Families planning trips to one of Disney’s theme parks can now get waterproof rubber wristbands embedded with computer chips in lieu of paper tickets. When scanned, the bands can act as a park entry ticket, a FastPass, a hotel room key and a credit card. The “Magic Bands” — which are currently optional — are part of a new MyMagic+ “vacation management system” that can track guests as they move throughout the park.

I grew up in British Columbia and was attending church since I was a baby, including Sunday School, Youth Group, Etc. All my friends did too, thought that was normal.

I learned about this stuff a long time ago.

By the 1970 the catechism they taught in Toronto schools was all the warm & fuzzy stuff in the early grades. They didn’t do fire & brimstone until high school.

One thing I learned is that the teen years are not a good time to introduce Revelation. To the uninitiated it comes off as a bizarre acid trip; it would be more effective to start easing into it in the earlier grades instead of throwing the whole thing at us at once.

I had heard all that stuff in sermons long before I was a teeenager. I even remember the movie left behind or some such, was scary as heck. It was filmed in the 70s, but it showed friends turning on friends, the guillotine all the good stuff.
