You have hippies on your board now

[diachenko]

Welcome! You'll find there are all types here, religious, semi-religious, non-religious, anti-religious. Most of us get along pretty well with everyone else.
As one who plays the White Piano, I can assure you that it is no joke, inside or otherwise.
I'm glad that you've decided to join our motley crew.

Welcome to the melting pot!

Welcome aboard.

Since we now have hippies I have to institute a long forgotten policy:

Ass, grass or gas. No one rides for free

Well, in all honesty, never did like frisbee.

I remember those bumper stickers! I always paid my way, and it wasn't in frisbees!

Alright! You can sit up in the cockpit with me.

Welcome aboard!

In reference to your question regarding SBC/FBC that would be the Southern Baptist Convention (as previously mentioned) and FBC is most likely First Baptist Chuch. FBC is a major fundy church in Hammond, Indiana previously pastored by the late Jack Hyles and currently by his son-in-law Jack 'NO NO NO! / Slap your grandma' Schaap.

FYI Daisy, that might be a mistake. There have been shall we call them "incidents" where Scorpio may have "taken liberties" and possibly committed something he may or may not have referred to as a "lack of modesty" Of course they all turn out to be misunderstandings - we know such a godly pilot would never do anything sinful, and perhaps those involved asked for it (threw themselves at him) by dressing in a provocative way like showing their ankles or toes, or maybe uncovering their collarbones, but we basically just said it was all forgive and forget time, so never mind, you might be fine up there.

Also, here is the link to the 'Glossary' of some of the terms we use around here. Generally tongue-in-cheek. There are a whole set of meme that are unique to this site. It would be nice if we had a newbie guide posted somewhere... ( hint hint, Darrell)

OK, was it John Matzko? Or Jim Russell? Surely not Mike Schrock?

white piano (John and Yoko? What is the meaning of this inside joke?)

Other term of confusion: Can someone give me a working definition of evangelical vs fundie? I really can't tell the difference.

White piano: there was a post where there was part of a white piano in a picture (can someone dig this up?) and some people couldn't see it, but others could... Thus began the joke. I mean, important-serious-topic. It's been used here as a measure of whether someone is a true believer and also forming the basis for shunning others, with some still contending that it never existed. One of our former Bob (my shorthand for Bob Jones University; the acronym... yeah, not gonna use that) musicians can usually be found playing it in the lounge (he's above).

Hey all, sexual assault jokes feel a little gross here. I know there's a place for dark humor about the sexual abuse in fundy-land, but I feel like this might not be the thread/context for that.

Evangelical versus fundy: the fundies are more conservative. The fundies denounce the evangelicals (of course, they also denounce other fundies who aren't just like them). The fundies 'separate'--don't associate with people who disagree with them, and sometimes even avoid people who associate with people they disagree with. Someone in Greenville is writing a book about that and how it basically meant 'segregate' a lot of the time. They've been on your blog. There are more differences, but sometimes you have to be pretty close to see them. People like Mark Driscoll look evangelical, but actually quite fundy in the way they think. John Piper is evangelical but came from a fundy background (right across the street from the Bob) and holds onto a lot of the crap. There can definitely be overlap (but afaik only in the evangelical -> fundy direction). Other people can probably explain the relationship more coherently.

Welcome!
