What will you be doing in Texas? Is the Department of Corrections transfering you to a penitentiary there for your trial?

Close! :) im going down there to stake out the joint and see if it would be a good place to move to. I'm looking in the San Antonio area for jobs, cost of living, commutes, etc.. I grew up in So cal desert valley so i should be ok with the climate. Maybe I'll meet a nice girl there too.

I better pack my twine, bubble level and plum bob too. Gotta go old school since i dont have a transit level handy.

I've been saying it's a conspiracy for a long time now. G.L.O.W. is a powerful organization backed by the CIA, and both have vested interests in the Round Earth Myth (REM, also a type of sleep.)

CIA? :shock:
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

I'm wondering if that's a satire site. most people in their forums dont believe in a flat earth or do so in obvious jest. I wonder how the flat earth model explains the phenomina of it being early morning in Florida, while being dark of night in California. y:-?

It's not a satire site. And, they have an answer for every question one could think of. It's actually quite bizarre.

yeah im seeing that now and seeing that their answers fail miserably, the few that they have anyway. Mostly all i read is them answering with conspiracy, avoidance or "your just wrong about everything and I'm right". Sounds like someone else we know. Everything that I've read so far in support for their theory is scientifically and mathematically incorrect or would only work for hyper specific, theoretical times and places. for example they claim they have calculated the distance from earth to the sun at 3,000 miles, but their math only works if you are standing on the equatoe during the equinox. Any other day or any other location doesn't work...and yet they don't seem to care.

I'm just blown away that people really believe this and honestly can't see the reality they live in everyday. This makes the idea that people all over the world will follow one evil leader in the end times even more of a frightening reality.

There are certain things science has been able to show us about our world that we didn't understand before because we couldn't. Science has been a great vehicle for us to better understand God's world, and is by no means proof that religion is wrong as many would suggest. So to answer your question, no. Don't believe untrue things religious leaders say about God's world that you know are fact.
