I'd wager she lived near the church that whole time.<br /><br />If it was the church who silenced the clock, as seems to be the case (anyway, Pastor Beilke didn't deny it), then I don't know why our complaining insomniac informed me that "all I had to do was ask the mayor!" <br /><br />If that was untrue, then the woman who registered the complaint should not be going around implicating the mayor. unheimlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204285837938988668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-64526317778475914542021-07-17T17:07:22.183-04:002021-07-17T17:07:22.183-04:00What KD said...What KD said...Cynthia Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550592770287010816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-85042806918538065942021-07-17T14:18:16.446-04:002021-07-17T14:18:16.446-04:00If, as stated, the clock belongs to the City, it i...If, as stated, the clock belongs to the City, it is not merely that "the bell is technically not our (the Church's) jurisdiction;" it seems to me that the Church has no authority whatsoever to silence it, except upon direct order of the City.
