Recently someone  really dumped on me. I didnt react.  I just accepted it. And didnt strike back.  I think it was unfair. No matter.  I can live with the person unfairly treating me, and not strike back. It hurts a lot.  I want to shrink. And i feel petulant and passive aggressive. And i really have to fight that urge. Its humiliating to be treated that way.

But…i love that person.  Be ause of that my greatest need here is to just be patient. Now, if I could just react this way with my wife!!!!   No, it  wasnt my wife dumping on me.  But …  she defended me. That was huge!!!!!.  It made me feel warm towards her instead of cold and angry.

A test owner is the person whose DNA is reflected in the test results. An owner can assign someone else to manage their test.

A test manager can do everything an owner can do, including invite others to view the test, delete the test results, and download the DNA Data. An owner can remove a manager from their test at any time. A manager cannot remove an owner.

Making someone a manager is useful when the owner is either not interested in managing their own results or is unable to manage their test.

Inviting a manager

1. From any page on Ancestry, click the DNA tab and select Your DNA Results Summary.
2. On your DNA homepage, click Settings in the top-right corner.
3. On the DNA Settings page, scroll down to the Visibility and sharing section and select DNA test sharing.
4. If you’ve never shared your results with the person you’re inviting to manage your test, click Invite and go to the next step. If you’ve shared your results with them before, click their role and change it to Manager. After changing their role, enter your password and click Assign Role. Skip the rest of the steps below. You’ll receive an email when the person accepts their role as manager.
5. Enter their email address or Ancestry® username, select Manager, and choose Invite. Whether you enter their email address or username, the invitation will be sent by email.
6. When your invitation is accepted, you’ll receive an email letting you know.

Where the managed test appears

Unless the test is deleted, a DNA test always remains on the account on which it was activated (the owner’s account). When someone becomes a manager, the owner’s test appears on both the manager’s account and on the owner’s account, on each person’s DNA homepage. The manager can access the test they manage by clicking View Another Test from their own DNA homepage.

Memberships

A membership purchased on one account does not transfer to another account. If you manage someone else’s DNA test on your account and your account has a membership, you can access the DNA features of their test that are available with a membership. If you manage someone else’s test on your account and you don’t have a membership (but they do), you don’t have access to the features available only with a membership.

Quoting someone…

Some understanding is connected to the reason that sowing discord among the brethren is listed as the 7th and most abominable of all sins in the Scripture. Why? Because Lucifer acted upon his private usurpatious thoughts by drawing away 1/3 of the angels after him. Thus, sowing discord – going public with evil and causing others to stumble – is the well-spring of every evil thing that has ever happened on this planet…thus, in God’s view, a sin worse than murder. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

Romans 14 … unimportant trivial controversies … entires swathes of citizens of a country were mentioned as horrible … no explanation … no logic…
and you cant say “just stop”. You cant even mention that Uncle Screwtape taught his nephew Wormwood how to divide christians by causing trivial controversies to divide and distract. A perfect Scewtape strategy!!!!!
CS Lewis talked about the church being a hallwsy with many rooms. But Romans 14 would throw cold water on someone in room A rallying everyone in the room to be upset with the folks in room B, all because of a personal opinion about room B. Based on a purely secular value system.
And placing the secular matter above the bible itself.

This is the immaturity spoken of the fellow who mentions “we are an international group.”

Would it be true that this Screwtape Strategy is seen all around the world?

Im not so sure it is just one country that exhibits this. I’d have to take his word for it. I myself only know of the one instance.

Nobody will react well to being bullied against their consent. Everyone I talk to on the street complains about small town pride “shit” that denies pride in your own lifestyle – you are not allowed to have pride in your own culture – only theirs. Then you realize they HATE you and your children the way Hitler and Himmler hated Jews. And masses plan to resist at all levels. So TARGET MUST DIE becomes a little marble that rolls around in the back of your head and you begin to wish their pride supporters to fall into perditon, knowing you will laugh as you piss on the graves of the ones who stole the rainbow.

I sold 100 shares of UTG after reviewing 10 year total return. The orange curve lags far behind other income investments. I hate to be a trader but the fund’s strategy indicated too much risk. And in one monthI already have a whole years worth of dividend.

Sometimes paying attention to industry chatter actually pays off.

Now I can rotate some more.

1. Hear the Gospel (Romans 10:17)
2. Believe the Gospel (Hebrews 11:6)
3. Repent of Sins (Acts 2:38)
4. Confess Faith in Christ (Acts 8:37)
5. Be Baptized(Acts 22:16)
6. Believe Genesis is 100% Literal (Hamm 17:12)
   
   Wait a minute … that last one isn’t in the bible, is it?
   
   
   Yes, I know there are a bunch of people who believe #6, but I’m not buying it because it is added to the scriptures by the flawed minds of men.

There is a difference between being true and being literal. Don’t fall into a pothole.

(This is a HOWTO page.)

Tips I have learned when setting up a book: (A WIP: Work in progress. This article will grow.)

0. Pre-existing sources. Let me begin by saying I do not have any pre-existing text to import from that abomination called WORD. I have text from scans, PDFs, and web sources. Can’t help you if you are a victim of microsoft. “Use the force , Luke”, get off of microsoft.

1. Document type. This is your target media. For a book choose PRINT as a document type because it uses the CYMK color space which is narrower than RGB for digital media.

2. Pages. I myself use letter size pages. That is 8-1/2 inch by 11 inches in size. I also use facing pages for a book. One reason is I want graphics on the left page which are discussed in the text on the right page. So when you open the book flat on the table it looks like one big super-page. It has lots of re-estate for complex information to be prresented.

And for print I personally use multiples of 12 pages. That has to do with producing a hardcopy version in print. You could do 4 pages minimum but someone may ask for 6 pages or 12 pages.

For digital PDF nobody cares how many pages you use.

3. Front Matter. I am going to skip that for now. There is a bunch of it, but I want to get to the essential core issues first.

4. Columns. I use a single column on a text page because I am including source document images for genealogy which are inline. I may try to use a 2/3rds left text and 1/3 right column layout for graphics or perhaps have text wrap around images. That is intermediate level and is experimental to me. For now single column per page works beast for me. You can change this on a page by page basis.

5. Margins. I like left/right margins to be 0.5 inch. You may like less.

6. Bleed. Puts images all the way to the edge of the paper. You have to print beyond the edge of a page and trim back to the size of the page. The outer guide line around the page (in RED) shows the bleed line. Bleed, BTW, is set in “File->Document Setup”, or Ctl-Alt-P. After watching the videos I didnt remember and it took me 10 minutes to find this. Googling does not help because websites do not give good command line style presentation representing “how-to” procedures. They always assume you know how to navigate and do not need actual step by step instructions. When done here I hope I have including sufficient instructions on how to actually accomplish a task.

7. Preset. Save your document setup as a preset. Give it a name.

8. Panels and Layout. Configuring where you like your panels is covered in this lecture. This was a huge mystery to me. Not knowing where everything is (ie, all the panels) was a huge impediment to me at first.

9. Master Pages. Plan on having a None Master. That can be used to easily reset formatting from a doc page.


After that cascading master pages are useful. Start with Top-Master. Derived from that I have a Left-Start-Master and a Right-Start-Master. These are for facing pages that have a header at the beginning of a chapter. Also derived from Top-Master is LeftDoc-Master and RightDoc-Master. These are the master pages for the document pages in the body of the chapter, i.e., that do not contain chapter start layouts.

More on this later.

10. Guides. This is HUGE. I didnt know about it at first. Don’t even start until you set this up (except to play around for familiarity).

Why?

You can set horizontal guidelines to leave space at the top for a header frame and at the bottom for tunning footers. Then you drop text frames and graphics frames between these and later the header and footer will not overlap them. you want these guidelines on the master pages so you cannot accidentally select them and move them while editing text.

Layout grids can help too. Examples of layout grid results:

The grid lines appear on master pages and never appear on the document pages. They are used for laying out frames on top of them in order make them align correctly. Text and images are then placed in them.

As an example you need left and right document master pages for each of the 4 layout types shown above. this requires forethought about what you want the results to look like.

Want to see some TOXIC Christianity?

According to this guy, Isaac Bourne:

Issac Bourne

He says,

Let me explain how any deep time creation idea destroys the gospel.

By making death viable before sin, makes death a part of creation. Regardless what death it is aka animal or humans. Death being a part of the creation = the creation was imperfect. The Creator was imperfect = the Creator is not God because God does not create imperfect things. And being that death was not caused by Adam’s sin. Christ cannot die to give us life because man did not cause death, God did = gospel destroyed.

Also Jesus shed His blood in the same order as sin:

1) Adam first sin was in a garden. Jesus shed his blood in a garden when he prayed that God take this burden from Him and He sweet great drops of blood.

2) First curse was when God curse the ground to always grow thorns and thickets and man will always have to work to make a living by the sweat of his brow. They made a crown of those same thorns and thickets, and when it was placed upon His head he shed blood on those thorns and the same blood also ran across His brow.

etc…

So, to mess with death and sin order is to mess with the order of how Jesus shed His blood to forgive our sins. And also plants doubt in God’s Word to it being literally true. Because you have to use words that imply it’s a lie like: Oh it’s poetry, myth, or analogy etc… You also instill offense in the people who listen to you that the whole Word of God is not true, so where does one draw the line or is it all a lie?

Think about this silliness for just a moment ….

So, if sinless Adam stepped on an ant or a bug or ate an ant in his sandwich, or bit into an apple and chomed a worm in the apple —

TADAH! Death preceded Adam’s sin and BOOM the whole bible is destroyed!!!!

I’m not buying Isaac’s premise.

Issue 1: Definition of death is contrived. Is it death of a human? (a soulful being?) or death of any living creature?

Issue 2: Definition of perfection is contrived. Creation cannot be perfect if death exists. Who says?

Issue 3: Conflation of Adam in the garden and Jesus in a garden. Makes no literal sense at all. Isaac abandons literalness when convenient to do so.

Issue 4: Humans are messing with death and sin order. How so? They didn’t follow the instructions Isaac gave humanity. Oh, Isaac thinks he is following something God gave humanity. But in reality he merely imposed his own flawed understanding onto the bible. And onto all other humans.

Issue 5: Unforgiveability of humans. Not in this post but in others Isaac makes it clear humans cannot be forgiven by God for disagreeing with him. Even the work of Christ on the cross is not enough. Thus he elevates his own ideas above God’s redeeming work.

Issue 6: There was no biological ecosystem before Adam’s sin. What did Adam and Eve eat? Plants? Do plants have insect parts on them or microscopic animals on them? Which leads to:

Issue 7. Definition of lifeforms. Isaac’s definition of life is contrived.

Issue 8: The difference between biological death and spiritual death is totally ignored in Isaac’s theology.
