If history is a guide, no amount of broken predictions will convince most of the true believers that their faith is misplaced.

Cause we're ignorant sheep and cultists Jack?

Not enlightened beings like you, Jack?

Have you come among us to show us the way, Jack?

ME (previously): If history is a guide, no amount of broken predictions will convince most of the true believers that their faith is misplaced.

ME: (now) This was a general statement about the nature of true belief. I do feel that examples, like the one I gave of the failed prophecies of various 19th century preachers, are apropos. Sorry if that cuts a little too close to the bone for comfort, Bagster.

BAGSTER: (in italics) Cause we're ignorant sheep and cultists Jack?

I don't say that. Right now I think the most rational position is waiting. Only time will tell if people's faith in Q was misplaced or not. But even if Q is debunked in some sort of comprehensive way, I am sure that some people will keep on believing. People here have admitted that this is a religious belief for them.

Not enlightened beings like you, Jack?

Ha, ha, ha, ha ha. Look in the mirror, Bagster. You are the one who claimed to be "the lesser oracle", not me. You are the one who bragged only a few posts ago that "My powers are vast and beyond your comprehension. :) (OK, I note the smiley face, so I will take it as sarcastic --in part.)

Of course I don't claim to have any special knowledge! That's the entire theme of my writing on these threads.

Have you come among us to show us the way, Jack?

Hardly. In fact I've asked a you, as my main protagonist here, a few simple questions. I posted them on the previous thread, and I posted them on this thread. But still, no answers.

That is, of course, your choice. You are under no obligation to do so. However it does not bode well for your sincerity. You prefer to toss out rude littel asides and you keep on with ad-hominum attacks. In a formal debate, points are deducted for attacking the speaker and not the topic. This isn't a formal debate, I realize, but I try to maintain my principles.

A review of the last 50 or so posts will show that I take considerable time to answer any question or criticism sincrely put forward to me. For the most part I try to ignore mere insults, but on occasion I have fallen short of my goals on that.

My next set of questions will be addressed to the thread at large.

Perhaps there are others who are pilgrims on the journey who will take a sincere interest in communicating in good-faith about the questions which seem self-evident to me, and not just smashing me around for not being a part of the in-group of true believers.

Postscript: Someone did say: see what happens if Q is injected in a non-Q thread. I did see some quite rude responses on a non-Q thread to someone posting stuff, when I went to look.

So, the problem goes both ways.

I am trying to act a bridge, not a roadblock, to understanding. Starting with MY OWN.

Cheers!

I was always under the impression that 6-11 (the latest original IG release date) was what Q was pointing at as BOOM-worthy. That date has been changed

Again?!

Well, thanks Bagster.

I have not read all the thread posts, but let me say this:

1. The fact that the IG report is being redacted to soften the blow against Obama/Lynch/Comey/Hillary is a Frickin Outrage

2. These "date changes" are criminal

I know others have said it, but it might be time to send in the Marines in Ospreys to forcefully seize the HQ buildings of DOJ, FBI, and CIA.
