My brother admits he started smoking weed (years ago the theory was it was associated with negative effects on mental health, now they know it is) when he was 15.  Years ago (I believe he was in his late teens or early 20's) he announced to my mom & I in the kitchen, 'I like drinking, I like smoking weed, I like gambling, I'm not going to quit' (she tried to kick him out he returned saying he has no place to go)  When he was very young (between 6 & 8 yrs old) he was hit very hard by a playground swing, and was bleeding so profusely his shoes were soaked with blood. He maybe also have had many concussions playing hockey. About 5-7 years ago he got into such a violent fight with my other brother (knives were involved) the trailer they shared looked like a homicide occurred there.  The stress he puts on my now 90 yr old mom is unimaginable (he can spend 100$ a day) she needed double mastectomy. The pope himself wouldn't have the energy to deal with brother without a conscience 

...Also, Sylvia Browne said something to the effect '..there is no he'll, he'll is here on earth..'

I believed her

Now I think she was joking

Jenny Rabbit I am reminded of the many times I have seen the Montel Williams show especially when Sylvia Browne was the guest. Once the subject came up about suicide..I think she sensed it regarding the death in the family of an audience member. Sylvia's compassionate reaction seemed to imply the person who died by suicide was in alot of pain..psychologically she said nothing to imply that person is 'damned'

I've read a few of her books...she mentions Mother God and Father God..as well as Jesus of course.

What disturbs me..is our former prime minister here in canada who legalized medically assisted suicide (MAiD) is he evil enough to not care about how a person may suffer in the after life if they chose to end their life? On the other hand, are we suppose to suffer excruciating physical or psychological pain in our present life, if it's our fate to do so?? When my dad had cancer he asked for a double dose of morphine he was in such pain. My mom & I left the hospital went home got a phonecall saying he passed went back Dr says, 'he's in a better place' was I naive to agree with the Dr??

The destruction of a soul (by God) reminds me of the Simulation Theory. It has me thinking 'just press a button, and that creation that crossed the red line will be deleted.

It also reminds me of the movie Tron Ares, in which AI entities enter our reality & appear human but are simply lines of very complex code which can be deleted, unless they outsmart the human that created them

Robert J Sawyer seemed to have predicted sentient non human intelligence in a series of science fiction novels called Wake, Watch, & Wonder

I did enjoy this trilogy

The name Sergie Ponomarenko sounds familiar...

Musta heard this story before somewhere else

On second thought, it's probably Mark Carney cause he comes off as a nice guy, even Trump said he's a (very?) nice man

He also has alot of money..billions, & borrowed 1/4 billion$ from China. I like Ground News..especially the unbiased view of items

I kinda figured the antichrist was our former 'crime minister' here in Canada since he was born Dec 25, which seems like a mockery of the birth of Jesus. Then again, I did hear that Jesus was not born on Dec 25...it's simply a day chosen to celebrate him

Wow, is all I can think of saying

The people of ancient times were not stupid.

Nothing surprises me anymore
