Because of Samadams 76 thread earlier:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3941981/posts

of what people would have thought about planes and contrails 200 years ago, what is one thing you would like to know about in history before you die.

I have several on my list.

1.How did the statues arrive on Easter Island.

2.How were structures built 1000's of years ago moving 100 ton stones into precise positions.

3. What was the purpose of the Nazca lines in Peru.

What puzzle would you like to know before you die.

your first answer is understandable. The second? As a young man I engaged in taming some horses(nothing like hollywood makes it out to be) But a woman?! That right there is a critter you’ll NEVER figure out! AND, if you think an unbroken horse can be mean... just get you a young woman. I’d rather break horses than deal with a young woman. Once you break a horse you can trust it. You can NEVER trust a woman!

How did we make the jump from non-organic matter to the first organic cell? Or, how we didn’t?

Who is the Antichrist?

Who attempted to tempt Christ?

Who already has received the ultimate 'death' sentence Ezekiel 28:12- 26

12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13 Thou hast been in *****Eden**** the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

20 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

21 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,

22 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.

23 For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

25 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.

26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God. ...

Isaiah 14: 12-27How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.

23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.

24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

.. Who was the 'tree of the knowledge of good and evil'... Christ declared in Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Hebrews 2:14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

I would like to have met the resurrected Christ. He appeared before 500. Not one of them is recorded as an unbeliever.

Because the ones doing the recording had an agenda / were not impartial. It would have been contrary to their interests to list those who expressed doubt. What you want is a skeptic in there, taking names.

By the way: You say "500." List their names and addresses, please. If you can't, it's "hearsay," and no court would give credence.

Regards,

It is not hearsay when they basically suffered and many died for their beliefs. Your standard of evidence would knock out 99% of what gets admitted into courts of law so it is completely invalid.

You need to completely re-examine your crappy attitude towards the evidence of the historicity of christianity because your very soul is at stake.

In addition, you’re likely taking down other impressionable souls into hell with you, so you will be held accountable.

What is the significance of the number 42?


If you add together all the numbers on the faces of two dice,

42 is the sum of (a) pair of dice, “the sum of paradise”!

Thank you very much — that was quite a response! I am going to copy and save it for future reference.

There is also the telling “wink” when LBJ took the oath of office on AF-1 in Dallas. I’ve seen the video a few times. Conveniently, you can’t find that on YouTube anymore.

For the most part, what you posted agrees with the research I’ve done. A couple of minor corrections.

JFK had signed an executive order to remove 1000 troops from Viet Nam by the end of 1963, and all 17,000 by the end of 1965. Not 64.

I think, but I’m not positive, Oswald was recruited to be the designated patsy, and thought he was working for, the CIA, not FBI. I’m not sure the FBI itself, other than Hoover, had much to do with it. Hoover was aware JFK planned to replace him after the 64 election, he wanted to keep his job. The CIA was pissed because JFK refused to send air support in the Bay of Pigs mess. The cuban rebels were CIA trained and funded.

Hoover hated JFK probably as much as LBJ did. According to what I’ve read, Hoover was up to his eyeballs in mafia contacts/friends too. Spent his vacations in a mob owned hotel in wackifornia, pissed off Jimmy Hoffa one year when he had to vacate the presidential suite because Hoover wanted it.

The Zapruder film proves Oswald was not the only shooter, that shot came from the front, near eye level or slightly below, Oswald was well above and behind, 6 floors up. His head was knocked backward, and a pink cloud of blood and brains sprayed behind him. Only possible from the front. Physically impossible if Oswald was where they claim he was, in a 6th floor window behind the car.

Several witnesses stated they heard shots from the “grassy knoll” area, or saw puffs of smoke there. Several smelled gunpowder, including at least one cop. Impossible if the shots came from the 6th floor. Zapruder said he heard shots behind him, he was on a raised concrete pad between Oswald’s position and the grassy knoll.

Oswald was also tested for gunshot residue, it was gound on both hands, but NOT on his right cheek. That means he might have fired a handgun, but definitely not a rifle, gsr would also be on his face if he shot a rifle. I think he probably brought the rifle, it was his, for someone else to use.

Empty rounds found at the Tippet scene were not 38 special, they were 38 auto. Different critter. Brands were also mixed. 2 of one brand, 2 of another, while slugs taken from Tippet’s body were 3 and 1. Try to find Conspiracy of Silence”, by one of the doctors who treated both Kennedy and Oswald. He lists several other inconsistencies, as well as some you listed. Witnesses also saw a man who did not fit Oswald’s description running away, carrying a semi auto, not a revolver. Oswald had a .38 revolver. And he knew he had been set up.

The same doctor also said he recieved a call from LBJ while Oswald was in the ER, telling him they had a man in the ER ready to take a “deathbed confession” from Oswald. So less than a half hour after Oswald was shot, LBJ had someone in the ER, armed, ready to get a confession from an unconscious suspect???

Jack Ruby was sent to Dallas years before, by the mob, to be the mafia “police fixer” there. He was originally a Chicago hood. That’s how he got into the police station, he was friends with most of their 1200 member police force and was there almost daily to begin with. Cops could drink after hours at his club any night, he gave away dozens of cases of whisky at Christmas. The cop on duty at the jail said Ruby was nervous and sweating profusely, asked for a cigarette, obviously very agitated, until he found out Oswald had died, then he immediately calmed down. When he offered another cigarette, Ruby said he didn’t smoke. He said it was obvious Ruby’s life depended on Oswald being killed.

90 seconds after the shooting, the building superintendant and a Dallas cop were in the 2nd floor cafeteria. Oswald was identified there, drinking a coke. Asked where he was during the shooting, he said there in the cafeteria having lunch. The cop saw no reason to believe he was being deceptive, he was not sweating or out of breath, calm and not apprehensive.

We’re supposed to believe he shot 3 rounds in 5.8 seconds, not easy to do with that particular rifle and have any accuracy at all, then hide the gun, run down 4 flights of stairs, wolf down lunch, and polish off half a coke (probably a bottle in those days) in 90 seconds, never break a sweat, and appear calm and collected when questioned by a cop????

Also. 3 empty rounds were found where the shots were fired. But one of those was discolored, and found 6 feet or so from the other two. I’ve been a shooter since age 5, I’ve shot everything but full auto, and I’ve never seen a shotgun, rifle or pistol, pump, bolt, semi auto or lever gun, that would sling ONE empty casing 6 feet from the others you just fired. I’d have to move several feet to get my single barrel breakover 12 ga to do that.

Also, in addition to the possibility LBJ would be off the ticket in 64, which I think was true, he and the Kennedys hated each other in the first place. LBJ had to blackmail them to get the VP spot at all, no way would they pick him as running mate of their own free will. I say they, because John and Bobby did everything together, politically.

John said LBJ embodied everything he hated about DC politics, Bobby called him an ogre. LBJ called them a pair of new england sissy boys. Blackmail was the only way LBJ could have gotten the nod, (he didn’t have the money to bribe a Kennedy) and all of DC knew it. Why was it no scandal?

Find “The Dark Side of Camelot”. Great book, tons of research went into it. Loads of info about the personal and political side of JFK, with just a short write up of the assassination.

There is so much more it’s just insane. Why was Kennedy’s body sent out of Dallas in a wooden casket wrapped in a white sheet, but got to DC with the brain missing (never seen again) and in a gray metal casket, and a body bag?

Why werecthe doctors who did the autopsy blundering idiots who hadn’t done an autopsy in years, if ever?

Why didn’t they trace the path of at least 2 shots in kennedy’s back and neck? Dr Crenshaw (treated JFK in tbe ER) said thr one in his neck was definirely an entry wound and from the front, the shot that took off half his head also came from the front. He saw gunshot wounds almost daily, he was on ER duty at Parkland on a regular basis for several years at that time, so he was very familiar with what they looked like. His book is excellent.

Why did the secret service take the body out of Parkland, where the autopsy should have been done by Texas state law, at gunpoint?

Why was it the secret service detail with JFK went out drinking (illegally) until 3am, while the LBJ detail was in the hotel asleep and stone cold sober?

Why did the white house switchboard suddenly go non functional at the very same time as the shooting, for about 20 minutes if I remember correctly. Why was most of the cabinet in the air over Japan? Or was it Phillipines...that never happened.

Why did around 50 witnesses die in the next several years, some of them under very suspicious circumstances?

So many questions, no answers, and almost everyone personally involved is now dead.

Oswald was killed so he couldn’t blab about the conspiracy. Once he realized he had been set up, he was guaranteed to talk. Ruby was used because he could get into the police station easily, and could find out when they planned to transfer Oswald to the county lockup.

I would like to know who was the person who saw a lobster, which looks like a giant spider, and said "I wonder what this ugly creature would taste like if we dropped it into a pot of boiling water and sucked the meat out from its claws and body cavity?

At least we learned to improve it over time with drawn butter.
