TWK: Able's future

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Angels are by definition messengers of God, so it only
makes sense that Michael can travel wherever he needs
to do his duties. Able is special because he is human.
 According to Christian belief, we are God's special
children and this whole setup is for our benefit,
though we are unworthy of it. At least that's my
understanding. I'm not sure I buy that in the "real
world" but for the purpose of story that's the
situation. I think.
