Dr. Taylor Marshall, Protestant turned Catholic, is well-qualified to explain the intricate differences as he has been with both groups for several years of his life. I like his explaining Catholic beliefs more so, since me having left TWI with much questions and basic disgust of the Catholic Church, Dr. Marshall hopefully explains these details in a way that Protestants may be a little more tolerant of Catholics.

Went over this thread again and the Owasso statement again, then viewed Ward's video again: he says it right in his video that these ideas are a form of racism, i.e. a "national people" are the 'only' people of God.. All Owasso had to do was say that these Anglo-Saxon people's and others honored and accepted Christ as Lord and Savior; then and only then are they God's people because they honor the Son. Jesus said that whoever honors the Son, honors the Father; he who doesn't, does not. etc. The truth of Christ's Messianic Mission is quite simple but seems to elude the adherents of other religions... like them having a blindfold covering their eyes. Reminds me of Paul having to have those scales removed before being converted?!

any photos available?

I did that once myself... told a guy in high school that I thought homosexuality is perverted... so he called me perverted. But I was and am thankful that we learned the correct doctrine about homosexuality in TWI, LCM's rants notwithstanding. Not only is homosexuality wrong, it's an abomination. "I didn't write the book" as VPW would say. I want to please God though, so a part of my morning prayers consist of asking God to show me how He feels about important issues like this so that I may make a deliberate daily attempt to walk in a way that is well-pleasing to Him.

Powerful reflection of a lost love ...

WordWolf's admonition to avoid relying on a single source is mandatory. I need to buy a new video editing software, as the one I've been using (Windows Movie Maker) is no longer supported or even available to be downloaded correctly. Did a search for one similar on AI platforms Gab, Perplexity and IASK, and got 3 different answers!

Been busy the last couple of days but had to post this... running through my head... "can't sleep, can't stop my brain..." nice photographs there too...

Actually it's still not working for me... I don't get the activity row automatically, I have to choose it now.

Works now... probably only me thx...

No. I went back to some test results here they are: 11-2015 = 1.9 1-2018 = 2.6 12-2018 = 3.8 4-2019 = 2.9 12-2024 = 3.8 9-2025 = 2.5

Sorry to bring this question here but didn't know a quicker way. Was there a format change? I no longer have the "activity" option up on top, to see the latest postings in time order. Don't know if everyone has this problem or only me. Please help, thanks.

Yes. I think it's predominantly turning a blind eye to all the past negatives. Another reason that I think is present in all religions and all peoples, is determinedly not taking a look at other religions.

STL the antidote is very simple: go to confession, be very sorry for the sin and you have a clean slate. I think the greatest hardship was experienced by our Lord Jesus Christ, who paid the ultimate price.

WordWolf, I think it's ok to post a video or AI piece only if it's used as a common frame of reference for vibrant discussion. If not, then I wholly agree with your concern. Thank you.

Of course... what I do with these partial silver coins is go to a local coin dealer or coin show and cash them in for current silver melt value at the time.

Go to bank(s) where you have an account, and ask for Kennedy Half Dollars. They may have some as people bring them in all the time, thinking they are only worth 50 cents. Maybe they are, but maybe they aren't. Employees usually are silent but will offer what they have in stock and sometimes you may get back a variety of coins containing valuable silver. Make sure to ask if there's any around from ALL tellers in the bank because one teller may have some while another may not. These are the current melt values as of September 19, 2025: 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar (90% silver): $15.50 1965-70 Kennedy Half Dollar (40% silver): $6.32 1971-2001: $0.50

WordWolf recently alerted us to the potential dangers of AI, so I thought it'd be appropriate to start a thread on everything about AI with WordWolf's gracious help. It's here and vibrant. This Google video popped up on my screen only this morning:

Stayed Too Long, Thank you for starting this thread, it's well worth a thorough examination.

OK.

George, just got back my most recent PSA results, it was 2.53.

Which son of Noah did you come from? This is from iASK: The lineage of Italians, according to various historical and biblical interpretations, can be traced back to Japheth, one of Noah's three sons. This connection is primarily established through Japheth's descendants who are associated with regions that later became part of Europe, including Italy. According to www.iAsk.Ai - Ask AI: The Generations of Noah, also known as the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 of the Hebrew Bible, outlines the dispersion of Noah's descendants after the Great Flood.[1] This genealogy lists Noah's three sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—as the progenitors of all human peoples.[1] [2] Japheth's descendants are broadly associated with the peoples of the Aegean Sea, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and Europe.[3] [4] Specifically, the Roman-Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, in his Antiquities of the Jews, connected Japheth's son Javan with the Ionians and all Grecians, and his grandson Tarshish with the Tharsians, whose city Tarsus was in Cilicia.[5] Later interpretations further elaborate on these connections. For instance, some Jewish traditions, as cited in the Aramaic Targum of Pseudo-Jonathan ben Uzziel and elaborated by scholars like Don Isaac Abarbanel, suggest that the descendants of Tarshish eventually settled in Tuscany and Lombardy, contributing to the populations of cities like Florence, Milan, and Venice.[1] [6] In the 7th century AD, Hispano-Roman archbishop and scholar Isidore of Seville, in his encyclopedic work Etymologiae, traced the origins of most European peoples back to Japheth.[4] This assertion was widely adopted and developed by scholars across Europe into the 19th century, reinforcing the idea of Japheth as the progenitor of European nations, including those that would form Italy.[4] While the Bible itself does not explicitly name "Italians" as direct descendants of Japheth, the broader ethnological interpretations and historical traditions consistently link Japheth's lineage to the European continent, thereby encompassing the ancestral lines that would eventually form the Italian people.

Some great tunes in this thread, thank you!
