Memoriae

Eli5 and neuroscience don't tend to play very well together.

It's things like this that make me glad I only worked in a bank, and not in a place that does pawning or short term loans.

Even then, some of the shit that they pulled was heartbreaking. Had one customer who had loads of well-funded accounts, loads of bonds, but had a loan that was due to finish in about a years time. She missed a single payment, and was bumped to "customer care", which is parlance for GTFO. The group lost about 100k worth of investment at that point.
Barclays, on the other hand, gained a customer straight away. Even had the manager come collect her (my branch manager was married to the manager of the Barclays branch).

But having to deal with people who are tearfully selling a wedding ring to you? Fuck, I'd probably give her the money out of my own pocket, and tell her to keep the ring.

Thatcher.

Or so our office gathering has supposed. The miners were the thin end of the wedge, and Maggie just decided to get rid of everything based on getting stuff out of the ground. Except no one wants to buy a volcano, so they just closed instead.

Assuming US, so afternoon Father.

When you say that you "believe with the Church", what positions does the Church hold that make you just sit and think "But why?"

It's always refreshing to see that it's not just the "godless masses" that despise /r/atheism as well.

Also, as someone who utterly failed religious studies back in school, I want to go around my part of the UK, and just have a basic understanding of each of the major religions. Not from a news point of view, but from the ministers, imams, and the like themselves.
While I am one of the so-called "inconvincibles", knowledge is a powerful thing to seek out. What things do you and your congregation do, not necessarily against tradition, but unexpected of the Church's public image?

On the subject of praying for people, how much adversity do you find in an (anecdotally) increasingly secular world, when you say that you are going to pray for someone?

And lastly, while I don't have a father to spend Father's Day with any more, at least I can send my love to someone thousands of miles away, from a belief that I don't share, but with mutual respect.

Happy Father's Day, Father Josh.

No point in feeling like a bum if you're still with your parents.

The most important thing it to get your head straightened out, and in my experience, mothers specifically are brilliant at that.

Hell, I only moved out when I was 24, and I had absolutely no problems in my life.
