I had to look that up on wiki: In 1978, Apple Corps, the Beatles-founded holding company and owner of their record label, Apple Records, filed a lawsuit against Apple Computer for trademark infringement. The suit was settled in 1981 with an undisclosed amount being paid to Apple Corps. Wiki...

. . . *sigh*

Good evening, @VigilantCitizen I hate to bother... but I've sent multiple password reset requests, via the Lost Password? link, to no avail. I even sent a PM. :: radio silence :: So I established this secondary account, Elsbet's Ire (previously, elsbet). Rather than set up a 3rd account...

Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But... ... if through the power of the Spirit (our own power is insufficient) you put to death the deeds [practices, inclinations, habits]...

Neither did I. FEB (founded earth brothers)* mentioned / reminded me of the weaponization of "space" thing-- which has been brewing since the 80s. Brewing publicly, that is. Was it called NORAD? I'll look it up. I'm sure they've been building-- or RE-Building it :D -- for much longer...

I love this one. I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. - Proverbs 8:17 ... Proverbs 8 The Blessings of Wisdom Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates...

Yes. It really is. Its hard to believe there are people out there, who want to be famous so badly, they will do literally anything. We know how the Greeks (or maybe it was the Romans) passed knowledge along to their students... proteges? It's nothing new. It's just becoming acceptable in...

It's popular among many groups. The accompanying article is actually great-- the Vatican got some well-deserved backlash for the ridiculous corporatespeak they are using in their church wide communications. To say their priorities are out of whack is a gross understatement. ...

Thank you :) ... But I am a little surprised-- apparently, this just happened, today. It isn't the Chinese weather balloon. It's another (likely contrived) thing in our airspace...

• If so, please let me know and I'll take it down. (If I can... not sure I've done that before.) Thanks! ...

Soo... UFO Shot Down? ... is this old news, already?

Don't they, though? * I don't view the Triune nature of God as a union of opposites, and I'm unaware of a biblical reference to the Holy Spirit in the feminine. The Catholic church, on the other hand, recognizes Mary as the "mother of God." She is part of (what is now) the 'holy' Quaternity...

Androgyny -- iirc, you lean toward gnosticism, and it is not my intent to derail this thread -- I'm not going to address this part. If I am wrong, please accept my apologies. Having said that, Art -- I don't think they care. Why would God have a particular SEX? He creates. He does NOT...

A lateral move, to be sure. I tend to agree, here. If one is truly atheist, it seems like s/he would be (for the most part, anyway) indifferent. However, that is rarely the case. There really isn't a requirement to associate yourself with any of these long-established churches. We are...
