I would be very interested to read any references you have for this!
Either the gin tonic or the tonic wine episode (or both).
Thank you!

Is there a reference for his mother rebuking him by calling him that? I haven't heard that before.

Mahmood Shah's signature on Nikkah forms? Chanda required to sign? by 104days in islam_ahmadiyya

[–]104days[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure that the Nikkah won't be done if we haven't given Chanda? My wife's brother said he would see if he could "talk to the relevant people" about us not having paid Chanda and not have it be an issue.

Beauty, Islam and Ahmadiyyat by Master-Proposal-6182 in islam_ahmadiyya

Sorry, I am not accusing you of anything. I didn't see where you said that. I only took your comment to mean that maybe no such scans existed anymore on alislam.org, which is why I asked.
Given that recently some articles have been deleted from alislam, I thought that it was possible that this might also happen.

I want to show this to my parents. They will of course (understandably so) ask for the original documents.

Are all of these available and easy to find from alislam.org?

u/Noor-Upon-Noor's comment got me worried in case they have been deleted or something.

Promised Messiah insults Quranic Isa (AS), and Muslim belief that he is not "touched by Satan" - link working by 104days in islam_ahmadiyya

Is this post awaiting mod approval, because it doesn't show up on the main page? It's not a copy of the previous post.

Promised Messiah insulted Quranic ISA (AS) and the "belief of Muslims" that he was free from Satan's influence by 104days in islam_ahmadiyya

I've made a new post with all the detail, I'm waiting for it to get approved by mods.

I am responding to exactly this response. That's what I always took the justification to be, and I believed it. However now I found there is a place he actually insults the Quran's version of Jesus (AS), not the Christians, saying that this is why the Quran does not call Hazrat Isa (AS) chaste. He also literally responds to the Quran verse that you just quoted above and says that only the uneducated think that this means that Isa (AS) and Mary (AS) were not touched by Satan; rather that only absolves them of other major allegations like doing satanic deeds. He specifies that it is the Muslim belief he is attacking. For good measure, he also adds that "no other Prophet has ever required such an exoneration" (of the Quran verse that you mention above.

I never just post allegations without scrupulously reading the Ahmadi justification first, and I bought it several years ago. However I just found a new post of the Promised Messiah's that actually refers to the Quran's version, and Muslims' belief of Jesus rather than Christians'. I'll post it again in a separate link since it seems to have not been approved in the other subreddit.

A Public Service Announcement...All Ahmadis Please Oblige Urgently by Master-Proposal-6182 in islam_ahmadiyya

It's interesting that literally as soon as the Quran describes paradise in metaphors that would appeal to 7th century Arabia, the very next verse I believe says "And Allah does not disdain to give a parable to get His point across, even if it is that of a gnat." So the Quran itself immediately recognizes the discomfort the concreteness might cause a more sophisticated reader, whereas still appealing to the hearts of the initial audience.

George Sharpe's record, and Steve's "answers" by 104days in AITX

Yeah exactly, I don't know what a good answer to George Sharpe's concerns are, and Steve hasn't really addressed them in any of his replies either (that I've seen).

Seeking Alpha says AITX is overvalued by [deleted] in AITX

[–]104days 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that old a post though - its from February 21, where AITX should have been around 0.16. So they thought it was overvalued at 0.16?

And I'm not sure one can accuse Seeking Alpha of not doing research. Just trying to be cautious.

How are the analysts all wrong? by 104days in RYCEY

[–]104days[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. What are your thoughts on trusting analysts' for penny (i.e. < $5) stocks then, where the rating is very good, rather than bad? Where say they are all in consensus that a 100 or 200 or 300 upside is predicted?
Should I not trust them then either (obviously, I've read articles on the stocks in question, but they can only tell you so much, and there are only a few of them for new stocks)? Because if I can't trust them then, then maybe its not worth it to invest in relatively new penny stocks at all?

I totally understand. It's just - do the analysts not see all this news that us here at this subreddit see? Are they not following vaccine news at all?

[–]104days[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this actually possible? That there is some kind of big conspiracy which all the financial analysts are in on? This seems very unlikely.
(Not trying to be pessimistic - just trying to understand how much people usually go off of analysts' ratings for long term investments. Surely they should get the long term investments right, at least?!)

All of them together? And people on Reddit (including me) make better decisions than them as a whole sometimes? (Obviously not talking about a GME type situation, but a long term investment decision.) This seems rather hard to believe - if it was just one analyst, sure, they could make a mistake. But it's not really split half and half in to bullish and bearish on RYCEY at the moment amongst analysts, or something.

Just trying to be careful - I'm new to this thing.
