Another thought - I find it hard to believe the Chinese are actually going to admit this, but the west might be sitting on proof it came from their lab and threatened to release this proof if China doesn’t, because of China’s recent worldwide propaganda effort to blame the west for the virus as a “bioweapon attack” on the Chinese.
We’re all adults here on MOG, with full commitment, strong faith and a good knowledge of the Teachings of Christ and His Church. We need to know our enemy and not act cowled by or fearful of an important column like this, and engage in serious adult spiritual warfare.
We are going to have to agree to disagree on this subject. Thank you for your opinion. Some people take the First Commandment seriously and do not wish to expose ourselves to astrology or the occult. At all. For any reason. That article about paganism was not about knowing our enemy unless you want to explore paganism. Sorry. Not buying it. We are supposed to avoid the occult like the plague pun intended Btw I am not cowed by it or fearful of it unless you might say afraid of SIN all dressed up and presented in a way that we need to know this.
I am not sure that the following has been discussed on this thread yet but it appears to be a pretty big deal imo. I came across this today when I was on the website of my son's university which has a campus in Bejing. Per the university's website they have not announced a date for the beginning of it's Spring semester in Bejing which was supposed to begin on 2/24 but is up in the air right now. China postpones school semester amid novel coronavirus outbreak Source: Xinhua| 2020-01-28 10:45:52|Editor: Lu Hui | http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-01/28/c_138738646.htm BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- China's Ministry of Education (MOE) announced that the 2020 spring semester for schools will be postponed due to the novel coronavirus outbreak. The MOE did not give the exact opening dates of the new semester for colleges and universities under the ministry but indicated that the decisions should be made depending on their localities, according to a circular released by the ministry late Monday. The MOE suggested that colleges and universities under the central government's other ministries or departments also postpone school semester accordingly. The new semester opening dates for universities and colleges under local authorities' administration, middle and primary schools, as well as kindergartens, should be decided by local education authorities. The ministry warned that students who had left campuses for the Spring Festival holiday should not return without approval before the new semester. All schools should guide students to stay at home, avoid gatherings and mass activities during the winter break, the ministry said, asking schools to keep those students who stay on campus away from infections. The ministry also urged schools to draw up epidemic prevention and control plans and overhaul campuses to prepare for the new semester. In China, most schools have two breaks in a year. The winter break, roughly one month, usually comes around the time of the Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar New Year, allowing students to return home for this most important festival for the Chinese. To control the novel coronavirus outbreak, the Chinese government had extended the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, scheduled to end on Jan. 30, to Feb. 2.
I think it is a very worth while read but I do understand the concerns about the occult aspect of it. Although, how is one to recognize what is false unless we see it for what it is, in these days it is permeating everything. It is constantly the plot of movies and TV let alone all the programming on Netflix and Amazon Prime is rife with this sort of thing. I take the opposite approach and I believe we should know our enemy unless our faith is weak and easily influenced. The Chinese people who were raised with Buddhism before the cultural revolution are bound to fall back into their families traditional beliefs with the magnitude of this scourge and that is what it is regardless of its origination because they will believe that it is a punishment sent on them for abandoning their gods. Communism has no answer for times such as these except to oppress and destroy. I hold that what the Christian people of China will do during this time will be exactly as has been done before. They will be proven and will have love and mercy for all China's afflicted people just as the article goes on to state. Neither the demonic entities of Buddhism or communist oppression will win the day as the people witness the power and peace that Christ brings in the midst of calamity and strife. There will be death but how many conversions and baptisms will take place? How much will the name of Christ and His followers be held up for all to see.
I believe HH is correct. Dangerous waters to mix facts with the occult, thus creating much confusion. Satan's strategy is all about confusion. A pandemic such as this could be the perfect time to plant the seeds of a false religion. It has become an exhausting task to sift through all of the information that is out tbere.
I don't think that any of us will avoid being confronted by it. Christ said when he returns it will be as in Noah's day. When the entire word was enveloped in occult practices and excess. The church teaches much about occultism. Men such as Fr Ripperger for example and many priests who bless objects, foods, and homes etc speak in quite a bit of detail about the occult. No one in that article is advocating for the occult. If anything it was a warning of what is given rise to in times of crisis especially in lands such as the far east. The article merely gave a great example of this and went on to speak about the great graces of Christians practicing the beatitudes in the midst of such things and being praised by all for their peace and faith.
Don, I felt very bad when the post turned to astrology and the "year of the" stuff. It affected me, and I spoke out about it. Yes, the occult is all around us, and it is a challenge every day to keep away from it. That's all. It was not at all an edifying or informative post for me, and I don't know who else who might be reading it. I love Fr. Ripperger because his deliverance prayer book has been a lifesaver for me. I felt as though the occult oppression was there on that link that Brian posted. The Church teaches us not to read it! I did very much enjoy the War Room video.
Yes. There is important information here to know and most of us are firm in faith and seasoned in spiritual warfare. I think what worries HH is those who come to this site who dont understand the dangers. I am glad to know of the threat of interruption in supply lines. I think all of us should prepare. I am doing so since it first came on the news. I get a bit of a weird look from friends and family. it's like the boy who cried wolf with all the previous scares that came to nothing. They dont believe this is different. But I do! Ive researched it but I've also prayed about it. I have a very strong sense of the seriousness of it. Sister Sasagawa told us in October and it seems an unleashing took place. I believe there will be other plagues. Already locusts are heading for China's grain fields. Then floods. Fires in Australia and hail! That seems very biblical. I also fear the world economies will falter. Sigh. Sorry to sound the doom and gloom. As Fatima says in another post we should rejoice. The Reign of the Immaculate Heart is coming.
It’s hard to unsee and unlearn questionable material when we are exposed to it, at least for me. I definitely see that there is an interruption in supply lines. I’m still praying that this plague will go away and not come back. We have to be ready to accept what happens, regardless.
Yes I am trying to weigh some of this regarding health because I require syringes for injections that diabetics also use. I don't want to hoard things that others in need use as well so I am also trying to read up on if there are ways to reuse some of these things in times of emergency. I think as many have warned our supply of generic drugs is going to become constrained and this may become a real problem for people on fixed incomes with name brand drugs being so incredibly expensive. Maybe our Doctors would be willing to at least prescribe a few weeks extra supply due to it if we inquire about it.
You know, I take a lot of flack for posting from UNZ, but at least they don't peddle fear porn like these CIA-MI6 tabloids (Star, Metro, Express, Daily Fail, Zero Hedge etc.), which seem to have such a following here on this forum. Why are these Deep Fake tabloids even allowed on this forum? It's bad enough they push constant fear porn, but they also daily include pictures on their side tabs which often feature soft-porn images of half-naked and sometimes even nude women.
I work for a leading Pharma manufacture. Once things get "worse" they are done! Critical hard to get supplies are essential and key manufacturing equipment, such as Lyo's, autoclaves, fermenters, incubators, low temp freezers etc.. need lots of service and parts. No parts available, no business. It will happen one day and I believe that day is sooner rather than later. Here is what will crumble our world economies: Natural disasters & war will collapse the world economies. At that point every structure collapses to the point of what Cardinal (Pope) Ratzinger's 1969 prophecy at Fulda foretold. Forget the syringes, and man made medicines at that time. They won't be there. Everything will be dependent on God's mercy and even that will end after the Warning for those who reject it. Scripture, the prophets and holy people of God have laid it all out. Everyone will come to know this at some point, but for now, few pay heed. It will be to late later. The mother of God has provided all the medicines from nature that will provide healing and ward off deadly plagues. Few will listen to her as well. All part of the purification that is in play as we speak. Few will be prepared spiritually and physically to endure to the end.
RE: those "tabloids" mentioned above.... No more than some of the other discussions of other "particular individual takes" on the same that have been offered by the various participants on this forum....just as much sharing of misinformation since it's certainly a guessing game. Throughout history in its various frightening world events the same occurs whenever this particular source is used for the prior answers for what can't be controlled at the moment. Rather, it's better to just "watch and pray". In the meantime it might be more compassionate to pray for those who currently are suffering in real time the decimation of their personal holdings since for them at least it does seem like the fulfillment of Revelation! It arrives individually at times or seems so. People here can figure it out!
What fear porn? Possible shortages and disruptions? Doctors are saying that on major news outlets. Are you saying this virus is fear porn? I honestly want to know. And I would appreciate knowing how you came to this conclusion. I dont read those sites you have listed. With the exception of zero hedge. I have read articles there sometimes.
Yes, that's exactly what I am saying: the Western MSM/Deep Fake news coverage of this virus is 24/7 fear porn. The "doctors on major news outlets" like CNN's Sanjay Gupta are also "saying" that this virus does not have a racial target, a clear lie given a fact that is plain as day: the Coronavirus is only killing those of Chinese genetic stock in any significant numbers. Of course, I would expect gatekeepers like the "respected" Dr. Gupta to be bold in their lies given the decade-long track record of the Western MSM as a propaganda outlet for the Neocon warmongers. Unless you are of Chinese genetic stock, you really have nothing to worry about as far as this virus is concerned.
Good. I'm more concerned about the soft-porn they push on those tabloids than the 24/7 doom and gloom they peddle (for a while it seemed every week an asteroid was coming to hit us). A Catholic might be visiting Motheofgod and click on those links not knowing that they contain occasions of sin involving the 6th Commandment. Now, some of us older folks might not be affected much by those kinds of images anymore, but for someone who may be struggling in that area, it could be a problem. I understand that suggestive ads are commonplace on the interent these days, but rags like the Express, Daily Star, Dail Mail, Metro, etc. make it a point to degrade women and peddle semi-porn.
