Joe_in_RP Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I suspect this will strengthen the financial markets and the US dollar. Time will tell. I wish you were right on this Stan. Its time for people to get very close to God. Daily bible study and prayer. Only He can save us. Only He can give us comfort. Only He can ease our pain. He is the one I put my faith and trust in.

fccool Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I suspect this will strengthen the financial markets and the US dollar. Time will tell. To say that this move will strengthen the dollar, is like saying that another loan will strengthen the position of a person neck deep in debt... or another fix will help drug addict. It does not help, it just makes things worse off. Although, honestly I don't know what else choices they got but to bail out these "cheap credit" companies by plunging US deeper into debt. The other alternative, is to let the natural way of things resume, and the economy will self adjust (it will be painful), loose some weight and revive. Right now it is a fat man which can barely walk, yet people are yelling ... look how big and strong he is! The sooner we realize that our current way of life is unsustainable because it is constantly borrows from the future generations to finance the luxuries of today... many times at the expense of the third world.... the better...

LifeHiscost Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Some Pastors are even promoting this from the Pulpit. Unbelievable.. Any particular body of believers or notorious speakers? Seems to fit into the signs of the times. "And you will hear of....rumors....; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet." Matthew 24:6 AMP Regards! Quote Lift Jesus up!!

Guess we don't have to surmise now. How does that song go__ "I can hear the angels comin'" Exciting times. A lot of people are hurting and it's not going to get any better, at least not for long. Come quickly, Lord Jesus. Quote Lift Jesus up!!
Beryl Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Quote: I still spell colour with "our", and it's hard to unlearn that. Don't worry, fccool, just keep spelling colour the same way that you learned to spell -- you are correct. You are spelling it the same way as the British and Australians spell it, so. see -- you are in very good company!! Beryl Quote "Grace is God doing for us, in us and through us that which He requires of us but which is impossible for us to do in or for ourselves." But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Cor. 12:9.
Taylor Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Lol I went to school in the USA system but we had Brittish Spelling books so I spell like a Brit too..and have to readjust myself all the time..."colour" and other such words are constantly being corrected by my American Friends who say "that is spelled incorrectly". :) Quote
CyberGuy Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 There is such a scam going on right now. It talks, and provides 'evidence' for the collapse of the US end of this month, Martial Law declared so there can be no fall US election, etc etc. How the "church" is hiding this for various reasons. Testimonies of "high" ranking people all over the world. Some of our members have been instructed to book moving vans and uHauls now to move out to isolated areas. They seem to be successfully targeting our Seniors. Have others been getting 'their' emails? Some Pastors are even promoting this from the Pulpit. Unbelievable.. There are always those who will try to trick the elderly into believing a pack of untruths. I tend to be skeptical of the nay sayers that say the sky is falling of the economy is failing and to buy gold from them etc. Yeah right. I tend to wait and see what happens. Quote Riverside CA
fccool Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Guess what happened to the Jews in Jerusalem, who did not believe that "the sky is falling". They ended up dying of starvation and resorted to eating their children. It was horrible. I believe that what's coming will likewise be horrible. If you wait, then it will be too late if the sky does come down. You don't have to do much to prepare. Back in the days, preparing for the winter was common sense. You canned food and etc. Today this is considered paranoid. Either way, it's better to be safe than sorry. The worst thing that can happen is for your food to increase in value as the food prices rise. Think about it... if you keep the money in the bank, you get 4% gain if you are lucky and 5.37% inflation rate, once again... if you are lucky. You loose money . If you do invest it in food (or gold)... you will gain simply by not letting your assets devaluate. Quote

K in front of the knife... all kinds of inconsistent rules and exceptions (especially when it comes to pronunciation) I still spell colour with "our", and it's hard to unlearn that. We need the k's in knife and knight and the same word "read" to be pronounced "red" and "read" depending on context so that we can tell when the Russians are typing or speaking vs the 'aenglish!

fccool Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Likewise, if the government has any doubt that someone is a foreign spy, they give them American History test. If they pass... it's most likely that they are spies. :) Quote
Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted October 3, 2008 Moderators Posted October 3, 2008 This past two weeks' events just show how quickly our money can become worthless. Evidently the Lord has further work for each of us to do with our money, since today the House of Representatives voted to approve the $700B bailout plan. Now we'll see what can be done with all that money [and we'll begin to see our taxes rising in order to pay for it]. The economic ship of state is tipping precariously. We know its balance will soon be lost. Makes me feel I should be investing more of my funds into the Lord's work, rather than in my own savings account.
