I have a friend that mentioned in passing to his neighbor that he liked his new lawn mower and thought maybe he should upgrade.

He walked into his house, checked his emails. While browsing he started getting all sorts of ads on lawn mowers. He had never even thought about getting a new lawn mower until he had talked to his neighbor about it 30 minutes previously. No searches, etc. His phone was in his pocket.

Useful I guess, but that is a bit concerning to me when I think of OTHER stuff “they” might be listening to when I think I am having a private conversation.

Well, maybe it’s just another case of seeing on the road dozens of the car you just bought, when you had never noticed them before.

Did he have something like ‘Alexa’ or a security system he could access on his phone?

Or do you really think ‘They’ are listening to all of our conversations over our phones?

And there's the answer right there

And they want everyone on Earth to have one.

THIS is what Tribulation Saints will have to contend with.

Many will betray them because they refused the Mark of the Beast.

Yes, this WILL NOT happen tomorrow but we have to tell people TODAY.

Because the days WILL come when owning a Bible and preaching sound doctrine will be ILLEGAL. Shoot, we're almost there.

Even in the good old U.S.A.

I know that wasn’t your comment - it was just an FYI

I also wrote software that destroyed other software installed on your PC.

I had to do this because my users were screwing up their installations (monthly subscriptions) and some had multiple installations of the same software package and that wouldn’t function with only one set of Windows registry and .ini files.

Saved the Help Desk a lot of calls on problems they couldn’t solve.

And I did that almost 30 years ago.
