Open Society...founded by George Soros and the chairman is George Soros.
Seems like a legit transfer....proceed with your defense there cannypakesy.

I’m not seeing that a defense of anything is necessary, given that no accusations have been leveled by you.

Maybe you are just unaware of how these things typically work. See the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for a similar approach.

Keep in mind subbies frames of reference include Trump's charity paying for paintings at Mare a Lago and the LDS church paying real estate debts out of their non-profit. So.

So how do you translate "Turn the other cheek”.?


Arthur C Clarke was right. Christianity died the moment Luther nailed up his 99 thesis. Lay people are not capable or qualified to interperet scripture.


Puzzled I note that Luther was not a lay person and he was not proposing debate with lay people. Since the first century lay people have used relatively expert people to guide interpretation but for something like "turn the other cheek" have had to do some personal evaluation.

What does it mean to turn the other cheek is a good question. It is one better not ignored by referring to experts whose help would be limited at best.

And Trump having to dissolve his ‘charity’ because it was a fraud.
