It really does just keep getting worse.
In a comment yesterday I told you that I’d be writing about my experience with a group of Amish folks who pulled up in a bus for a day at the beach just yards from my sandy niche here on the Gulf Coast. Well, okay, here we go.
The bus pulled up as I was looking into the possible ‘supernatural’ (inexplicable via the current, understood ‘laws of nature’) injection of emoticons in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. I’d found a pretty good video, although it was ‘faith based’ as opposed to hard on evidence, which is what we’re interested in here. Still, I recommend it, even for those who continue with ad hoc explanations for the various robust examples of the phenomenon. If you go about half an hour into the video you’ll find the 40 examples given of ‘smiley face’ emoticons in the current KJV.
A couple things before I get to the Amish part of this post. The various translations of the Bible were generally if not wholly done by masters at the craft/art of translation to English from archaic languages. Look into it (I did). These were men (and a woman or two) who not only knew the languages well but were dedicated to a word-accurate translation. This is important, in the present example (emoticons in the KJV) in that usage of a colon immediately followed by a right paren – in other words, a smiley face – has no use or history of use in the English language. Maybe take the time to look at the examples given in the video and please explain how experts in language could insert those goddamn things into a work of this importance (if only historical).
(To those of you who disclaim the use of ad hockery in your explanations of the various MEs: I’m interested in how you explain this one, i.e., ‘Emoticons are a little known olde English tradition’ or some such.)
Anyway, so I’m in my rig squinting at emoticons in my hard copy Bible and look out the front windshield to see about a score and a half of genuine Bible-thumpers piling out of a huge bus right there in front of me, as if their appearance was either divinely ordained (for my benefit), or one helluva coincidence. (That the folks were Amish was obvious from their dress.)
In mere minutes I zeroed in on the male with the longest, greyest beard, figuring that, Number One, he’d be the most learned in the intricacies of the Good Book, and, Number Two, he was old enough so that the changes were most likely to have occurred after he’d learned his scriptures.
After a short intro (‘I’m over there in the RV,’ etc.) I asked him if he was familiar with the Bible passage that says ‘The lion shall lie down with the lamb’; I even mentioned the book of Isaiah and that the verse refers to how things’ll go when Jesus returns to straighten the world out.
‘Yes,’ the man, whose name was David, replied. He was indeed familiar with the passage.
‘King James Version, right?’ I was setting David up for some boom-lowering.
‘Yes, the King James Version. Isaiah 11;6,’ he said, referring to Chapter 11, Verse 6.
‘Sorry, David, but you’re wrong. In fact, no where in the Bible is it written that ‘The lion shall lie down with the lamb.’ I was respectful in tone but adamant. David stared at me, smiling, and I won’t say condescendingly. He is not that sort of man, being a devote Amish. ‘You recall that passage, though, don’t you?’ I added to break the silence.
Yesterday, the Amish arrive.
‘Yes, of course I do,’ David said, still smiling pleasantly.
‘Do you have a Bible handy?’ I wanted to know. ‘If not, I have one in my RV.’ I gestured to my rig, 10 yards away.
There was a guy standing a yard or two nearby and here he injected himself into the conversation. He would tell me his name, but in my (coming) aggravation toward him – if not outright loathing – I have forgotten it. At this point I merely noticed that he was not dressed as an Amish, although he was definitely with the group. (I very much regret that I didn’t get the details of what he was doing on the bus.) We’ll refer to him as The Hypocrite. (Right: Why not?)
The Hypocrite had a Blackberry device in hand and sort of waved it. ‘Of course it’s in the Bible,’ he said, referring to the lion/lamb passage, and smiling from behind his hip shades. He started pecking at his keyboard. I turned back to David. ‘David,’ I said, ‘I believe there have been changes made to the Bible, supernatural changes. You won’t find the lion and lamb laying together any more.’
The Hypocrite was squinting now, pecking his Blackberry faster. To both of them I then opined that there is Evil afoot, and that the End Times may be very near. I didn’t necessarily believe this, but I thought it a good ‘translation’ to the biblical way of thinking.
They did this group shot just before leaving.
I’ll not stretch this out further than necessary, for I’m already getting disheartened in the writing…
At that moment I wasn’t much interested in The Hypocrite’s rising panic as he worked feverishly on his blackberry, looking for the lion and lamb quote. He may have been ‘on the bus,’ but he wasn’t Amish. I had a grey-bearder in suspenders right in front of me and wanted to stay with him on this subject. ‘There are other changes, David,’ I said, ‘and I’d like to see what you think of them. Can we refer to your Bible?’ I assumed he had one handy.
‘It’s not handy,’ David said. I briefly wondered if David was actually lying to me, but what I said was this: ‘I have one. Shall I go get it?’
David was still smiling amicably. But he said, ‘No, I’d rather you didn’t.’
I turned to the Hypocrite and asked if he had a hard copy of the bible with him. No, he didn’t. ‘This is just as good,’ he said, referring to his Blackberry.
‘Really?’ I said. ‘If we’re going to look for changes, supernatural changes, in the Bible, wouldn’t you prefer a hard copy?
‘Doesn’t matter.’ I was thinking that any devout religious type who figures that — in the matter of supernatural changes — the Net is as reliable as a hard copy is either pretty dumb or not as devout as he thinks he is. Wait. Both, actually. Dumb and not devout. The Hypocrite had ceased his pecking and was now staring mutely at the ‘berry’s screen. I knew precisely what he was looking at.
‘It’s a wolf now, isn’t it? Isaiah 11;6?’ This was me speaking. ‘The wolf is lying with the lamb.’
The Hypocrite in blue. When he saw me raise my camera he turned his head away. Hang in and you’ll get the drift.
‘The Bible hasn’t changed.’ This was the best he could do, although, as I would soon find out, the wheels were turning. Turning in my direction.
I looked at David and asked him if he uses the Lord’s Prayer and he assured me that he did. I asked him to just start it. ‘Bear with me,’ I said. ‘Just the first four or five words.’
‘Our Father who art in Heaven…’
I interrupted. ‘That’s incorrect. It’s ‘Which art in Heaven.’ (That the change to ‘which’ could be a sly homonym with ‘witch’ just this moment occurs to me… more on this later.)
There was a young guy behind The Hypocrite, seated in a chair leaning against the bus. Amish garbed, a handsome tow-headed kid in his late teens, smiling amicably at me, listening. I inquired how he begins the Lord’s Prayer. He leaned back and stared straight up. Didn’t answer. Meanwhile, The Hypocrite was back on his blackberry. Unfazed, I asked the kid if he used the phrase ‘Forgive us our trespasses’ in the prayer. No answer. Stared straight up. His body language somehow told me that he was trying his best to be polite even as he ignored my question.
The Hypocrite piped up, answering my question: ‘Yes, ‘As we forgive those who trespass against us.’ The way he said it, I got the impression that he was somehow forgiving me for some such trespass. In retrospect, he may have been right. In a way I was trespassing, I suppose.
Find it in the Bible, I suggested.
As The Hypocrite pecked, I turned back to David. I tried to include his wife, who was sitting beside him in a full-length black dress and white head covering, in the following, . ‘Does the Bible refer to men breast-feeding babies?’
David didn’t respond but excused himself politely. He and his wife rose and crossed to the beach, just a few feet away. With the Amish kid still staring… well, heavenward… and seemingly out of the conversation, it was just me and The Hypocrite. And it was all down hill from there.
He couldn’t find the Lord’s Prayer (as he says it) in his Blackberry Bible. But still, ‘The Bible hasn’t changed.’
I’ll only cover as much of the rest of this as is necessary to impart a sense of why yesterday was such a bad day for me. By a ‘bad day’ I mean in the sense of too much stuff. Too much evidence that human beings are not only capable of monumental (unspeakable) hypocrisy, but that such a condition is very close to being the default setting.
The Hypocrite not only did not believe that changes have occurred in the Bible, but he would not look at evidence unless I tricked him into doing so, or in one case stuck it right in his stupid face. In the meantime, he insisted that the End Times were here. (In my attempt at brevity you may miss the point that I really tried to show him passages that would… or might… back up my assertion that all was not well with the Good Book.)
Just took this. A minute ago.
When I would ask The Hypocrite a question, and for quite a while they were very reasonable and respectful, he would always respond by inquiring something about my private life. It only came up later where he was going with this, but at one point he asked if I was married. No. Ever been? No. Have I had sex with a woman? Yes. How many? About a hundred and twenty. (I explained that I knew the number because I’d written a memoir that required me to self-reflect on the subject.)
I did ask him how many women he’d had sex with. (Yes, I’m hurrying through this, leaving out a bunch.) None, he said. ‘I’m virgin.’ (Not ‘a’ virgin.) When I asked his age he said he was 29. (For some of you this may explain everything about him: severe back-up-age and so forth. I won’t argue the issue.)
At some point – and I have to repeat that he refused to answer any of my queries, always responding to a question with a question about my sinful past – I repeated the query about the Bible referring to men breast-feeding babies.
‘Of course not.’ Finally an answer. By then I had grabbed my bible – I’ve already told you guys the story about how I came across it on the road – and opened it to Numbers 11:12 (which I’d marked). ‘Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land….’
Then, before he could ask me anything, I went to Isaiah 49:23 and read aloud, ‘And kings shall be thy nursing fathers and queens they nursing mothers…’
This is from last year, a newspaper pic. Handsome folks.
‘I guess you didn’t remember those passages when you denied the reference.’ He answered with a query about my sex life, segueing into an explanation of how I carry the sins and iniquities of each woman I’ve had sex with outside of marriage.
‘Wow, I guess I’m pretty loaded down then,’ I replied, words to that effect. I added this question: ‘According to the Bible, if any of those women I had sex with get married, what should happen is that the new husband drags her to her father’s door, where she should be stoned to death by anyone passing by. I mean, since she’s not a virgin.’ (Yes, this is in the Old Testament.)
The Hypocrite was intimately (so to speak) familiar with this beaut of a piece of wisdom. ‘Yes, she should be stoned to death, true.’
‘You approve of that?’
Here The Hypocrite truly was in his element, since the answer had to do with me, and my promiscuities. Or so it seemed. See, God insists that the non-virgin be stoned to death to… I’ll try to get this right… end the transmogrification of the evils and iniquities that had been passed down through the non-virgin’s family for 10 generations (or less, I think, but it might have been more). When you have sex with a woman, The Hypocrite told me… you take on all the… whatevers that the non-virgin’s ancestors have perpetrated and so the killing of the non-virgin is actually an act of mercy, in the long run.
Trust me that if I erred in the above recollection it was on the side of giving this raving lunatic a break, in terms of logic and mercy and all around human kindness. Looking into his eyes I could easily picture him pitching in in the death-stoning of another human being.
One subject of our discourse I will not much delve into was that of slavery. When I brought up the subject, The Hypocrite smugly informed me that according to scripture, according to his merciful God, slavery only ‘lasted’ seven years, as if he’d made a profound point regarding… presumably… something…
I know. I didn’t get around to asking about the high end bus.
This sort of ‘communication’ went on for waaay longer than it should have, and I just don’t have it in me to subject you to much more of it, and anyway, The Hypocrite and his beliefs are not the point here, since I was interested in the Amish view, and, as stated, he was not formally one of them. So I have to segue back to grey-bearded David; I hadn’t given up on him.
Aside from my parting suggestion to The Hypocrite that he get the fuck out of my face and away from my door (he had approached my rig, my home, and said through my screen door that he had ‘one more question’), the only other colloquy worth relating was my on-the-beach offer to lend him my laptop (which I had in hand) so he could watch a video made by a ‘real’ Christian and which might enlighten him as to possible Bible changes better than I could. To which, as usual, he responded with his own query, to wit: ‘How much of the occult have you indulged in?’ Not Are you into the occult? That was a given. He wanted to know how much.
I immediately knew where this one came from: It was his rationalization for not paying attention to any evidence that Satan might be currently at work with his Good Book. See, in response to his assertion that we are indeed in End Times, I’d pointed out that changes in the Bible would certainly re-enforce this observation. Wouldn’t it? So shouldn’t he look into it? Point being: I was now either the hand of Satan or even the Big Guy himself. Therefore paying attention to me or, indeed, to any evidence I might come up with, would be… I dunno… sacrilegious?
Or the suspenders…
But his occult accusation pissed me off, so I asked if he was aware of Scriptural approval of homosexuality. Right. I was seeking to… get his goat (a Biblical reference, no?) Before he could finish his response, which was still another question about my past, I stuck my hard copy Bible right in his face, already open to St Luke, with 17:34 underscored in red. (The context is that when the End Times come and Jesus plucks the believers off the face of the earth for the ride to heaven, certain folks will get to go, others will not.)
..in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, the other left [behind to rot on earth]’
and the very next verse, #35 reads:
‘Two woman shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, the other left.’
‘What are two men doing in one bed?!’ I snarled in The Hypocrite’s face. The fucker was, for once, speechless, meaning question-less. ‘Even taken separately but certainly taken together the reference is to two fags and two lesbos, and means they can go to heaven with Jesus!’ (Later The Hypocrite would approach my screen door as described. Aside from that, I had nothing more to say to him.)
I walked directly over to David, who was back in the chair I’d first met him in, probably an hour ago. I was still clutching my laptop and my Bible. I sat down and smiled — so far as I know, he had not been privy to any of my exchanges with The Hypocrite.
I explained my genuine concern that bad things might be happening to the Bible and that I had a video on my laptop, all set up for him to watch, and which would explain my concerns better than I could. As I did with The Hypocrite, I suggested he go into the bus, sit down and watch it. I added that I really needed help with this. Counsel. I was in distress, I said. (My impression was that the Amish are supposed to help those in need. And I was in need. More or less. Okay, maybe not in distress.)
Wouldn’t do it. Said he wanted to enjoy the beach or some such. I can tell you, this deflated me way more than The Hypocrite’s insane ramblings. I can’t say that I was surprised, though.
Still working on infrared imagery.
#
Regarding the St Luke verses — which are obviously saying that homosexuals can go to heaven like everyone else, a concept completely foreign to what the Scriptures purport to say (notwithstanding all the other blatant contradictions) – I have seen/heard many serious Bible-believers say that the original KJV (not the new, ME Bible) actually reads:
‘A man and a woman in bed together…’ and ‘Two women grinding grain…’ (not ‘grinding together)
To those who would leave comments that they are disappointed that someone of my pedigree would believe in bull shit like the ME – if you are really honest in your claim to be critical thinkers – I suggest you really give the Biblical issues a serious look. For me, these changes are different from the ones in popular culture, in that many of them are not random, but rather are sly and purposefully demeaning, like the references in St Luke. (And hence the ‘which/witch’ possible homonym, although I agree it’s a bit of a stretch. On the other hand, those bastards are like that. See my posts on The Most Dangerous Book for how subtle they can get with their imagery. )
It doesn’t matter if you believe in the divine provenance of the Scriptures or not (I don’t). It’s no different from the occultisms I’ve pointed out in the events of 9/11/01: What’s important is what the PTB believe.
Another news pic from last year. I’m 95% sure that’s David, closest to the camera.
Okay. Enough. One last thing. I did a little searching about the Amish and this part of Texas. Found out that after the hurricane in 2017, a bunch of Amish from up north came down to help clean up and rebuild. Just showed up with tools and so forth (they are great craftsmen) and their wives and kids and all pitched in. For months.
David’s group was among those who came to help. I know this because I found a photo from a local newspaper from the time and he is in it. But my point is not that David (and his folk) are good people, although they clearly are. My point is more along the lines of how Evil can triumph when good men do nothing.
Allan
I’m sure The Hypocrite was not amongst those who came down to help. His thinking was probably along the lines of ‘If there was a hurricane, it was God’s will.’ Maybe someone had to go, like the non-virgin who needed stoning to death, for the sake of the long run.
Somehow I doubt that back in the days of the King James translation, “grinding” was a term that denoted sexual relations. It’s a more modern, slang term, is it not? I’m not sure exactly, but I’d guess it does, in fact, refer to grinding grain or something like that. As for two men being in bed together, I don’t think that automatically implies sex either. That’s a matter for exegesis or hermeneutics or whatnot.
Note from Allan: Really? REALLY?
Respectfully, Allan, I don’t see what’s so shocking about my comment. I can’t think of a single instance in the Bible in which “going to bed” is used as a euphemism for sexual behavior. As examples of the Mandela Effect and/or changes in the Bible, those two verses just don’t seem very convincing to me, that’s all. You can call that “cherry picking” if you’d like, but after reading your post, which made many fine points, to be sure, I just felt compelled to make this one observation.
It All Burns In The End… Get Right With God… WE(everyone) are here NOW because we are meant to be here.
As sovereign beings we get the right to choose where we go after here… Dont get lost looking at the trees -the individual players, miscreants, self chosenites, (playing victim does not help either)-
The plan was/ is simple: Hostile takeover of Planet EA-rth reenacting cosmic dramas hidden away in the Genome of The Fallen Man Experiment-
Choose Love or Choose the Shekel you cannot have both…… Goats and Sheep, that choice is for each to make… Aloha #LoveWins #BabylonWillBurn #ExitPlanetDust
Holoha I did’nt know much about the ME effect until I read about it on a website here in the UK (Divided Kingdom) however and even though I’m aged 65 my memory is good and I knew straight away that it was wrong about the date that Mandela got out of prison. What I mean is that I knew the true year that Mandela was released and didn’t believe in the ME Reading this tonight has taught me a lot for example the sex in the city is so weird how they changed it to sex and the city.To my mind it is a psyop they are messing with our minds.In the points you make concerning the Bible the same applies as I was asked by a guy outside a church if I believed in God I replied in the affirmative and so he showed me several Bibles that had been messed with,I didn’t know about this as I don’t go to churches and at the time I had a KJV Bible printed in 1894 unfortunately I had to leave it behind when I moved on as it was really big and heavy.I now live in the Georgian city called Bath on a boat on a canal. I was converted to believe in Christianity after I moved into a haunted house in London in 1976 when I was aged 23, there was an evil spirit in this house that gave me and 3 other housemates nightmares anyway the story is so long and complex I can’t relate it tonight.Basically I had not long arrived in the city when I was offered a room in this house when the evil spirit manifested the people couldn’t handle it and moved out leaving me alone there I wasn’t a believer before but I sure was after that.That reminds me of the testimony of an American marine who said that as the landing craft him and his buddies were in approached the beach in Normandy on D-Day they all said the Lord’s prayer,he said there was a lot of Christian’s in the boat that day.Anyways I gotta go it’s 2 am and I’ve got to go to bed hope to maybe go through some more of my spiritual experiences another time goodnight and Good bless from James
Hi James~
Thank you for sharing your observation concerning ME.
I would like to hear more about your spiritual experiences and what you have observed being changed concerning scripture in the Bible.
Thank you and kind regards,
~Kimberlie
Hi Kimberlie sorry I took so long to get back to you but I have had problems with my cell phone.I can only say that I knew that the New international Version of the Bible is now in all of the church of England churches and I was told the name of Christ has been removed 17 times that’s one example however I always think the devil is in the details and I don’t concentrate on specifics as I only use the older KJV which I believe is hard to get now I usually buy my copies from second hand stores. I’ll give you one weird example of a time when I lived on a travellers site when a barbecue party was held there because of my heightened awareness I actually saw that the people at the party had a darkness about them which I’d never seen before, so after the party ended I got out my KJV Bible placed it on the floor and kneeled down I usually pray to God in tongues first then I asked Him this question ” why did you create these people when you knew they would choose evil?” He said “look in the book” so I flipped it open then held it up to a candle and one sentence was illuminated in a very strange bright light it said “I created them to be destroyed have I not that right?” So He answered my question with a question I didn’t understand it at first but then I did although it’s impossible for me to explain it to anyone. I once told a woman I knew who was into new age philosophies and she got very angry. I’ve never seen it since but I’ve never really looked that hard for it,like I said I’m not really a Bible thumper who knows it might have even been out of context for all I know. But concerning the fabian society and the wolf in sheep’s clothing, Fabius was a Roman general who instead of meeting the enemy on the open battlefield he used the tactic of hit and run and smaller skirmishes then retreated and in so doing wore out the enemy in long protracted campaigns and eventually won. If you think about it that is what the NWO has done in that it has taken hundreds of years since the French Revolution to now . Anyways I will try and think of a more interesting example in my next post bye for now Love from James
I’ve posted a new one and hope those who think the ME is a ‘regular’ psy op or just ‘bad memories’ on the parts of millions will not cherry-pick; all the issues raised must be logically explained.
If, for the sake of argument, the ME is a psy-op, and if, for the sake of argument, the purpose is to get people to accept more and more substantive changes in their memories as ‘normal’ and not indicative of intentional deception, then it really doesn’t matter whether people believe the ME is due to bad memories or something supernatural. The goal would be achieve either way.
Our Hearts And Minds are Stronger Than Their D-Wave Computer #LoveWins This War! Blessings and Aloha Alan
I’m working on another post and don’t have time for the research right now but I would ask someone (like NWO Reporter) who brings up the unreliability of eye witnesses to look up the studies done about multiple eye witnesses. My recollection is that when more than one person testifies to something witnessed, the chances that it’s in error go down exponentially, to the point where if it’s more than three or four, the odds for reliability flip flop to like 95%. This isn’t precisely the same thing but it’s certainly related.
Then after all those eyewitnesses see the event, show them a video of the event that has been altered. Then have them listen to some media coverage that alters it, and to the testimony of other eye witnesses that varies somewhat from their own recollections. Then see to what extent those alternations have been incorporated into their memory. It’s a related issue, but it’s not straightforward.
The only issue I really raised was about eyewitness identification–i.e., “that’s the guy who attacked us!” They are very unreliable. My instincts say a conglomeration of eyewitness reports about an event would tend to produce a more accurate result (“many eyes” thing), but you still have the problem that everything someone encounters after an event can influence their memory of it. If they sat around discussing it afterward, their individual stories would probably evolve into closer agreement about that happened.
Adding salt to the wound – don’t forget we have the ever evolving crisis actors that have been fucking with the truth or completely fabricating stories out of thin air with their ‘eyewitness’ accounts of what the Ministry of Truth parrots on us; making this much more difficult than it already is.
That’s not a real thing. IMO.
Just wait for the Russian troll horseshit to start up about now right before the Mueller report next week (for the AG). They need to whoop up the evangelicals, so they become afraid, and think the “deep state” is trying to take down the President, rather than he is a fat, lazy, corrupt man, and has been for a long time.
It’s going to be chaos in the social media. One bs thing after another being driven by Russian troll-bot farms. Maybe email. For a month or two, I was getting random weird emails that politically opposed each other that were making it through the spam filter. Make sure to mark spam that you did not request whether you agree with it or not, to help the email providers mark unrequested spam.
Hi Chris , what on earth are you waffling on about and why are you paying so much attention and getting so emotionally upset about people you have never met from an unreliable source – MSM ????????
If you are referring to crisis actors not being a real thing, you’ve not done your homework. You might give this a look http://crisiscast.com/
From their website:
“Our specially trained professional role-play actors and internationally credited film crews bring realistic, informed, crisis management and disaster incidents to life. as a company we use state of the art uk and Australian film crafts, tricks and skills for live training that requires hyper real battlefield effects, role players, stunts, medical simulations and combat flashpoints.
We are able to use specialist film techniques and disciplines to bring the best of theatre and film to our live, immersive simulations.”
Absolutely, Todd. The powers that be know very well the huge impact eyewitness accounts can have on perceptions and memories of an event. Even the bad actors can turn a fictional event into reality in the minds of the public, who can’t fathom the possibility they’re being duped.
Okay, Ginny, but please explain the issues I bring up in my new post. And do not leave anything out. Frankly, you are not dealing with How It Would Really Work, if what you claim is true.
Goodnight everyone. Believers and nonbelievers in whatever or whichever, or whomever or whoever.
Allan, regarding too much stuff, don’t boil the ocean. If you keep trying to do that, you will stay in this writer’s block forever, nothing good will come of it. Stay focused on your more important thoughts/findings. Put the others into a list like you’ve done before at http://blog.banditobooks.com/my-list-so-far/ to make them public for the rest of us to research further.
Hello everyone – believers and non-believers~
This Mandela Effect has been going on for years…. here, in regards to the Bible, is a Pastor speaking to his congregants from 2 years ago…..
Bypass the beginning 7 or so minutes (music/singing) and begin viewing/listening at the 8:00 minute mark to hear what this pastor has to say.

Kind regards to all,
~Kimberlie
Hi kimberlie. That was nice way to start a comment. I could learn a little from that.
‘Don’t boil the ocean’? What does that mean? And if writer’s block is my problem, what are you all reacting to?
Boil the ocean means taking on too much work, therefore nothing gets done. You can easily boil a pot of water away vs boiling all the oceans in the world, if your objective is to only boil the water in the pot. Take it one pot (issue) at a time. With you claiming too much stuff, I figured it was appropriate to state to stay focused on what’s most important to you. You keep bringing up – sorry folks for not writing sooner, but there is just too much stuff….” – It was only a suggestion to help get you writing more often.
My suggestion was only that – to get you writing more frequently so that I may understand more. And for those less important topics, list them out so we all may benefit from your work. Maybe even assign a confidence level as to the truthfulness to them to some of your less important work (to me it’s all important, but we all have to prioritize as some point) so we all can benefit.
One of these types of things that really freaked me out when I noticed it a few years back is the Berenstain/Berenstein switch. When I was a kid, we read Berenstein Bears books, but now they call them Berenstain Bears and apparently it has always been this way! The most interesting explanation is a parallel universe theory; those of us who read Berenstein shifted from Berenstein-verse to Berenstain-verse at some point in the 90’s according to popular theory. Relevant article – http://www.woodbetween.world/2012/08/the-berenstein-bears-we-are-living-in.html
Yes, quantum memory from other parallel realities (superposition of states) humans remember more than one set of parallel states.
Quantum doesn’t fit there. You’re not a physicist, I take it? Yeah, me either. But I know that is a word salad.
I think Jerome Busemeyer mentions ” quantum memory ” but you are 100% correct I’m no quantum physicist…..
The wolf
According to A Dictionary of Symbols:
“Wolf Symbolic of valour among the Romans and the Egyptians. It also appears as a guardian in a great many monuments. In Nordic mythology we are told of a monstrous wolf, Fenris, that would destroy iron chains and shackles and was eventually shut up in the bowels of the earth. It was also said that, with the twilight of the gods–the end of the world–the monster would break out of this prison too, and would devour the sun. Here, then, the wolf appears as a symbol of the principle of evil, within a pattern of ideas which is unquestionably related to the Gnostic cosmogony. … The myth is also connected with all other concepts of the final annihilation of the world, whether by water or fire.”–p. 375
Couldn’t also the reverse be true? Couldn’t the people who claim the Bible is changing plant a false memory by suggesting something very close to what the text originally read, then point to the unchanged text to show you there is a discrepancy? I doubt many of us have the Bible memorized word for word, cover to cover.
A good example of the false memory/Mandela Effect is the Sinbad “Shazaam” movie https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sinbad-movie-shazaam/ – a friend asked me if I remembered this movie and my mind immediately conjured up a film that never existed.

Come on! BS https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jan/14/aladdin-will-smiths-genie-why-the-internet-thinks-hes-sinbad-from-shazaam
This one is really interesting to me because I was reading more about the Mandela Effect and the Sinbad as Shazaam thing came up in a list of common MEs and I was like, wait, that is a real movie. So I went on IMDB where I look up movie stuff and tried to bring up the movie by searching on the actor. I typed in Shaq and found the movie Kazaam. This is immediately after reading the actor was Sinbad!
So you finally did make it down to The Texas coast. I recognized the building in the background, The Dunes, and the surrounding landscape. It sure is a beautiful area and we sure do miss it. F’n Harvey! — Anyway… I don’t but into any “Organized Religion” bullshit so it can all go to hell as far as I’m concerned. — I see it’s 11:04 PM there so have yourself a good rest Allan…
As for Mr.Rogers…the documentary has him singing “this”…
What documentary, Greg? Is it ‘Mister Rogers and Me?’ Please respond.
‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” 2018
Too busy else ware to keep up with you guys yet that phone call, if real, is disturbing. More so given the history of P.P. mom Margaret Sanger.
Good point. I forget to mention about the Planned Parenthood connection, which is obscure enough (and sinister enough) to lend a little credence to the veracity of the call.
According to a biblical scholar I just found on the internet, the “wolf” passage is often misquoted, and the the true “lion and lamb” passage is found in Revelations 5:5-6:
“5 And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
“6 And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.”
The lion also appears in the same passage as the lamb and wolf in Isaiah 11:6:
“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.”
And in this one:
Isaiah 65:25
“The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.”
At least one very famous painting featuring a lion laying down with a lamb, the Peaceable Kingdom, dates back to the 1820s, Prints have been hung on millions of living room walls over the years. There are so many references to the lion laying down with the lamb in popular culture, that most people see it far more there they ever do in the Bible, if they ever see it there at all. This seems like a mistake that is easy to understand, Even someone who knows the Bible better than most could easily get confused and have to look it up.
That said, the Bible is changing, and has been changing, from the beginning. It used to be done the old-fashioned way, through new editions, and destruction of the old ones. Once the total transition to online info is complete, it will be easy to modify it going forward by a few taps on the keyboard by some douchebag at the Ministry of Truth.
Yeah, I’ve tried looking at it that way — sans ‘the supernatural’ and so forth — and it doesn’t work, not in context of the sheer amount of ‘contradictions’ and picturing how it would work in an ‘explicable’ manner.
The Bible never made much sense to me, just in trying to figure out what’s happening, historically. A lot of it reads like nonsense. But then people come across passages like the following:
2 Kings 6:28-30 King James Version (KJV)
28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
29 So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
I tried reading the whole chapter, to see if I could understand what was going on. It’s here:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Kings+6&version=KJV
Which doesn’t help at all. But people who claim to have all but memorized the whole book claim that the eating of children was never in the KJV. I TEND to believe them. This is horrific stuff and perfectly in line with the pedophiles and occult lunatics that appear to be in power.
It truly is horrific, what’s going down. Don’t know about you, but I’m feeling like everything’s accelerating at speed recently and so much horror is being exposed at such a fast pace. Even worse, the ptb seem to be revelling in it. No one is looking shame faced or remotely sorry, all I see is smug, complacent, cocky bastards who are LOVING what they’re doing. It’s as if they know they’ve got this all sewn up….wtf do we do?
Prayer and Fasting… it brings me peace, pray the baztardz repent for their evil deeds and their hearts change. cant really do much more if you choose to stand on the side of love… aloha
The context of the child-eating is “a great famine in Samaria.” That’s a context where child-eating has been known to occur. There is all kinds of crazy shit in the Bible that most people don’t realize is there, like father/daughter incest that does not even seem to be frowned upon. Lots of Christians think Lucifer refers to Satan, but actually the name Lucifer is only mentioned once in the KJV bible, and it’s not clear from the context that it refers to Satan.
The Bible is both a historical text and propaganda. I think it’s pretty rare even for Christians to read it carefully and thoughtfully cover-to-cover. But it’s probably not rare for Christians to claim they’ve done that, and for preachers to avoid the nasty bits in their sermons. So it doesn’t seem mysterious that many Christians don’t know about those nasty bits. Religion is a business, and they want to keep their customer base.
Obviously, this issue has gotten my attention. I do have to get on to other matters. Anyway, here’s a phone call, the provenance of which is unknown. It could be a complete fake. I don’t know. But here it is (go 4 minutes in):

First of all, very slick video. It immediately screams troll to me. They set you up with a few false memories, then BAM they hit you with scary horseshit while you are slightly off balance from questioning your own memory, then throw in a few more set ups for false memories. It’s all the more popular ME bible crap, put to carefully selected background music. Bible thumpers go bonkers because of their belief in perfect memory of an extremely wonky book that can be interpreted an infinite number of ways, and can be used to justify anything. Ooooh the scary planned parenthood guy, trying to crush Christianity by changing the word of god supernaturally. Except it didn’t say that. And he was talking about someone else speaking at some gathering. News alert. There were nut jobs in 1969, too. However, I also would like to see the source material, since it sounded like digital filters imitating magnetic tape, or a more current recording on a more recent than 1969 mini tape recorder. I smell trolls under this bridge.
There is an awful lot in the Bible that is hard to justify, and kind of tiptoed around. Look at Allan’s examples. If I thought it was the word of god, I would think that it was written by one schizophrenic motherfucker.
A good point mixed in with straw men and semi-straw men. The Planned Parenthood association actually hints that it’s a fake, given Christians and abortion. Ignore my previous comment.
We can disagree amiably.
So then, Alan believes some some supernatural entity is erasing ink and replacing words in books around the world no matter where they are physically located? Are there other events recorded equal to this phenomenon ? It wouldn’t behoove me that there were men constructing the very first versions of the Bible that would have a motive to include themselves into heaven be they murderers, rapists or sexual preference minorities as they were clearly around back then as they are now. There are so many contradictions in the Bible that it hardly makes a difference, as two true believers can pretty much argue to their hearts content using nothing other than passages from their favorite heavily highlighted personal bibles.Many used to do this quite a bit in the comment section of infowars years ago to the point that they tired themselves and the their readers to the point of exhaustion. I imagine even an omniscient god quit paying attention Alex’s comment section in 2012 at the least.
Alan in his writings appears to wander the net until he finds something that annoys him then rails against this entity for whatever perceived inaccuracy he feels he sees even if it is only very important (to him) 2% of said persons broadcast. Then the broadcaster 86’s Alan in the way Alan 86’d Eric. Funny that!
He forgets that he was gonna make a sequel to Water Time,was gonna interview truckers,write about what’s in his head in the morning etc. And yet many stay on to see what gonna annoy him next! Like a not so funny Don Rickles, he dares to go there!
As someone has said never give up and never give in! Taunt thy believers and thy unbelievers into a game of one up-manship until the said 86’d result.
I spend a fair bit of time in a remote town that is 75% true believers of the fundamentalist sort. Some are fairly friendly and some not so much. In a town of less than 100 their is 5-10 preachers even if their congregation only includes their wife or the latest vagabond to enter town. The main preacher/informant drives around focused on not seeing what is around him especially those folks not of his church. He won’t wave unless I wave, when our paths cross, but his wave is a reluctant one, based, I suppose on the my neighbor quotation, that does not apply if said neighbor doesn’t wave first or say hi first.
Me I just say, “Hi are you”first or as a reply in my little town to the most fervent believers. I could say, ” Hey you know that book you study it most likely has fraudulent passages dictated to sycophants of the PTB to make their job easier in controlling your actions” But I don’t do this as they will righteously inform the PTB along with any other misdemeanor they may have rooted out through hearsay of my strategically placed tidbits of info that left my mouth as true, but later come back to me thoroughly corrupted.
That’s just the way it is some things will never change. I mean, except perhaps the Bible(s)
If this reaches said town I am siding with this person whom only the bravest of followers should read.

I’m going to have to agree with Chris on the video. I thought the same thing about the Bible video–glaringly so. The emoticon issue is a good example of the manipulation. Surely we can all agree there is a better explanation than “‘Emoticons are a little known olde English tradition’ or some such,”
In grad school in the 1990s, we learned about a mountain of memory research, which no doubt is very useful for the controllers. There are a lot of ways memories can be altered, organically and deliberately. People tend to overestimate the reliability of their own memories, and a lot of these alleged MEs are about minor details like pronouns and spellings. Memory is counter-intuitive sometimes–for example, eyewitness identification is widely viewed as very reliable evidence, especially to the person making it who is ‘absolutely sure’, but in fact it is so unreliable, it’s reasonable to argue it should not be allowed in court at all.
The ME is ‘real’ in the sense that widespread “misremembering” can occur for various reasons, and history can be rewritten. I have yet to see an alleged ME that cannot be explained by one or the other.
Love and peace in the NT.

too many comments so I have not read them all. Excuse me if I am repeating what others have already said. First..The Hypocrite was probably driving the bus because, I have heard, the Amish cannot drive but they can be driven. Second…of course the Bible is being changed. American Christians, so called, are actually believers in some obscure Hebrew cult as they hardly ever quote from anything but the Old Testament. I believe modern American reality cannot be squared with Jesus’ words…Love thy neighbour, Forgive, love and help the poor, do not kill etc. Vengeance is not a virtue for true Christians, war is untenable, harrassing the poor is not a virtue. Third.. I remember noticing when I read the Bible a long time ago that Jesus is tied to the cross and there is no mention of nails. Sorry I was not raised religious so I cannot comment with much accuracy on this thread. However, the rewriting of our history seems rampant to me. I want to find an old book about clouds. I KNOW I have never seen the formations of clouds that I have seen in the past few years. Invariably someone says, reassuringly, Oh that is a such and such formation, they happen all the time. No they do not but I cannot prove that cloud formation is being rewritten as weirdness appears these days. When you found the formulation of “the wolf lies down with the lamb”…are you reading a new printing of that passage or is your Bible printed recently? Good to hear from you!
Yep, they are spraying our atmosphere with heavy metals and other poisons. That’s not arguable. Some sort of ‘end times’ seem to be coming. Selfishly speaking, I’m glad I was born when I was. With all my mistakes, it’s been a fun life.
You have two different avatars on these posts. Which one is the real allan? …the green one or the orange one?
;-| (zen winky straight face)
I use two laptops. like the straight face. first time i liked one.
One odd thing about whatever is going on is that none of the ‘major’ alt media moles have brought it up. A deafening silence from almost all of them. If this were a psy op of any kind, you would think these bastards would mention it. It’s another strange aspect of this. Doesn’t really fit with the idea that the PTB are behind it. It’s like they want to keep it quiet, which implies they don’t really have control over it. This conflicts with my thought that there is an agenda behind the biblical changes.
For me, the ME stuff exploded overnight on YouTube, just like the FE stuff–there was nothing quiet about it at all. But everyone’s experience on YT is impacted by their usage history, so that could vary. It seems like the same big names in alt-media who avoid the FE stuff also avoid the ME stuff–too ‘woo’, probably. But there are more disinformation layers than just the big alt media names.
It’s possible the ultimate goal of the ME is to get people to accept that changes in the events they remember are commonplace and normal, and not indicative of deliberate deception. That would facilitate the routine alteration of history a la Orwell’s 1984. It works either way, whether you believe the ME is due to natural quirks in memory, or is something supernatural. Either way they can gradually amp it up beyond minor details of childhood memories to include more and more substantive (and accurate) memories.
I pulled up several of the “:)” references in the KJV bible, and all made sense in context. It occurs whenever a sentence ending in colon is enclosed within parentheses. The Bible tends to use more colons than is typical in modern writing, where a period is more often used instead. Example below.
Leviticus 24:11 Context
“… And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; 11And the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name of the LORD, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:) 12And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.”
Yeah, maybe, but the question then becomes Why would the translators use so many colons, when periods would be used. Was that the convention back when the translations were done? I don’t know, but would like to. The ‘smiley face’ is a good example of what a sly occultist would insert, just for laughs. But I dunno, not for sure.
This sounds like a good history of punctuation. Yes, it sounds like colons were more commonly used. And the most common translations were probably done when punctuation was totally “free-form,” prior to the creation of agreed grammatical rules.
http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/punctuation.htm
Like I said, the Bible is always changing and probably bears little resemblance to the original. When it’s all online, the sky’s the limit. No magic required, just a keyboard.
Good catch but I would say (to a linguistic scholar) that since the right paren does the work of ‘pausing’, why jumble it up by adding a colon? No matter, we could go back and forth all day. I dunno if the smiley faces are accidental or not. Could be that you are correct here. It’s just one thing.
I agree that when they have everything online, we’re in deep deep trouble, but that’s not what we’re talking about. NOW, it’s not like that. Did you listen to that phone call?
A woman is upset, not because she boiled and ate her child, but because the other woman went back on her promise to cook HER kid. This is in the Bible as it was written? Too much stuff!
