From Cleric To Relic

[Perhaps 1,423]

As a Keller DDP picker (he’s on my B team), I’ve always wondered why someone seems to be so sure that he won’t QO enough to include it in his description. 

 

Who is responsible for that amount of confidence?

[Joey Russ 7,220]

I think that was before it was known how the yahoo change would actually impact the ddp at large. In the past, unless you were a best selling author like Ravi Zacharias a lot of these smaller Christian fundamentalist types were very much QO risks

Tim Keller was also an author, increasing his chances to QO. Besides, after Philipp Mickenbecker and Dan Lacey blanked for me the past two years, someone needs to be on the ball with him.

This may, it’s hard to be certain, leave Rene Henry Gracida as the last Catholic bishop that is also a veteran of the Second World War. There is also a Polish bishop who was present at/participated in the Warsaw uprising but he was certainly a partisan and not a member of any organized military unit.

I believe I said the exact opposite. Try reading before posting.

Well you are wrong, because Partisan units ARE organized military units, so I don't know what you are on but I want some.

Let’s start with that’s not what you wrote; so, your exasperation did not land because you functionally cannot type or think. I’ll leave that up to you. 
 

Partisan groups may in fact be organized and they may in fact be military (of sorts) but they are not ‘organized military’ by any stretch of anyone’s imagination. In fact describing them as such would erase the necessity of using terms such as partisan or underground. 
 

I fully expect you to attempt to correct this because you’re an obvious troll who cannot be bothered to use a dictionary let alone make their point using properly constructed sentences. As such: fuck off.

You are a moron and should be lobotomized, would vastly improve your intelligence. Since you live in an alternative reality where the soviet partisans were not an organized military unit nor the polish home army, of which both were organized military units, so you are a moron and again, need to be lobotomized.

Wow. You are proving every point that I made. The Soviets had both an Army and partisan groups, as did the Poles.
If your goal is to be of even moderate use on this site don’t pick unnecessary fights about things you don’t understand.
