Yes, that wee ship was never seen again. Went down with all hands.

I suspect, the man he was, it was a way he wished to die. We want to keep having adventures, my husband and I, on a smaller scale of course. We are presently moving to a different country. Would love to see New Zealand. I watched the documentary about that island where the volcano blew up. Don’t want to go there 😳

What has happened to the resident Oracle? Questions seem to be lapsing unanswered. Maybe they were deemed to be alwaysunkind?

There were two succeesful and famous mountaineers. Bill Tilman and Eric Shipton. Both english gentlemen. One of them tells the story in a book he wrote that they were perched high on a mountain somewhere and Eric said to Bill. We have been climbing together for several years and we still call each other by our surnames, can I call you Bill and you call me Eric The answer was no. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Shiptonen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_TilmanI hope you enjoy reading about these two great men. I met Shipton's son a few years ago after he and a friend of mine crossed the Patagonian ice field. It is men and women like these that I find to be truly inspiring. You can call me what you like. [b What a great story. So funny. So of that time. Such civility. Such decorum as we lack today. I looked at their life account through your links. Adventurers of the highest ranks. Anyone can climb Everest now but in those days with none of the equipment of today. It meant something. How interesting to have met shipton’s son! Eleven dead so far this year.

Jesus never knew what a Bible was. There's a solid possibility that he may be horrified at what was written about him. Ummm Christ wouldn't have known? Since when? I agree with Wally on this one. Jesus/ the apostles spoke about that "to which the law and prophets testify" and Jesus also commonly said "it is written..." when quoting them, thereby giving authority to all written in the law and prophets. The Bible as we know it was pretty much self-selecting - it recognises all books that were recognised by Jesus and accepted by the early church (apostles) as being authoritative. After the time of the apostles, the writings were stopped and sealed off, with strong warnings in Revelation - by Jesus himself - about the addition of anything further.

Wow. That link is worth a look. The answer to why it matters whether "The Truth" trickled down or was started by a human is that people were lied to about it. That's the root of why people left after they found out. That's a reason many people today still don't know about Irvine & his band of preachers. People were also lied to about it not being founded by men like all the "false churches" - workers didn't come out and say it but it was intimated when the workers disparaged all the other ways/churches for being of man and not following scriptures (married preachers, take up a collection, etc.) I think many people feel as I do. If we can't trust the workers on our origins, what else are they hiding? Oh, yeah, molesting our kids while eating the food we provide and sleeping in the beds we provide. . . . Lying by words and actions. And I think most workers are sincere and good people but they're getting scrutinized more carefully because of the bad apples. The percentage of CSA in this way is mind boggling.

The percentage of CSA in this way is mind boggling. That's the crux of the situation. What can you believe, what can you trust, etc. Everything is now tainted to a degree. Because they have been found to be covering up CSA, not telling the truth about the beginnings etc. they have betrayed the people's trust. Those that don't see that, I can understand that, because it's far too hurtful to process yet. Anyone that comes from an abusive relationship isn't able to see just how abusive because of how it effects their psyche. Many times denial that it could be true is a very valid way of protecting themselves from the truth. A truth that could very well damage them as much as the abuse.

TIME IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE protecting children and men and women from this nightmare is . Further to that my GREAT GRANDKIDS will be protected by me . Do understand the evilness of this . No Bible or worker is gonna save your a$$ ! It’s dog eat dog 🐩 🐶 by the overseers . Some care nothing about what happens just as long as they are covered . If you think this rough , sorry , but put your seatbelt on securely . I am not a bitter ex , as I said I have children , grandchildren and great grandchildren . I will not allow this anymore . There are some very very good workers and friends . It took us 6 years to get this going . May your creator be with you ! Just curious Chinesewhispers. Do your children/grand children etc still go to meetings?
