I have kept up. Neither you nor your prophet have offered anything but evasion and name-calling. You suggest you may have an explanation, but you won’t share it with us because we aren’t worthy.

You suggest you are being persecuted by ‘rabid RCs’, but I’m about as far from a rabid RC as one can get.

What’s next for divine revelation? Imaprophet.com? Computer prophesy-generating software?

I’m not sure I’ve ever agreed with Petronski on anything, but this IS beginning to feel like bad performance-art...

I refer you to your post #354 above, where you say:

“I’ve pontificated at some length about false prophets and variouis reasonable criteria.”

So, a “pontificator” is either the head of the Roman Catholic Church, or a pompous, supercilious, dogmatist.

Which is it? That term has appeared in quite a number of your posts, referring to your rantings.
