  DD,

  I really enjoy your style and the way you say things. You have no idea how much you make me laugh and how much I laugh and have laughed in the past with your posts, the way you say things. I’m laughing now.

  Pawn to Queen 2034 anyone?

  not a  hint of a new date for the great tribulation.

  the attitude of jw is that they expect it immediately although the inter-lapping anointed allows for any additional extended time.

  given the time of the end, the end comes after the good news is preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations with the internet and 108 years and tons of publications even in finnish.

  “ I am coming quickly” 2000 years later is not quickly. Since the Bible is inspired, we need to understand how did Jesus come quickly.” Also, if you tell someone that the GT will arrive soon and you don’t even know if it is going to arrive at all during his lifespan, what do you mean by “soon”?

  DJW, you are cool. In the heat of discussion I’ve often posted rashly here. I respect you for your honesty. I’ve noted this virtue in your other posts. I too mean no offense with my posts. I don’t preach to the choir here on this forum. Many posters here make good point. I’m not going to pretend they are not and resort to fallacy to win an argument. I would be lying to myself. I don’t want to give the impression that my objective approach to the forensic analysis and critical thinking of wt beliefs and practices on board means I don’t sincerely believe in my religion. I do believe. But I also enjoy the discussions here. It is interesting. I don’t need to be defensive about it in an apologetic manner.

  I also compassionately understand the feelings of people here because I too have feelings.

  With kindness,

  Fisherman

  Archaeopteryx is supposed to be the missing link between birds and dinosaurs, supposedly having feathers but are flying dinosaurs birds? For example bats, flying squirrels, pterodactyls fly but they aren’t birds. What kind of creature is Archaeopteryx?

  Silicon Valley Bank bankruptcy....

  by mikeflood in

  didn't know silicon valley bank was so important for start-ups....now there's some sort of contagion, people taking their money from regional banks to the big banks.

  .

  system seems pretty resilient and different from 2008. thoughts?.

  Thanks for the vid! Would like to understand what is the proximate cause. At first, I thought like DD that the banks made real dumb investments like to the outfits he mentions in his post. But after watching the vid, a lot of banks are affected and has to be something even bigger. I don’t think it is a coincidence but I could be wrong that after the economic sanctions aimed at Russia, a lot of things in the US have changed for the worse as if the sanctions are backfiring on the American people. But I am all ears if someone knows what is going on with the banks.

  Clever Misdirection

  by TD in

  i was looking at the (mostly) wrong answers to a riddle that's making the rounds on social media and thought it was a good example of how something simple (in this case, grade school math) can be distorted with words.

  the riddle goes like this:.

  i bought a cow for $800.. i sold it for $1000.

  am pointing out that your comments give me the impression that you are not entirely whom you claim to be.

  Read my posts here and think again. Your erroneous conclusions also show how you misunderstand the Bible. I am not going my practice my religion by your likings. I also previously made it clear to you my religious position. I am enjoying posting on this forum and having academic friendly discussions. Stop being concerned about my religious practices and worry about yourself.
