Good catch, Lemmie--very interesting! You know, I wonder if they did drum up that 50K, but then the person who'd pledged the 200K reneged? I mean, DCP was pretty distraught over the fact that some donor was withdrawing their pledge due to his politics. Maybe it was the same person who was going to give them $200K? And he was hoping that if he kept his mouth shut for long enough, then maybe he could win them back over? But that didn't work, and now they are still 200K in the hole?
Sounds just like the normal Utah financials issues governed all, of course, through the Holy Ghost...... :roll:

Or rather why not simply sell the streaming rights to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? At break even of course.

My suspicion is his ego wants to get the credit........of course, he would still get credit, but it wouldn't be the same. Besides, the Church would take out the non faith promoting parts..... :lol:

The cult of the pagan god Trump has indeed grown strong in the Church if it threatens the Witnesses video.

We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

Just posting this here because it's not even worth the effort to make a new thread. I was reading to see if there was any additional information about the film, and saw that the idiot Kiwi just compared Dawkins to Hitler. Someone with normal sensibilities suggested that this was not appropriate, and the proprietor of SeN went into automatic pilot justifying kiwi's crassness. I stopped reading when he wrote that Hitler had a moustache too, does that qualify as a comparison? Or some such crap. Wow, there is such a lack of judgment on the part of that blog's writer.

I think the comparison of Daniel C. Peterson with Hitler fits much stronger than Dawkins and Hitler, Both have legs. And.....and.....both wrote a lot! AND.....AND!!!!!! BOTH of them traveled! Ta-da!

I think you've got it, Philo! You've definitely got it! The mopologist method of causal relationships... any little, teeny-tiny (albeit vague, or even totally unseen by the rest of the world) comparison means... there's a chance! Probability be damned-- There's definitely a non-zero chance!!! :lol:

And using Bayes Theorem with probability on some things, you can find 1 chance in 345,345,76,7866,890,7,,5,455,66777,88,9,9,87,5,54,4,4445,5,,6,7,78888,,9,8,8766,5,5,,4,,4,4,45556677878,8,888 that something could not possibly be false or known!!! ;)
