There was a further experiment along those lines, in which one person answered correctly. That broke the spell, and the target then also answered correctly. That's why they crush all opposing opinions.

I think she's between the first and second stages: The five stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

The parents of the murdered boy should launch a civil suit against him and take all his money.

i trust Kash. We have to assume Kash is better informed than we are. If he promotes someone, he has a reason. Perhaps Kash now holds his leash, or he wants him publicly exposed. Whatever the reason, I trust he had one.

Instead of a high speed chase, they should launch a drone to track the perp to his location. He would think he lost the ICE agents.

The original church structure was established by the Holy Spirit. It wasn't an organization, it was an organism. There was one church that was located in various localities. The church began to degrade during the times of the apostles. In 2 Tim. 1:15, Paul says that "all who are in Asia turned away from me." Paul wrote almost half of the New Testament. It was given to him to complete the word of God (Col. 1:25), and reveal the mystery that had been hidden from the ages and the generations (Rom. 16:25; Eph. 3:3). John wrote in Revelation that the church in Ephesus left their first love (2:4).The ultimate degradation was the Roman Catholic Church with its hierarchical system. The church in Rome should never have been catholic (universal). Then the Reformation broke away but began to divide into thousands of divisions, which is contrary to God's word also.

Evil is a corollary to man having a free will because the only 2 real choices are: We can choose God, or we can reject God (Jereminah 2:13). If we are unable to reject God, neither are we able to choose God. His desire is that we, of our own free will, choose Him.

So, that begs the question, Why does God want us to choose Him? Revelation 4:11 tells us that all things were created for God's will. God has a will, not just "for our lives," but He wants something for Himself. He doesn't hide the reason. Ephesians 5:23-32 shows us that He wants man to be His counterpart, like Eve to Adam, and wife to husband. That is the great mystery revealed there. Then jumping over to Revelation 19:7 and we see the marriage of the Lamb and His wife has come. In chp. 21, John saw the church as a holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband, having the glory of God (v. 11). Chp. 21 & 22 then give details of the city. But these details, according to Revelation 1:1 & 3 are signs, which are prophecies. Signs are symbols with spiritual significance. The Bible interprets itself. To understand the signs, you have to follow them through the whole Bible beginning in Genesis.

So, why does evil exist? It's because God wants humanity, a corporate person, as a counterpart, a bride, who will love Him and choose Him of her own free will. It is an irrevocable choice, because He comes into our spirit and becomes one spirit with us (1 Cor. 6:17) for eternity.

Sin is in our flesh. It's like a defect in our programming. It is the reason we get sick and die. This defect is there even before we are born, before we have done anything good or bad. This defect is "sin" that is located in the flesh. It came in through Adam and passed to all his descendants. Romans 7 shows sin acting like a person. In verse 8, it seizes opportunities to work out sins (our actions of trespass). Verses 15-17 shows that, sin in our flesh makes us commit sins; it even makes us do things we don't want to do. This sin in us has the nature of Satan. Satan's "genetic code" was uploaded into the Adam's germ cell line, was passed down, and operates in us automatically. It works out Satan's expression in us whether we like it or not. That makes us slaves of sin.

Christ came to be our trespass offering, for the things we have done, and our sin offering, for what we are. Once sin is out of the way, God can put His Spirit in us to take care of the damage sin has done in us. This is the new covenant revealed in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:27. This new covenant is what Jesus enacted on the night of His betrayal (Luke 22:20).

Adam did an act of disobedience and took Satan into himself. Taking the Lord's table (communion) is an act of obedience, receiving symbolically through faith, Christ and what He has done, into us.

Correlation is not causation. Everyone who drinks water dies. That doesn't mean water kills them. The reason a person is on psych meds is because they have psych problems. People with psych problems are more likely than others to do harm to themselves or others. I expect RFK Jr. will be looking at what causes mental/behavioral problems.

Yeah, it would have been good to have that discussion BEFORE the roll out of the mRNA with the scientists and doctors who claimed that it WOULD alter DNA. Instead, they were censored, cancelled, vilified, and fired.

Remember Ross Perot and his "giant sucking sound" prediction of business leaving the US after NAFTA?
