Agreed.
Thank you. Too bad we couldn't get Banko to the factory in time.
Anna, do you think Hugh is a RINO?
Leni, yesterday there were claims that the media were being asked not to report on certain aspects, and were being kept out of certain areas.
I am sure I heard this. I may have heard it on one of the local streaming broadcasts. I will try to find it in print.
Sadly, a bunch of those voters are being sent here to Texas. The freakin Astrodome is going to wind up with a congressional district, due to gerrymandering.
Oh well, they have to live in Houston. Me, I would take my chances with the 'gators in New Orleans.
When you enter Black Helicopter territory, we have left reality far behind us...
You simply have no idea what you are talking about. I've had the police try to keep me quiet when kids screwing around shot my car. Seems they didn't like their phones ringing off the hook with reporters wanting to know about the "sniper" incident.
You should have seen their faces when I informed them my wife was a J-school student, and who do they think told the reporters in the first place.
You can be a drama queen about any subject of your choice but, after years of listening to Hewitt, last week was the last straw. As a political hack or wonk he is "connected" and tolerable.
Wander away from that and he's dumb-as-a-sack-of-rocks.
I was particularly offended at his faux horror at how others would deal with the enemy in a firefight. He is totally clueless, and needs to get along with one less listener. I suspect I am not alone.
So, no, I couldn't care less what Hewitt thinks of FR.
In a perfect world, that would have been good enough. But you aren't taking into account the disabled, ill and elderly. You aren't taking into account those that had no way to leave. Or the emergency personnel that stayed. You aren't factoring in an area that had no emergency plans and ineffectual officials.
You're not real...this is a gag, right? Gotta admit, you had me going there! Good one!
There are dozens of teams on the ground that have been working these operations in said counties listed in the original first post.
I can't believe I have to explain such elementary reasoning on FR of all places. He has seen the bodies coming in,he has seen them in trees,in cars, in homes,under rubble...washing in the water. OBVIOUSLY he is not the ONLY person working down there.
My God. They are using all means whether they be trucks or wagons or boats.
"...and 125-1400MPH winds." With Mach 2 winds, it is a miracle there are ANY survivors.
Suffering is an interesting and somewhat complex topic.
But the basic essentials are simple.
Job was blessed in abundance afterwards.
Scripture declares that the sufferings of this life AT THEIR WORST are NOT WORTHY to be compared to the glories of eternity with God.
"Or is the possible the media have been asked to refrain from showing pictures for the moment while the situation is still so sensitive?"
.
Well.. we did see all the thousands of bodies at the WTC.. oh wait.. we didnt.
Afterthe Red Cross fiasco of 9/11 I now give to my local religious denomonation.
Our denomination has the equipment to make 20k meals a day and the workers are all retired volunteers. All we have to pay for is the meals and gas to get them down there. They are already there and we have trucks making trips to and from here sending food and supplies/water to keep the kitchen cooking.
I would check for the same in your area but I just don't trust the Red Cross.
RB<><
LOL
I know a little bit about Camille and they did find bodies and families in trees, tied to bridges, and one preacher and his entire family in the steeple of his church.
I am sure this is stretched some and I hope it is stretched a lot. But when you go into an area of complete chaos and you see about 100 dead or so in a small area. You are impressed with what you see.
"It's going to be much higher than anything we've ever seen," said Jim Pollard, spokesperson for the Harrison County Emergency Management Agency."
Please tell me how that equates to "thousands"?
More than they've ever seen could be 300.
"I suggest you read my post 1347."
I've read them...doesn't change my mind.
People are pole vaulting to conclusions that the facts don't support.
And "who" might those "some" who have asserted that be, now, huh?
Or: Martin " Reflexology, Numerology, Urine Therapy, and Did Adam and Eve Have Navels?" Gardner?
Could it be: Allan "ink blot test, and numerology" Glenn?
Is it: Eric"Jesus and occult numerology" Hilderman?
Or how about this certified nutcase Alvin "typological numerology" Kuhn and his 666 in Hebrew numerology?
. Or is it: Ben"The Gospel Code"Witherington"?
Or how about this End Times/Numerology/killer comet junkie?
Or how about: Jeffrey Cracking The Bible Code can indeed predict the future" Satinover?
Could it be: Frank "numerology"Zindler and his "Real Bible"?
Is it: Abelard "real fruity numerology- Julius Caesar was an.. " Reuchlin?
Could it be: Dan Brown (writer of that great work of fiction, The DaVinci Code)?
Who?
Do you still have your Y2K supplies? Where is that gad-fly grifter, Gary North, by the way? You can't have a real doomsday without him preaching the end of the world as we know it and peddling his "only means of salvation" products.
Thanks much.
One begins to see more and more of the mentality Scripture talks about in the end times
after allllll of God's dramatic object lessons
some will still "curse God and die."
