It's coming, folks!

Business Insider reports:

"Thousands of Swedes are having microchips implanted into their bodies so that they don't need to carry key cards, IDs, and even train tickets."

In fact, Sweden's national railway line can now scan passengers' hands to collect their fares.

The mark of the beast may well be the scar where a microchip was, implanted.

Frank! Did you really say that???

Revelations: 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,
so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

The point is, by the time the "mark of the beast" is imposed on the public,
people will be accustomed to such things.

We are already willing to trade our privacy for convenience.

It will all seem so logical and responsible. "Mark of the beast" technology will offer
the promise of convenience, security, and health.

Just as the Bible warns.

I think Christians will demand that it be imputed. Then they will accept it.

The microchip is really dumb, even if you don't think it is the mark of the beast. Suppose someone steals your RFID, like they do with peoples credit cards from inside their wallets? You would have to get the implant replaced.

...or thieves forcing you to "give them a hand" in order to steal your identity and money.

Actually I don't know what it might be and don't care. We may or may not ever know in our life.

Our social networks are obsessed with gathering every scrap of data about our personal lives.
Our relationships, our moods, and everyday doings are tracked.

Consumers are beginning to notice that merely driving or walking to another location changes the ads they see for places that are nearby.

Walk onto a car lot and start seeing ads for cars. No input required.

It's true.
I was shopping around on the internet for a tractor with a front end loader.
Not long after that there were advertisements showing up on the righthand side of my email account en Facebook account.

Not long after that I started to receive emails about tractors from companies I never contacted.
And I never used email or Facebook to look for these tractors.

Scary stuff. What else will be on record "somewhere"?

I've had things like that happen to me also, it's pretty weird lol.

Good thought...agree.
I had not even thought of that...but you are right!!

now you're making sense imo, take a look at the dollar in your pocket that you pretend is money

 

[Triumph1300]

now you're making sense imo, take a look at the dollar in your pocket that you pretend is money

I carry Canadian dollars.

 

[Helen]

I carry Canadian dollars.

Hahaha!! That is probably WORSE...it is all "pretend money"... no gold in the banks to back any of it!

 

[bbyrd009]

I carry Canadian dollars.

they're still promissory notes T, issued at interest, still inflated, still issued by a Central Bank.
$1 in 1935 would be = $18 today, so it has crashed almost 95% in less than one hundred years, a cumulative 2100% rate of inflation since 1913

I can still go to a store and buy things with cash money.
Recently I bought a new car with cash.
That really shook them up.
I'm not sure, but I believe they phoned the cops.
Specially after I refused all the extra BS they tried to sell me, like undercoating, 3M, and extra warranty.
They probably thought I was a drug dealer.

I use credit cars very little, only for groceries.
And not one single outfit takes authorized payments out of my Visa account. Period.
And I always pay before the monthly due date because I hate paying interest to loan sharks.

Call me old fashioned. Fine!

Whatever.
I don't care.
Works for me.

Pretend, or not, it is what all countries in the world have chosen to make their means of exchange..... and it works.

 

[bbyrd009]

1) that is not true, not all countries, def not all nations, and
2) if you like it, i like it, but that is a great mark of the beast, right. Any other tender legal in Canada? Do we need to read the Scriptural description again? See the point was to agree with Triumph, when the mark is accepted you will not be conscious of it, and no one will be able to prove it to you, idc if your clown money crashed 99%+, like the dollar has, ppl will defend it bc "it works for me" lol.

we're all done with $40-50 an hour jobs, ppl glad to be working for $10 an hour now, right. And food has roughly doubled since then.
Get back to me when we're tickled pink to have a $5 an hour job, and food has doubled again, i guess, maybe we can have a convo then. Actually i am done with the convo until a day's wages buy us a handful of barley (poor man's food)

Pretend, or not, it is what all countries in the world have chosen to make their means of exchange..... and it works.

strychnine works too lol. i mean you gotta see that a manipulated dollar is going to force a change in perspective in how the dollar should be used, etc. but ok, the party's almost over, and guess who is going to be left holding the bag. When the US can't borrow a $Trillion a year any more what do we think will happen? At least have that convo ok
