Yeah roger that. Stick and carrot possibilities should be used. At Goodyear we sometimes had to settle things that way. Some got it through words and some had to go to the basement. Mighty dark down there. Noisy too! You are absolutely correct about discussion. My way of expressing my thoughts can be quite direct and may seem offensive. Hope not! This is really one of the best discussion forums around. So much knowledge so freely shared. Out of line folks should be corralled often for their own good. If they won’t take instruction then they won’t stay around.

(Boʹaz) [possibly, In Strength].
A landowner of Bethlehem in Judah, “a man mighty in wealth” of about the 14th century B.C.E. (Ru 2:1) Boaz was the son of Salma (Salmon) and Rahab, and he was the father of Obed. (Mt 1:5) He was a link in the family line of the Messiah, the seventh in line of descent from Judah. (1Ch 2:3-11; Lu 3:32, 33) How this very unusual turn of events came about, allowing Boaz to be included in the genealogy of Jesus, is preserved for us in the book of Ruth.
Boaz had a close relative named Elimelech, who, along with his two sons, died leaving no male heirs. Of the widows of the two sons, one, Ruth, stuck by Elimelech’s widow Naomi. It was harvesttime, and Ruth was gleaning “by chance” in the field belonging to Boaz. (Ru 2:3) Now Boaz was a true Judean, a devout worshiper of Jehovah. Not only did he greet his harvesters with “Jehovah be with you,” but, after observing Ruth’s loyalty toward Naomi, he also said to her, “May Jehovah reward the way you act, and may there come to be a perfect wage for you from Jehovah.” (Ru 2:4, 12) When Ruth reported these things to her mother-in-law, Naomi exclaimed: “Blessed be he of Jehovah . . . He is one of our repurchasers.” (Ru 2:20) Furthermore, when the harvest ended, Naomi explained to Ruth the customary way of bringing this matter to Boaz’ attention. As Boaz was sleeping at his threshing floor, he awakened to find Ruth lying down at his uncovered feet, asking that he repurchase Elimelech’s estate by levirate marriage. (See BROTHER-IN-LAW MARRIAGE.) Ruth was to be the substitute for Naomi, who was beyond the age of childbearing. Wasting no time, Boaz the next morning summoned another kinsman more closely related, but this person, referred to in the Bible only as So-and-so, refused to comply with the divine arrangement. Boaz, however, was quick to do so and took Ruth as his wife, with the blessing of the townspeople. She bore him a son named Obed, the grandfather of King David.—Ru 3:1–4:17.
Throughout the account, from his first kind greeting to the workers to his acceptance of the responsibility for preserving the family name of Elimelech, Boaz is observed to be an outstanding man—*a man of action and authority yet having good self-control, faith, and integrity, being generous and kind, morally chaste,* and fully obedient to Jehovah’s commandments in all respects.

I am glad this Boaz didn’t rip Ruth a new one!! Not written in Greek I barely do English!

Dam…………and here I am thinking all this time that Boaz was Bo from Arizona. ’Course I never bothered to ponder that Birthplace of Aviation part in his avatar. I just figured it was about Davis-Monthan AFB.

Will wonders EVER cease?

PS. This revelation doesn’t surprise me that he has a deevine origin. Honestly way back when, I first thought he was from Moscow, Russia cuz of the red Sputnik looking thing.

:person_facepalming:

Sorry about the aftermath. :frowning:

And if you doubleclick, it strobes you.

Well, you can count on it, maybe helpful with the math. :stuck_out_tongue:

Toykeeper no apology needed! It’s us blowhards emitting hot air from both ends. If I could follow your example and thought pattern, there would be no shutting me up. I and all here really appreciate all you do for us even if you are a GIRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLL. Calvin and Hobbes reference!! this is in jest if not good taste. I learn so much from all here it really is amazing. Just a fat retired guy in the most well lit wheelchair here around Fort Bragg NC

Nothing to apologize for, as far as I am concerned anyway. This is a good, as well as civil discussion for the most part.

Your knowledge, input, & ‘voice of reason’ is most always respected & appreciated. :+1:

I think you, Boaz, Jerommel, djmcconn, Sb, as well as others; are making & have made valid points in this ‘talk’.


xxxx

Yep… ya’ gotta always watch those “doubleclicks”…… :smiley: . :wink:

Of that, I have no doubt.

I’m picturing one of these mounted on there, and even thinking about it puts spots in my eyes. :slight_smile:

Oh how I wish!!!

Personally, I wish there were more girls interested into flashlights, here on BLF as well as in real life. :heart_eyes:
I refuse to believe this is all about the old-fashioned-thinking that women and technology could not match.

My greatest concern is that I could accidentally hit one of these “alert buttons” when quickly scrolling through the threads on my tablet. :person_facepalming:

@Jerommel: noticing what is happening to the earth is not political and Gus Speth is not a politician. Even ignoring facts or embracing them isn’t, that is a human thing. It is a weird world for scientists these days.

I was afraid you were gonna say that.
But you’re wrong.
Environmental fear porn is pushed for the globalist agenda.
Especially the CO2 and global warming narrative is ambiguous at best.
Meanwhile the powers that shouldn’t be are f*ing around with weather control techniques, of which the chem trails are very visible.
As for scientists, those who go against the globalist narrative get little to no platform in the globalist owned media.
It’s also a matter of funding, of course.
So your “facts” are not facts, they are opinions.
Not saying mankind should not take care of their planet, ofcourse.
But where your signature is also wrong, is hat it tries to blame the people, and not the industries and governments who only care about money.
It’s one of those typical white / western guilt things.

So yes, it is definitely political and politically motivated.

EDIT:
Oh, i see you took it down.
Okay.
I could live with it, but i’m glad it’s gone.

@ Jerommel….
The more you say/write in this thread, the more I like it.
Thank you & well said…. every post. :+1:

no comment (except as said, it is a weird age for scientists to live in, as if The Enlightenment never happened)

You should scrutinize your seemingly blind faith in lab coats and suits & ties in the media.
Now you suggest those who stopped following their mind controllers are dumb…
No offence, Djozz, but it’s time to wake up and see that EVERYTHING is political.
Look into Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, the Kalergi Plan, Marxists Globalism, the religion of the power elites.
They even weaponized the term “conspiracy theory” to dismiss anything that goes against their agendas.
It works…
The establishment only cares about themselves, and they have a propaganda machine Goebbels would have wet dreams about.

Uhm, yes, that’s a very political post, i guess…
But sometimes these things are more important than forum rules i.m.o.
I feel i’m obliged to comment and motivate my position.

“It’s easier to convince people of a lie than to convince them they have been lied to.”
(Mark Twain, probably)

How much worse is it when the control the media, the money and even education…

If it matters, I thought the sig was a worthwhile message, a depressing but insightful comment on the modern world… that today’s most important and most difficult task is less about solving engineering problems and more about improving human behavior.

Not that anyone asked me. It just seemed an odd thing to take offense to.

That’s why i chose to elaborate and explain why i think it’s wrong.
You may have read it…
