A question for my friends in the USA about cowboys.
by punkofnice inas a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.
later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.
we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.

Yes, there are cowboys in the US. Everything west of the grand Mississippi River in the early 1800's was unchartered and only the adventurous would dare leave the relative security of the colonies and those "territories" that, although not States, were up-and-coming with settlements and industry. So, the adventurous and those who had embraced the ideals of Manifest Destiny would cross the river in search of fortune, or at least a little plot of ground that they could call their own.
With little in the way of protections, the "settler" was faced with either retaliation from Indians whose land they were encroaching on, meaning "robbing the resources" that belonged to the Indian nation, or bands of brigands whos capitalized on the lack of protection and nominal numbers of any encampment.
Some of these encampments grew into towns, some of these settlers founded huge businesses of cattle and other livestock to provide food and raw material like wool and leather to the ever-growing United States. Those who had the affinity for vast open ranges and the wear-with-all to confront the open country became the cowboys of legend. They were far from the cowboys you would see on TV though. They were a rough a tumble bunch, and although some became very good with a gun, typically the Colt revolver, very few ever gained notariety for being gunslingers. Most were simply workers that lived and died on the range.
Today, there are still those revered men and women who work the range, ride their horses, and wield a rifle along with their napsack tied to the saddle. The rifle is probably not an old Winchester, more likely a Reimngton .30-06 with a scope capable of shooting a wolf or coyote at a few hundred yards. Little issues exist now between cowboys and Indians, most Indians have had their lands stolen by the Manifest Destiny playbook and have been confined to tribal lands called Reservations, which are little more than a concession given by the US for having pillaged their nation.
There are some good history books replete with accurate depictions of cowboys and Indians.....

I think at a local level that might be the case particularly with smaller commuities, but this doesn't address the fact that AMGE CHURCHES are springing up in metropolitan areas right and left.

Well, this pretty much addresses any question of whether they are going to abandon 1914 or not. If anyone mentions "abandon" again, just tell them the ORG is embracing it with "WILD ABANDON!"

Fear of death is an interesting thing. Many elderly men start manifesting wierd behaviour. They question their beliefs, they question their choices, they question their feelings and the seven-year-itch may not reveal itself until they are quite elderly.
