  Spare a thought for the nuisance callers

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  up till now i have generally received (on average) one or two nuisance calls a day –sometimes more, sometimes none.

  although retired, i was out of the house about 20% of the time, but now that i’m home 100% of the time, i haven’t received a single nuisance call since the lockdown.

  is this just me, or is covid19 having a sever impact of their incomes?

  Can't say that I've experienced anything like that Pete Zahut, I thought those machines just chugged their way through every number in sequence, which is why even ex-directory people get them.

  When a person actually calls, I often string them along – for no other reason than it stops them conning someone else. I once had a call from “Microsoft Sever” telling me my computer was sending them error messages and they would help me correct them. After about ten minutes of me acting dumb, the guy was getting a bit exasperated, and said in his strong Indian accent, “I just need you to turn on your computer and I will show you”, to which I replied, “OK, OK I’ll do it right now. But there’s one thing I don’t understand, my computer’s an Apple Mac and doesn’t have any Microsoft software on it” – I had barely finished the sentence when he hung up.

Is this just me, or is Covid19 having a sever impact of their incomes? How on earth are they going to survive? On the other hand, it must be saving a lot of elderly, naïve and gullible individuals from losing a lot of money.

  oh my goodness!

  how come we never thought of this before?

  if the israelites had animals to sacrifice to jehovah in the wilderness, then how come their god jehovah had to give them manna so they wouldn't starved to death?.

  No, this is not a per person tally, it's what Jah required the Israelites to slaughter at his temple on behalf of the whole nation. Of course it’s not much when put alongside a nation of two million, but the Israelites really couldn’t afford to eat any of the animals in case they ran short. And without the smell of burning flesh to appease his fetish, in precisely the right amounts, Jah’s fierce anger would blaze and then hunger would be the least of Israel's problems.

  I think he is doing the best he can.

  For those of us outside of the US, that's what worries us the most.

  Somewhere and somehow there is an answer for every Bible question

  Yep, and the answer to this one is simple. They couldn’t eat the animals because they needed them to sacrifice and burn to Jehovah. They had to burn two lambs a day (Num 28:3) plus an extra two every Sabbath (Num 28:9), plus two bulls, one ram, seven lambs and one goat every new moon (Num 28:11&15), and they had to repeat that after the Passover (Num 28:19 & 22-24) and Festival of Weeks (Num 28:27 & 30), and during the seventh month they had to slaughter a grand total of 75 bulls, 17 rams, 119 lambs and 9 goats (Num 29:2-38).

  That’s an annual slaughter of 105 bulls, 32 rams, 873 lambs and 24 goats. You sure wouldn’t want to be a lamb back then.

  My Bible question is, Why?

  In the UK his reputation for recklessness hasn’t diminished. He appears to care more for the American economy than he does for the American people. He’s going to get America back to work by Easter because it’s a “very nice timeline, very nice” – well good luck with that. I always thought he was a moron until someone pointed out that you have to have an IQ of at least 51 to qualify.

  Their teaching that Jesus put an end to the need for his disciples to keep the Jewish Law

  Not sure the book of Hebrews would agree with you there Cofty, but then that was written by Paul and not Jesus.

  the muslim council of britain and uk jewish organisations want the uk government to enshrine into law their perceptions of what kind of speech constitutes islamophobia or anti-semitism/hate crime.

  should british christians follow suit?

  in the movies & on tv we constantly hear actors shout out, "jesus christ.

  the Quran and other islamic holy writings declared hate speech and banned

  Don't leave out the Old Testament, it's full of hate speech.

  The famous liars

  i was talking with my sister and the subject of the wt using rahab as an exemplary example of theocratic warfare which is of course, lying.

  when the wt uses her, they fail to highlight the fact that she was a temple prostitute and an unbeliever when she "saved" the spies.. i said you know, the wt doesn't use the most famous liar as an example.

  that would be peter of course.

  Lesson: Even in the face of death, always be honest.

  Really? Perhaps someone should have told Isaac, "So Isaac stayed in Gerar. When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister," because he was afraid to say, "She is my wife." He thought, "The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful."" (Gen 26:6-7)
