    Woolworth: No Christmas Merchandise Stocked, ‘We’re a Muslim Business Now’
    By Jews Newsaccess_time4 days agochat_bubble_outline2 Comments


    Chancellor Merkel, with her idiotic open immigration policy, is on the way to destroying her own country. No wonder there are ugly protests, portraying the nation’s leader in distinctly uncharitable ways. She deserves all the derision that is being piled on her.

    Here’s an example of what her policies have wrought. It is an example that other western nations should heed.

    Dortmund, Germany, residents were shocked to see the Woolworths branch’s Yuletide selection, which included gifts, tree decorations, and chocolate Santas, was removed after just a few days on display.

    One shopper reported that the entire Christmas range was on display on Friday, but had disappeared when she visited the next day. The Dortmund resident said when she arrived at Woolworths on Saturday she was greeted by “empty shelves, which had been full the day before”.

    A member of staff explained the sudden withdrawal boasting, “We are a Muslim business, we don’t want to sell Christmas articles”.

    It’s easy to initially get upset with Woolworths, but on closer examination, it is a bit difficult to expect a store to stock merchandise virtually no one wants because there are few Christians left in the area around the store.

    Seda Capakcur, the branch’s manager, confirmed festive items were no longer being sold at the store.


    “The Christmas articles are hardly in demand here. Already last year, everything remained unsold”, she told reporters.

    News about the Dortmund Woolworths went viral, prompting the company’s head office to make a statement on the controversy.

    Spokesman Diana Preisert said: “Woolworths is, of course, not a Muslim company. Christmas merchandise is available from September onwards and should be sold out by the end of December.

    “In this branch, however, demand was too low. Therefore the goods were distributed to other branches.”

    She added that few customers now celebrate Christmas in the area, citing “local conditions”, to describe how the store’s surrounding locale is now mostly Muslim as a result of mass immigration.

    Mrs. Merkel needs to be retired. And her policies need to be repudiated — and not just in Germany.

    garabandal, This is story of hail in Rome this week is quite amazing especially considering all that is going on there right now in relation to the Youth Synod.

    ***

    The following story is quite sad and it reminded me of the lightning strikes on St. Peter's Basilica in 2013 (https://www.accuweather.com/en/weat...trike-vatican-after-popes-resignation/6050437) which thankfully did not result in a horrible fire like the following one.

    Flames engulf First Baptist Church in Wakefield, Mass., on Tue., Oct. 23, 2018. CBS Boston
    WAKEFIELD, Mass. — A massive fire ripped through the First Baptist Church of Wakefield Tuesday night, CBS Boston reports. The church is on Lafayette Street and appears to be a total loss.

    A witness reported seeing lightning strike the 180-foot steeple before it went up in flames.

    "I saw the lightning strike the steeple, and we saw the smoke and it just went up in flames fast," said Christian Bruno, who lives across from the church.

    Police are warning people to stay away from the area. There have been no reported injuries.

    According to its website, the First Baptist Church of Wakefield is nearly 150 years old.

    ​
    Prayers going up for all those effected by this. The following is a picture of what this church looked like before last night's blaze. upload_2018-10-24_12-0-49.png

    Sad, yes. Such a gorgeous old structure.

    This may or not be apropos for a sign, but we here in the mid-Atlantic are not having an autumn. In the mountains of West Virginia, leaves were green in mid-
    October, still green in Western New York, green in Maryland. The leaves are frizzled. They fall off the trees. They try to turn colors in parts of the tree. It is very unusual and I am old enough to be able to say I have never seen it like this.

  12. George Soros May Not Be the Antichrist, but the Antichrist Spirit Is Certainly at Work

    [​IMG]
    George Soros (Facebook/George Soros)

    Rudy Giuliani recently retweeted a post that read, "Follow the money. I think Soros is the anti-Christ! He must go! Freeze his assets & I bet the protests will stop."

    I was surprised to see how much media attention this tweet received. While I'm sure many, including Giuliani, didn't take this Antichrist accusation seriously, others see a strong spiritual angle to Soros' actions.

    I personally don't think Soros is the Antichrist. But it's obvious he operates in the spirit of the Antichrist that the apostle John warned us about in 1 John 4:3—"And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and is already in the world."

    The fact is that Soros funds many of the attacks on conservative, biblical values. The media tries to make it seem as though the many liberal protests we're seeing nowadays are spontaneous. But as I document in my book Trump Aftershock, there's strong reason to believe that many of these protesters are paid to come and stir up trouble.

    Rich socialists like Soros know that if they can manage to disrupt society with chaos, good and decent people will cave into liberal demands and give way to the leftist agenda.

    Even though these things have been happening for quite some time, I believe we are in a position in America that we've never been in before. The attacks against Christian values seem to have never been stronger than they are today. But I also believe the pendulum is about to swing the other way—and part of that started with Donald Trump's election.

    I document this phenomenon in Trump Aftershock, which comes out Nov. 6. Since Trump was elected in 2016, he's accomplished several exciting things, including boosting the economy, strengthening international diplomacy, moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and even forcing Turkey to free wrongfully imprisoned pastor Andrew Brunson.

    I also document the intense attacks—fueled by billionaire radicals—coming from the left since Trump has been in office. Democrats were even so bold as to say they would oppose anyone Trump nominated to replace former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.

    How George Soros 'Rents' Evangelicals to Confuse Voters
    But the war against Christian values isn't limited to those on the far left, such as FPL and Faith in Action. On the CBS Sunday-morning program Face the Nation, Washington Postcolumnist Michael Gerson, a liberal evangelical, was asked to comment on the evangelical leaders who supported the president during the Stormy Daniels scandal. The former speechwriter for President George W. Bush replied, "Well, they are acting like, you know, slimy political operatives, not moral leaders. They are essentially saying, in order to get benefits for themselves, in a certain way—they talk about religious liberty and other issues—but to get benefits for themselves, they are willing to wink at Stormy Daniels and wink at misogyny and wink at nativism."

    My friend Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, who was accused of moral duplicity by Gerson in an article for The Atlantic, responded by saying his decision to support Donald Trump was due to the dramatic contrast between the two candidates and the good that Trump's conservative agenda would do. "Religious freedom is being restored," he said, "pro-life policies being advanced— the infrastructure of leftist government being dismantled. That's why Gerson and the left are so enraged." Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of Dallas' First Baptist Church and an adviser to the president, agreed: "We are supporting this president because of his policies."

    Meanwhile, Dr. Richard Land, president of Southern Evangelical Seminary, said evangelicals "feel culturally and politically besieged" and "feel like their government has been weaponized against them." During a radio interview, Land said, "In a fallen sinful world, sometimes we are forced to make a choice between the lesser evil and the greater evil. And if we do not choose to help the lesser evil triumph over the greater evil, we become morally responsible for the greater evil prevailing."

    He added, "However immoral you may think Donald Trump is, Mrs. Clinton is more immoral." He added that liberal evangelicals such as Mike Gerson have missed the point.

    I could not agree more, and I've described elsewhere that I've made that point not only in God and Donald Trump but in various media interviews and in Trump Aftershock as well.

    To learn more about how deeply socialist billionaires affect the spiritual war raging in our nation, read Trump Aftershock. You can order your own copy at trumpaftershock.com. Even though the book doesn't come out until Nov. 6, if you order now, we will send you an immediate PDF of the first three chapters as well as e-books of Trump Aftershock and God and Donald Trump and a subscription to Charisma magazine.

    Let's educate ourselves on what's really going on in our nation as we prepare to vote Nov. 6. As believers, we have a responsibility to stand in the gap for our nation—both by praying and by voting. Listen to my podcast below to hear more!

  13. All of these "strongest" type weather "events" that have recently, esp. since Trump, bombarded the U.S. makes me think of the prediction made by Theresa Neumann when she was asked about the future of the U.S. and she said that we would be brought low by natural disasters. And some of the current types of prophecies now speak to high tech manipulation of such things as hurricanes/storms for globalist goals.

    NOAA: Super Typhoon Yutu strongest storm to ever hit US soil

    HAGATNA, Guam – With sustained winds of 178 mph as its eye passed directly over the island of Tinian, Super Typhoon Yutu was the strongest storm on record to ever hit U.S. soil and tied for the most powerful storm on earth in 2018, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

    "Tinian has been devastated by Typhoon Yutu," Mayor Joey P. San Nicolas said Thursday. "The homes, main roads have been destroyed. Our critical infrastructure has been compromised. We currently have no power and water. Our ports at this time are inaccessible and several points within the island are inaccessible."

    The power plant has been damaged, and the power "distribution system is completely destroyed,” San Nicolas said.

    More: Saipan, Tinian wake up to devastation from Super Typhoon Yutu

    San Nicolas, a former attorney general for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, said he sent out a request for commodities to be brought to Tinian, like drinking water and ready-to-eat meals.

    With no running water, Tinian stores have not reopened.

    He said roads are being cleared of debris, and Tinian’s airport runway is now usable.

    President Donald Trump issued an emergency disaster declaration on Wednesday for Saipan and Tinian, along with the rest of the Northern Marianas, in anticipation of the typhoon.

    On Saipan, Rosalyn Ajoste remembers hearing loud ripping noises and screeching around 1:30 a.m., before her roof and windows blew off, causing water to flood her concrete-and-wood house in the village of Susupe.

    "It was terrifying and dangerous," she said.

    Ajoste, a 39-year-old teacher and librarian at Saipan Southern High School, said she was too scared to move from her hiding place until 3 a.m.

    "I just sat there, praying and shaking," she said. "I lost several thousand dollars worth of stuff," and priceless items such as family photos.

    In a statement, Gov. Ralph DLG. Torres said the strong wind and rain tested the islands' spirits.

    "Already, we know friends and family who have experienced the worst of these conditions," he said. "My heart goes out to all who call the CNMI home. But what we suffer through together, we will overcome together."

    Three years ago, Typhoon Soudelor slammed Saipan and Tinian. Yutu, a Category 5 super typhoon, exceeded the magnitude of Soudelor.

    "It's one of the most powerful typhoons I've seen in my life," former Gov. Juan N. Babauta said Thursday morning. "There's widespread destruction of property, from homes to cars. There's also destruction of utilities. Power poles were knocked down, blocking main and secondary roads."

    The former governor said power and water in his village of Garapan and other areas was lost around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, and they remained without power Thursday morning.

    Given the extent of the damage, power won't be restored any time soon, he said.

    "People are still in a state of shock," Babauta said. "People are in desperate need of immediate housing, food and other assistance. We heard reports of two babies stuck in a house needing to be rescued, but responders couldn't immediately get to them, and people with health conditions needing oxygen but nobody to give that to them right away. We hope they got the help they needed."

    Rep. Ed Propst, a member of the CNMI House of Representatives, said his family home's storm boards flew away, their windows broke, and their table and chairs flew.

    He said his house flooded and the bedroom door ripped off its hinges. They all relocated into one bedroom, he said.

    "Never experienced any typhoon of this magnitude in my 45 years living here," Propst said.

  19. Was wondering why type of Synagogue this was.....a description:

    Tree of Life Or L'Simcha Congregation is a traditional, progressive and egalitarian congregation based in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood.
     
  20. A Jewish man who just returned from Israel there says that most Jews around the Pittsburgh area live in this neighborhood....also ethnically diverse as well. Says it's the best neighborhood to live in!
