I hesitate to write this because I don't want to come off as paranoid. But I figured its worth it to share info just in case there really is something in the planning stages.
Especially after the church masacre last week in Baghdad, I believe that it is highly possible that a similar attack could take place in the US.
Tonight 4 middle-eastern men were seen down our childrens' wing at our church. They were walking briskly and talking in Arabic.
A woman spotted them at the other end of the hall. She tried to catch up to them but they exited into the lobby and by the time she got to it they had disappeared. A few people looked but no one saw them leave the building.
There was no reason for anyone to be down that hallway. There were no children's programs going. It's possible that they could have taken a wrong turn. But it just doesn't feel right.
This is the 3rd incident since last March involving young middle-eastern men. The first one involved them asking odd questions about the size of our services, questions about the children's area, even requesting a layout of the building.
The FBI has been alerted and its been discovered that at least one other church in the area has had a similar incident take place.
I'm writing this here because I think there are alot of FReepers who attend church. I would ask you to inquire whether anything unusual has happened in recent months in your church. Especially if you are a large church. And especially if you are located in the Detroit area.
We must be willing to think about these things (not obsess over them) but reasonably consider the possibility. Thank you.
I hate the idea of having to get a license. Makes it easy to find those that have guns if the gov’t so chooses..
ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
Most all of the moozzi’s packed up and left NW Louisiana
about a year ago,,,
The sheriff and others had been watching them,,,
That's how they knew that they were gone,,,
All their shops/etc. in the mall/etc. were shut down at
time of year where they would make money,,,
The SO searched the plate numbers and got no hits as to
where they all went,,,
They had to have gotten new plates for their cars wherever
they went to,,,DL’s too,,,
The SO started Operation Exodus with 100 new deputies made
up of mostly old war vets,,,
Ordered up an APC with a .50cal on it,,,
Keep your powder dry my FRiend,,,
Ill wind a`blowin’...
Could be scoping out for a terrorist attack...
or could be a deliberately provocative event to provide an occasion for Muslims to call Christians nuts when they publicly squirm about this odd looking event.
Lookingglass random number cohesion is nominal (about a 5 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being exceptionally high cohesion, 1 being exceptionally low).
Interesting things going on now:
1)Nuclear Terror drill (Nuclear Terror ping)
2) Solar flare (Space Energy/Weirdness ping)
3) Wells Fargo, Chase, BOA banks systems down (Economic Holocaust-lite ping)
There are unconfirmed reports of Sprint phone service being down in Florida, and Walmart in Florida being unable to perform debit card transactions.
END TIMES LIST PING TO REFERENT POST BY TC UPDATING THE WEBBOT STUFF.
WOW.
THanks thanks.
The assaults on this important UFO thread have been incredibly stupid from the usual Rabid Clique RC types.

It’s like the clueless have suddenly gotten extremely more clueless AND greatly more rabid without any sufficient explanation. Is it in the air or the water or both?
Yes. Immediately. And I believe that it wouldn't be overreacting for any and all other churches to do the same until very specific watch and anti-terrorist safety and security plans are firmly in place. Move the kids NOW, and give them a good made-up reason for the. temporary move...so not to scare them. Don't allow any naysayers to override you. Hold firm.
DECLARE THE BLOOD OF JESUS AS YOU'RE DOING THIS, OVER EACH ENTRY AND THE ENTIRE BUILDING: THIS IS THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST, AND THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT!!!! If they won't do it, do it yourself!
We attend a large church in Pasadena. I feel much the same......sigh.
what does that mean ? details please.
CCW = license for Concealed Carry of a Weapon (handgun)
"shall issue" = you MUST be issued a license if you are not disqualified by certain specified objective reasons, such as a felony record.
The head of the local church may authorize carrying in his church. Doing so may give him problems with his liability insurance company.
My thoughts also.
Back in the day it would have been a good idea. But, that was then and this is now.
Gathering intelligence for when their man in the WhiteHouse leaves power.
While they would like to strike now, with their man in the WhiteHouse, it would be counter productive.
These”plots “ tha are being “discovered” now? Setups to lull the sheep into a false security. Nothing more.
The Boy Scout motto: Be Prepared.
It has stood the test of time.
Yes, church leadership may authorize a CPL holder to carry in church. When I lived in Michigan, I asked our chruch elders who laughed and asked why I would even bother to ask. Of course I could.
Now, I live in a state that doesn’t recognize the Constitution. I often look forlornly at my now useless CPL.
Just a quick update. At this point we have not been able to come up with an explanation of who these men were or why they were there. Our security team is being briefed and will be on heightened alert today.
I appreciate your prayers for safety and wisdom.
Here’s where my concern lies:
1)this is the third suspicious occurence in the past 7 months at our church (plus at least one at another large church only a few miles away)
2)a recent warning was issued that “Mumbai-style” attacks are being planned at Western (including US) soft targets
3)the AQ video less then two weeks ago specifically instructs Jihadists to attack in the “miserable suburbs of London Paris and Detroit”.
4) the Baghdad church massacre last Sunday could be a foreshadow of future attacks that might be in the planning stages
5) we just passed the 1 year anniversary of the FBI shooting of a radical cleric in Dearborn, shot 21 times, once in the back. yet, there was no public outcry from his radical followers. I find that really odd.
6) our church is very active in missions, particularly witnessing to Muslims in Dearborn.
(there are a few other specifics related to this last point that I feel isn’t wise to post publicly)
Kind of ironic. Just yesterday I taught on Nehemiah and mentioned this passage: Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes. (4:14)
I think this is a timely passage for us.
