Geez, you think they'd be glad that you even show up!
Actually, Stuck's post brings up an important aspect of codependent relationships in general and this cult in particular: No matter what you do, it's never enough.

Priceless.
Tell him, "But Brother Elderly Elder, don't you know? Book bags are so, ... 20th Century!"

Disowning the God of the OT is not an Option
by cofty init's to their credit that many modern christians prefer the jesus of the gospels to the god of the old testament.. ot god is an embarrassment.
i am not going to list his multitude of moral crimes here but my personal favourite is his brilliant idea that a girl who is raped must marry her rapist.
it's not his biggest crime but it demonstrates a disregard for human feelings that is beyond the comprehension of every moral person.

Cofty: The savage god who demanded infanticide. The wicked god who endorsed slavery of the worse kind.
You left out his many instances of genocide. ... Oh, I see you got to that in your reply to Faye!
Simon: "He seemed such a nice young man but then we met his family"
That'd be funny if it wasn't so tragically true in this case.

After pondering this TEDTalk a bit longer, here's my take on it, in what I believe are slightly more accurate terms:
Begin with a number of highly-questionable possibilities from the emerging field of astrobiology, all of undefinable certainty. String them together with some wild, sciency sounding speculation and link them with a chain of "what if?" conjectures and "then maybe" assumptions. Add a few pop-culture references (zombies and internet porn) to sound hip while also getting some grins and giggles. Throw in a couple of optical illusions for the "Wow!" factor.
Then attempt to tie it all together--no matter how tenuous or weak the connection--to the general subject of physics as support for your thesis by telling us a few of the things that we do not know or understand about physics or the ultimate nature of reality. Finally, offer that up as "proof" of what you initially asserted while hinting that there's actually much, much more "proof" but you've simply run out of time and have to go now.

It's surprising to me that someone that actually won a Nobel Prize in physics would put together a presentation like this and expect to be take seriously.
It's an intriguing idea, yes it is. Great subject for discussion over a few glasses of your favorite adult beverage; this may, in fact, be a requirement for such discussions. But don't expect me to give it too much credence and start knocking on doors (real or simulated) to preach "the Good News of the Virtual Reality."
It shoulda' been titled: You Might Be in a Simulation, But We Really Don't Know for Sure and Nothing from the Field of Physics Can Disprove It!
If you'll excuse me, I have to go reboot the Universe. I don't like how this one is turning out.

I did, or at least I wanted to believe!
I still like the idea, just not in any universe with Jehovah in it.

That was interesting, but he didn't really get into the real arguments to prove his thesis. It seemed due to the fact that he ran out of time at the end.
Maybe we're just not supposed to know we're in a simulation!

i started this topic 5 years ago letting everyone know i had decide to get my ged and go to college in hopes of getting an education so that i could have a career instead of just a job.
i wanted fulfillment and a future, not just another job that has no really future in it.
