The Retirement Thread

Another reason why I won’t be downloading the app, T&P its called here.

T & P was used to describe coach tour passengers as that is all they did.

In order.......
Who says Adam had nipples?
Who was Lilith? Never heard that one.
Cain married his sister. As they were perfect then inter-relative relationships had no effect on them.

Cains wife came from Emerdale

Morning. It started to rain at 7 pm last night and it's still very wet her and breezy, just like a winter day.

Talking about middle isles, I went Into liddl in Newtown once and for some unknown reason they had Kilts for sale.

Stay safe folks.

I wore a kilt to Trade Fairs in Wales. Mebbe I started a trend.
Better than the English guy who went to a Paris Trade Fair and was very disappointed that he got no orders.
He was selling Union Jack hats. True story as the stand next him was a friend of ours who told us.

Moira wouldn't like that.

Oh sh*t 🤔 Sat watching golf but had a phone call to make. Put tv on mute. Dialled the phone number and wondered why the tv was changing channels. I was only dialling the phone number on the tv remote

Been there done that got the shirt

Cains wife came from Emerdale

He was named after the biblical figure. He's a dead brother, who was going to be named Able, but they decided against it.

Dr Alice said something interesting not long ago. She said she is a humanist not an athiest as being an athiest implies that you acknowledge a God figure and as she does not acknowledge that there are any gods, she prefers to be called a humanist. I tend to agree with her.

Logically I am a humanist but so many unexplained things have happened in my life that I sometimes wonder.

Lillith was Adam's first wife.

My head hurts now.

If you want to really get confused think about time. What is it? Is time moving and we are static or are we moving and time is static? Or are both moving?

A sunny autumnal walk along the River Orrin earlier, now back from Tesco Dingwall. The odd heavy shower this afternoon, which we missed, now pleasantly sunny.

I am wish I was there as this is the first year I have missed for a long time.

It's like a piece of string, with the ends touching and then screwed up into a ball. Many connections are made, thus allowing us to jump from one day to the other.

Just checking to see if I am in the correct forum section, seems to be getting very heaving in here today.

I am genuinely interested in this because you spoke of "theism" and "gnosticism" which are new for me. I've done a bit of googling.

From what I can gather gnosticism is also based on belief and not something which is demonstrably true. The Gnostics were considered heretics.

Can you explain a bit more or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

As I said, you need to go back to the root of the words.
Gnostic is derived from the Greek word gnosis - meaning knowledge.
The Gnostic religious sect was regarded as heretic, by the mainstream church, because they believed through personal knowledge of God, and not through church doctrine or scripture. ie. they 'knew' God existed despite church dogma.
That's how I understand it, anyway.

Time?

I was just thinking the same, I don't know what they are all smoking, but, it seems to be powerful stuff
