Okay, so there's this Chinese company putting fully autonomous trains in Australia. People are needed less and less every day. Clearly, the rise of the machines is upon us. If society is to be run by these indifferent machinations, how would changing our thoughts have any affect?
-
You can't think of other factors that affect quality of life? (and of a society? how is that measured?) You can't think of other sources of thought? You think reactions to words are completely predictable? This is "you can't go beyond what you are taught" Repackaged.

Or they fear acknowledging skeletons falling head over heals, ribs, femurs and everything else out of the closet. -
I was told a number of times that my birth was miraculous. Thanks to The Law of Believing. However, through diligent research, careful, rational thought, quiet observation and a hard look at the facts, I've learned something that I hope is one day backed by peer-reviewed literature: Human Beings are born every f'ing day.

Okay, I was not referring to coincidence. That would be philosophical. Often, for example, scientific discoveries are made by multiple people in different times and places. But history typically rewards one person above the others. Often, they had friends in power or just better marketing opportunities. Perhaps it is therefore wrong to credit anyone and just remember the discovery.

I wasn't accusing you of stealing, if there's confusion there. Ideas were forcefully taken and applied to many of the objects we are all using now. Doesn't mean we stole them. Doesn't mean we refuse to use them.
-
I don't think it's esoteric. What objects are you using now, where ideas were not stolen? What lands?

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2005/nov/23/comment.stephenmoss Somewhere on these threads the "truth is truth" argument is presented. If an idea is stolen, does that make it a bad idea? I believe stealing of ideas is commonplace in all fields. Pick any well known name, just start digging and you will find grayness. After all, great ideas will outlive their discoverer. All people will be forgotten. If ideas are lost, they will be re-discovered. Maybe?

"ziarnko" appears to mean grain, or penny, or small measure. Which I find ironic at the moment.

You'd have to define what results are and give examples. Chances are "put together a teaching" in this context means you put together random information that you subconsciously made to agree with previously accepted ideas. It isn't so much stealing as generating intelligently sounding gibberish. I could be wrong, since you haven't put forth an example.

Apparently, if you're good enough, you can get away with plagiarism. Machiavelli ya'll. https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2015/02/10/5-great-people-who-plagiarized/ In the end though, Boston University did investigate the allegations of plagiarism and, in 1991, found that King’s dissertation did contain plagiarism. However, while the school appended a note to the dissertation, it declined to revoke his degree saying that the dissertation, despite its shortcomings, still contributed to the field.

Leonard couldn't sue because of being in different nations?

It was horrible because you see the true nature of the follower. The damned eyes. The old folks were deceived and therefore innocent. The rest of us were and are not.

It's the renewed mind, again. Cultivate tunnel vision. Disregard other sensory input. Get comfortable with new reality. Learn implicit obedience.

So, the Key to ending Waybrain involves ants? Go to the ant, thow sluggard . . .

The publisher could have been sued out of business? They're probably sweating buckets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Christian_Press Always thought American Christian Press was an odd name for TWI to be associated with, considering "christian" was almost a curse word in TWI.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/08/14/hillary-clintons-spiritual-adviser-apologizes-for-plagiarism-day-before-release-of-his-book-of-emails-to-clinton/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.ea3b481890c2 For his part, the pastor whose words Shillady inappropriately used told CNN that he harbors no hard feelings. “The last thing the world needs right now is two pastors having a public dispute over a blog,” Deuel told the network. He also said, “If my blog then, in turn, inspired Rev. Shillady and it was used to encourage Hillary Clinton, then praise God for that! Could it have been done differently? Probably. But for me to fire back publicly would be inappropriate and out of line on my part. I have attempted to contact Rev. Shillady to process this with him. I trust that the grace and forgiveness we find through our faith in Jesus will lead us to grace and reconciliation with each other.” If Bullinger or Stiles came forward and said, "You know, my words via VPW inspired a lot of folks, and that's what matters." I still don't think I could operate manifestations effectively.

"man's fences" . . . . . BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!! Here's your fence you damned R&R numb nuts
-
So when R&R folks leave TWI, they get a bunch of likes on Facebook? How many have they cursed at for leaving in the years prior? Why not grovel in shame?
-
Kevin and Melody Carter were, among a group of other leadership, key to keeping me involved in TWI as a questioning teenager. Very nice people that I wish I had never been forced to meet.

I think that history is off, might be mixing that with spiderman. Yes I agree Superman was used as propaganda. I have not heard the argument that superheroes influence human evolution over millennia quite like a god or religion would.

Remember, TWI followers are better than Christains because the cross is a murder weapon.
