(1)How was the populace of studied abductees related to the populace of abducties in general (or were all tested)?
(2)Does calling them abductees rather than, say, "people who claim to have been abducted" or something like that suggest some premises coming into the study?
And (3) How the heck are you?
1) I forget how the abductee sample was taken. The sample representing the general population was taken in very standard and kosher ways as was the sample for the abductees. Both samples were tested the same ways.
2) I don’t recall the labels used formally in the study. There was considerable effort to use standard neutral terms, IIRC.
3) Busy still glazing in the raised tomato bed. Outside crop has now died from first frost. Rescued some to the college greenhouse. Have 10 or so in the raised bed still looking quite happy. have 2 out of 6 top panels of polycarbonate in place and the end panels and one out of 6 front panels. Using plastic sheeting to fill in until I can get all the poly carbonate panels up. Earlier was cloudy and misting a bit but may be able to work on it now as the sun has come out.
Otherwise, classes are going well. Health is OK. Teeth still awaiting God’s touch or solution.
Still monitoring the prophetic field re supposed calamities on the near horizon.
Chinese high school student stayed in Flushing NY and parents came up with 2nd semester. Sounds like he has 3-4 closest friends at the church referred him to. Praise God for that.
Pottery is on hold until I get the tomato bed at least glazed in. May put up the foam insulation on the north back side largely today. Will see.
Church Men’s Retreat went very well. Was asked to lead Lord’s Supper and demonstrate footwashing as had led it in Taipei at many Cursillos/Tres Dias weekends there. Both were a blessed time and the worship times on the retreat were particularly full of the overt Presence of The Lord.
I guess I’m plugging along, encouraged in The Lord and productive with students etc.
HOW ABOUT YOU, DEAR BRO? How’s your feet, now . . . and the relatives of concern?
