Re: 2/3 of Roman Catholic Churches in Baltimore to close

Organisations tend to become ends into preserving themselves in the short term, and then become ends into preserving the salaries and short term prospects of their officers. This is known as the “principal-agent problem”. ''It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depen...

Re: Shared community of Brethren, Mennonites or Amish?

I believe in Paraguay, the colony holds the government title to the land, sort of as a corporation might. As far as the Paraguayan government is concerned, it is one single chunk of land. But then, the colony turns around and subdivides the land and sells the parcels to the individual members of the...

Re: AP Video: How to Read Revelation & Avoid the Mark of the Beast

That’s pretty neat. However, it reminds me of the Hitler speech that AI made into English. The rich difference, the impact, of listening to Hitler in English, vs. reading a summary of his speech is huge. Same thing here. To watch the video of the speaker, and hear the tone, etc., is also a much mor...

Article: Scientists Resort to Once-Unthinkable Solutions to Cool the Planet

This how geoengineering projects are done, I think. Nothing to do with secretive mysterious chemtrails, which would need to somehow be kept hidden from thousands of airplane manufacturer employees and thousands of aircraft mechanics, and safety inspectors - unless these thousands of workers are all ...

Re: Video: Adolf Hitler in English AI Reconstruction

Here is the full 2.5 hour Hitler speech, 7 months before WW2. I think it is where that first OP clip is from. https://youtu.be/-VHBHP29djY?si=1u__3sJ7jTCjpF23 First 20 minutes or so- It is truly remarkable just how much 1939 Hitler, and 2022 Putin match. They both said that there were mistreated Ger...

Re: Iran - Israel War? Iran's state-run news agency says Iran has fired ballistic missiles at targets inside Israel

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has downplayed the significance of Friday’s drone attack on the country, saying that it was minor in scale and involved primitive hardware. The claims by some media outlets that explosions in the skies above the Iranian city of Isfahan, which hosts a...

Re: Prayer Requests & Personal Testimonies

Thank you all. I have appointment with a neurologist next month. I’ve been still pretty much flat, but today I did appreciate some improvement. Me being down is the reason I have been more active than normal on this forum. Probably will continue for a while.
