Hi Keith. Yes. But the joke is on him. Unless some ultra wealthy dictator steps in to put billions into the company, it has already lost all the gains from going public. The stock price has tanked and it is listed under his initials which is even more embarrassing for him. I love it. Hugs. Scottie

Also, I emailed you a link to a story about Bubba Copeland, who you posted here about quite a while ago.

Hi Ali. Thank you for telling me. I have not checked my email in a week. Also what happened to Bubba was a huge crime that never has been properly addressed, as the right haters bigots keep doing it. Hugs. Scottie

Hi Ali. I thank you for the article. I just finished it. I wish I could post it, but it is too long to copy and I couldn’t find the link. But it is horrible what hate causes and the fake religious righteous people use it to hurt others.
Ali. In the article the fire and brimstone weld the sword of god jerk said he wishes that god would still do lightning strikes on people he did not like. But why does he think his god so weak that god needs him to be the sword of or the hand of god to cause hurt and harm. Isn’t god all powerful? There is a famous quote from a Star Trek movie … What does god need with a starship? Thanks again for the link. Oh one last thing. Hate and the mistreatment by others drove both the son and the father to suicide, the boy survived. But not one of the people who drove them to that point felt they had done anything wrong, instead they felt they were doing the lord’s work. Not by feeding the hungry or helping the poor, but by policing the private life of others and judging them to see if they deem them worthy. As Bubba said, god already had done that. Hugs. Scottie

I read a neat story in a GoComics thread, but can’t recall which one. I started to post the link here, but decided that while Jesus would do what the hero of the story did, He wouldn’t forward the story, so I stopped. I think the comic was Wannabe. The story is the first comment underneath. The poster isn’t the hero, either, they’re just passing the story, which is good. I should have just posted it when I read it, I guess, since I did it anyway! 😀

Hello Ali. I love the story. I just posted of my epidural yesterday, and one of the women who checked me in and did my medications had colored her hair a reddish purple. I thought it was grand.
As you, Roger, and the Rev Ed Trevors show the real love of God. John Fugelsang is another person who had religious parents who taught him the God they follow is all about love, not vengeance and hate. While I do not share a belief in the supernatural such as a deity, I do share the belief in loving others. Hugs. Scottie

Not to mention, the sword of God jerk literally and actually hurt people, served some time if I’m recalling correctly, and came out a forgiven person. Then he starts this hatred ministry, which is exactly the opposite of not only what should have happened, but of what we ought to be doing. It’s especially annoying, to me, trying to not be too judgy of people who accept total forgiveness for really bad stuff, but then point at others for nothing but being themselves (what I’m doing here, I know.) It’s like the jerks weren’t rehabbed at all, but figured out a way to continue to commit their crime by remote.
It’s like I read somewhere else-in the OT, there was smiting, done by God. Sometimes it seems it would be appropriate for a smiting to take place-maybe this very situation with Rev Copeland-but then we’d all be smote. Nobody needs that! 🙂

Hi Ali. You are not being judgy, you are simply observing a fact. His sin was grave and hurt others, and then he lashes out with the vengeance of his god against others simply willing to live their authentic self harming no one. In the eyes of the NT Jesus, what he is doing is wrong and sinful. IMO. Oh, on the story about Bubba. Yes I had the link, but I meant there was no share button and simply posting the link wouldn’t have interested people to go to it. While I was grateful and read the entire story, it was long and in depth, so a lot of people wouldn’t read it. The attention span of people today is not very long. Hugs. Scottie

Hi Ail. Yes that is the point. The stock has already tanked, it is headed to being worthless penny stacks. The only hope he has to make money off it is to cash out while the price is high. But right now that point has already passed. So he needs to beg a foreign government to invest, knowing they will lose all the money they invest, so that he can then cash out with a big money boost. That has how he has stayed afloat and made money. He does money laundering first for the mob and then for wealthy dictators. But those people expect a repayment on their investment, not in money but in state secrets along with government favors. That is why one of tRump’s first acts as president was to invite the Russian ambassador and the well known spy master crew into the Oval Office and kicked out anyone else. No one but them. When you look at who was buying into tRump towers and other tRump holdings, it was wealthy Russians buying multiply apartments for many millions of dollars each. That they never had anyone live in. It made tRump billions on paper. It also made him owe them. The US government for sale. That is the threat we face. Hugs. Scottie
