  1. Past hour
  2. One if my husband's relatives was born white and died, shorty after as black, A midwife on PEI delivered a baby to an evidently caucasian mother and listed the baby accordingly. That child died days later and the father carried the remains to the coroner who looked at the dad and listed the baby from that. My late husband's 1940 birth certificate says "colored,"
  3. Apropos of your point, the timing could not have been more fitting.
  4. Today
  5. Gaming the system is an expression that is sometimes misapplied but more often apropos
  6. Catherine the great of Russia died from a stroke according to medical tests. Incidentally, BESTialty begins with the syllable BEST, not Beast.
  7. Meriwhether Lewis had more than one gunshot when he died. It is unusual for suicide to feature more than one shot, but I have no opinion on his demise other than that he had a sad end.
  8. HITOP His interests troubled other people. DELNS
  9. Nunnery is where Hamlet told Ophelia to go and is a difficult word to end a sentence with in this game.
  10. Ask Jeremy Regarding Street Witnessing G U Y B B
  11. I worked for a company that tried to clean up coal. I worked there from 1972 until 1986. It was a complete failure. There is no such thing as clean coal and there definitely isn't, and never has been beautiful, about coal. Solvent Refined Coal (SRC) never worked. Even when they renamed the plant Thermal Liquefaction (TL) it still didn't do any good.

  13. I thought about starting a now topic about plastic pollution, but I don't think there would be much to post. The plastic industry knowingly pushed recycling myth for decades, new report finds https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/the-plastic-industry-knowingly-pushed-recycling-myth-for-decades-new-report-finds

  15. I am related to names mentioned about the Melungeons, mostly Mullins, but some others also. My paternal grandmother was a Mullins.
  16. As a suggestion for next time, have a stronger case before jumping on the conservative talking points bandwagon.
  17. https://www.discoverwalks.com/blog/united-states/40-famous-melungeons-and-their-impact-on-history/ Abraham Lincoln certainly had strong and unique features. Another recommended article.
  18. p.s. My mother's Sicilian Uncle said I was kicked out of the family for marrying my DH. They were all of darker complexion than my husb or kids. Strange, huh? My husband's father was African and Sicilian.
  19. I will only refer to what I have already said and add that fighting does not always take the form of physical violence. Plenty of people use those words for any number of things (e.g., sports). I’m not going to say anymore.

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      Why the trinity cannot be true:
       
      Since God is a completely perfect being, there cannot be a second person who is God, for they would have to differ in some way, and to differ from complete perfection is to be less than perfect and not be God.

      My deep love for my heavenly father and his confirmed love for me seems to be the only thing keeping me going lately. Picturing being reunited with my earthly father again; seeing the happiness versions of ourselves bring comfort to my scarred, broken heart. I love you, even when I haven’t met many of you. Keep enduring friends, paradise is just around the corner...

      I tried to change my handle to 'whoosh>' but the system doesn't allow. It would be good to know the rules beforehand on what is not permitted. 😮‍💨

      I am thoroughly convinced that 99% of people are programmed, and only 1% really think & reason on matters.

      As an example, how did the above statement make you feel right away?

      Did you:

      1. Feel a twinge of offense?  Like I was insulting you or someone you know?

      2. Not feel anything?  Because you knew it wasn't about you or someone you cared about?



      If you answered either 1 or 2, you are programmed.

      Now are you offended?  

      Any knee-jerk reaction = programming.  🤔🤔🤔

      When I originally made that statement, if you are not programmed, then perhaps you asked yourself:

      1. Could this apply to me?
      2. Could the brother be mistaken?
      3. Is there any truth to what he's saying?
      4. What is the brother trying to convey with this thought?
      5. Is this situation even worth my time and attention?

      We need knee-jerk reactions for life-or-death situations.  For snap decisions that cannot wait.  But this isn't one of those.  You have time.  Did you ask any of those questions when you read my first statement?  Did you ponder over it at all?

      NOW how do you feel?  A little enlightened?  Mind opening up to new possibilities for responding to situations?  Or more upset because this brother has no idea what he's talking about?  

      In any case, hope you had fun with this thought experiment....

      If you've received a shepherding call & things got better, please let the shepherds who shepherded you know.  It makes our day!!!  

      I got to hear about the immediate improvement after our last shepherding call with a sister who has an unbelieving husband.  Prayers answered!!
