The challenge we face is not beyond telling the story of what we know or experienced first hand. IF TWI "missionaries" in Africa or South America abuse people, it will be up to people they know to seek out GSC or any other outlet telling the stories.

But it can be saved as a pdf document. I did.

I started two years ago this month. I'm doing well. thanks.

Check the top of this thread... maybe you did.

Great question.

It was actually Oldiesman quoting Mike. I'm not sure this insight was unique to Victor Wierwille.

That I quoted a claim made by George Orwell doesn't prove or disprove anything. It does, however, give you some food for thought... if you wish to exercise it.

Excellent characterization.

Intriguing, Oldies, that you refer to AI as "our friend." There have been posts on TWI before that had hallmarks of AI. Clearly, AI, which Harari calls Alien Intelligence, is far from perfect.

I'm reading George Orwell's 1984. In Chapter 5, this expression caught my attention, "Orthodoxy was unconsciousness." Orwell, George. 1984 (p. 63). Gates Classics. Kindle Edition.

Rightfully so.

If you go to YouTube to view the video, that might help. By any chance do you use a private virtual network? The issue may be related to that... if so it might be CBS news doesn't like that. I viewed it on YT with no problem.

I'm hoping that when Ken Burns' (not the one who was in the 9th Way Corps) latest project, a 12-hour (magnum) opus on the American Revolution, airs in November 2025, there will be a worldwide renewed reverence for what Burns declares has been the most important event in world history since Jesus Christ.

Oh.

1) Men wrote the scriptures, not God. 2) How would the scenario you suggest God should/could have used have proven his existence?
