I try hard to behave (and it is hard often).. so really want to make sure we all know who you are addressing.

Yes...one must grovel properly. Signing off, going back to 100% Fox News where one can voice an opinion without having to worry about having ones cable shut off. Many thanks to Nautinurse....SHE did a fantastic job.

"Wouldn't surprise me."
And why is that? We can't possibly read 30-35 thousand posts per day.

You managed to read this one.

Whew...I thought the Admin Mod closed the thread because I posted the Red Beans and Rice recipe!

Wouldn't surprise me.

Submerged in a cess pool of Toxic Waste? JJJEEESSHH Geraldo!!

There are too many people here who seem to want the dome to turn into a Irwin Allen disater movie. It won't.

******

Yeah and not even God could sink the Titanic. There is not enough money in the world to put me in that thing....I'd be goin with the turtles and snakes first.

I get a little nervous when I hear that a gulf oil platform registered winds of 215 mph before the instrumentation failed, then read that the Superdome was designed for 200mph winds.

I hope that figure doesn't include the safety margin.

*****

I don't think to much about the winds hitting the dome and taking it down...its chunks of the surrounding buildings hitting the dome at those speeds...I don't think that was figured into the design. I think its a death trap. But then I would have been on the road and out of there by Friday. The death toll on this monster will leave us all speechless I fear.

"Hurricanes can easily be recorded by seismographs, and before the days of satellite images, seismographs were sometimes used to track the storms. Ocean waves generated by the hurricane cause the most shaking, but shaking trees and buildings also contribute to the seismic waves.

Thanks spycatcher!

That's not too far-fetched. I just saw something about hurricanes creating earth tremors on their own.

Do you remember where you read it at? I have looked and looked and can not find a thing, to back up what I am feeling. I emailed a friend in June that I felt like a huge hurricane would hit in the gulf at the base of the faultline and trigger something even worse. But can not reason in my own mind how a hurricane could move or shift land or if it does.

I have a question. What is the likely hood or is there even any of a storm of this magnitude slamming into land and effecting the New Madrid Fault? Will the flooding that is sure to come right up thru where the fault lies have any effect. The New Madrid has been showing recent signs of more activity. This hurricane scares me to death but I can not quit thinking about the fault line....!!! as if this monster of a storm is not bad enough.

Well Campion....I must admit, I am quite impressed with your inability and impotence to be able to stand and verbally disagree with a 5'4", 51 yr. old woman. I have been on FR since 2002 and not once have I run crying to a mod. nor have I ever been banned till now. The day I can't stand on my own two female feet and defend my beliefs, is the day I quit believing them.

Fair warning to all who are disagreeing with Campion, he is weak, he is yellow and when he is not winning he runs and cries. If he can't win, he will get you banned. We had a name for those kinds of kids in grade school when I was just a little girl.

TRUTH will hold its own....all else will see to the attempted extermination of it, by what ever means needed.
I would say I am more of a man than you ever thought of being. Now run and tattle, I am sure if you cry baby loud enough the mod will remove this post and me again.

How spineless and pathetic.

and the great whore is a great political religious system, Babylon the Great, whom truth be told, has already fallen
*****

True Edmund but note it says Babylon is fallen, is fallen.
She falls twice, she has fallen once.....Rev. 18 is her next fall, her last and final fall.

Your hatred is really ugly, you know. You don't know me from Adam. You've never even met me.
*****
Campion....sigh....why should I not hate that which is costing you your soul. You are right, I don't know you, and no I have never met you but I know what you are in. I KNOW what you are in. "There is a way that seems right unto man that leads to destruction."
I can go play around in the fluffy, no brainer threads if I wanted to, I don't have to do this. Time is short. "To whom much is given much is required." I understand to much to shut up.
What do I want for you? Freedom..salvation...a relationship with your Heavenly Father that requires you to go thru NO ONE. A knowing deep in your heart that you are one of the sons of God. That for you there is NO purgatory, you don't have to light candles, you don't have to say your rosary. YOU ARE FREE...Christ paid it all for you. ALL of it. I want you to have that Blessed Assurance.

There is no place for me to send you...I support no state tied religious organization. I can only send you straight to the Father....ONLY thru the Son...and YOU work out your salvation with trembling and fear. "Fear is the BEGINNING of wisdom." Its just the beginning.
GO LOOK FOR TRUTH!!! You trust your Heavenly Father to save you, yet you don't trust Him to teach you? What sense is that? Wipe your mind clear, go to your bible, pray, and let Him teach you. I hate this system that puts itself between God and those that would be saved. Hate it. It's deception....do you understand the word deception? "In the last days if it were possible the very elect of God will be deceived." Can you heed that straight from the bible scripture?

This is clearly a personal attack.
*****
This is what will get anyone who comes against your system brought up before a world court. Rev. 18:4 says..Come OUT of her my people. Obviously God does have people sitting within this system. So for the statement of being completely black and wicked is like me calling the Democratic party completely black and wicked. Can people change parties? Yes....Can people "Come out of her." yes..and some will. I defend NO denomination or system.
If I remember correctly I have seen you make plenty of flame comments about the Democratic party....what is the difference? Is it the belief system you dislike or the people. People I like...the systems that rule them and teach them...I hate.

Anyway, the Protestants gave as good as they got.
****
I never said the Harlot didn't have daughters. Scripture says she does. Religion kills, always has. People of Faith just try to get out of the way.

Perhaps you were thinking of Catholics crucified
*****
You'll crucify your own if you think it will gain you souls, after all you already have the souls of the ones within.
Wicked...completely totally black and wicked..all in the name of God.

Yeah, the pre-Civil War United States was a wondrous, God-fearing place. Anti-Catholic bigotry, anti-Indian bigotry, slavery, "No Irish Need Apply" signs ... is that really what you're holding up as your model of holiness and beauty?
*****
LOL....love the way the Jesuits set themselves up on opposite sides of the fence...one blackens one side, while the other whitens the other to drive men in the direction they would have them go.
I'm Irish and Indian....and I sure am not Roman Catholic.

May our Lord be honored in such.
****
Quix....our Lord is not coming as The Lamb of God this time.
He is coming as The Lion of Judah...those who preceed Him and hail His approach will not bleat like little lambs...they will roar!! The Kingdoms of this earth are about to become the Kingdoms of our Lord. The supper of the Lord is the flesh of the wicked being torn from the carcasses by the birds of the air.
The wicked are about to be removed, and it is not going to be a pretty sight. Man-kind can fluff it up all they want, doesn't matter. Judgement is at the door.

I greatly appreciate your good hearted kindnesses toward me. May our Lord be honored in such.
*****
I think you mean well....I don't handle everyone the same, or react the same. Depends on what I am seeing...rebellion, deception or just not knowing. Some just don't know, others just don't want to know, and others will kill to keep what they do think they know.

tolerance. 10 years ago the UN laid out its declaration of "tolerance".
****

The end of days has been coming for a long..long time. The Mystery of Iniquity isn't something that just drops on peoples head all of a sudden.
I am not preaching much differently than protestants of old did, and they were burned at the stake, crucified with their entire families by the RCC...this is nothing NEW.
Now God's people just shrug their shoulders and act like the very blood shed by these saints to give them their freedom to worship is worthless!! Absolutely worthless.

THINK you know I'm pretty fiesty against error and in behalf of TRUTH, too.

Probably no longer feel as called as you do to your level of . . . pointedness in all contexts.

But I am learning to pick my fights better--hopefully more in tune with Holy Spirit's leading.

We still wrestle not against flesh and blood but against . .

****

AWWW yes...but he also said His word would not return void.
