Which brings up an interesting point: with such a short half life such weapons cannot be stored. The program to enrich the salting agent to a useful point has to be active not long before the weapons are used.

Or so it would seem to me.

I remember watching him years ago. He seemed a pretty reasonable person and was very knowledgeable about the Bible. I couldn't say about his particular Church dogma though.
What part did he get wrong? Just wondering.

Your numbers are wrong I think.
Thallium 181 has a 1/2 life of only 3 seconds.

I think you mean Thallium 208 which is a daughter decay product of U233 production.
It would probably kill anyone loading the weapon unless heavily shielded.

The research being reported on, involves particle beams of tantalum. What if the objective involves more of an orbital beam weapon?

What effect would a beam of tantalum atoms, moving at a good percentage of the speed of light, have on satellites? Or ICBM warheads or electronics?

“The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water—the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.”

I agree with you. I’m interested in this idea — from Carthage forward. I’ve never seen any documentation of it actually being done except symbolically. You’re right that you would need vast quantities and I’d imagine it would be leached out of the soil by rainfall in a relatively short period of time. Look at Carthage: After the Romans conquered it, it became a major grain growing center. It takes a lot to keep the corn dole going, you know!

Let’s see.

Isolation of congregational members from any non-member, especially including family. This also extended to keeping children from any involvement or interaction with their peers “outside” the church for any reason.

Women were treated as chattel.

Often contradictory directives regarding one’s comportment during Holy days.

Promotion of the most esoteric sections of the Talmud, especially the “food laws”.

“Encouraging” the donation to the church of whatever remained of one’s second tithe at the end of the Feast of Tabernacles. This in addition to the first tithe, and third tithe every 3rd year.

Herbie’s knowledge of the Bible was twisted to milk the maximum amount of money from the flock. He lived the high life while preaching restraint and frugality.

He was a typical mega-church charlatan that knew how to subtly brainwash and mislead while appearing reasonable and upright.

“To learn more about the prophecies of Matthew 24 and the profound hope that saturates them, read Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry’s booklet Nuclear Armageddon Is ‘At the Door.’”
... for the low, low price of only $19.95.

Back in the 60s I picked up a flier/brochure in the church lobby entitled "Strike From Space" which predicted a Soviet attack upon the U.S. from satellites in orbit by a certain date, and said we must remember to pray that it not happen. And, of course, donate (to whom, I forget). Looks like the prayers and donations worked!

“Who would want to kill everybody on Earth?”

Hillary comes to mind.

Obama comes to mind.

Soros comes to mind.

Any number of ayatollahs, mullahs and imams come to mind.

Yikes. Thanks, I didn’t notice that. You’re right about Armstrong.

PS ... this ‘too lazy to post it’ thing is really a hoot.
Score one for whoever thought it up.

It says Tantalum 181, not Thallium.

The tantalum is probably not made radioactive until the bomb explodes.

We’re safe for now, at least until those damn dirty apes raid the temple a few thousand years ahead of us...
