2 Peter and Jude and 1 Enoch
by Parallax ini'm new to the forum and i have a question about what was said in a 16-year-old thread at this forum.
a poster by the name of leolaia said.... the author of 2 peter did not recognize that jude 6 was an allustion to 1 enoch (just as he did not realize that jude 9 was an allusion to the assumption of moses and thus rephrased it incoherently in 2 peter 2:11), or he may have objected to the enochic reference (just as jude 14-15 was omitted in 2 peter 2).
in either case, the author overlooked the enochic allusion and instead recognized the passage as an allusion of hesiod and thus embellished the passage from jude with an allusion to hesiod's tartarus.. .

Take The Truth Hurts channel. He’s got 50,000 subscribers but many of his videos have over 100,000 views and some are over 1 million.
Love this guy...perfect for new leavers. Why? Because he presents his research based ideas clearly and adds absolutely hilarious sketches into the mix
He's another person that was hammered by Lloyd for not fawning over him, post scandal.

He's going to write about how cults mess with your sexuality.
Give me strength.
If he were gay, I'd understand. Even as a woman, being intimately questioned is f***ing abuse.
But as an elders son? As a heterosexual man???! So they tell you you shouldn't masturbate. You shouldn't watch porn. Sex after marriage is optimal & the safest option, you shouldn't use hookers
Oh boo bloody hoo!!!
Thousands of societies, religions, cultures, faiths, philosophies have said the exact bloody same thing🤦🏻♀️ . Doesn't give you carte blanche to be an asshole.
Kim, if you ever have the strength, your book would be far more compelling!!

something a good content creator will not do. He would be listening to his audience. What did Lloyd do? He started uploading the same content TWICE but in long and shorter format. Now that is one of the worst errors you can make on a social media platform: you NEVER create duplicate content.
The reason he does this is purely financial. The same with the long rambling videos - you can cram more ads and more ad revenue in. It's not as if longer videos are more expensive for him to make.
All his videos are incredibly cheap to make!
He makes them at home. He doesn't even have to spend time researching anything (except watching JW broadcast, which is free). All the info is in his head .....growing up in the org it's all seared into your brain. There's only a few books that are "required reading" to gain you extra insight after you leave. He now gets free content from people sending in questions(god help us🤦🏻♀️)seeking help, agony aunt style.
His ISP bills and, more recently, Tibor are literally the only ongoing costs to making his videos. Which, lets face it, are completely repetitive because once you've seen one convention you've seen them all. The Watchtower's message is the same year in year out, therefore so is his.
Even his most expensive content was relatively cheap - aside from the flight costs - getting to film around Warwick was free & Interviewing the Dutch reclaimed voices activists was free. He even gets the kudos of calling himself a "filmmaker" over essentially a home video, in the case of the Warwick vid🙄🤣

Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!
by Simon ini know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.
it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.
plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

LuheI saw a photo of an obviously pregnant woman who'd written 'not a human life yet' on her swollen belly. I can bet any money that that same woman would say 'I lost my baby' if she miscarried.
Oh that is grotesque.
I agree it is consistent. Personally i think it's pretty early ....if I'm honest at around 9 weeks. Certainly way before it would ever show as a bump😬
We also have 'the morning after' pill (which is actually only 3 oestrogen-progesterone contraceptive pills in one pill, by the way) which should have massively cut down the need for terminations.

DD Most folks seem to be falling for propaganda again. Morons attacking Police in LA where they can still get an abortion. 🤦🏻♂️
Reminds me of the BLM protests in London where they were all chanting "Don't shoot! Don't Shoot!" to the (obviously unarmed) British coppers! 🤦🏻♀️
Whilst I'm here I would also like to take issue with some of the people who have mentioned that they know people who have donated large amounts to orphanages.
Whilst extremely laudable, you cannot compare the relief you give to babies in terms of feeding, clothing and housing them, on a temporary basis, to the lifelong responsibility a mother has toward its child.
Lots of people on this board have talked about how rare birth through rape is. Maybe so. But rape itself is far from rare. Many women I know have experienced some form of sexual abuse at the very least. I was flashed at as a kid and myself and another woman had a man do a sex act on the tube with his naked dick (we reported him immediately and weirdly he didn't seem to care🙄)
And I don't even count those in my head when Im thinking of personal experience.
For example, for years I had what I termed a 'date rape'. But it wasn't. It was actual rape, which is to say all rapes are. I went out with a guy who lived on the next street. He then came around to my house - my flat mates were in - nothing happed - no problems - not my type and, I assumed, he felt the same. A few months later I saw him drive by as I came out of the station (and as I say he lived near me). He offered me a lift home. I suspected nothing, he went a slightly weird way but still in our direction, then he suddenly pulled in to a scrap yard. I fought. I thought maybe I screamed loud because we were pulled over by plain clothes coppers on my road....I thought were the cops following us? They kicked his tyres, asked to see his licence etc and asked if I was alright. Maybe the stop was a coincidence and they acted weird because I must have looked in shock
....I was 18. didn't say a thing and didn't report it.
So my long winded point is that many, many women don't report rape. So it follows that there are more babies than we realise created by, at the very least, coercion. Therefore also more abortions the result of rape than we realise.
Even if the mother gives the child up for adoption, the child may be curious about its biological parentage in later years. It may seek a relationship with its natural mother or father (it may need information for health reasons too). The relationship between mother and child is unique and - even if the victim of abuse or rape adopts it out - the interference with her rights, her life, her emotions, etc, lingers forever.

Looks like he's on some type of tricyclic antidepressant, such as amitriptyline. Absolutely out to lunch😳
Could also be some type of benzodiazepine?(valium or Xanax). He's not in your regular SSRI's (like Prozac)because they simply don't have that effect.
Doctors must be concerned if they've stuck him on something like this... unless he's self medicating?
