shadorneThe silence of the evangelists in response to your $2000 challenge is absolutely deafening. Any rational person has to ask, "how real can these claimed audible effects be if the evangelists refuse to pocket easy money and dismiss the ...

jinjukuHere is the fundamental problem: Subjectivists have taken this one step too far. If you believe contributors here have ventured "one step too far," you should alert the moderators. They control the conversation here, not you and your "put...

Wife trouble
