In some ways, it’s definitely easier sneaking in - at least if there are reliable connections, documents etc. US Immigration does seem to treat foreigners as if guilty until proven innocent - even before 9-11. I wonder why they want all incomers to have the experimental shot… deterrent? Tracking? A...

I often feel like it would be easier to get into the USA in the back of a truck or a shipping container than through an airport and doing everything by the book. American immigration control is nuts for foreigners. They fingerprint and photograph you now apparently as if you are a criminal. I doubt...

It's interesting to work out where some of these things originate from. "Craig" is quite a common name in Scotland. It is an old Celtic word for a rock and may well be a doublet of "Peter" even though most people aren't aware of that. "Charles/Karl", "Adam" a...

One thing I'm noticing is that the "alternative" options are less measured and more sweary.

Simon (Shimon), James (Yacob), John (Yochanan) are all common Jewish names. There are a number of Simons, Judases (Yehuda), Josephs (Yosef) and Jacobs in the Bible.

I think it's commendable that he does this. However, he would learn a lot more if he visited in disguise. Ironically that would be a good excuse to mask up. Best thing he could do is cultivate some informants (or "touts"). Folk at ground level who would be honest with him. Or like that 'u...

I didn’t know this happened last year in Hawaii & Guam… “U.S. officials confirmed that previous balloon incidents involving China occurred near Hawaii and Guam last year… In February 2022, a balloon appeared to be stationary in international waters northwest of Kauai, Hawaii, the officials said...

Oaks stood up and said he likes to show up at wards randomly when he doesn't have an assignment because he likes to "see the real church" that he doesn't get to see when he's at stake conferences. Obviously I don't love the individual but I respect that. I'm sure he's aware there is a dee...

You put both in the title.

One of the ladies who bore her testimony was released as young women's president. In her testimony she talked about how she missed COVID because the young women couldn't go anywhere so they would all come to young women's. They would set up chairs 6 feet apart in a big circle and wear masks and she...

Russia has occupied a strange place in world history and continues to. Right now Christianity is coming back in there at the same time it is going out in the west. It has also provided a haven for dissident Christians. There are some which hid out in the USSR practically right through the Soviet per...

It’s all theater and the world leaders are ALL actors. I am curious where people on this forum stand when it comes to space, nasa, moon landing, our “plane”t, map of the un, the who, etc?

How do you think she got screwed up? Maybe she was telling the truth all along. I do think she was abused, but she was definitely screwed up. Who'd want to be involved with Ellen Degeneres? According to most of the people who work beside her, she is an abusive and nasty piece of work. That's withou...
