> You're obviously some sort of skeptic of claims of prophecy etc., aren't you?
Not at all. I used to be a spiritualist medium, the only one in my 'church' who
actually was able to give
accurate predictions.
I definitely believe that prophecy is possible...but one needs proof of it BEFORE an
event.
I could tell you that I have a parrot who predicts the future. I could tell you that
this parrot of mine told
me that JFK Jr. was going to die in an airplane crash, and that this parrot also told
me that the 2000
election would result in a draw. Does this mean I have a parrot that prophesizes the
future? How would you
know? All you have is my claim that my feathered medium is able to tell me of future
events, when in
actuality all I am giving you is a list of HISTORIC events which I claim the bird
foretold. But if I don't
provide you a prediction for an event which has yet to happen, it is just so much
paper lining the parrot's
cage...

But in this case, Aleisha is claiming that it is specific just to her one copy of the
1954 edition of Gideon's
Bible...not just any bible, and not just any edition...
All I'm asking is that she share this 'suggested daily reading list' with us...I'm not
even asking she post
the whole list, just a month's worth. Say, for the month of January...then we could
assess it for ourselves.
And if she is unable or unwilling to do so, then she should shut the hell up about it
once and for all,
because without providing us with it, it is just so much paper lining the bottom of a
birdcage...
