yeh, even golf ball sized hail will ruin a late modelWhen we get softball or even baseball size around here, it is time to take cover. You don't want to get hit by one or to have your car out and uncovered.
i would encourage sticking with talent until more relevant information comes to light maybeI'm trying really hard to visualize a 75 pound piece of hail... LOL... I get stuck on things like this.
got a link? i wasnt able to find one, even with “talent sized hail” moved to the foreWhen the nukes were tested in the ocean in the 60's it produced talent sized hailstorms.
Several years ago our car got hit by a hailstorm. I was inside an play place with my grandchildren. We were fine. It was early summer as the parking lot outside was buried several inches deep with smaller [up to ½ inch] hailstones. From a distance it looked like snow. My car was driveable but had serious body damage. I've never been in one with really large hailstones, although they are not so uncommon in Oklahoma. [They sometimes come during tornado warnings. I would rather not experience the very large stones personally.yeh, even golf ball sized hail will ruin a late model

Historically the local church became identified with a physical assembly in a designated building. Currently these might be reasons for non-attendance.
Many Bible-believing members of the body of Christ have moved away from unfulfilling clergy dominated and edifice oriented fellowship to more worthwhile devotional interaction online.
- Lockdown restrictions
- Irrelevant programs
- Artificial fellowship style
- False teachings
- Pagan practices
- Health issues
I wonder what that would look like in algebra..Take 240 Baseballs to knock over 100 cans of Beer
1200 Parakeets chasing 25 average size ferrets
Fry up 300 apples in 300 Sticks of Butter
Sitting on 2 1/2 cinder blocks watching the Average Alaskan Malamute Husky Dog sleep.
can you tell it's been a long day?

There is only one definition of a saint -- those who have been regenerated by the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.Who are you referring to as saints?
Really? You live in Canada and know nothing about the persecution of Christians, pastors, and churches throughout Canada? Pastors were jailed for ensuring that they kept on doing what they were supposed to do.No one is suffering Christian persecution at this time in the Western World.
So sorry about your experience, I think many of us who have ‘ come out ‘ of the local church have had lack of support and understanding, when I left I was in the wilderness for many years. However it was there that I started to trust The Lord more than man. I know what you mean about the homeless, but where I live I do have to say the church does reach in and help them in many ways. Mental health is a difficult one as often as not people feel out of their depth. My sister in law has schizophrenia and I love her, come along side her but she is suffering so deeply and has been for 30 years ………..I think many are in a living hell xI would say it is not just people put in prison or torture for faith. In this harsh modern western world regime there are many christians/messianics and nonchristians suffering lots of mean cruel wrongs. Eg look at the homeless people in NZ, Australia, USA, UK, Ireland, etc. Someone can be in a prison that is not the type of state prison meant.
Ideally yes the Church/Body is supposed to be like an alternative community where we all love one another and help each other and every part/member has a valuable niche role to play/contribute. Jesus commanded us to ove one another, bear one anothers burdens, "as you did to the least of these", do unto others as would have done to you, love your neighbour as yourself. Philadelphia means "brotherly love". But the church has been infiltrated/hijacked by Babylon/Romans or/and whoever else. (It is not just christians either, most people in the world are also cold, hard, selfish.) People simply don't understand or care unless it happens to them, and they don't care until things get bad enough (at present they are given just enough petty good to keep them happy).
I have been suffering hell for years/decades and in my own experience I have found that most Christians/Churches/Messianics simply don't understand or care/love/help. I have begged and pleaded for years but everyone just cut me off as "negative", they pass the parcel to "mental health" or other services. And God seems to punish me as if it is wrong to seek any human help and as if we have to have unwavering faith in him alone. Even other people never tell me about things they suffering or ask for help (if I don't already see it myself).
It was prophesied that the love of many would grow cold, there would be a falling away, etc, and that people would long to see the days of Jesus.
We can not make anyone love, or make our selves love. Only by being One with Yeshua the first love.
"Jesus has many mouths, but few hearts, bowels, guts/balls, brains, hands/feet."
Forgot what else I was going to say. See my blog on here.
"He/she who saves a soul saves a whole universe/world."
Dear brother, my heart goes out to you. We shall pray for you this day.
We have been following the draconian lockdown of Australia for some time and it truly is horrible. But it's about the same in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is not the International City of the world it was up until a couple years ago. The communist chinese have done the same and worse to the Hong Kong people. Taking people away and they are never seen or heard from again. Protesters imprisoned. Kids murdered.
And America's government is in bed with the chinese, and the Prime Minister of Canada has been bringing Chinese troops into Canada to do winter training (Canada is supposed to be an ally of America, but is instead training our enemies), and the CIA have been bringing muslim terrorists into America for decades. And the Chinese bought 200 acres just south of Texas in Mexico where they have troops now. The people of America have not a clue what is in store for her. It's written in the bible, but they don't see it, yet.
Your story is NOT boring at all. The people on this site need to read your words, because they would never believe it otherwise.
And when I spoke of networking, I do in fact mean between countries, too.
Very wise. We've been following this diligently over the past year or so, and knew that it was evil from the start.
I never could understand why Trump wanted a vaccine so quickly. I suppose there were political pressures, and other thinking, but in reality I was against it from the start. And it's turned out to be used to murder and harm people worldwide, and in the USA... ugh. I told some saints months ago, that I suspect that this "covid" and the experimental drug, might very well have been one of the 7 thunders John was told to NOT write about in Revelation ch. 10.
In the past few months, and especially a week ago, a US Lab examined the contents under a microscope of 2 of the 3 pharma companies and what the doctor saw (and took photos of) is horrifying. (I posted the videos in a couple other threads I created on here) Japan saw the same stuff, to some degree anyway, and stopped the drug on their people from the Moderna company. No, the people have been dumbed down and stupid for many decades and have not a clue what is being done to them.
And the evils of institutionalized "church" are just as horrible.

By yourself!
The false are known by their fruit. Discerning of spirits is a gift of the Spirit. And we trust Jesus.
Much love!
Perhaps the issue is TRUST.... I don't believe churches are meant to be BIG...Bigger is never better... I live in a city of only 55,000 people... Where would you suggest I attend?? The Catholic church?? The Calvinist churches?? The pentecostal church?? Perhaps the United Church who has a gay married minister?? NONE of these denominations teach TRUTH.I wonder why people do this and often talk of discipline, yet reject the discipline of the local church, saying they are not spiritual etc etc
