Recently there have been a number of exchanges that were less than friendly and have even led one thread to be shut down. It is interesting the kinds of behaviors that have been displayed and I have concluded that some exchanges qualify as "gaslighting." So, the following video may help understand this problem better. What I learned About "Gaslighting" https://youtu.be/WeIvKOMkbmY

Lou: Talking about fulfilled prophecies reminds me of a question one of our listeners wrote out very nicely for us. He says, “What answer might I give my neighbor who believes that Israel will once again become a great nation? There are many unfulfilled promises to Israel. He believes that these promises have yet to […] The post Questions and Answers (19:11) appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog. View the full article

5 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Apple On January 9, 2007, Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, which propelled Apple into becoming one of the richest companies in the world. Here are 5 fascinating facts you may not know about Apple… There Were Actually Three Founders of the Company It’s common knowledge that Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built the first computer for Apple in a garage, but a third partner named Ronald Wayne had worked with Steve Jobs at Atari and helped to begin the company that eventually became Apple. Not only did he help develop the computer, he wrote its manual and even came up with Apple’s first logo. When he realized that if Apple didn’t work out, his own assets would be at risk, he decided to bail. He sold his share of the company to the Steves for $800. After the sale, Wayne had a lackluster career in electronics and now sells stamps and coins in a Nevada trailer park. The Name "Apple" Was Chosen for Several Reasons Steve Jobs had one practical reason for naming the Apple computer and one whimsical reason. The first was because he wanted the company to be listed in front of Atari in the telephone book. The second was because he thought the name Apple for a computer was playful, and he was a fruitarian at the time. Apple's First Computer Had a Satanic Connection The retail price of Apple’s first computer, the apple-1, was $666.66. When asked why he came up with that price, Woz (who claims to have had no idea that it had Biblical overtones) claimed that it was because he wanted a one-third markup over the wholesale price. But that would have made the price $666.67, it was pointed out to him. Woz then replied that straight sixes is easier to type, and that he has an affinity for repeating numbers. Woz being Woz, the questions stopped there. The First Apple Logo Had a Picture of Isaac Newton Isaac Newton, of course, was a mathematician and physicist who, legend has it, came up with the idea of the existence of gravity as he watched an apple fall from a tree. For the original logo for the company, Ronald Wayne, the co-founder of the company who bailed out early, depicted Newton seated underneath the apple tree where he made one of his most famous discoveries. One of Apple’s first computers that could be held in one hand also referenced the physicist when it was named the Apple Newton. Apple Offered the First Digital Camera to the Public Apple produced the first digital camera in color back in 1994, when existing models still used flashbulbs. It was named the Apple QuickTake 100 and was sold for around three years, from 1994 to 1997. Unfortunately, there was no preview screen, the camera only took eight pictures, and to view them, you had to plug it into your computer. Because the camera was expensive and the photo quality was poor, it never really caught on with the public.

5 Things You You Might Not Know About Elvis Presley_2 January 8, 1935, marks the birth of Elvis Presley, the man destined to become a legend in rock and roll. Here are five shocking facts you probably didn't know about Elvis Presley... Elvis Had a Twin Elvis was born on Jan. 8, 1935 at his parent’s small home in Mississippi … but he wasn’t the only one born that night. Jesse, who would have been Elvis’ older brother by 35 minutes, was stillborn, and buried the next day in an unmarked grave at the Priceville Cemetery in Tupelo. Throughout his career, Elvis would mention his twin from time to time, but most people never realized that there were almost two, identical Elvises in the world … I guess you could say, “There can be only one.” Elvis Got His Name From His Father, but the Origin of "Elvis" Is Unknown Elvis' first name came from his father's middle name (Vernon Elvis Presley), but the origin of the name itself is unknown. One theory holds that it's actually a rare last name derived from Elwes; another says that it's derived from Alviss, an Old Norse name taken from mythology meaning "all-wise." Yet another potential origin is that it's related to the names Elvin or Alvin, which come from Old English names like Ealdwine. It was also a variant of the name of an Irish saint from the 6th century and has been used as the anglicized form of Ailbhe, an Irish name used for both men and women. Elvis Owned FDR’s Presidential Yacht “The Potomac” This one seems like something that was really made up, but I can assure you — it wasn’t. After FDR’s death spelled the end of his “floating White House,” the boat went through a few other owners before none other than the King himself purchased the boat in 1964 for a whopping $50,000. The boat was only briefly owned by Elvis however, and he soon after donated it to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital to raise money.Ironically, the boat would later wind up in the hands of some not-so patriotic peeps who used the Potomac to smuggle drugs into San Francisco. In 1980, the old, old wooden ship was seized and later restored and opened to the public as a historical piece. Elvis' Only Grammy Wins Were for Gospel Performances Elvis' musical career is a lot more varied than the rotation of hits you hear on oldies stations would lead you to believe. He was a huge gospel fan and was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2001. Meanwhile, his only Grammy wins were for one live performance and two albums of gospel music. Elvis Traded His Expensive Watch for One Worth About $5 Members of Led Zeppelin were big Elvis fans and finally got to meet him in 1973 in Los Angeles, apparently leaving them speechless. John Paul Jones, bassist with the band, could not think of anything to say other than to compliment Elvis on how attractive his watch was. Elvis responded by giving Jones his $5,000 watch and trading it for Jones’ watch, which featured Mickey Mouse and sold for about $5. ps:again 6 instead of 5??

You see that's the problem that you do not get, I do not need your help Henry. You may think that now you are a god as well as a prophet, you are not. My help comes from YAHWEH! You are the one who truly need a lot of help through THE HOLY SPIRIT! You know I lost a dear friend of mine. I told her I wanted for YAHSHUA to hurry and come and it was my deepest desire to get my life right completely with HIM. I want to be ready when HE comes and I want sin to be removed out of my life completely. It was so sad to me when her daughter told me that her mother told her she did not want YAHSHUA to come yet! She wanted to have a good time still on this earth. My friend was not an SDA and that did not matter to me. What matter that I constantly witness to her about my soul and her's. She respected me by saying YAHWEH and YAHSHUA when we talked. We were really close and I am going to miss her. But, when her daughter told me that at her memorial service dinner, my heart sink. I cried! When anyone dies, I always think did they know THE MOST HIGH, where will they spend eternity? That is my deepest concern and that Henry is my concern about you! I worry that you have become so convince in believing a lie, that you have become delusional. I pray that you will just go to THE FATHER in prayer. Everytime I say anything here, I pray that I can humbly touch someone. I also pray FATHER, help me make sure that I am doing your will. I have made some mistake and tried to correct them. I am not perfect, but I am striving with all my heart. I may sound hard on you because I knew when you were so different and I do not know what happen to make this change? You do not listen to yourself when people see using the "I," word just like Satan. We are here not to just scorn you, but to show you that we want you to be save. You have torn down all of the pillars of faith. Keep in mind the Bible did not say anything about a church. It said ONE (that also in the Greek by Strong means "some"), Supremacy and one faith. I only going what the Bible says and not what I am saying. So, if you take away the faith that has been Bibically proven, Henry you have nothing! Henry you came come up with something and say THE HEAVENLY FATHER revealed it only to you! EGW had visions and she was a true messenger of those visions. But, we know for fact there were two other men that were given the visions also. You just can't be appointed, it is YAHWEH who chooses and HIS method has worked all throughout the ages. The shovel and digs, other sources match and you have none! Plus, YAHWEH'S servants HE choose, were humble, and you are not! That's it and my prayer is that you will not cause THE HOLY SPIRIT to leave you. Both you and Satan have a brilliant minds but both you and him are caught up into self and that will cause a fall! With prayer and deepest regret!
