    I think he's wondering why I didn't get in one.

    I would love to go on the bus with it to see everyone's faces.:) They'd probably all scream and run off.;)

    "Stop attacking MOG posters who don’t agree with your pet conspiracy

    All of your response may very well be true, Brian..

    But accusing another forum member (on a Christian website) of 'attacking' people without evidence is out of order; particular so if the 'attack' is merely a difference of opinion.

    I've been coming here for years, and periodically I post... and so what if I have a different perspective to you or to others? Am I ATTACKING them?

    I (and other visitors here - everyone) need to feel safe in order to be able to post; and to enjoy and to learn from this very informative website. Differing peoples perspectives on every day matters are to be cultivated, not 'accused' - that is one of the major ways by which we learn.

    I enjoy reading and hearing how other people perceive an everyday event or situation (as long as that perspective does not interfere with or blasphem the faith - which I do not believe R67 has at anytime done).

    Now, if I'm wrong on that, could you please provide examples of those times when R67 has insulted forum members or worse - ATTACKED - them.....

    We just don't have to deal with Coronavirus on this forum but neo-con-itis!

    Neo-cons are to blame for everything.

    And I haven't even got a clue what a neocon is;)

    How terrible. So scary when you fall ill so far from home. My daughter recently booked a 2021 cruise for her family.
    Honestly I wish she would cancel, she has four little ones. She begged me to go but I declined. I know people love their cruises, but stuff happens on those boats.

    Brian, I am glad that I finally read this. I just want to state 2 things.

    The first is that just like Rod points out in the article we need to be examples of our Faith and not panic, easier said than done.

    The second thing is I have also posted things that other members have been concerned about in the past, for instance protestant materials in which they spoke of the Rapture (which is not part of our Faith). At the time, I felt that the video or article had value as I think this article does too but I would try and remember to post a warning with those things to not confuse a passer by on the forum or a new member or such. So, you might want to edit the post and just state a warning.

    Thanks for helping to keep us aware.

  13. Oh goodie....we have our very own ALF/ET! When you are wearing the mask, Padraig, do your kick your heels together and chant "Home, I want to go home"?! (that was ALF/ET plus Wizard of Oz). The problem though is that others may shoot first before they ask any questions.....even without any virus!

    10 Plagues That Are Hitting Our Planet Simultaneously


    All of a sudden, really crazy things are starting to happen all over the world. Giant swarms of locusts are absolutely devastating entire regions, extremely unusual storms are confounding meteorologists, earthquake and volcanic activity are both on the rise, and five very dangerous diseases are sweeping across the globe. So far in 2020, it has just been one thing after another, and many are speculating about what could be ahead if events continue to escalate. The other day my wife mentioned that one of her friends suggested that I should put together a list of all the weird stuff that has been taking place, and so that is what I have decided to do. The following is a list of 10 plagues that are hitting our planet simultaneously…


    #1 Armies Of Locusts – As I detailed the other day, swarms of locusts the size of major cities have been devouring entire farms in Africa in as little as 30 seconds. These swarms have also been spreading throughout the Middle East, and now we have learned that they have even reached China

    A gigantic swarm of locusts that belong to a plague that has ravaged millions of acres of crops across east Africa has been spotted reaching the Chinese border.

    Billions of the insects have destroyed food supplies across Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia in what has been described as the worst plague for decades.

    #2 Extremely Bizarre Weather Patterns – It is almost as if virtually all of the old rules have suddenly been thrown out the window. An all-time record 209 mph wind gust just hit Calfiornia, and absolutely crazy storms are happening all over the planet. For example, just check out what just took place in Australia

    Sydney has been thrown into chaos by a devastating storm that saw two months of rainfall in just two days – forcing mass evacuations, leaving 150,000 homes without power, and prompted warnings not to drive to work. The storm dumped 400mm of rain on the city over the weekend, causing mayhem for commuters on Monday morning with roads blocked, ferries canceled and trains suffering major delays across the network.

    #3 Unprecedented Flooding – We are seeing unusual flooding all over the world right now, and the flooding that is devastating the southern U.S. at this moment is being called “unprecedented”

    In Jackson, Mississippi, hundreds of residents either watched their homes flood over the weekend or worried their residence would soon be drenched as the Pearl River crested Monday at 36.8 feet, its third-highest level ever recorded – behind only 1979 and 1983.

    Calling the Jackson floods “historic” and “unprecedented,” Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said in a Sunday press conference that “we do not anticipate this situation to end anytime soon. It will be days before we are out of the woods and the waters recede.”

    #4 Major Earthquakes – Really big earthquakes are happening with such frequency now that it is very difficult for me to write about them all. For example, a magnitude 7.7 quake recently struck off of the coast of Jamaica, but I have been so busy writing about other disasters that I have not even mentioned it until now

    A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck Tuesday about 80 miles from Jamaica, shaking people in the Caribbean and as far away as Miami.

    A tsunami of 0.4 feet was recorded in the Cayman Islands at George Town, but no tsunami was observed at Port Royal, Jamaica, or Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.

    #5 Unusual Volcanic Eruptions – Seismic activity has been rising all over the globe, and over the past couple of months we have seen volcanoes all over the world pop off like firecrackers. One of the most notable eruptions that we have seen in recent days was the most powerful eruption of Mount Merapi in 90 years

    One of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, Mount Merapi just experienced its most powerful eruption since 1930! The eruption reportedly took place on Thursday and was caught on video displaying a powerful and terrifying eruption showing the moment the crater exploded and launched lava and ash an estimated 2,000 meters into the air forcing local residents to stay outside of the designated no-go zone 3km (1.8 miles) from the crater.

    #6 The Coronavirus – Needless to say, the coronavirus outbreak in China has been getting more headlines than anything else on this list. The numbers continue to rise, and many are speculating that this could potentially become the worst global pandemic since the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. In a desperate attempt to keep the truth from getting out, the World Health Organization is asking the major social media companies to censor their users

    The World Health Organization has held talks with tech giants to stop the spread of coronavirus “misinformation,” despite the fact that some things once labeled “misinformation” have since turned out to be true.

    The meeting was organized by the WHO but hosted by Facebook at its Menlo Park campus in California. Attendees included representatives from Amazon, Twilio, Dropbox, Google, Verizon, Salesforce, Twitter, YouTube, Airbnb, Kinsa and Mapbox.

    #7 The African Swine Fever – “Pig Ebola” has already wiped out millions upon millions of pigs in China, and it has now spread to more than 40 other countries. The price of pork is absolutely skyrocketing in China right now, and to help fill the demand the Chinese are increasingly importing pork from U.S. sources

    Tyson Foods Inc. says it’s just starting to see the benefits of the African swine fever outbreak in China, which includes a 600% year-over-year increase in pork orders to China in the fiscal first quarter.

    #8 The H1N1 Swine Flu – Unlike the African Swine Fever, the H1N1 Swine Flu can actually kill humans. In fact, it has already killed more people outside of China than the coronavirus outbreak has. For instance, 13 people in Taiwan died from the virus in one recent week alone

    As of now, the H1N1 virus is posing a great threat once again as it has claimed 13 lives in Taiwan in the last week. This virus is highly contagious and is known to spread from human to human. It is especially dangerous for those with a compromised immune system like those suffering from chronic medical conditions and long-term health conditions.

    #9 The H5N1 Bird Flu – This strain of the bird flu caused a massive global scare a number of years ago, and now it is experiencing a stunning resurgence. China has had to kill thousands of chickens so far, and experts are warning that this outbreak could be just getting started…

    China also is reportedly dealing with an outbreak of the deadly H5N1 bird flu in chickens in the Hunan province, an area that borders the province where the coronavirus emerged, according to the South China Morning Post.

    As of Feb. 1, local authorities had culled 17,828 poultry after the H5NI outbreak, according to a statement by China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

    #10 The H5N8 Bird Flu – This strain is different from the H5N1 bird flu, but many believe that it is even more frightening. It has started to pop up in numerous places around the globe, and experts were really surprised when it recently made an appearance in Germany

    Germany has reported an outbreak of the highly pathogenic H5N8 bird flu virus in a backyard in the southwestern part of the country, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) said on Monday.

    The virus killed 44 birds out of a flock of 69 in Bretzfeld, in the Baden-Wurttemberg region, the Paris-based OIE said, citing a report from Germany’s food and agriculture ministry.

    Can any of you remember a time when we have been hit by crisis after crisis like this all at once?

    2020 has certainly started off with quite a bang, and many expect global events to continue to accelerate.

    Overwhelming. It's a minefield out there. :( Just the regular type A/ B flu is like a runaway train here in Massachusetts.

  19. In my state in 1876 grasshoppers had stripped nearly every green living plant. My family was living here at that time. People were living off cranberries in the bogs, which was about the only thing they wouldn't touch.

    The sky was so full of grasshoppers that it was decribed as being brown blotting out the sun during the daytime. People were starving to death.

    The governor declared a day of prayer to free the state from the impending plauge in the spring of 1877 when the grasshoppers were going to hatch.

    In the next two days after the day of prayer, warm weather caused millions of larvae to wiggle to life and skeptics scoff; but a plunge in temperature on the fourth day provides a late freeze and kills them, the few that survive fly west out of the state. A chapel was built at Cold Spring to commemorate the miracle.

    Pray, pray, pray.
