I was skeptical - really skeptical. Then I read the article and cheered. Thank you.

Joke is on them; rapture and ascension are internal processes, not external.

Thanks so much for this share, OP. A veritable smorgasbord of food for thought, although a good portion gives vapors and indigestion.

Sometimes this kind of people sounds like they believe in the Bible and prophecies as impersonal laws of nature, and not in an intelligent creator of any sort.

Kind of. If a supreme being set into motion certain universal laws and always thwarted them for the benefit of this or that, one or group, the laws would be arbitrary, thus pointless. It’s up to us to let the pressures d/evolve us according to the idea of (a limited by circumstances and variables) somewhat free will. Some believers consider the most ignorant and slavish among ourselves closer to God than the most refined with the most spiritual knowledge and/or means. Iow it’s not the means but how they are utilized.

It’s reciprocal from the Jewish religious nutters.

I think they are actively trying to make the end times prophecy happen

They are, here and abroad. Zionists extreme extremists are trying to genetically engineer the perfect calf to sacrifice on the Temple Dome, in Israel. Christian extreme extremists in the US fund them.

Maybe, I can’t remember. I don’t seem to recall it having advert execs but I don’t remember the rest of the story either. It was a long time ago. I remember the lesson, though.

I disagree with her on that. It demeans prizes to give someone else credit they didn’t earn. His prize would have been being recognized as the person who pushed her development.

Recently I watched a video of a content creator in SA with a can of Rhodes beans on her counter on the bg and wondered if it was connected to Cecil… This article reminded me of this and an old sci fi novel about a company recruiting for Martian colonists, who ended up becoming slaves. I can’t remember the title or author, but we already see Leon making earth slaves, his family business is earth slaves, so only the poorest informed would go for this, or those who think they are Leon’s equals? I’m probably missing something, I ate well and it’s nap time.

That’s one department, but once here, one there… ok

Yes! We had persimmon, pear, fig, apple and crabapple trees, blackberry and muskidine about, and there were peach orchards nearby. Life was so simple and good back then. And we didn’t mind helping in the kitchen, garden and house. On Saturday nights regular granny started cooking, stopped long enough to take us kids to Sunday school and church, then we all came back to her house and each kid helped finish cooking, whether laying biscuits on the pan, putting mac n cheese together. Even toddlers set the table and put ice in glasses, folded hand-sewn napkins. They did so much for us we didn’t appreciate until we were grown!

Cheese isn’t so bad for some reason.

I remember going with my great granny to the distribution center. Cheese, butter, maybe peanut butter but that could be faulty memory. The butter and cheese got us to eat our vegetables without complaining.

SE Asia, East Africa, and Central and South America

Is this where American monied have compounds?

It happens, we forget the sheet diversity of experiences because we’re human. I try to have multiperspectivity, but even that is limited to one’s own experiences and imaginative abilities, on the best days.

I feel bad for visually impaired.

And the fight is not over. The law, called Section 702, that now authorizes the continued surveillance that Mark first revealed, expires in early 2026. EFF and others will continue to push for continued reforms and, ultimately, for the illegal spying to end entirely.

It seems only fair that this contractor’s method of income be known to their family, friends and community?

They also used the same design of a prior craft that met the same fate. But private industry are problem solvers. 🙄

Just started to say I’m glad they’re focusing on the important things. 🙄🤮
