This terrorism thing is key right now too. Many thought, me included, that probably the rapture would be the big event that would bring the nations together for a common goal. 9-ll could actually be it. Also, I knew that Islam would rise up to be a huge threat. So, there you are. The Bible says the birth pangs will be wars and rumors of wars.... things will escalate. I doubt we will ever know true peace again until Jesus comes back at Armageddon. -- There will be a rapture of the Body of Christ, but the timing is not clear in scripture. I do believe it is before the antichrist can be revealed due to the restraining power of the Holy Spirit on earth in the true Christians. We are living in the last of the end times. Look up~

5b - The coming one-world religion We are definitely seeing this as at so many events many religions are coming together in unity in order to strive for peace. Now, you will feel good about that if you believe that there are many paths to God. (I don't!)

You are totally correct. ---- I shudder to think what will happen to the U.S. if we turn our backs on Israel to appease the Arabs. We will be down for the count. I have a strong sense that ... the countdown has started.

I know how you feel. There are many things we participated in when younger, such as Halloween, that we now feel is inappropriate for Christian famillies. Certainly, education is the key to understanding Halloween and witchcraft, no matter how innocently portrayed. This is a tough one, but I believe it is Witchcraft no matter how you slice it. Kids are all over the place seeking now to understand how to cast spells, etc I noticed that PBS is running a documentary type, hour long show, about Harry Potter. It is very interesting. There is so much of the occult in England, and this is where the writer got her inspirataion for the books. God admonished me one time when I picked up a movie to rent that the subject matter was the occult (neat little story, however). He sternly said to me, "You are dabling!" --- Yeah, this is dangerous.

Well, I hate the fact he is on Fox. Also, you can tell that the Fox Regulars hate it too. On Fox and Friends it was really obvious. Plus, I don't think Geraldo is comfortable with his new home. He is a man without a country. Surely there is a Lib out there that would appreciate his style. I hope Fox wises up and gives him the boot.

So, what do you think that sign means... fish,GoVeg? This really bothers me for some reason. Got any ideas?

This topic reminded me of a sign on the back of a car I saw yesterday. This is probably a stupid question, but hey . . love this anonymity . . . it was a fish (normally associated with Christianity) but inside it said (Go Veg). Does that mean the person does not want us to eat fish, the food, or does it mean something else . . sexual?

Good point. I hate Halloween. it is the devil's high holy night. /

"We are the World" crowd . . . . Amen to that. Dan Rather is already whining about not killing the innocents, etc. The problem is that most of this country learns from the knee of Dan Rather, Katie Couric, and CNN. --- God help us! Do we have the guts to do the hard thing to save ourselves from destruction? That remains to be seen because I see this country being too fat, too lazy, and too weak to do what is necessary. I hope and pray we will rise to the occasion and do whatever is necessary to erradicate this scourge!

A couple of months ago, I took a job at a Psychiatric Hospital for adolescents. I work in med. records as a transcriptionist. --- I type up all these documents that go into the charts concerning the patients. Now, so that you understand, I have studied spiritual warfare a long time, along with Biblical Prophecy. ---- I am sure that you cannot make a blanket statement about these children being possessed and I am not going there. However, when children constantly complain that they are hearing and seeing auditory and visual hallucinations of a command nature telling them to kill others and themselves, you have got to look at this with spiritual eyes. I am telling you that these kids, for the most part, are oppressed by demons. OK, laugh if you like, but sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Plus, God has impressed me with the true condition of these children. So, I pray for them. Perhaps that it why He sent me there. What do the Doctors do? They counsel and give them drugs. Of course, that is all they know to do. (I definitely keep my mouth shut on all of this, but I believe - for the most part - these manifestations of hatred and violence stem from the Adversary!)
