Amen. We thought we had all the right stuff... am thankful now to see that that presumption was erroneous.

Excellent and sharp point she makes i.e.... women no longer need to be silenced in public as was in recent history and culture at the time -- but Paul confirmed women deacons completely smashing that view. AI gave me a different take that was quite pleasing to me -- it said that verses about women being silenced in the church, should predominantly be interpreted as in the context of local Corinthian women causing a disturbance of local worship services only and not a general prohibition on women speaking altogether in church services.

Another musical genius who died early due to alcohol and drug abuse...

Sorry about that Raf! From now on, I will only comment on her non-political stuff as time allows-- Sure wish we had a little political corner...

This great song was a hit for the Miracles, the Beatles and Percy Sledge:

Agree! News reports (from independent media) proclaim over 60,000 + innocent Palestinians have been murdered in Gaza by Israeli Military onslaught. Complete hypocrisy from a religion that touts "thou shalt not kill" as one of its commandments. Or else, "Israel" is not who many think they are.

Here's a video that popped up on my YouTube page, no doubt because I've been watching Monte's videos; thought I'd post it here:

American Mafia -- thorough and enjoyable to hear the history of the Mob. When she was in NY she lived in Astoria... so did I for a year or so...memories...

Love the string bass ... played it when I was in high school (HS of Performing Arts, Manhattan)

The murder-suicide of Zack and Addie ... horrible and gruesome... he suffered from PTSD already ... THAT plus the drug abuse was enough to open up the trap door allowing the evil spirit(s) to enter ...

I'll try to watch as much of her stuff as I can... she's got alot there. It may be helpful for someone simply to mention a topic that she believes in and we can discuss it outright rather than watch the video... "Legend of the Bell Witch" -- No problem believing it... evil spirits and related activities etc.

Dear Folks, The discussion about the positive effects of Ozempic got me to thinking about this topic. What is your opinion? The general idea is that cancers are largely caused by parasites in the body that feed on glucose and these parasites can be starved with the proper diet. Below is data from AI: AI Overview There's growing interest and research around the potential link between low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets and cancer treatment and prevention . The underlying idea is that many cancer cells rely heavily on glucose (a type of carbohydrate) for energy and growth, a phenomenon called the Warburg effect. Here's a breakdown of the key points: Glucose Deprivation: By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake (as in a ketogenic diet), the body shifts from using glucose to burning fat for energy, producing ketone bodies. This can create a metabolically unfavorable environment for cancer cells, potentially hindering their growth and survival. Insulin and IGF-1 Reduction: High carbohydrate intake can lead to elevated blood glucose, which in turn increases insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) levels. High levels of these hormones have been associated with promoting tumor cell proliferation. Low-carb diets aim to normalize these levels, potentially reducing cancer risk and slowing tumor growth. Ketone Bodies and Cancer Metabolism: Some research suggests that many cancer cells, unlike normal cells, may not be able to effectively utilize ketone bodies for energy. This could give healthy cells a metabolic advantage while simultaneously starving cancer cells. Evidence from Research: Preclinical studies (in vitro and animal models): Have shown promise, demonstrating that low-carb and ketogenic diets can slow tumor growth, reduce tumor incidence, and potentially enhance the effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Clinical Trials: Limited human clinical trials, mostly small and non-randomized, suggest that low-carb diets may be safe and feasible for cancer patients, potentially showing some benefits like reduced tumor size or improved treatment response. For example, one trial found that breast cancer patients on a ketogenic diet showed a better response to chemotherapy. However, larger, well-designed trials are needed to draw definitive conclusions. Important Considerations: Metabolic Flexibility: Some cancer cells have shown the ability to adapt and utilize other energy sources when glucose is restricted. Potential Side Effects: Some studies suggest that ketogenic diets could potentially increase the risk of tumor metastasis in some cases, highlighting the need for further research on the potential risks and benefits in humans. Individualized Approach: The effectiveness of a low-carbohydrate diet may vary depending on the type of cancer and individual metabolic characteristics. Professional Guidance: Anyone considering adopting a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet for cancer treatment should consult with their oncologist and a registered dietitian nutritionist to ensure it's appropriate and safe for their specific situation.

Thank you WordWolf; I will attempt to try all that as time allows...

You too? I hope you're doing great on it and feel good Rocky.

BTW Seth, I forgot to ask you before but what is considered the top dose for Ozempic? Thx.

You may be correct... I did a little numerical research (AI OF COURSE) and that average of wow ambassadors to rock attendees is greater than even in 1974 when the first 1000 ambassadors were commissioned...

Is The Way International a Christian Nationalist group?
oldiesman replied to penworks's topic in About The Way
Yes I've heard of household voting as opposed to one man/woman one vote. I wanted to know what AI said about the early Catholic Church and it appears in basic agreement with paleo-confederate views. Here's the response: Did the traditional Catholic Church of the last century believe in "household voting" as opposed to allowing women to vote? While the Catholic Church never officially adopted a stance on women's suffrage, the idea of "household voting," where the male head of the household casts the vote for the entire family, was not a formal doctrine or teaching of the Catholic Church in the last century. However, Strong resistance to women's suffrage was prevalent within the Catholic community, particularly among conservative segments. Many Catholics, like others at the time, expressed concerns about the potential impact of women's voting rights on family life and traditional gender roles. Some even linked women's suffrage with socialism, which they believed opposed Christian values. Catholic authorities promoted a gender system that attributed different roles to men and women, emphasizing women's roles in maternity, education, and family care, while men were expected to handle public and economic affairs. The notion of women's subservience to their husbands was also present within Catholic teachings of the early 20th century. This perspective could have implicitly supported the idea that the male head of household should represent the family's political interests, rather than women voting independently. It's important to remember that despite these prevalent attitudes, there were dissenting voices within the Catholic Church who supported women's suffrage. Therefore, while the concept of "household voting" was not an official Catholic teaching, the prevailing views on gender roles and family structure within the Church, especially in the early 20th century, aligned with and reinforced the societal norms that resisted women's individual participation in the political sphere.
