If God were as petulant as many on FR suggest, the entire United States would look like rural Nevada by now. ;)

Yep, that Rapture is imminent

LOL

BTW, Kata and Karon are in perfect shape, Rawai is still kinda screwed up, longtails still broken up in the trees, the ultra fancy stuff is ok, and there is still some damage near the airport.

Patong took the brunt.

Me: Itu boleh tak?

Indonesia - Ada bayak orang puteh nak telephone - gila

They complaing the white people are going more crazy that the locals.

Talked to anyone in or near Sibolga or anyone that has?

[stlnative]

Please take the Terri stuff to a Terri thread. This is a quake thread that has nothing to do with what is going on in Florida.

Thanks for the ping....since I hardly ever watch news anymore.

Yikes, this was a big quake! Energy thankfully will be directed more southerly.

[swordfish71]

are you in KL?

I'm going there with some horses next month--then go to Singapore.

What is on Cocos Island?

How hard is it to figure out what someone screaming "Quick! Head for the hills!" means?

If one is from the UN, VERY hard.

Is it safe?

[ruiner]

amen.

I saw a thread about gas prices and someone managed to throw in there, "Gas prices are high, but we're still more worried about Terri." or something like that.

Roger that CS ~ some of these cats are really living in fantasy land ~ poor devils. *sigh*

[jrestrepo]

Is it the US's fault yet?

An Easter-time aftershock after a Christmas day earthquake. Very strange, indeed.

Not strange at all! I went through the '89 Loma Prieta quake in centeral CA; aftershocks went on for years.

That date line would only get you a little extra snooze time. The date line you desperately need to find is the one that leads to a cuddly little helper that will share the load.

Are you listening, Lady Freepers?

Just keep subtily mentioning your availability in each post, and I'll bet your Freep mail will soon runnith over.

How are you even finding time to post, during easter break anyway?

That's about all ol' match maker Mitch can do for you right now-good luck.

I'm unaware of any scriptures relating to those three items in the way you speak of them. Jesus did not tell us that the number of earthquakes would increase. He never spoke of volcanic activity. He also never spoke of increased war activity.

Scripture does, however, speak of last days scoffers.....
