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

Thank-you MattY for these notes! I have very little emotional attachment to my understanding of this book, and so I appreciate that you took the time to listen twice and take notes.

Re: War isn’t murder

Re: Prayer Requests & Personal Testimonies

Today I am a bit better than I have been. I was able to sit on the edge of the couch for 20 minutes. That’s well more than ever. And I drove the pickup down the road a few miles. And today my problem has stayed more isolated to my ankle and foot region, without cramping my calf or thigh muscles. So ...

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?

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...
