the<00:30:05.970><c> thing</c><00:30:06.170><c> is</c><00:30:06.410><c> that</c><00:30:06.549><c> you</c><00:30:06.670><c> get</c><00:30:06.849><c> older,</c><00:30:07.210><c> you</c><00:30:07.390><c> forget</c><00:30:07.730><c> more.</c><00:30:09.150><c> So</c>

00:30:09.509 --> 00:30:11.849
you've<00:30:09.890><c> got</c><00:30:09.910><c> to</c><00:30:10.029><c> do</c><00:30:10.210><c> it</c><00:30:10.609><c> more</c><00:30:10.829><c> rigorously</c><00:30:11.369><c> just</c><00:30:11.630><c> to</c>

keep<00:30:12.049><c> up</c><00:30:12.190><c> with</c><00:30:12.410><c> the</c><00:30:12.549><c> fact</c><00:30:12.710><c> that</c><00:30:12.910><c> the</c><00:30:13.130><c> brain</c><00:30:13.390><c> is</c><00:30:13.650><c> dying</c><00:30:13.990><c> on</c><00:30:14.309><c> you.</c>

00:30:15.769 --> 00:30:17.990

00:30:30.250 --> 00:30:35.509
Now,<00:30:30.609><c> remember,</c><00:30:31.049><c> this</c><00:30:31.190><c> is</c><00:30:31.390><c> not</c><00:30:31.789><c> something</c><00:30:32.089><c> that</c><00:30:32.329><c> Christadelphians</c><00:30:33.049><c> had</c><00:30:33.230><c> just</c><00:30:33.450><c> set</c><00:30:33.630><c> up.</c><00:30:34.809><c> Way</c><00:30:35.069><c> back</c><00:30:35.369><c> in</c>

00:30:43.750 --> 00:30:49.170
