Maybe it’s that “Patiently waiting for the Truth” is exactly the opposite of the course Jesus recommended:
““Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you;”  (Matt 7:7)
Though most modern Bibles have removed the next verse as spurious, some versions read:
”And some of his lazy disciples said, ‘Isn’t it enough to patiently wait?”

Yes. We need you. There’s no end to the outrageous things they’ve been saying in your absense.

I was catching up today!  Thanks for missing me.  I gave you guys a little respite from my "sensure" - lol.

I may not have expressed myself well. It wouldn’t be the first time.

It’s Calvin.
You haven’t been speaking with Mrs. Patiently Sitting on her Hands, have you?

Inasmuch as he can be ‘the messenger preparing the way,’ preparing the ground for a great building project—well, the first thing you do in preparing the ground for any project is to cart out the trash, in this case hellfire and trinity.
That’s why I always find it puzzling when individuals go on and on about how the Bible disproves these doctrines. A little bit, yes, but—it’s trash. Why would you obsess over it?

For someone who is the bee’s knees in so many places you sure do like spending time in a place where you aren’t.

What about those verses that say God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and God struck Nabal dead, and in both cases we bend over backwards to say he didn’t, that he allowed the lout’s own stubbornness to kill him? Sometimes I think the Bible writer meant it exactly as he wrote, in the vein of ‘the light gets brighter as the day dawns.’
Sometimes in Twitter you will read of a given tweet removed with the note that this user limits who can read his tweets (though other tweets of his will be visible). I know of no such setting to do that. That’s why I’m inclined to believe the explanation I read that they ‘limit’ their tweets by going against something Twitter doesnt want them to say and so has removed it.

Kant was stopped dead in his tracks on this dilemma when his church told him he kant ask that question.  (sorry)

I used to hate them too, but they do help get the cutlery clean by preventing them from sticking together, like for example a spoon into a spoon. 
😂 on the account that it doesn't take you all day so now you have more time to cavort on here instead?

Oh, I stopped worrying about that ages ago.

Lessons Learned From Movies -  “The Ballad of Cable Hogue” (1970).
 
After he is abandoned in the desert without water, Cable Hogue (Jason Robards) wanders for days until he finds a supply of water in a muddy ditch. Determining that the spot is the only spring in the area, Cable decides to start a business offering water for sale to passing stagecoaches, and digs a well.
This is the only water for 60 miles, and he does well, watering horses and passengers on a regular basis, in both directions. He also provides meals from the desert, which he makes into a stew so the passengers cannot tell the sources, and serves the food in large prospectors gold panning “plates”, nailed to tables, under an awning, behind his ramshackle stagecoach building.
Now here is the point I think True Tom will appreciate …. As the passengers finish their food, a woman sees the nails, and notices she can’t move her plate.
She asks Cable Hogue how does he clean the dishes? Cable explains that after everyone has eaten, he tilts the tables on their side, the dogs lick the plates clean, and the desert sun kills the germs!
Viola!

How much of your boat’s DRAFT is leaking?
 

There you go, JWI—ye of little faith. You just need to learn patience. 

No….bring it back. Really…just try…and see how long it lasts.  
All true prophets here. That’s what I’m talking about! Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don’t.
 

Wrong again. These days, at the urging my wife. I have become a dishwasher repairman. In fact, I am busy as a beaver (very clever animals, all of them graduates of Dam U.) reworking the Beatles’ Paperback Writer into something more personal:
’It’s a steady job but he’ll be a dishwasherrepairman…..
DISHWASHERREPAIRMANNNNNNN.”
Did you know if the fill pump goes you might as well buy a new unit, since even with self-install you’ll pay over 40% of a spanking brand new machine that doesn’t require you to start and wait 12 minutes to add the soap in because the automatic dispenser doesn’t work and now you are vindicated in not fixing it like your wife wanted you to because if you had it would all be for naught?
 

Oh wow. Where is the old hen with her ‘ban’ button? 

Did I mention that, inspired by current events, I’m buying this forum?
All you people had better start kissing up—that’s all I can say.
