You didn't answer the question andy ! Do you believe the 2x2 is the only right way, YES OR NO ! “Can the gift be greater than the alter that it’s offered on” 🤷♂️ andy don't you understand the question ? All that is required is either yes or no ?

Cherie, thank you for posting what you did in the cult thread. Today, years later, I stand by every bit I posted way back then. Workers used Wally’s reasoning regarding Therold’s behavior way back then. He had many who obtained honor and favor through him and his oversight. Once I did also.
Actually, I made no accusations for many years against either him or the popular worker given over to homosexuality. Only after they both sought to add to my plight by outright lies did I begin to rethink my silence.
Wally, has it not occurred to you that people may know there is no other side to a true account? The problem with untrue accounts are simply that they change as years pass. My account has NOT changed, and will not change throughout eternity. It simply is what it is. My own parents believed Tharold, why should I expect anyone here to believe me in my account here or anywhere since. People who did know of the thruth of my situation have respected my request of them to just let it die, lest they find themselves in the same situation as myself.
it has been told to me that I left this forum here over “money.” Totally untrue. I left here over my aging and faulty memory, AND that I believe Psalms One gave direction to do so. I miss those who I still consider my friends, including any atheists, and others, to whom I will always owe apology for my failing memory.
Sincerely,
Dennis Jacobsen

Sincerely, Dennis Jacobsen i did not know there was a written account of what happened i've now read the excerpt cherie posted but as your own account suggests it still leaves some questions but for the sake of peace i'll not comment anymore on your situation regardless if others do......

Thanks So the book of Genesis , is the book of the beginning of mankind, and the beginning of the Melchizedek priesthood, And the beginning of the chosen plan. (there were things before the creation.... such as the domain wherein “G-D” dwells/dwelt. And perhaps (angels /Lucifer )) G-D created animals (and serpents??) and Adam named them. G-D could communicate with Adam and He did. And then G-D created Eve, and Eve “communed “(as per concept...) with the (“Serpent”/Lucifer?). (Immediately the serpent is cast down and not “heard” from again. even Lucifer isn’t around for some period of time Nevertheless , the creation of our “mankind” (singular or plural) is briefly chronologged in Genisis, and left to be continued in the Exodus’s............ hmmmmm, imo

Glad to see you are back and posting. Why not rejoin? After all, you and I have been poking at one another since the Common Ground Forum! Who better than you for me to poke at? Memories fail. Many studies have been done to show the malleability of even the memories that we cling to with the most conviction. I recently had the opportunity to revisit a place from my past and had the difficult task of having my memory confronted with hard physical evidence. So sign up - come on back.

It's not a fault, it simply is how life goes. We would much rather have you back then have you worry about not remembering something. I have always known if I forget something, someone will remind me!

Yet , even with such kind words , the proof is quite plain to see, Nevertheless, you have no basis for claiming that a(theism) is anything but a myth, and that is/has been documented on my previous several analogies, but it is certainly nice to see an acclaimed lawyer (Mark Lanier) Weigh in on the scale of balance , with much prejudice and integrity. He read all the books written on the subject, and as A good logician/lawyer knows a poorly defended concept/hypothesis when it is presented in court. Thank you for responding, I may bump a past original post! 🙂

Dear Dennis, Thank you for returning, even as a guest, at least we know you are still ok. It is a very feeble society that cannot withstand the forgetfulness of another member. I would hope that all on this forum are able to rise above such feebleness and welcome you back with open arms and hearts. We miss you xxx

How dare you talk like that about someone you don't even know!
I knew that you were ignorant of a lot of things but now you have also revealed your lack of character as well!

Thank you for responding, How could a(theism) be a "myth?" Myths proclaim something to be true.
Does Atheism claim to something to be true? No, Atheism simply states that there is NO proof of the supernatural & paranormal things that "theists" claim to be true.
Also Why should it make any difference if someone is an "acclaimed lawyer?" Or that he has "read all the books written on the subject?"
When it comes to theism, -he is no longer an attorney. He is just one more Christian apologists in a barrel of others like himself.

It seems you would accept Creation , if it could be proven.
Thus , strictly speaking you are more or less an agnostic, (One that is waiting for proof).
So that means , there is hope , a lot of hope . 🙂

So that means , there is hope , a lot of hope . 🙂 You can prattle on for as long as you wish. I do not believe in paranormal entities. God, faeries, elves, trolls, etc all included. As I have said, I try to base my beliefs on verifiable facts. As it stands, there are no verifiable facts to support the existence of paranormal entities, the ones I mentioned as well as all others, so I do not believe they exist. I do not question their existence. I am not agnostic in that regard. If, however, verifiable facts are presented I will evaluate them in regards to my beliefs and make the changes needed to accommodate the new data. So you can go on and on about what you feel I believe but unless I am very bored you will not be getting an reply.

Hello, my real name is Dennis Jacobsen. I have returned because of the kindnesses of others, and people should already know whom they are. Thank you.
Smile! it does not mean I agree with anyone’s atheism, just that like my Lord, I let people believe what they will, and expect the same in return.
I am still shook up over the aspect of my complete memory failure here. Such is part of my life.
My neighbor lady told Katie some real whoppers about me today. Naturally Katie told me. Unbelievable, and totally impossible. Had it occurred a couple of months earlier... but it really shook me up. Supposedly Ylva’s 4 sisters related the wild story to her while standing in our combined driveway in 1989. Problem? Ylva had NO sisters and neither my neighbor nor we were even living here then! I may be 75 years old, but I could not have forgotten THAT! The account was so preposterous Katie knew it was untrue!
Anyway, I am who I am, and, yes, I am ashamed of anything I ought to be that I am not.
No, Wally, not going to relate my neighbors wild accusations! Guess that must make them believable for some! Huge sigh!
Not doing so well these days, but could always be worse! Nearly totally deaf, the VA just gave me improved hearing aids today. Very thankful for them. Wanting to operate our new 50 hp diesel lawnmower for the first time tomorrow. Maybe just wishful desires...
S’ all.

So the book of Genesis , is the book of the beginning of mankind, and the beginning of the Melchizedek priesthood, And the beginning of the chosen plan. (there were things before the creation.... such as the domain wherein “G-D” dwells/dwelt. And perhaps (angels /Lucifer )) G-D created animals (and serpents??) and Adam named them. G-D could communicate with Adam and He did. And then G-D created Eve, and Eve “communed “(as per concept...) with the (“Serpent”/Lucifer?). (Immediately the serpent is cast down and not “heard” from again. even Lucifer isn’t around for some period of time Nevertheless , the creation of our “mankind” (singular or plural) is briefly chronologged in Genisis, and left to be continued in the Exodus’s............ hmmmmm, imo Is Genesis the only mythical account of the beginning of humans? there are many others you know.
hmmm. the truth is that “atheism” is the only mythical account of the beginning of mankind. The truth is the biblical account that has been so graciously preserved through the millinials .... Aren’t you glad to know that. 🙂
