To be confirmed into the church, do you not need to confess and repent? I'm not Catholic, so, serious question.

I’m a Catholic convert. After 9 months of weekly classes on doctrine, Church history, etc, there is a confirmation service in which the priest asks these questions in front of the congregation. I believe this is true for cradle Catholics, who were baptized at birth, at their confirmation as well. The Church reserves confirmation into the church for those who have reached the age of reason, roughly 8-16 years old. It is discretionary at the diocese/parish level to determine if the individual is ready for confirmation.

V. Do you reject Satan?
R. I do.
V. And all his works?
R. I do.
V. And all his empty promises?
R. I do.
V. Do you believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth?
R. I do.
V. Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary was crucified, died, and was buried, rose from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father?
R. I do.
V. Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting?
R. I do.
V. God, the all-powerful Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and forgiven all our sins. May he also keep us faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ for ever and ever.
R. Amen.

Just tell Britain the boat occupants are white Anglo-Saxon Christians and they’ll reverse course and green light even more strikes.

A little over a year ago my sister’s neighbor was having a massive pine tree taken down on the property line. There was a bit of a feud over it.

Day of the Vandy-Bama game. My sister was in the kitchen when the tree crashed through their roof and into her dining room and kitchen. Knocked her out (not seriously injured). Turns out the neighbor hired her jackoff nephew to do it by himself. An 80 foot, 30 inch diameter pine tree. Insurance estimated it weighed about 35,000 pounds. They are just now finishing up repairs. Lived in an extended stay hotel for almost a year. Was a nightmare.

Some mountain pass in Yosemite, about 9,000 ft. I have a pic of me in July with snow on the ground.

Risking a backfire for sure. Might end up with mud on my face. We’ll see.

“Welcome back to reality, gumps.”

“Your glory days are behind you.”

‘You’ll learn to accept it one day.”

‘Saban’s not walking back through that door.”

frick all you miserable motherfrickers. We’re going nowhere before dragging our nuts across your faces one or three more times.
