Edison Club & BTK Billiards
I am a little confused about the actions of the Antigo Common Council. I did not know it was even possible for a business owner to default on a property, sell the property {per Steve Welnetz} have the city take it over, and then gain ownership again for a super-low cost, with super-low interest? I would love to see the business succeed, but, seriously?
This seems like there may be some favoritism here.
Then on the other hand, you have someone who wants to open up a tavern at a location downtown, which had already held a liquor license, but the common council is not taking any action? How does this makes sense?
Again, it looks like some people are favored and others are not.
So, Mr. Welnetz seems to have a few friends in the Antigo government and Mrs. Davis apparently does not.
How sad is that? And how can things like this keep going on? In light of all the recent events in this town, isn’t it about time that we look at things more evenly?

A few references.
Wine is praised; it rejoices God and men (Judges 9:13)
It gladdens the heart of men (Psalms 104:15)
It gladdens life (Exodus 10:19)
It makes the heart exult (Zechariah 10:7)
It cheers the spirits of the depressed (Proverbs 31:6)
Drink some grape juice and see if these all apply.
Is Bible Wine really GRAPE JUICE?
Many churches apparently believe and avidly teach that biblical wine is really unfermented grape juice. According to all indications both implicit and explicit, there is no possible way for this position to appear at all feasible. First, Noah could not have gotten drunk on grape juice (Genesis 9:21), nor could have Lot (Genesis 19:32-35). “But,” some will claim, “that was Old Testament wine which was obviously alcoholic. The New Testament is clear in its condemnation of the use of alcohol and the instances where `wine’ is drunk it is grape juice only.” Even a quick look at the New Testament exposes the error of this argument. In John 2:11, the already-mentioned miracle at Cana is recounted. In accordance with Jewish custom, they were drinking REAL wine. It was a joyful occasion with probably several hundred people attending, so Jesus helped when the wine supply became prematurely exhausted. The product HAD to be fermented wine, for if it had been mere grape juice, there would have been complaints rather than superb compliments. “A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry” says Ecclesiastes 10:19 with the Hebrew word requiring a fermented product!
On Jesus’ last Passover (Last Supper), which occurred in the Spring, he passed around wine for him and his disciples to drink. Since this was six to seven months after the grape harvest and since there was no way to preserve grape juice, this HAD to be fermented wine. (The actual phrase is “fruit of the vine,” but, as pointed out by The New Westminster Dictionary of the Bible, this expression was “employed by the Jews from time immemorial for the wine partaken of on sacred occasions, as at the Passover and on the evening of the Sabbath. The Greeks also used the term as a synonym of wine which was capable of intoxication.”)
The Greek word used in John 2:1-11 for “wine” and in Paul’s command to Timothy to drink wine (1Timothy 5:23) is the term oinos (Greek: ???????, Strong’s Concordance Number #G3631). This same word appears in Ephesians 5:18 (“be not drunk with wine”) and Luke 10:34 (“and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine”). Can you get drunk on grape juice? Would you pour grape juice on a wound? Of course not! You get drunk on alcoholic wine and fermented wine would provide sufficient alcoholic content to serve as an antiseptic.
The New Testament ALWAYS refers to fermented wine. How could the Apostles be accused of being drunk on GRAPE JUICE when the miracle of languages occurred on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:13-15)??
Beeve’s new bar wiil do great now, because he has done the Lord’s work. How you ask? Well, the intrest in his new verture that has been posted on here has gotten me to read more bible versus than I have in twenty five years.
GOOD JOB BEEVE!!!! Keep up the good work!!!! On opening night we all meet at the Edison Club for wine (or grape juice if you like) and we all feast!!!!!!!! Perhaps you can name the place The Back Pew.
Good grief people!! Do I have to enroll in catechism again to find out who is right and who is wrong? I thought this blog concerned the Edison Club and BTK Billiards! It seems as though it has turned into a Bible study group! As far as @Moving forward is concerned , why don’t you just shut the front door!!!
Hmmm…. Since the Bible says nothing at all about marijuana, pot must be okay, hey?
I don’t think they progressed to the mighty weed yet at that time Jerry. :}
@Really – How about prophecy? I thought those old shepherd dudes had all the answers, for all time. These days, God only talks to Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann, and Rick Santorum, it seems. 7 billion people on this planet, and we can’t get any better connections than those?
@Jerry. Naughty, naughty, naughty!
@ Good thinking
He better have Mogan David 20-20. Thats what I served at our church! Some people even went back for seconds! They must have really sinned!
@love the buzz – Yeah, for that I’m probably going to Hell, which, by the way, is not actually fire and brimstone. It’s an endless ice-fishing derby.
@Jerry
Its hard to stare down a hole all day, but someone has to do it! It might as well be you and I. LOL
@Jerry. All things were not revealed through prophecy back then, God saved some things for you to bring to us. I on the other hand find hell to be trying to make sense of most of the words your keyboard makes.
Hell is actually quite a nice place. I don’t know if you guys get down to Southern Michigan or not, but it’s worth a trip.
Ol’ Roy would you be talking about the Detroit area by chance? That is a place even the people in hell don’t want to go to.
It is actually a small town in southern Michigan. You can find a few pics of the town on Google. Even a pic of the sign coming into the town that says Hell.
jerry you crack me up . and everyone needs to stop being hypocrites.let beav give it a shot .
Ya let him give it a shot again. The city can always sell the building if it doesn’t work out. Maybe he will buy it back again?
