    Drayton McBaylor wanted to sell because none of his East Texas Baptist inbred family gave a **** about the Stros...pumped up the price, sold, and then bailed out.

    Gave all the monies to Baylor to build stadiums.

    Crane has his son lined up to be the new Executive running the team, he's been working toward that.

    He may want it, he may not, may happen, it may not, but that's how the future is allegedly happening

    Both my Grandfather and Father were Baylor graduates when it was a Southern Baptist Institution. But then in the late 70's and early 80s, they became prideful and succumbed to a desire for acceptance by Satanic Academia rather than God and became like the University of Texas.

    The fall was significant. Perhaps this was led by people like McBaylor.

    Must have been so much nicer in your father and grandfather’s time when God kept Negroes in their place, and before women had the gall to report the rampant sexual harassment. Satan’s hand at work, as you say.

    My Grandfather actually preached in 1968 in Houston (I have his sermon notes) that race was not the focus of purity, but of purity of the spirit to the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and those grafted into their rootstock. Do not confuse the purity of the spirit with the sin of those who fail to follow it,

    Romans 11:19
    You will say then, “The branches have been broken off so that I might be grafted in.”

    “Satanic Academia” is a phrase used only by hopeless moronic rubes.

    No. It's used by those who have the discernment to understand the difference between a Search for TRUTH and a Search for comfortable LIES.

    John 8:44
    “You are of your father, the devil. And you will do the lusts of your father. He has been a murderer from the beginning, and did not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, then he speaks of his own. For he is a liar and the father thereof.

    After making an incredibly poor decision to peer into the D&D recently and seeing some familiar names from this section of the board, I’m profoundly unsurprised that those folks are the way they are.

    Just so you’re clear: you are a hopeless moronic rube. I know you’re old as ****, but that’s not an excuse.

    I can tell some of us are not embracing that Easter vibe.
