Your priest isn't a liason to God. Damn, son, are you just stupid?

I never said he was, so no, I’m not the one being stupid here.

Says the guy trying to compare his priest to John the Baptist.

Can you quote where I compared a priest to John the Baptist? I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you’re a Billy Bob Baptist

and your baby's head sprinkling priest is NOT a prophet.

I never said they were. You said Jesus wasn’t baptized by some guy pretending to be a liaison to God, which is quite literally false. John the Baptist was precisely that. I was making a response to a specific claim you made.

Also, pouring (affusion) is usually the mode in the west, and is permitted by the Didache, though immersion is preferred and still widely used, especially in the east.

He wasn't sprinkled as an infant by some guy who is pretending to be some sort of liaison to God.

He was baptized by a prophet…..a literal liaison to God. Also, the rite he participated in is called a Mikvah, which is conducted on infants of Jewish converts to this very day.

Good luck getting this through the heads of those with Roman Catholic Church Derangement Syndrome (RCCDS).

So you just do a single grind and then use the stuffer? How big of a stuffer are you using? I see them from 5lbs all the way up to 30+

I started processing my own deer last year just using the grinder attachment for my Kitchenaid and poly bags. I’m wanting to get a better grinder, and I’ve pretty much decided on the LEM #22. Is this overkill for grinding 1 deer at a time? I remove all silver skin, fat, and cartilage if that makes a difference.

I’m looking for opinions and feedback on single grind vs the dual grind models.

I’m also looking for opinions on what’s best between vacuum sealing, freezer paper, and the poly bags for ground meat. I’ve had all 3 from various processors, but seems like most use freezer paper. The poly bags are easy enough to fill by adding a stuffing tube to the grinder on the second grind, but not sure how well those work for long term storage. Vacuum sealing seems to have mixed reviews online. Lots of people love this method, and others say they have bad experiences with bags losing seal here and there for random reasons.

For larger cuts like roasts, I just double wrap tightly in cling film and then store in freezer bags. This works well for roasts, but would be a little finicky trying to wrap ground meat with cling film I assume.

I picked up a G30S yesterday. It has the same size slide as a G19, a little thicker grip, but the grip length is between the G26 and G19. It holds 10 rounds of 45acp, which should be plenty for whatever I’ll ever need it for. I got it mainly to use as my new deer tracking handgun, but I’ll probably use it as my fall and winter EDC as well.

It handles recoil extremely well. Even with +P that I shot through it today, it was no more snappy than 9mm.

I have this on my Henry 30-30. I love it. I have a skinner on my Ruger Marlin 44mag. I love it too, but it does force you to wait about 15 minutes later for a shot vs a scope in the morning, and it cuts your evening hunts short due to visibility.

Grizzly makes a 20qt. I love mine

What prompted your parish to start hiring security details?

They started that before I converted, so I honestly couldn’t tell you. I assume some mass church shooting prior to 2020 prompted it. There are 3 doors leading into the church, and all of those get locked a few minutes prior to mass except the main entrance where the policeman would be posted.
