  My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

  by Sea Breeze in

  a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

  wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

  that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

  It is refreshing to see evidence that is consistent with the Genesis account. Actually, it was very easy to predict.

  Creation Science can make predictions from that worldview as I have demonstrated on this thread over the past 7 months.

  Sorry, but this is simply retarded.

  The bible has retreated from science ever since it was cobbled together.

  Christians are always on the side of Christ. In his absence, we help keep order by bearing the sword as commanded.

  would you not help your next door neighbor who was being attacked?

  Depends on whether I like my neighbour and think it's worth involving myself in a situation I know nothing about.

  But what has a pretend fictional character got to do with the price of milk?

  Are You Concerned About Inflation?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.

  that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?

  they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

  current prices will remain the new normal

  Yes, like gas prices themselves - the price at the pump goes up when the price of oil rises, but never ever goes back down to what it was even if the price per barrel goes way lower than it was.

  Same when potatoes go up - fish and chip shops charge more and will have a little sign saying it's out of their control, price of spuds etc... but once the price spike is over, those are the new normal prices.

  People get used to prices and without competition they rarely go back down. We live in a inflationary system that relies on ever increasing debt and monetary supply to keep wobbling along.

  Leah Remin's 'Good friend" Oh pulleeze.

  Grifters gonna stick together and feed off each other.

  They really haven't bothered to do a good job vetting people, or are willing to risk their own reputations just for a few more clicks.

  Sad.

  It's really about 20%

  Yes, the real rate using the original calculation method is well over 20%. In 5 years the purchasing power of your money halves, and you get to pay tax on the fake gains of the devaluation

  Groceries are odd. At the big box grocery store some things have gone up alot and some only a little. For example, the coffee I used to buy there has nearly doubled in price, but if I buy it at ALDI or Trader Joe's, it's only about a dollar more than it was a year ago. Canned goods, the price difference is not noticeable. Meat prices are insane everywhere unless you catch a sale. Produce is hit or miss. Some things like melons are about the same as they are every summer, but citrus is really expensive. Tomatoes, Onions, Cabbage, Potato....may have gone up, i dont remember the exact price a year ago, but not noticeably.

  There is more than one way to make you pay more. They can raise the prices or keep them the same ... and just change the packaging so the qty you get goes down for the same price, often so it's not too obvious unless you carefully compare like-for-like. Bigger stores can dictate suppliers do this.

  Everything at every store got their via transportation, and with energy prices up that means prices will be higher one way or another.

  Up to 9.1% now, the wheels are coming off.

  What does a war do for the economic problems we have? Genuine question, I don't understand how that helps.

  It's a dramatic reset. Some country can't / won't pay their debts, someone wants to seize their assets. Or someone decides some other countries assets would be really nice to have to solve their problems. Or heck, it's a great distraction and election booster for the powers that be. Nothing enables those in power to syphon off funds quite like a war - you see the exact thing happening in Ukraine right now ... we have to pour $billions in, with no accountability and receipts to check where the money goes.

  Ultimately, it's a big system reset.

  hello, i'm new here and have woken up to the real truth concerning the org.

  i'm sort of fading away at the moment.... i need help with something, i used to as a child celebrate christmas and have always had amazing memories of it (my husband hasn't as he was born into the org) but i gave it up when i learnt the "truth".

  my interest was only in pleasing god and still is.

  Christian

  Christmas

  I mean, it is only 2 letters off ... so based purely on the Levenshtein Distance - yes

  My reasoning: does the custom involve a roast dinner, with yorkshire pudding, stuffing, gravy, brussels sprouts, carrots and swede, roast tatties? Who do I have to pretend to worship to get in on this ...

  You don't have to send any letter for them to announce that you have disassociated yourself. They can decide you have, based on whatever made-up BS they want.

  You can have an appeal, but has anyone ever heard of an appeal being upheld?

  They are the police, judges, the jury and the witnesses.
