The Philosophy of Time Travel by Roberta Ann Sparrow Decode ​ The Philosophy of Time Travel By Roberta Ann Sparrow Decode “The Philosophy of Time Travel By Roberta Ann Sparrow” Decoded By Timothy Edward Ochs II September 29 2020 I believe God wants this out to the public, Im no one special, just a skateboarder from ohio who was born on halloween. Somehow God found me on my terms, without a church or a bible. This decode is not something that should be charged for. In spreading his word I know he will take care of me, and you in abundance. Please give credit to me if you reference or share this., My name is pronounced “timothy edward oaks the second” Any tips and/or donations, would be greatly appreciated and put to good use. Paypal - THECINCYSBKID Cashapp - OCHSCO Venmo - OCHSCO Find me on social - thecincysbkid I am not accusing anyone mentioned in this decode, I am simply showing the facts that they add up to the same thing. Statistically speaking the mathematical probability of the numberology of all these terms sums actually equaling each other is near impossible to compute. How many coincidences before something becomes mathematically impossible? My personal opinions are not expressed although I always encourage intelligent healthy debate. No matter what is going on in the world right now, know me and God both love you all very much. We need to look out for each other and be good to each other. God will win. “GOD HAS A PLAN” Donnie Darko is a movie that at first went unnoticed by the general public but became a cult classic in an instant among those who saw it. Its public release was in 2001 and the directors cut was released in 2004-2005. In a nutshell, Donnie sleepwalks and just escapes death but is haunted by a 6 foot bunny named frank who tells him the world is going to end on halloween. By the end of the movie Donnie exposes a pedophile, becomes facinated by the idea of time travel because what he reads in this fictional book “The Philosophy of Time Travel By Roberta Ann Sparrow”, watches his girlfriend be run over by a car to find out its Frank which he kills. When the portal opens above earth on the day he was told it would end, by the hand of god and an artifact of metal, he time travels back to the day he escaped death so he could set things right and save the world. “Donnie Darko by Richard Kelly” - Year Twenty Twenty Numeralogy Simple Decoding method - A -1 B-2 C-3 D-4 E-5 F-6 G-7………..Z-26 Explaination of decode: Black writing is orignal line in “the philosophy of time travel”, Number in black is the number value of what was written in black. Red writing is the decode, due to numeralogy there are multiple possibilites so in some cases I chose the most fitting answer or answers, in other cases I have given possible names aswell. I copied from the internet and have seen some spelling errors in things so if there was a spelling error there will be multiple decodes. / means another combination of letters that equal the same thing. THE PHILOSOPHY OF TIME TRAVEL (322) the holy channeling of almighty god By Roberta Sparrow (216) chosen messenger of god FOREWARD (90) the bible code I would like to thank the Sisters of the Saint John Chapter in Alexandria, Virginia for their support in my decision.

Introduction This chapter looks at the way that gender and sexuality are performed and constructed within the series Pop Idol (2001-3) American Idol (2002-present) and the X Factor (2004-present). These shows were big hits in the UK and USA, propelling several acts to stardom, not least judge Simon Cowell, who features in all three. They offer the audience a chance to witness the creation of 'pop stars' by taking ordinary people and showing their transformations (Holmes, 2004) into celebrities. However, the process of star making at work in these shows offers strong discourses about what it means to be a man or a woman.
