I avoid hallucinations et al by checking the supplied references. Googling has its downfalls as well but also provides an AI summary. Anyway, that led me to this more in-depth and interesting article showing, once again, how critical women were to the ministry. www.gospelpatrons.org/media/the-go...

Anthropic gave the same answer.
My point is that women played a major role in Jesus’ ministry, in relation to the OP.

You’re confusing Mary Magdalene with Jesus’ mother. They are not the same person.

Just honesty in reporting. It just confirmed most of what I already knew: Mary Magdalene was instrumental in funding the organization. People often overlook that aspect.

1. Women who financially supported them

The clearest passage is Luke 8:1–3, which explicitly says several women “provided for them out of their means.” These include:

* Mary Magdalene
* Joanna — described as the wife of Chuza, a steward for Herod Antipas
* Susanna
* “many others” not named

The word “support” made me wonder, so I asked ChatGPT who funded Jesus and his disciples. Here’s the beginning of the response:

The New Testament suggests that Jesus Christ and his disciples were supported mainly by donations and hospitality, especially from a group of women followers.

Possibly. He is protective of whales.

On the opposite side, my brother warned me never to trust a turn signal because where it’s illegal to turn without signaling, there’s no law against driving for miles with a flashing blinker.

The idea of armed agents at polling places always reminds me of this photo of an elderly woman voting in the presence of an armed and masked soldier during the March 2024 Russian presidential elections.

My apologies. I will delete my comments.
For my part, I have great respect for ER/ED staff; as a patient, the child of aging parents in our care, and the father of an ER doc. The skill to deal w/ patients, who are at best having a bad day and at worst dying in your hands, make ER personnel unique.

Meme with the text “THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS IT IS TODAY HAS BECOME A DOMESTIC TERROR ORGANIZATION MASQUERADING AS A SANE, RATIONAL POLITICAL PARTY. DEMOCRATS HAVE LITERALLY GONE INSANE.”

A conservative friend posted this as a dig at Democrats, but it feels like a self-own. Especially because of the phrase “…MASQUERADING AS A SANE, RATIONAL POLITICAL PARTY.”
