Surely we would have film crews there in the middle of the night filming everything. Isn't the FBI used to being stars in their own movie?

Find a new spiritual leader. A spiritual leader cannot teach above the level he is himself. If he is participating in inappropriate behavior, his instinct will be to justify it to himself and others. Find a spiritual teacher you consider more spiritually advanced than yourself, who can drag you upward, not downward.

Confronting would probably produce unexpected/ undesired results. Remember "shoot the messenger". Think about why you are going to this church - social activities, community outreach programs, learning to be a more spirtual being, something to do, friends go there, etc. Many people eventually learn necessary lessons from what we might consider inappropriate choices. Like recovering alcoholics can minister best to alcoholics, because they've been there, done that, and can explain how they moved forward to help those still suffering.

I've had one of those operating outside in the past. Unfortunately, the humidity here is already high, and the swamp cooler makes it worse. Even at night/ early morning, the temp is about 74 and the humidity is 72. Opening windows cools things down, but everything feels wet. This portable AC is pulling out 1/2 gallon or more of water per hour.

Passive cooling (fans, opening windows) can't cool you off when the outside temp is 34C/ 93F, which is what they want the people to do. 93F is pretty hot, particularly when the people are not used to it. On the other hand, it's been upper 90's in my location for several days. Not a problem usually, but my AC broke last Sunday, and the part won't be here for another 2-3 days. Bought a portable AC which is OK for one room, but at least it's temporary. Would not be so bad if there were trees for shade, but the tornado several years ago took the 100+ year old oaks down, and there are none around the house now.

Videos don't show on the GA page for me, either. But if one right clicks and copies the URL, then paste into a new tab, the video will play.

Not ruling it out, the kid's very smart. Also some of the comments seem "feminine" in a caring way, so I've also suspected Melania is one of the "voices".

Did any of the friends you ate with get sick?

Always conservative. Want criminals stopped in whatever way is legal/ appropriate. Pro family. Keep my guns. Want government out of my life, stop trying to control every aspect of my life with even the local town laws controlling buildings and making money off every thing we do. We even need a permit to have a yard sale! Stop this mess and greed. It wasn't nearly as intrusive when I was a young adult.

If it's green, it's probably an infection. You probably "smelled" whatever was in the compost (odor contains microscopic bits), and have bits of it in your nose, sinus, maybe lungs. A NeilMed sinus rinse with a squeeze bottle may be able to flush some of the crud out of your nasal passages. It would need done at least twice a day, maybe more. Green or yellow junk coming out usually means an antibiotic is needed, at least it has in my very allergy ridden past. Wash your bedding, clothing, and make sure to take a shower, washing your hair. Odors like mildew and other things can stick to hair and clothing, so when you lay in bed, it gets on the bedding. Then you sleep in it every night.

There are definitely words being said. Sounds like someone speaking over a loudspeaker at a race or event where you heard an announcement made, but you couldn't quite understand, and wondering if they called your name or not.

I was off one exit. Buc-ee's in Leeds, AL I-20 exit 140. Across the street is Bass Pro Shop. Behind Bass Pro is Barber Motorsports (look it up). Go East on I-20. Next exit east has a Walmart Supercenter; next one has the Love's Truck Stop.

It looks like he's holding his hand over something red sitting on the desk in front of him, with a flag behind him over his left shoulder. Try screen capturing the pixelated version, then pasting into a photo program, and reducing it. When it gets down to about 4% for me, the picture is obvious, but much smaller than a postage stamp, so difficult to see properly

I hope someone is gathering all of these quotes and putting it together with a little bit of interview and context because it would be an absolutely fabulous book that I would buy

Sometimes I can feel other people's energy when I'm talking to them, whether in person, or by phone, like I can "feel" them saying inside "I need to go", or can feel their puzzlement, or fear.

A number of years ago, during Covid time period, I was talking to a psychologist due to the amount of chaos going on in my life (by phone). I mentioned that the only thing keeping me sane was following Q and reading the Q postings. It seemed geared towards autists who did deep research on the posts. It kept me engaged, and I laughed out loud frequently. I immediately felt a tremendous fear coming from her. So strong that I never mentioned Q again. Wondered if all the psych docs had gotten word that the Q folks are bad or mentally ill and needed reported somehow. Never mentioned Q to her again, and to this day don't know why she had such a strong fear reaction at the mention of Q.

I made this note to myself several months ago so I would remember not to buy this brand. Came from Winn-Dixie. Pretty sure it was plastic, had to throw it out.

SO Delicious dairy free vanilla bean frozen dessert. Taste ok. Hard like plastic. Never melted. Never buy it again.

Yes. One reason is because you're teaching at the speed of the child, not the speed of the stupidest person in the room. Once they reach a certain age, they are capable of taking care of their own learning process with only a bit of oversight. Most original schools when our country was founded put all of the kids in one big room, and they all learned at their own speed , not what their "age appropriate grade" told them to learn . Many people have warped ideas about what homeschooling is, and have no idea of the number of field trips and sports activities that are organized plus the number of field trips the parent can create on their own while teaching particular subjects. So happy to see so many more kids getting home schooled these days! I did it 27 years ago when it wasn't particularly popular.

I went to the hospital emergency room in 2012. Based on the pain in my abdomen and my screaming they decided I had stage 4 cancer. It wasn't and I kind of knew it because it felt like a muscle was about to rip apart. I told the doctor if he found something treat it like a balloon and don't poke holes in it because I don't want it to spread. Don't wake me up, don't do a biopsy, if it wasn't supposed to be there take it out immediately. He wrote in my records that I "had some strange ideas".

So true! They come with new eyes looking at this great country, and talk about it in such awe that it makes me realize every time what a wonderful place we live in.

I follow several Youtube'rs who have decided to come to the USA for a visit, or travel here extensively in an RV. They've been brainwashed with their news to believe we have become almost a 3rd world country, with everyone carrying guns, and no one safe from being killed. When they get here, they find out it was all a lie, we are the friendliest people they've ever met, and our service people at stores, restaurants, and fast foods are the most attentive ever. After having an excellent day, they will have this weird look on their face and say something like "this is what they were warning us about??" Most want to stay here forever, and several expose the lies on their youtube channels, what they heard, vs. what they actually experienced.
