I'm trying to behave as well as not to cry....this is all so hard to see happening, like a waking nightmare
^^ THIS encapsulates the entirety of life's experience without the Spirit of God dwelling in us.

In May, my wife of 12 years emotionally abandoned the marriage. By the end of June, I told her I'll move out, that we'll physically separate since she's already emotionally separated. Her reply: "I'm done." She filed for Dissolution of Marriage online before I moved out 6 weeks later ... Trying to behave, not cry, its to hard to see happening, like a waking nightmare. I can relate. Believe me!

Consequently, I've prayed more in the last few months than ever in my life. (Isn't that how we are supposed to live in any event?) How comforting it was when the Holy Spirit told me this (end of marriage) is the way for my wife's sake; She's chosen to leave the path and no one can stop her, including me. So, I walk in faith now dealing with 4 life changing events simultaneously:
  1. Loss of wife
  2. Loss of house (part of division of assets)
  3. Relocation out of State to help daughter with granddaughter (while hubby is deployed until the end of next year).
  4. Loss of Job (semi-retirement?)
These are personal crises and you shared your despair at the public disaster unfolding before our eyes - the fall of civilization. It's always something and it's always good for God is good and this is a day the Lord has made. Romans 8:28. Is this not so?

You may be comforted to read The Fall of Empires by Sir John Glub, The Decline of the West by Oswald Spengler, and Death Of The West by Patrick J. Buchanan. In short, there is a line from Raiders of the Lost Ark that applies regarding the scene about burying a watch, we are merely passing through history. Have you ever noticed your internal peace when you're on the other side of the rainbow? How past trials and tribulations don't seem as dramatic or traumatic AFTER you've gone through it? I have. Praise God. Amen and Amen!

Very sorry to hear about your wife, Wrangler. You are dealing with a lot there. Perhaps she will find she misses you and want to come back......keep praying for her.

Amen, trials are like labour pains, not fun to go through but doesn't seem quite so bad once it's all over.

That is a surprising list but Boeing 767s are on a different scale altogether, aren't they?

Scale.

Well on the list was a cargo 747 plane.
It's actually a monster compared 767 and it's got 4 engines, not just 2.

Also on the list was a Mitchell B-25.
It's a military bomber.
It's also a monster much bigger than 767.

I am certainly no expert, but I expect that the conclusions derived from models and calculations are dependent on what variables are considered

Every variable should be considered.
So when witnesses report seeing something such as molten metal in the wreckage, that should be taken into account. Yet the report says nothing about it

Why don't you check the fact that the elevator shafts were being serviced and armed guards were at each floor being serviced?

Nobody wants to talk about building 7 the 50+ story high rise that collapsed and was not hit by a jet and only received collateral fire from the towers. It was not even marginally engulfed in flames.
I did :D

This is such old news it's crazy people are still debating over what happened.
Haliburton and the Military Industrial Complex.
There is nothing more to say.

LoL your right but Jesus is much older news and people are still in debates over him so I'm not surprised.

Hello,

I watched this video and thought that it provided a balanced account of the 9/11 events.


I hope that it will shed some new light on what has been claimed on this forum.

Shalom

The explanation of the falling buildings starts at the 28 minute mark on the video. Interesting that those 3,000 architects signing the petition weren't all architects.

Well they were also engineers, professors, physicists, scientists and other professionals signing that petition.
There were more exerprts than just architects.

I find it more interesting that thermite and molten steel was found all over the wreckage. And that no other building has ever free fallen onto its own footprint without explosives.
That interests me the most but you don't want to hear about cos it destroys your belief

Four major proofs that
they can't explain


1 - Physics. The towers came down in a gravitational acceleration.
Some sources try to claim its false but thats a lie. It can be very easily calculated.
Ohers say the buildings falling energy was enough to cause that, but thats false. According to the physics, the building is much too light and columns are much too strong

2 - Molten metal was witnessed at the wreckage. A building fire cant possibly melt steel, no even with jet fuel. This points to demo charges shearing colums by melting them at a point. The report says nothing about the molten metal.

3 - Thermite found in the wreckage. This is clear evidence of demo charges being used. There is no other explanation. The report admits finding it but calls it a mystery.

4 - A building has never collapsed in a free fall onto its own footprint without demo charges. Its never been seen because its impossible.
We've seen other buildings fully engulfed in flames or hit by airplanes even bigger that didnt fall. Buildings tip over if they are badly damaged on one side.

I've seen no valid answers for these four factual proves
