In the spring of 1849, the Rev. Falacius Reynolds and nine charter members met in the cabin of E. W. and Nancy Rogers in the new settlement of Waxahachie and established a Methodist society. The congregation erected its first house of worship in 1852. A new building, built in 1856, was shared with local Cumberland Presbyterian and Baptist congregations. In 1866 the Central Texas Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was organized at the Waxahachie church. A third building, erected in 1893, was lost to a fire in 1904 and was replaced in 1905. The congregation struggled through the Depression era to flourish in the 1940s and 1950s. A fifth church complex was erected in 1950. Church members remain active in community service. (1999)

Question by lace12: so.....are you a random person?
the dreaded fonderdoodle emerged from his library of doom late wednesday evening while the ducks migrated east of waxahachie in station wagons previously owned by the man who only did his laundry in orange marmalade, and put out fires with gingerbread made by his great aunt edwardita who spoke the dead language of the penguin eating elves who had long since been extinct because they were foolish and lost the last melon to the kangaroo gnomes who live west of oklahoma's leading toilet paper factory
just wondering why people think you have to be on drugs to have an imagination.

Question by neurok: Can a company fire a at-will employee because of where he lives?
I know that at -will employees have little to no rights. Basically the office is in dallas and i was relocating to waxahachie i worked for a pest control company and because i was moving they said they couldnt keep me even tho i was willing to comute to work in my personal vehicle and not in the company truck.



sociald
Well from your description they really dont need a reason to fire someone in that situation. its at will, you work at will and they can fire them at will. I really dont like that kind of thing myself as its so easy to abuse.. ie fire this guy cuz i want to hire my friend or seomthing.
