I’m no expert for if that parcel aint 300k CLEANED then they’ve been lying to us or the market completely dropped. Which I’ve heard nothing of. That was a 50k kings stone if I’ve ever seeen one

    What is their 'Quest'? Is the 'Quest' channel promoting Christianity? Because no matter what program you seem to watch they always seem to either end up in a church or talk about church related artifacts, religious wars, "God " and "Jesus". Or interview ppl who just happen to be wearing a crucifix around their neck. The director of the shoot knowing its in shot. OR... Maybe its all just a big 'coincidence' ......
