bc, you've been posting here a long time. Don't you think it's about time you started sharing your bursts of knowledge and understanding?


You'll need to reverse your self-induced lobotomy and get rid of all your phrenology textbooks before you can have share in any real knowledge.

I'm more of a Nissan man.

A nisseman?

In previous posts I've made it pretty clear that I'm may not be a TBM, but I'll answer this question anyway. What "other major life decisions do" I make in this same way? None.

None of my other major life decisions have had as much of a need for the authentication that comes solely from God. If what I want is to know something about God, then without input from God I can never hope to know it, so I have to get that input. For other life decisions; who I'm going to marry, what career I'm going to pursue, whether my wife and I should try to adopt some kids; God's input is valuable, and I would be wise to look for it, but in each of these cases God has already given me a kernel of truth I can use as the foundation for the things I know, so it's no longer essential that God at the moment of decision give me some information that's crucial to the decision.

I don't buy iPhones, iPads, or MacBook Pros.


I own an iPad and a MacBook. Both purchases were made based on research. They are the most quality products for my work.

Speaking of phrenology, I'm sure you will find the following fascinating:

A fun test of the "feeling". Send ten people to Las Vegas for a weekend. Five TBMs and five actuaries (mathematicians that specialize in computing odds).

Give each $500.00 and let them bet on whatever games they please (good luck on finding funding).

If God is on the job, the TBMs will come back rich. If not, the TBMs will be broke and the actuaries will come back close to even.

I know which way I would bet on the outcome.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
