Perhaps because of a pervasive practice of sexual predation and depravity? That's what I was getting at. Perhaps my post above also was too ambiguous.

True! But what risk in particular?

Frankly, I don't believe the idea originated with Kirk. I concur w/ the edit.

I'm leery of AI generated answers because we generally don't know how broadly the particular model has been "taught." In this case, it occurs to me that the scenario presented by the AI seems to make inferences about why/how low-carb diets may work to minimize cancer risks. There MAY be other mechanisms at work to cause the effect in the scenario. For example, I've gotten info from VA dietitians that suggests it's not just a matter of ketogenic diets. Rather over the course of more than two decades, they've advocated eating fruits and veggies which may not necessarily be strictly low-carb. However, it's worth doing more research and I hope there are people exploring these questions. Thanks Oldiesman for your post.

LOL! That and a few rhetorical tricks.

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.

Orthodoxy was unconsciousness. Orwell, George. 1984 (p. 63). Gates Classics. Kindle Edition. Think about it.

Orthodoxy was unconsciousness. Orwell, George. 1984 (p. 63). Gates Classics. Kindle Edition. Vern and company are trying to re-establish the cult orthodoxy. George Orwell saw through it well before Victor Wierwille or Loy C Martindale entered "Christian ministry." Ponder the underlying meaning of Orwell's proclamation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodoxy

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.
