Joškec, I think you gave me the green light to promote my book here a while back...

So, if you could just click the link below and leave a quick little review for my book IN ENGLISH—it can literally just be one nice sentence in English if you're feeling lazy. Just make sure you give it FIVE STARS. Please, seriously, watch those clicks so you don't accidentally hit three or four stars...

Write the review using whatever username you use here on the forum, just so I know who to send a free e-book to once my big promotion kicks off soon...

Looking for brothers and sisters in Jesus in Spirituality ·
Anthony Perez9 said:Not many at all, maybe a few pages tops. And most of that is just recycled stuff from the Old Testament: "It was written..." or "He said..."

Which leads me to think there wasn't actually such a guy walking around back then in Israel. The magic tricks and the whole miraculous birth without a man—that's clearly just myth, along with all the sorcery like walking on waves or those loaves and fishes that magically appeared out of nowhere to feed thousands of Jews. It’s the same fairy tale found in the Old Testament, just copied over.

I don't think it's some massive lie, it's more like some Greek writer who made up the name Mark just composed an instructional spiritual parable about the Messiah appearing.

And people, being people, love magic and literalism. They love following God and divine heroes as ultimate authorities so they don't have to think for themselves, so that story turned into a belief that it actually happened. But it didn't, obviously.

What specific teachings or instructions are we talking about?

There aren't any. It's all just cheap peasant parables like: "see clouds coming, a storm is near," or "cut off your hand if it leads you to sin"...

You know, like in Buddhist or Zoroastrian texts—not interpretations by various spiritual scholars or philosophers, but direct words from Jesus himself.

The fairy tale says Jesus rose from the dead and finally "explained everything" to His clueless disciples over 40 days. It would've been great if someone had actually recorded what this post-resurrection Jesus was saying during "Jesus's teaching" once they finally saw the supernatural apparition. But nobody wrote down a single word about it. All we get is the heart-wrenching story about the "evil" Jews who plotted to kill Jesus and actually "succeeded."

Basically, a religious fairy tale. A myth... ☕

I mean, all that stuff seems like small miracles compared to what we see today.
Through Saint Faustina, these incredible sun miracles are still happening...

Can a dentist do some side work on you...? in Dentistry & Oral Hygiene ·
Megan Miller34 said:Basically, you'll probably need a root canal if there's visible decay on the panoramic X-ray.

Wait, what even is a root canal?
Here's an X-ray of my tooth. Maybe someone who actually knows dentistry can tell me what we're looking at here...?

Can a dentist do some side work on you...? in Dentistry & Oral Hygiene ·
So, I accidentally ripped out a filling with my fingernail. I guess I just crushed a menthol breath mint too hard while chewing it, and everything got all stuck together. It didn't even hurt at first...

Anyway, when I finally got to the dentist's office for the repair—we were right in the middle of some procedure—she started poking around near my gums. I felt this sharp, stabbing sensation in the tissue right above the tooth. It felt weird, honestly. I've never had that happen before...

Once the new filling was in, she shows me an X-ray of this bloody little blister right next to the tooth they fixed. Then she sends me off for another X-ray on a different tooth because of that blister. She started talking about potentially swollen nerves and how we need to see if something more serious needs to be done, maybe even a root canal...

Looking back, I remember her digging into my gums, and now it’s actually starting to ache a bit. It makes me wonder... is there some kind of scheme where they poke you just to create a new problem? You know, just to give themselves extra work they can bill you for?
Just so we're clear, I went to a private practice here in the States...

I’m honestly hoping we see more choreography like this soon. I mean, imagine if they did another massive Bad Boys sign and stretched it all the way up to the upper deck too. With the way our stands are built, nobody else in Europe could even attempt to copy it. It’s such a unique setup. Not that we’ll be lucky enough to have a stadium like this for much longer, I guess...

When we’re left hanging this long waiting on a response from the mods, I guess we’re supposed to assume it’s because they’re working incredibly hard and being super fair with their calls...?
But what’s even the point of this whole forum anyway?
Just to create this little illusion that there’s actual oversight happening on a private board?

Just asking for a friend.

Here’s the real kicker...
Once the Pope visits Moscow and makes his way back home, things are going to get messy. Conflicts will start popping up everywhere, and that's when Russia will launch a massive, all-out assault on everyone involved...

This comes from those visions at Garabandal regarding the Mariana Trench, stuff that various Popes and even Padre Pio considered totally legit and crucial...

I think they hit me with a partial ban because of this stuff...
I shared that video showing Zelensky on cocaine, and a bunch of trolls—who were clearly in league with the moderators—jumped me for spreading fake news. So now I’m banned and partially restricted...

Let's take a look at this supposedly "fake" video...


So, this is a fake video, huh...?
Just wanted to show everyone who's actually losing their minds here...

Tyler Garcia69 said:Let me break this down for you. If you weren't waving the yellow and blue flag or calling Putin Hitler (or Putler), then you're just a troll in their eyes. It's that simple.

That's basically how I see it too...
I mean, it's not like I'm on Russia's side or anything, but if you don't jump on the bandwagon with everyone else, they'll slap a pro-Russian label on you immediately. And once that happens, forget about freedom of speech...

Honestly, I think people are actually afraid of me over there. They know damn well I was warning people ten years ago that this war would happen because it was prophesied in the Mariana Trench revelations. Now that they see it's all playing out exactly like I said, they're terrified of what I'll say comes next...

So now you've gone and dropped a PDF on me about the war in Ukraine...
Why even bother?

So, I got banned for "aggressive trolling."
Can someone please explain where the hell I was trolling? All I did in those two quick posts was share my opinion—that Russia is eventually going to expand this war and target other European countries. That’s it.
They won't even let me file an appeal in the ban corner, which just shows how biased the moderators are being. So, I guess my only option left is to bring it up here...

I honestly can't remember seeing mods act this weirdly before. It feels like a total violation of free speech. The users over there are basically in a collective state of hysteria; you've got these internet warriors throwing insults everywhere, but instead of punishing them, the mods have completely taken their side. I'm actually reporting a few posts where people were straight-up insulting me, yet nothing was done about it...
I’m worried this thread is going to get shut down too, probably without any actual explanation for why the mods are acting this way...
Just show me the post where I was supposedly trolling, and explain what exactly makes it "trolling."
I want my negative points removed, and I want an explanation...

The start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Part 1) in War in Ukraine ·
Is there actually an accurate map out there where I can easily track how things are playing out on the ground?
US withholding tax for authors (KDP, Amazon, etc.) in Business, Accounting & Taxes ·
Betty Sanchez10 said:When I received my first payout, I took the necessary paperwork to the local tax office, reported it as foreign income, and filed the appropriate quarterly estimated tax forms. Every time money hits my account, I file those forms and treat the income as royalties from an independent contractor agreement. I use this site to run the numbers: https://www.isplate.info/kalkulator-...jelu-2018.aspx

So far, they haven't asked me to provide any proof, but if they do, I don't see why it would be an issue. This is a legitimate creative work in the truest sense, and I can simply present the Amazonian terms of service, which functions as a binding contract. At least, that's what people in similar situations told me; they were dealing with a different foreign firm rather than Amazon, but the tax office accepted it and stopped asking for a localized version of the contract.

Getting information at the tax office is an uphill battle because most of them don't have a clue what they're looking at. You mention the internet or international transactions, and they look at you like they've seen a ghost.

The sales tax on books doesn't apply here unless you're planning to physically sell books in person in the US without a publisher or middleman, but I don't know much about that since it was never my concern.

Regarding payments, you have to use PayPal or a similar service that allows you to receive funds from Amazon, because Amazon still doesn't offer direct transfers to US banks in certain setups. It isn't complicated, though. Once the money lands in my PayPal, I just transfer it to my checking account and that's that.

If there is anything else you need to know, feel free to reach out via private message.


Is it still like that?
I opened a foreign currency account at JP Morgan Chase, and when I was signing up for Amazon, it accepted all those JP Morgan Chase details. What does that actually mean—does it mean the payments won't land even though everything looks fine on the screen?

Now they’re asking for a TIN. I see other people mentioned earlier that they were asked for different numbers...
Do I need to enter my TIN alongside the HR-pa number, or just enter it as the TIN?
And do I need to activate this TIN somewhere? I heard that's a thing, but I don't know if it's actually true!

Getting Mom back into religion... in Feedback & Suggestions ·
It’s honestly pretty pathetic watching the mods run out of actual arguments...
Did Meadow Walker even bother providing a real explanation for why that section was assigned?
Basically, they're just "messing with us." Translation: we atheists can't deal with reading Arthur Flores2's posts anymore—it's like some PDF manifesto meant to mock religion, except Arthur Flores2 doesn't actually fit the vibe...
What a complete disaster of a forum, a total joke of a moderation team, and a garbage PDF...
Just pure misery...

Daniel Ward87 said:No.

The reasons...?
The whole ban was just shady...
What were even the actual reasons for this ban? Can you specifically tell me?
It feels like this is all just some vendetta because I caused a stir here when you guys and the moderators tried to push that story about how you could call the Virgin Mary something religious... and claim that it wasn't trolling...

Then, once I called you out and forced all you moderators to back down from your little plan, you decided on your revenge. moderator Meadow sent me a message explaining my ban by saying I was being a jerk—so there wasn't actually a reason, she just couldn't handle getting hit with solid arguments in debates anymore, thread after thread. The atheist crowd just couldn't face someone pointing out the stupid side of atheism. Do I really need to remind you that you banned me from posting jokes about atheists in a thread specifically meant for jokes?

Anthony Perez9 said:That's basically what the Catholic Church believes.... And the Virgin Mary always ascended bodily from her grave (whether she was dead first or still alive, the Church hasn't really specified), plus that mass murderer saint Elijah, Enoch...


Man, I was actually thinking about your usual stuff regarding hell...
As for the whole thing about the Savior having an eternal body in paradise, I'm with the Church on that...
I mean, it would be pretty depressing not to have my own body in eternity, I guess...

Yeah. And passing gas would definitely be fine in paradise. It’d be way too sad and dry if there wasn't any farting in heaven along with everything else our guts do.👍

I don't think there’s actual farting in heaven...
But there’s probably pooping. Taking a dump on the toilet is way too much of a relief to just toss out for no reason. Why ruin something good? I mean, could anyone actually get bored of pooping? We poop every single day and we never get sick of that feeling. We could be pooping for billions of years and it probably wouldn't get old. Pooping is kind of an example of how some things are just eternal, you know? They never go away...
Though, I’d expect that in heaven, we aren't dropping stinky crap, but rather something cool. Like, every day you're wondering, "what am I gonna poop out today?" For instance, one day you might poop out the answer to some question you were dying to know back when we were living on Earth...
Uh... what?
Why wouldn't heaven be interesting?
