Book Clubs
I've heard that people join "book clubs" where they meet up to "discuss" a book they've supposedly read. They will say things like
ErmintrudeWith novels unavailable from Landover booksellers these clubs, which are nothing more than pickup joints, have very limited opportunities to thrive. Should we also purge The Novel from any lending libraries still operating? Bookclubs are not above rehashing old novels, as you can see from the sorts of comments actually reading the things is superfluous, just so long as there's a volume to clasp "I'm just going to out bookclub meeting.." and it's all downhill from there. Thank you for your consideration. |
Re: Book Clubs
I'm not quite sure, so I voted all of them to be safe. :dntknw:
I don't see the purpose of bookclubs where there's perfectly good Bible Study. I know that obsessions are an unhealthy condition, therefore, this elusive "The Novel" sounds like a Dan Brown work of Satan to me. :nononono: Besides, who has time to read when there's work to be done around the kitchen? P.S. I'd watch out for that Aubrey. They sound like they have mischief on their mind. |

I think a book club is a euphemism for something that women do when they get together. I'm not really sure what it is.

Dear Sister Mitza,
Book Clubs are Satanic. This is not immediately apparent but if we look at the issue through the Divine Lens of Creation Science we can easily see, how the concept "Ladies' Book Club" is just an ill-disguised effort to hide the real agenda of this travestous practice. First example: https://s26.postimg.cc/63vzho149/bookclub.gif Duckbill? A Duckbill dinosaur? Of the Created dino kind that thrived only a little while (Job 40:15 tells us all that there is to know about dinosaurs) after Noah's Flood. This animal playing one of the vilest instruments available, the oboe? A woodwind blow-horn that simulates oral gratification. And all this in the name of "as Book Club". https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/a...4-thickbox.jpg Example 2: https://s26.postimg.cc/c4toeqvg9/bookclub2.gif I do admit that consuming immature children is sometimes approved in the Bible: Leviticus 26:29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. https://ethicsalarms.files.wordpress...baby.jpg?w=500 Still, a club dedicated to cooking children just because the wives are bored and find the babies dull is a bit extreme, don't you think? However, as always I vote for the option that leaves the ultimate decision to our Pastors, wise men who might well establish a book club dedicated to reciting the KJV Bible on a constant basis. Now that's a club that I would attend although it would have only very minor effects on the my daily routines, as I would be reading the Glorious KJV anyway. Yours in Christ, Elmer :bye: |
Re: Book Clubs
I am all in favour of clubbing the deserving with books.
A police officer friend of mine says it leaves less bruising. https://static9.depositphotos.com/15...-with-book.jpg |

Re: Book Clubs
It's nice to know someone can still find work as actor for stock photos with such requirements as "30 year old man with bland questionable fashion sense cheerfully administering discipline with heavy Bible" and "middle aged be-speckled jewish lady feigning surprise" :lol:

Re: Book Clubs
I'm trying a new recipe for lemon chicken. One of the worst literary genres is the "space opera" also known as science fiction. Usually set in the future, but could be set in ancient Mesopotamia or Great Zimbabwe, as a category dealing with "issues" this rubbish qualifies as great literature. By book club standards. Purists, such as second wave feminist English professors or NPR literary critics, will probably disagree but just because The Novel deals with a few specific if hackneyed issues does not mean that its 20th century equivalent is junk penmanship. After all, during the 19th century issues addressed in novels were themselves regarded as nonsense designed to fill empty heads with idiotic ideas. I am using lemon grass, water chestnuts, sliced ginger, bamboo shoots and sweet onions.
BANG! With the arrival of the 20th century new social orders erupted from the pages of novels in every way opposed to the message of The Bible. Within that century new "rubbish" literatures developed insinuating that there was no Heaven above us for any God to look down from. Therefore, it was claimed, He did not look down and so couldn't see what we did. Fantastic adventures were proposed, and just as The Novel emerged from Samuel Richardson's Pamela written in a previous century, so this new genre emerged from ideas circulated during the Victorian era and with equally catastrophic results. When cooking in a tajine it is recommended to use no more than ½ doz. ingredients. Nowadays, with professors sneering at space operas and retreating into cloisters where defunct "novels" are discussed, new book clubs have sprung up where new anti-Biblical ideas are examined. And in the 21st century so called "scientists" advocate actually implementing them! Look what happened before!! Will the same thing happen again? If so, as seems to be the case, then the scribblings inspiring them must be considered Great Literature too. That is an open door for new heresies and for new societies based upon them. As such these also must be eliminated from Christian reading lists and parents need to watch out for titles from the last century and from the physicists who promote them, in this. After cooking I'm allowing 48 hours for savoury notes to amalgamate, in the tajine, before serving. I hope this is helpful for everyone concerned about the direction society is headed and for purging unsuitable titles from their own and their children's bookshelves. And apps. Be vigilant: speak out. Jesus is watching what everyone reads. Satan is watching too. Joshua 24:14-15 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. |
Re: Book Clubs
My wife Annie rather enjoys going to book clubs. Are there any meetups for Christian book clubs in my area for her to attend? I am asking so that she may join. She used to meet up with the other folk from church at Barbara's home but Barbara recently passed away due to her falling down the stairs and the estate being taken over by her son. Her friends are also interested in finding a safe place to continue the book club meetings.

Landover has a "Book Club." It has one Book - KJV1611, it is free and open to all. I think it was Eusabius of Caesarea who said, "If it is not in the Bible, it is is a lie; if it is in the Bible, it is a duplication." |
Re: Book Clubs
A lot of the literature from what I can tell from over here are articles about why abortion is a sin, several books written by Donald J Trump, and The KJV Bible mixed in there along with our tithing records for our church. If I may, may me and my wife join you all at your congregation for a KJV Bible study? My wife makes a mean apple pie and mashed potatoes (not together of course hahaha).

I'm not suggesting you're riff-raff, or swine of course, Mr. Thumper, but until the Department of Faith conducts a thorough investigation, including surveillance of you, your immediate family, your extended family, your fellow church goers, neighbors (past and present), coworkers (past and present), childhood babysitter, banker, travel itinerary, computer habits, spending habits, etc, etc, etc, we can't simply change our policy of including only the worthwhile just because you ask nicely. After all, have you ever met a nice Jew? They can be charming. I think they learn it in their synagogues in order to lead astray those who do not know their Bible. Not that I'm accusing you of being a Jew. But how would I know? People aren't always honest on the internet. |
Re: Book Clubs
Every time I try to post my address or phone number for someone to help me with matters on this forum, it gets automatically retracted because of JesOS it says. My Intro post is showing this. Perhaps does your church have one so that me and my wife can drive or fly down to visit? After doing research, it simply seems like a Christian paradise. I would consider it a pilgrimage for God!

I read your list. Obviously no "church" having "fathers" is Christian v.i. But something I'd like clarified is: what's your definition of a Saint? Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. |
