Well GOOD for her! And was she the ONLY one there? No one else could help?

I was a Rainbow Girl. My Grandfather was a Mason.

I haven't followed any of the Mason references that I've seen on these threads.

Can anyone elaborate?

I can't help but wonder what all that pigs blood was for that truck had an accident with in Germany. 9,000 gallons I think it was.

I said domestically, not internationally.

>>>While they have policy preferences as far as an American election outcome, I don't think they have individual preferences. They see the difference between Bush and Kerry as we see the difference between Zawahiri and Zarqawi. To them, we are all infidels.

Yes we are all infidels. But that is not true about the election outcome.

>>>>They *are* pulling for an antiwar movement to develop.

Agreed! Hence they don't want Bush reelected.

I read the screed at the site.

I don't know what to make of it other than satan's been busy as usual.

I do wonder if that's part of what some prophetic types asserted would, in essence, be a month or 3 of things going from bad to worse before God miraculously turned them around.

I certainly do NOT count W Bush out at all. I still think he will win BIG in Nov.

Agreed.

I certainly don't think they are going to avoid trying devastating attacks to get Kerry in office.

1) There are plenty of loose canons eager to cause devastating deaths regardless of whatever level of sophisticated awareness may be at the upper levels.

2) Even the Al Qaeda with enough smarts and awareness to realize some of the cultural implications and nuances to result from massive attacks prior to the election--I believe they STILL THINK THE DEATHS OF INFIDELS WOULD BE MORE THAN WORTH WHATEVER RISK ABOUT BUSH STAYING IN POWER.

imho.

1) Am curious. I made a guesstimate that a mere fraction of 1,000,000 Moslems are seriously intent on destruction of all infidels.

2) That another 5,000,000 to 25,000,000 would give the million in 1) SOME LEVEL OF financial, philosophical ascent, shelter, more or less active support.

You sound like you'd think those figures inflated. What would be your guesstimates?

In many respects I agree with you, however.

I do think God is going to solve the Moslem 'problem' by (A) converting masses of them to Christianity miraculously as many have already begun to demonstrate with visions and dreams of Jesus and (B) remove those hell bent on evil along with the rest of earthlings and whatever other creatures hell bent for evil from the face of the earth.

Now just when in the end times scenarios He will do such is certainly not within my knowledge or even wild haired guessing (with any predictable accuracy).

I was just curious if the judge releasing the Jihadi as not guilty recently was a Mason.

Most of my closer Masonic friends over my 57 years have BRAGGED to one degree or another of the Masonic judges they knew FIXING CASES INVOLVING MASONS.

I personally believe they are part and parcel of the puppet masters but am not interested in getting into the whole evil/innnocent Masons debate.

And, I can say as a long time student of astrology, you are absolutely correct to answer that way.

These charlatans should be ashamed of themselves, taking advantage of the gullible the way they do.

That said, I do believe that the workings of the solar system do point us to the language of God.

But, while we might be able to see his handiwork through a glass darkly by understanding the nature of the times we live in, we cannot know his plans for future events on earth.

All we can know is what is explained to us in Ecclesiastes, and therefore be prepared. Today, with transiting Saturn conjunct the US natal Sun, and with the transiting Moon squaring Saturn at about 1 PM eastern, it is a time for our nation to be mourning and suffering loss.

HOODED THAI ASSAILANTS SLASH SCHOOL GUARD

By Sutin Wannabovorn
The Associated Press
6/11/2004, 8:55 a.m. ET

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- Hooded assailants with assault rifles slashed the throat of a night guard outside a government school in Thailand's Muslim south and seized weapons from other security personnel who were inside, police said Friday.

The guard, Abdulnasae Katoolae, 42, was in serious condition after the attack Thursday night at the school in a rural part of Pattani province, police Lt. Col. Sophon Phansomtrong said.

The assailants were believed to be Muslim separatists who have been blamed for attacks in Pattani and two other southern provinces, Narathiwat and Yala. The provinces are the only Muslim-majority areas in predominantly Buddhist Thailand.

The volunteer guards, drawn from local villages, were supposed to be protecting the school from arson attacks, he said. Dozens of state schools have been set on fire in recent months by the insurgents, and the government has been arming volunteers to help provide security in remote villages.

At least 284 people have been killed in the violence since January, including 107 militants who were shot by security forces April 28.

Most of the other victims have been police, government officials, village leaders and teachers from the Buddhist community.

A separatist movement has simmered for decades in southern Thailand. It died down in the late 1980s following a government amnesty for the militants but resurfaced two years ago and became a serious problem this year after a raid on an army arsenal Jan. 4 that left four soldiers dead.

Thailand's minority Muslims complain of discrimination in jobs and education by the central government, and accuse it of cultural insensitivity.

Sophon said five or six men dressed in military fatigues, their faces covered with hoods, first cut the throat of the guard, a Muslim, outside the school, then barged into a room where five civil defense volunteers were watching television. The attackers tied them up and took away their three shotguns and a pistol, he said.

In the town of Pattani, gunmen in a pickup truck fired an assault rifle at police Sgt. Issamahae Lateh, 42, who was driving a car, causing him to lose control and hit an electrical pole. He suffered serious injuries, a police official said on condition of anonymity.

The official also said two teenagers on a motorcycle drove through a police checkpoint at high speed. While they were being chased by security forces, they dropped a bag that was found to contain two grenades and bomb-making material, he said.

In other attacks Wednesday night, three bombs exploded in Yala province but caused no damage or casualties, police said.

Thanks for your kind post and affirmation.

It appears that I might differ with you on beliefs along this line . . .

St Paul said that all Believers ought to seek to prophecy. I don't believe at all that he merely meant to forth tell the Gospel.

I believe there's a lot of nonsense as well as evil counterfeit in the broad prophetic field.

I also believe there are authentic Christian prophets today as well as other Christians who have various degrees of various sorts of prophetic 'giftings.' I believe most are still flawed as humans and not having been through a Moses 40 years on the back side of the desert being fiery furnace cleansed to improve their hearing and speaking more accurately.

I believe God The Father will clean both the process of hearing and speaking up as well as the prophetic individuals in coming months and years as He is determined to have a pure CURRENT VOICE in the affairs of The Church and the world in these end times closings of history as we have known it.

imho.

I heard about this for the first time on the radio this morning. I found an older article about it and a current website. This really doesn't sound too safe. The radio this morning said these dogs are being imported with rabis and other diseases.

Shelters import strays
Bringing dogs into U.S. called 'harebrained idea'
By Tom Vanden Brook

USA Today
Feb. 2, 2003

Marianna Massa wanted to help solve the problem of stray dogs in her "own little way."
So she adopted Peluso, a three-legged mutt.

She picked him out of a crowd at a Salem, Mass., shelter. But Peluso was no
neighborhood stray. The terrier mix had been shipped 1,700 miles from Puerto Rico
because Salem doesn't have enough strays to satisfy demand.

Peluso is part of a trend: Animal shelters in the United States are casting a wide net from
Puerto Rico to as far as Taiwan to fill kennels.

Critics say many shelters have solved the stray problem in their own areas, but rather than
shut down, they become "de facto" pet stores. Some charge more than $200 per adoption
for imported dogs.

"Nobody's been watching this because nobody would have imagined that a hare-brained
idea like this could ever get going," said Patti Strand, president of the National Animal
Interest Alliance, a group that represents breeders, pet shop owners and others interested
in animal welfare. "That's why there are no laws on the books."

In the past seven years, one organization in Puerto Rico has shipped more than 14,000
strays to the States for adoption. Shipments from other countries also appear to be
increasing. Most imports are small- to medium-size dogs popular among adopters.
Advocates of imports say their mission is to save street dogs, no matter where they are
found, and to assist U.S. citizens who want to help homeless dogs.

"We're sending more to the States because there's more demand for them," said Chantal
Robles, founder and president of the Save a Sato Foundation, based in Guaynabo, Puerto
Rico. "As soon as they get there, they get adopted." Sato (SAW-toe) is the term used in
Puerto Rico for a mixed-breed dog.

The drive to have dogs spayed and neutered in the United States has cut down on
unwanted litters. And adoption campaigns have helped empty dog pounds.
"It's a success story," said Gary Patronek, director of the Tufts University Center for
Animals and Public Policy.

But people who want to adopt dogs increasingly find aged dogs or undesirable breeds like
pit bulls at shelters, Patronek says.

That's where imports like Peluso come in.

He lost a leg after being run over by a car in Puerto Rico. Massa, 29, found him at
Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, which is one of the pioneers in importing satos.
Last year, the shelter received 390 strays from Puerto Rico, says Betty Bilton, the
assistant director. Bilton says the shelter's mission is to find homes for strays and whether
the dog is from downtown Salem or an ocean away is not important.

Strand says it's OK for shelters to take in strays from nearby locales if they encourage
spaying and neutering programs from donor areas. But she believes taking dogs from
overseas, where population-control programs are limited, perpetuates a problem.
"Bringing more dogs in from other countries and territories increases the total number of
dogs needing homes in the United States and increases disproportionately the number of
ones with temperament and health problems, the poorest risks for permanent placement,"
Strand said.
