Boy, I Corinthians 10:31 @ 5Doves watcher is spot on :good: Thinking the same thing yesterday as I was shopping in the bigger city ... only went to Dollar General (they had toilet paper!) and the Dollar Store (they have flower/veggie seeds they allow you to purchase) and then Super Walmart and they now blocked off half their store because the governor proclaimed they can’t sell (non essential) items to people. So off limit are things like clothing, shoes, house goods - kitchen/bedding, paint, auto dept, books, CD’s, computer stuff, sporting goods/toy dept, planting dept (can’t even buy a package of seeds), aisles like makeup are blocked off ... hey, that is an essential item for most women. :mdrmdr: But yet they are trying to sell left over Easter baskets, plastic eggs, Easter decorating stuff at half price ... those are essential items, eh but not clothing or shoes, etc. 😉 Their lovely signs for off limit items say “you can order these on-line”. The whole thing is a joke. And I’m watching all these people walking around in fear with their masks and gloves on and some giving me dirty looks since I’m NOT wearing a mask. I was thinking how ridiculous they all looked and acting and I’m sure the elite are just laughing at the masses ... and sure enough this watcher @ 5 Doves is saying the same thing! B-) Let’s face it!!! Life as we knew it – it’s OVER!! O V E R!!!!! By I Corinthians 10:31 @ 5 Doves Example: just a scant month ago, give or take a week or so, if you would’ve dared to walk into a restaurant or grocery store wearing a mask … can you just imagine??!!! The security guard would have followed you up & down every aisle & most likely asked you to either remove the mask or evicted you from the premises! Called the cops on you!! Captured your picture on camera & pinned it for every employee. Very possible you would have been handcuffed by officers…. For simply not complying by removing your mask. Now?? If you dare walk into a restaurant (for take out only) ~ or ~ into any type of store without wearing a mask – the security guards keep a keen eye on you!! Oh my…. gasp!!! Are you possibly a terrorist trying to spread your sick germs?? I’ve gotta’ think globalists are laughing!! As we “peons” adjust to the new normal! Another example: (and this one hits close to home!) when I’m out shopping (most generally by myself as Husband is like a kid in a candy store! Ha! Literally – and I lose him to the candy aisle…. Or when shopping with anyone else, they bring on too many distractions….) so I’m shopping by myself & although I habitually, cheerfully greet the clerks, yet while doing my actual shopping I’m the type who does my utmost best to stay out of people’s way!! I mean I go out of my way to stay out of people’s way!! And hope they’ll give me some room, too & stay out of my way (this was way long before you even heard the term: social distancing!!!) At any rate, the other day at the grocery store, there I was in the frozen foods section trying to make a choice….. minding my own business!!!!!! It wasn’t that I intently disregarded the stupid “arrows” they have taped on the floor (you know: you’re supposed to go up & down this way & not that way!! Soooo incredibly stupid!! Like that is going to stop the spread of germs!! Uh!! Memo to the Insane people who run the world or grocery store, don’t you realize you still get less than 6 feet from each other even while all travel the same direction???!!!!) ….At any rate: I wasn’t intently disregarding them, it’s just that the arrows were not marked in bright colors & I simply did not see them. So there I am trying to decide between Brussel sprouts or something else….. and this very chunky older lady comes barreling down the aisle like she owned it. Stands there close to my spot & ahems!!!!!! Loudly (for my benefit! Ha!) clears her throat several times!! That’s not enough – nope, then here comes her super duper hunky-chunky husband who also stands there doing the same thing!!! Me, I’m in “my zone” still trying to make a frozen food selection! While these 2 nut cases are standing there “aheming” loudly!!!!! Probably the same people who host buffets for their Sunday School group – down at the First Laodecian Church the second Sunday of every month!!!! Now, they’re out to “teach the old lady” (me) a lesson!!!! They think by strutting down the aisle (which remember: they own!! Or at least act like they do) and standing there clearing their throats that that’s going to teach me?? I tell you though, it’s a wonder that they didn’t actually spit on me!!!!!! These super high & mighty pious types with their halos on so tight they squeeze their brains!!!!!! Had they politely pointed out to me, “Dear! Do you see those arrows on the floor there?” And been kind & gentle about it – then I would have sure enough looked, and realized I had my (gasp!!!) shopping cart pointed in the wrong direction!!! Turned it around to appease them. Grabbed my Brussel sprouts & been on my way!!! But noooooooo!!!!!! Everybody has to tell everybody else how to live!!!!!! And what with listening to a month’s worth of constant hype & hysteria – don’t think this hasn’t changed people!!!!! It’s not the virus – that’s changed people, it’s the hype, hysteria & fear mongering!!!!!!! Other than a few quick trips out (I like to choose my own produce…. “picky” that way)….. I think I’ll now resort to online ordering. Fact is, it’s just not enjoyable having to deal with people any more!! The world as a whole has changed. You cannot count on running into good, friendly folks. Life as we know it…. rather, life as we knew it….. face it, is over!!!!!!! These super pious types who think they are right about everything – will likely lead the upcoming revolution (coming soon to a neighborhood near you!!) Remember: it was the super zealous religious folks who crucified Jesus!!!!!!! - Fair Use - Geri, I’m very thankful I followed God directing me to get everything for our family garden early. I kept plants and seeds going in the house for 6 weeks, taking them out to “harden them” and had everything to build this garden for us and others. I also had direction to purchase meat early to freeze. It is always amazing God’s provision and direction. The garden is going strong, as they have closed up everything. People who have very little of worth to live for always seem to become self appointed keepers of the law. Whether for the rules of the road, social distancing or self appointed cops! Rules become their religion. They just don't know how to play well in the sandbox! And on a moment's notice will tattle on anyone who violates their self perceived and self appointed authority! Like Christian's who ratted out Jews! TR In agreement with you both! :good: You were wise Tammie to start your garden earlier! :yes: And this pandemic is certainly being used to crash the economy for the One World currency. And T.R. spot on about some people self-appointing themselves as the police cops to tattle on others. I can’t help but think of these passages describing the tribulation life ... people will be turning in their own immediate family/blood relatives and friends. I can see the AC and his helpers encouraging the left behind to do so and perhaps even offering them reward money, etc. Matthew 10:17-22 Luke 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. Sadly this condition is a real part of the human experience! Which I greatly detest! Just one of many human failings that has caused me to ask, what does the Lord see in us anyway!? TR
Dr. Ben Israel (not a believer), posted a news article on how this Pandemic is a curiously false event to tumble economies. We will see just a bit more and then I seriously believe we are out of here. :prayer-hands:
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
