I joined the Grange hall one time, so I could get cheap car insurance. Getting sworn in we carried some flag around I think, and stomped our feet and turned in procession and came to a stop, and got cheaper car insurance. Is it sort of like that?


Nothing like that.

No, it's kinda like that in many ways.
Fellow believers, comradery,
fellowship. And you even get cheap
insurance. In your religion you have
to wait till you die to get anything
real.

They all seemed like decent people, a bunch of old farmers. https://www.britannica.com/event/Granger-movement

There's an old Grange Hall exactly one
mile from here. The ones that are left
have been turned into homes. Looks just
like this one:

This is the one I joined in Amboy Wash. http://www.thereflector.com/news/article_b0e5f1b6-27c7-11e4-b8f4-0019bb2963f4.html

Looks like the Grange is still in business in PNW.

FrGamble. Would you say loyalty is your highest virtue?

God before everything. Reason, logic, anything gets in the way, God still first. God wants Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. Loyalty to God.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

To be obedient to God is to follow reason and logic perfectly. Remember in Abraham's day human sacrifice was a practice. God introduces Himself by putting an end to that practice. If you are loyal to God it will only be a blessing to your life and those around you.
