The government shutdown was avoided. IT happened in 95 and 96 for awhile too. Gingrich and Clinton got into it with each other.


The only thing that might count on your list from my understanding is the Middle East issue. Depends on how that falls through though.

We have a division of the FBI here in the town I live in. Anytime anyone buys a gun, or the police book someone and take their fingerprints etc, or even pull them over for that matter it is run through this division of the FBI. (as well as many, many other things.) I think that noone took the threat seriously. But by wednesday there was sooooo much negative energy because people were afraid of the potential furlough, and being out of work for a couple of weeks.

People have been living thier lives with no real plan. LIving from day to day without concern as to how they are spending their money or their decisions. They just assume they will have this really great high paying government job waiting for them. I do hope it has been an eye opener for them on many levels. Not only to have a better set plan, but to appreciate what they do have.

I certainly hope that this causes people to *wake up* and appreciate what they have. No matter how little, or how much. I heard on the radio a statistic of how many blackberrys and iphones are paid for and the number was astronaumical! (something like 550,000) Each government employee of the White House, CIA, All divisions of the FBI, Marshalls offices, Secret Service, Pentagon, homeland security and the list goes on and on and on! This includes even the lowest level secretary. Why??? Since we have a division of the FBI here, I have many, many friends who work there and I do not understand their *need* to have a blackberry. They are unlimited data, talk and text. I have been with some of these friends when they use them for personal use. (and I am not sure if they are allowed to or not...maybe they are? *shrugs* )
All I am saying is there is a LOT of frivoulous spending in our government that can be eliminated sooooo easly! The blackberrys & iPhones are just one very small example.

I guess this is another one of those soap box isssues for me since I see it first hand on a regular basis, and I see how it is taken for granted and *abused*. (most the employees I know that have these phones have no need for them for work purposes AT ALL.)

Anyway...the assigned furllough has been put off for a week since they managed to cut aprox. 38 billion expenditures out of the costs of running the government. ( o_O) I guess we will see what they sort out in the next week.

I just can't believe they have been opperating without a budget for over 6 months when it should have been put into place with the new fiscal year on October 1st 2010. Such a shame things are so unorganized. :(

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, to the Republic for which it stands, ONE nation UNDER GOD, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. "

Most of the public schools still say that pledge and offer a moment of silence for those who believe to pray to God for the Bible says to pray for our leaders. There are many faults found in any country but the United States was founded on principles of the Bible and should stand united UNDER GOD with Truth, Liberty and Justice for all.

People need to wake up and repent of their sin of neglect and complacency.

Isaiah 30:10-11 (New King James Version)

10 Who say to the seers, “Do not see,”
And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things;
Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.
11 Get out of the way,
Turn aside from the path,
Cause the Holy One of Israel
To cease from before us.”


HE says "Feel my wrath, so that you might believe that prophets walk amongst you and warned you yet you did not repent. You have stolen the widows inheritance. You have added to the burdens of the oppressed. you have judged falsely. you have ignored the cries of the weak and weary. So I turn my face from you. See for a time a world without the grace of God."

Thats the problem with liberalism, and government handouts. they do not teach people to live and survive. Why do you have to survive when the government will bail you out?

The thing that scares me, and should us all is that the great roman empire fell because they were divided east/west/ We are divided left right. if we do not come together, we will fall as they did.

It's all part of the one world government they are planning. They know exactly what they are doing. One thing they know for sure is that Christians pose the most threat to them because we are loyal to God and won't submit to their ways. That's why communism heavily persecutes Christians. I'm afraid this country is heading towards that. A bit off topic I know but i felt like i needed to share that

This is very true.
The important part is to know who is the "THEY".
Then the "WHAT, WHY and even the WHEN" are clear.
It's in their own writings, ancient and new.

We should not pledge allegiance to the American Flag, but to God. And any nation under God would not conduct themselves the way this nation has. And any nation divided against itself is divisible. And there is no liberty to those who despise God and his Christ. Yes, we must pray for people, this is good, and for this nation. But our allegiance should never be to people or nations, but to God.

It has always been about control and regaining control and that always will be the why.

Some of the when is 1550.

The where is everywhere.

The how is the food we eat, the oil we use the water we drink the electricity we use as well as the so called fake money we use from our non government banking system not to mention the doctors that will take care of us all especially our retirement no one will be sick when they are old.

The two whos, I won't say but some of them have a mission to re-enslave the world no mater how long it takes. America escaped this but it is coming back. Watch and see if i'm right. Remember the golden rule: whoever has the gold makes the rules.

Antichrist seat of power seems to be in two locations I wonder if it might be talking about two groups.

(I kind of think of Psalms 2)

After writing this I get this sick feeling of why did I write this, all I will get pegged as is a conspiracy nut (which I am) and it won't help anyone, but the truth is still the truth. I myself would rather believe that everything I hear in the media is the truth and everyone is out to help me and do things for my good and we are fighting for freedom and the American way and not to line the pockets of whoever. I can't be that smart to have the ability to doublethink (see Newspeak Dictionary George Orwell's book "1984").

You are a prophet appointed to the gentiles.
You don't know these things?
putting words in my mouth and twisting things does not change the fact you did not answer.

I am a child of God looking for knowledge and wisdom who the Holy Spirit sometimes warns of the future and gives messages to give to people He loves. that is what a prophet is: someone who speaks to God on behalf of the world and for God to the world.

will you answer these questions or go back into the darkness?

thanks, i don't think you are a conspiracy nut but you have to be careful with your words and pray before speaking your thoughts. Make sure to have you armor of God fully in place. your helmet of salvation, shield of faith and sword of SPirit (which is the Bible) especially.

we are to obey ALL laws unless they pass a law that go against GOD's. like worshiping idols or hating your brethren Just pray to God about it if it comes down to a specific issue.
