that usage.
