After a couple of hours on the WB political threads:

What we need is another "Tennessee Elijah."  

Tennessee Elijah was a guy who got on here years ago and tried to convince everyone that he was the reincarnation of Elijah the prophet and he had written I and II Elijah was going to get them in the Bible.   He was here to, among other things, recruit people for his movement to petition the powers that be in the Church world to get his "Scriptures" into Bible.   Things were "spicy" for while around here.   Kind of broke up the monotony of the same old recycled topics.

I have been here for over 13 years and yes, there are probably hundreds of threads on the same small pool of topics, literally hundreds.

Oh yeah, the books of Tennessee Elijah I think they're right next Tennessee Jed LOL I would have laughed if I was here bc if I didn't laugh I'd get mad. And no one likes me when I'm mad. (and I don't even turn green) LOL

But speaking of new things Kevin Sorbo produced a new dramatized audio Bible called the Breathe Bible. He gave away the Gospel of Mark as a sample. I've listened to most of it and I don't recognize the translation. But there's so many translation these days that's not a surprise. Has anyone else heard this? I'm wondering if it's accepted translation of something Sorbo had done. It seems very paraphrased to me.

Now there's an interesting topic..."Why do some lurkers lurk for years and never post?"

I suppose if you asked them they would have to stop lurking in order to answer.

Maybe they are shy?

As form political no thanks unless it has changed.  I got a warning there, deserved maybe but then there are many posts like that over there.  I avoid it completely because of that and the fact that if you dont agree with Trump you get piled on

I gave up on the political forum during the Primeries, it wasn't a welcoming place for a Rubio supporter.

Maybe, but what better place to overcome shyness than on an online forum?

I'm living proof of that. I am very shy, but in the early days of my Christian walk I was able to discuss my thoughts with a sense of anonymity, but soon got close to some people which ended up in me going 4000 miles from my home to a gathering in Nashville. I also met my wife on worthy. This place has been very important to me.

Some topics are just gravitational, if i may use that word.  Until, new and even long time believers has settled their convictions on some fundamental issues that may seem confusing or are bewildered by not getting a firm grasp on the subject, there will always be interest on those topics,  plus, seekers of truths go into depths that the lukewarm only touch and withdraw.  This is what God wants us his children to do, to be immersed in his word with iron sharpening iron.  Tell or show me the man who have mastered the Bible and has the answers pat down.

Yes, us "anti- Trumpers" which is what they call us are a minority.
