"Maybe they thought they would lose control over us if we did. Reading the Bible can result in a person acquiring a certain amount of independent thought. We can't have that now, can we?"


Precisely WHY the Dark Age was called The Dark Age ...

Mankind was spiritually dark because of the Roman Catholic stranglehold on spiritual matters because of mass uneducated ignorance

Few people could actually read, so few were knowledgeable

Priests had a powerful grip on how mankind could/would be manipulated

Think Friar Tuck of Robin Hood legend

Yes, Friar Tuck was a character wasn't he?
I believe you are rising to meet the day over there. Here, it is almost 6 PM, Sunday night. There is only one sin that I take great pleasure in these days, unlike in my past, where I enjoyed all kinds of sin. Right now, I am experiencing great temptation to commit that sin, by enjoying my assurance of salvation. Care to join me? 😇😆😎
