The Tunisian economy has become the victim of the so-called Arab Uprising, which ironically started in Tunisia. Today's main political feud is a showdown between a stubborn Ennahda party that is clinging to power, and an equally stubborn secular opposition that is dead set on ousting the Islamists out of governance. We are in an impasse that hurts the economy, forcing rating agencies to downgrade Tunisia, just the way Fitch did recently bringing its political risk rating down to BB-. The impact for such move is rather immediate. International financial institutions, from the long-time supporter African Development Bank to the World Bank have decided either to withdraw financial loans to Tunisia or reduce them significantly. One of them says ratings are important in assessing credit worthiness of a nation, the other says the political leaders of the country have failed to fulfill their obligations on the financial side.
We cannot always blame the politicians directly. The shadowy Salafists and the growing activity of the Jihadists do not help in projecting a stable nation and economy. The violence that started in 2011 continues, scaring foreign investors and tourists alike. So much so that Club Med decided to close its Hammamet village, citing not enough vacationers to make it worth maintaining it. This is the latest blow dealt to the already battered tourism sector. The closing of the village means that now hundreds of jobs are lost, with hundreds of families depending on these jobs likely to move into poverty. Perfect scenario for the Salafists!
As things stand today, the best scenario for the Tunisian economy is a growth rate of 2.5% this year. Analysts like to add another half a point or so to call their 2014 projection. They are assuming the political crisis will stabilize enough for Tunisia's economy to expand a bit. I am personally not sure of any of that. I side with the collective group of Tunisian business leaders who actually anticipate economic contraction instead. This is because even a 2% growth suggests that there is at least some level of stability. But is Tunisia really stable to even generate flat growth? Probably not.
Foreign trade, a key component of the Tunisian economy has not done well, and has exacerbated the trade deficit, with exports down, while imports continue to increase. Known for its competitiveness, Tunisia is slowly facing a reversal of fortune, although that can be corrected if the politicians were to agree on anything.
In line with the trends of declining activity in the broad economy, industry observers say reported investments from January to October 2013 fell by 5.8% to settle at slightly more than TND 2.8 billion. All key labor intensive sectors so critical to maintaining social cohesion were affected, with the greatest impact being on the leather/shoe manufacturing where investment intentions fell nearly 72%. In the agribusiness, that decline was almost 46%, followed by textile and clothing at -36%, and other industries at -31%. These figures should indeed alarm the Ennahda party which clearly has all key ministerial portfolios under its leadership. Regardless of the debate on ideology, at the end of the analysis, Ennahda has no capacity in moving the economic to the right direction, as these numbers do not lie.
In light of negative sentiments up and down the economic chain, small and mid-sized businesses that are also critical in maintaining the health of the labor market is struggling because of lack of financing. Analyst firm Tunisie Valeurs noted that "the banking sector is increasingly reluctant to lend to SMEs because it remains focused on cleaning up its bad loans and therefore it is less inclined to take risks."
For business leaders, the political impasse and the resulting security issues are the primary sources of a disastrous economic environment. Looking into the future, executive perception is one of a worsening situation. A survey conducted by the consultancy Centre Tunisien de Veille et d'Intelligence Economique (CTVIE) reveals that current political status-quo and lack of progress will lead to a worsening economic climate by the end of this year for a massive 88.9% of the executives surveyed. This group of executives is actually much more pragmatic and realistic than all the combined government statisticians and rating agencies. Collectively, they actually anticipate a -0.46% growth in 2013. That's a negative figure and not the +2% to +3% we hear from others. What is worse is that only 3.7% of those surveyed displayed a sense of optimism. For those reporting negative sentiments, politics is bad, but terrorism activity is even more harmful. More than half (52%) reported that the recent wave of terrorist violence has had a material impact on their business. The impact is even quantified as representing a 25.46% drop in private sector activity. More dramatic is the anticipated 41% activity contraction by the end of this year.
So what's to do in these conditions? As much as I was always in favor of letting the religious conservative ideologues govern if the people chose them, let's face it, the Ennahda party is not likely going to solve the real problems of Tunisia. I now reached the conclusion that any party that has religion under its hat is simply not fit to govern in ways that make its decisions effective. The religious factor is a major interference to growth. Ideological and theological concepts tend to undermine the need for creativity and innovation. Religious folks, with all due respect to their believes, tend to focus on a social agenda of scaling back women's rights, and the imposition of social practices often using force that do not bode well for economic stability and the stability of families. Unfortunately, Ennahda and its leader Rached Ghannouchi do not have good answers to the challenges facing Tunisia. And therefore, they should go.

This website is distinctly Messianic, comprising the Abrahamic expression of faith, which is to the Jew and the Gentile with a Hebraic character. We affirm the fullness of absolute truth contained in the Bible, embracing the cross and identifying with the convocations of the Lord as seen in the Feasts, the Sabbath and Passover. We reject the legalism of many in the Messianic movement. We reject the Babylonian Pagan traditions of the church. We consider all people Jews and Gentiles and those in all churches who are truly born of the Spirit of the living God to be one family. We reject institutional organised denominationalism (division). We foresee a great falling away of much of the church in these days, while at the same time a great restoration of part of the church. We affirm and identify with God's plan and call to the Jewish people in these days and will support and stand with them as future brothers and sisters. We stand happily with pre / mid/ and post tribbers. Our slant is cautiously pre-trib, but hey, post tribber...you're still family! Today much error has been added to Christendom and much truth has been removed. The Prophetic Scroll's aim is to deal with these issues and assist you on your road to glory. I was saved in 1976 and became extremely interested in Bible prophecy, being an ex war-correspondent and photographer. My calling and aim is to share the dramatic and all-important issues of prophecy relating to our day. This is a calling to unfold and share the wisdom of God as contained in His word. There is also much teaching in these pages for your heart. It's not all prophecy! Please study these things further yourself and understand that the format is non-exhaustive. Please search the scriptures to "see if these be true." This is a "watchman" and Bible prophecy teaching website. |

●Russia warns Israel after air-strike in Damascus. (It seems Russia is the Middle East big-daddy)
●Israeli Air Force strikes Syria for the third in as many days. (The situation is escalating fast)
●Russia condemns Israel for retaliation over Hezbollah-desired land grab in Golan as tensions rise.
Shabbat (Sabbath) begins on Fridays at 6pm and ends on Saturdays at 6pm. The purpose is to help the church and Israel become reconciled in Messiah and to identify the rift, and the needed restoration. There is much in the church that needs to change before it can be fully reconciled with the Jew. Likewise, changes in Jewish thinking are also needed.
24th March 2017
Shabbat Shalom to all:
Collective hatred / Collective love:
Collective ignorance can lead to the powerful force of collective hatred. Collective demon-inspired error is also a source of great hatred.
Pure ignorance and error led to the ancient mass-hatred of God's choice, His love – His people. Never in history has a people been despised by so many for so long. We know the story – the end is coming – great horror and great honour!
Do you remember the sin of the Israeli spies sent to spy out the land? The majority spoke the word of the devil, and only two amongst them spoke the truth, which was that they could overcome the enemy and occupy the land!
I believe there is a message in the proportions of this story. It's the tragedy of the many and the victory of the few. That proportion is found throughout scripture.
The biggest demonstration we have seen of collective hatred in recent times is the Nazi Holocaust.
Today, Islam has taken that mantle with the same spirit motivating them.
The whole world of liberal lefties, anti-Semitics and the whole church-world of replacement theology are not just coming against Israel. They are taunting, mocking and ridiculing the living God. Of course they're blind to that, but God and His people are not!
Genesis 6:3 "The Spirit of God will not contend with man forever."
The collective hatred of Islam:
Much of this hatred is found in the Quran. It is preached regularly in numerous Mosques.
There are over 100 calls to violence in the Quran.
If you haven't realised by now, Islam is a religion that does not know forgiveness. It knows violence well. It knows murder, rape and destruction well. And the media continues to present it as a loving religion of peace.
The universal hatred of Islam is for God's work in the Jews, Jerusalem, Israel and the true, born-again Christian.
Ezekiel 25:15-17 "Thus says the Lord God: 'Because the Philistines (modern Palestinians) dealt vengefully with a spiteful heart to destroy, because of the old hatred, therefore I will stretch My hand out against the Philistines...I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I lay My vengeance upon them.'"
Identifying the camouflaged enemy:
The Fifth Column and the Trojan horse, are characteristics of the devil today working in the mass-media.
Let's explain the "Fifth Column." In WW11 a general was asked how he was going to defeat the enemy, having four columns of soldiers around a city. He said, "I will defeat them with my "fifth column," who is already hiding in plain sight inside the city, mixed within the people.
This became known as the term for a group of people who were to undermine and attack the larger group, from within.
The mass-media is guilty of obscuring, hiding and lying about the very nature of Islam. Do you think the media is accountable to some degree for Islamic terror, because they are the prime deceivers of the nature of Islam as revealed in the Quran?
All these things are happening now for a good reason.
It's because there is a God-ordained, and planned new-birth about to come to pass, which will see salvation brought to the world! Satan and his mouthpiece, the media, don't like that.
It is the Jews in the tribulation period, after finding and knowing their Messiah who will take salvation to the world, Jews and Gentiles. (Isaiah 60:3)
David and Goliath:
1 Samuel 17:8-10 "Then Goliath cried out to the armies of Israel, and said to them, 'Why have you come out to line up for battle? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to me. If he is able to kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us. And the Philistine said 'I will defy the armies of Israel this day..."
We know the story. David, a type of modern day Israel killed Goliath, a type of the antichrist and the Palestinians. By the way, Goliath was six cubits high, had a sword weighing six cubits and had six items of armour, forever aligning him with the fateful number 666.
The story played out just the way Goliath proclaimed, but to this day, the Palestinians can't get the grip on the land of Israel they want. They can't and won't agree with Goliath! They are still defying and taunting the armies of Israel, but now with the support of most of the world, backed by the spirit of Goliath, Hitler and Islam.
A shocking cause of terrorism today:
Joel 3:4 "...Will you retaliate against Me? But if you retaliate against Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head."
Obadiah 1:15 "The day of the Lord upon all nations is near; as you have done, it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head."
Do you know why Europe is in such grave danger? Europe is a joint ringleader of anti-Semitism with Islam. Anti-Semitism is a grave affront, challenge, mockery and attack upon God's word.
But read those verses above again! It's all going to backfire on their own heads.
This is why terrorism will win albeit temporarily. Anti-Semites anywhere are inviting retaliation upon their own heads – and it will be through Islam.
Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived, God is not mocked."
Collective love:
Above: Moses (right) David (Middle) Jew rending heart (left)
Very soon the Jews will tear their hearts open to the Lord. It will be like life from the dead. All the patriarchs spoke of it and longed for it. It's coming!
Standing with and for Israel is love in action. Loving and choosing what God loves and chooses is wisdom. Offering and showing the Jews that they have already been forgiven through their Messiah is love. Opening the doors for the seeking Jew is love in action. Standing against their enemies is love in action.
Today there is a growing groundswell of true Christian believers having their eyes opened to Bible prophecy and God's incredible plan for the Jews. They are becoming Christian Zionists, just like the Bible prophesied.
Seeking Jews, please know and understand that there is a fast-growing number of true Christians who collectively, love you and stand with you and for you.
Shalom † Joel.
Edition 177 September 30th 2013
How to prepare yourself for the days ahead:
Please note that this news section deals only with news events, which have a Biblical or prophetic aspect to them.
►Peace Talks update:
Isaiah 59:8 "The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their ways; they have made themselves crooked paths; whoever takes that path will not know peace."
A "new era" is what the world's media is saying about Iran's so-called peace imitative. It is nothing more than and just as superficial as your ugly neighbour coming over and saying let's all hold hands and play ring a ring of roses. At this stage we also have an impasse on the go between the west and Syria, although Syria has agreed to have its chemical weapons and the program stopped in six months time. This is just about when the Palestinian / Israeli Peace Talks are due to end.
Please bear in mind that it is an Islamic strategy to make "peace" as a tool to conquer their enemies. Islam is most certainly burning with peace. So, this "new era" of peace may just be a great deception which will also spin-off on the Peace Talks. Iran and Syria are not part of the Peace Talks agenda, but the mood may spread. Could it be that we are entering this "new era" just at the "right" time? Could it be that the Peace Talks may just succeed, preparing the way ahead for the launch of the tribulation!
If the Peace Talks break down completely, there is no chance of the tribulation period starting anytime soon. If they do make progress and come to a conclusion, even with a few temporary breaks, then we are set for the most climactic events the world has ever seen to begin next year.
A peace covenant must be in place and ready to be confirmed (signed) at the start of the tribulation (Daniel 9:27).
►"Peace, peace"! Do you see what I see? Some sort of "peace" deal may soon be set up with Syria. Some sort of "peace" deal may soon be set up with Iran. These and other initiatives on the go now may be the start of much peace-talk in the Middle East. This may not be coincidental at all. A wave of shallow peace efforts could inspire the big peace-talks with Israel and the Palestinians.
Yes the end-time scenario is characterised by war and rumours of wars, but that won't be everywhere at the same time. We don't know how the peace efforts will work out exactly, but this could be a pre-cursor to one of the biggest satanic deceptions ever. It won't take much for the world's leaders and the public at large to buy and swallow the peace talk in the Middle East.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 "When they say peace and safety then comes sudden destruction."
The remarkable thing about this verse above is that "peace" comes before destruction. Normally peace comes after war and destruction. Here peace comes first, to create the great deception, before great destruction.
►General news items:
●Iran's Rouhani says that Israel must sign a disarmament treaty.
●Israel's Perez says all options are open on Iran!
●Kerry says nuclear deal with Iran close at hand.
●Obama makes the most idiotic statement ever! "Israeli peace and security depends on the setting up of a Palestinian state within Israel."
How to prepare yourself for the days ahead:
Many things in life give you a second chance. Thank God He gives us many second chances also. But there is no second chance once we have stepped into eternity. Most people do not grasp the gravity of this fact. Everything you have ever done now is wrapped up and we receive eternal reward or loss of reward.
Our eternal state and position in the eternal Kingdom of God is set and decided by what we did with our God-given lives while we were here on earth. We are rewarded for what we did in obedience to our Lord. People will not be rewarded for a "glass of water given", but for a "glass of water given in His name" We will be rewarded for how we responded to and fulfilled God's plan for each of us.
Your eternal safety:
Don't underestimate these words for one second! In the coming days of outpoured deception, the love of the truth and a soft heart before our Lord will be your safety. Your personal love of the truth will cause our Lord to reveal truth to you in dimensions related to your love for truth.
If you go with the opinions of the world and even many churches you are in trouble. The verse below is part of a wider end-time discourse. It is the tragedy of our time.
Isaiah 59:14 "...Truth is fallen in the street"
If you, in your foolishness walk over Gods inspired truth, He is not obligated to give you truth. In fact He will make sure you are deluded! I know some of you can't believe that, but here it is:
2 Thessalonians 2:11 "For this reason (they didn't receive the love of the truth) God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie."
You see, God is in the deluding and blinding business. That's to those who are proud and self-willed! Tragically, many churches have elevated their own doctrines above God's word and they are now deluded. The result is a divided kingdom and you know where that ends!
Famine and poverty:
No this is not about the starving masses, it is about the great majority of believers who are starving to death in spiritual terms, and don't even know it. In most cases they have themselves to blame for allowing it, but it is also the shallow shepherds who are just as responsible.
Amos 8:11-12 "The days are coming says the Lord God, that I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the words of the Lord...They shall run to and fro seeking the word of the Lord, but will not find it."
Deuteronomy 8:3 "...Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord."
Proverbs 27:12 "A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, the simple pass on and are punished."
Today pastors won't take a stand because they are success orientated and not full-truth orientated. In fact they must deny a large part of the Bible. There's a huge difference between a pastor with a shepherd's heart and a company CEO, with dollar signs in his eyes! A further reason why pastors won't take a stand especially on issues like Israel is that Satan has blinded them to it
The spoon-fed believers of today are starved of life-giving truth. They are carbon-copies of what and who has fed them. They have just enough nice happy word to fit neatly into modern society.
I know a number of Christians who have been saved for many years, but they are half-baked. They know and regurgitate the same stuff all the time. They ignore the deep things of God.
Many churches are useless in preparing you to be a Kingdom member (no divisions). Most churches are professional institutions and run just like a business. They are subject to those who pay their salaries and fill their buildings on Sundays. They dare not rock the boat too much. Like a business, they are in opposition to their "competitors."
It's in their interests to teach prosperity and how you can be successful in the world, but they do not teach how to "hate your life in the world" and how to "deny self" and how to come out and be separate. Or how about this as a sermon topic for your modern prosperity preachers:
1 John 2:15-16 (Amp) "Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh (the craving for sensual gratification) and the lust of the eyes (greedy longing for more) and the pride of life (assurance in one's own recourses or in the stability of earthly things)- these do not come from the Father, but are of the world itself."
(I have no problem with Biblical prosperity, simply because it is founded on Bible verses. I have a huge problem with what is not preached and taught to create balance.)
Hosea 7:8-9 "Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake unturned (half- baked). Aliens (strangers) have devoured his strength, but he does not know it."
The verse above is so brilliant isn't it? A cake unturned is half-baked and cooked on one side only. These people with a selected gospel, are worldly, and weak in true spiritual terms and they don't even know it! They fit in so well with the world's standards.
Humility and the Fear of the Lord:
Revelation 21:4 "God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."
Tears of regret and suffering lead to tears of repentance, which lead to tears of joy! Have you ever known desperation? I have. Many times I've been desperate to know my Lord more deeply and to encounter Him in a deeper way.
These are perhaps the two most important attributes that we need to be right with God, (humility and fear of the Lord). The opposite is what have all around us in the world and much of the church. Pride in all its manifestations is the order of the day. Self-confidence and delusional self-importance is the antithesis of the fear of the Lord.
Brokenness and humility are little known in Christendom today. If you have never been broken to the point of tears before our Lord, in the reality of His presence, you are on thin ice.
Nahum 1:8 "Darkness will pursue His enemies".
Psalm 36:9 "In your light we see light."
Some personal testimony:
I share this as testimony alone with no personal pride at all.
As regular readers are aware, I believe we are heading for a tribulation start at Rosh Hashanah next year. If you believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, as I do (cautiously) that means we have very little time left.
Here are some of my own deep thoughts. If time is so limited, I am inspired and driven to walk in holiness. I desire it with a passion. I desire forgiveness for every sin I have ever committed. I desire, so much to know my Lord, Messiah and great God more deeply and intimately. I want to know every single aspect of His word now. I want all truth and no error! I have an unquenchable "fire" burning in my bones to be right with God.
I hate the world's ways more and more, but I also have a deep desire for the unsaved to come to know our Lord.
As a life-time artist, journalist and photographer, I live in a visual world. I have a vivid imagination. But this imagination mixed with Biblical truth ignites that fire in my bones. I see visions of incredible glory and wonder and I'm brought down in humility and fear.
Just the thought of the being in the presence of my Lord is wonderful and really scary at the same time. I can do nothing but extol, magnify and worship the all-powerful Elohim, the judge of all, the warrior of warriors, shattering His enemies in great destruction, and the lover and comforter of my soul.
Love, peace and absolute beauty forever, are the end result of loving this great God.
Psalm 119:18 "Open my eyes that I might see wondrous things from your word."
Prayer life:
My prayer life has changed also in the light of these end times. I have become more diligent and more desperate in my prayer. My prayer life these days includes little for myself. My daily prayer includes an appeal for our great Saviour to keep me in His truth, safe from deception and always radical and different. I pray that my Lord keeps me from fitting in with the masses and finding acceptance with the world at large. "Lord keep me odd and strange" (to the world) is my appeal.
My prayer life centres on all readers who have an open heart to our Lord. If I may be privileged to help people draw closer to our God and be ready for Him, then I am exceedingly grateful. Just like you, our prayer lives dictate where we go with our Lord. I am always thankful in my prayer for my Lord's mercy and grace and also thankful that a number of people hate me and this publication.
The glorious old-school preachers:
The images above (top left to right) represent the apostles Paul, Peter, Matthew and John, painted by Rembrandt. As I look into the faces of these men of God, it brings a tear to my eye. These are your brothers in the Lord.
These men suffered great opposition and persecution, which initially rocked their faith, but as they opened their hearts to the Spirit of the living God, they were transformed into spiritual giants, eventually giving their lives for our Lord.
In the midst of it all the persecution of that day there were many mighty men of God, who stood apart from the masses and like the disciples, upheld God's standard of truth.
The crucifixion produced the resurrection. In your own life my friends, it is cross-death that produces resurrection life in the Spirit!
It isn't intellectual study of the Bible that will transform you. It is Spirit-led study that will transform a broken and contrite heart hungry for truth!
The old school deceivers:
The images above (top left to right) represent the Roman Constantine, Origen of Alexander, Martin Luther and John Calvin.
The so-called early-church fathers were also subject to satanic opposition like the disciples, but they yielded to the forces of Babylon. They became Jew-haters and formed huge counterfeit churches full of their own self-will and occult traditions.
There are dozens more so-called early church fathers. They are highly esteemed by many spiritual fools. Every one of them created a division in the church which later became a denomination. There are a number of consistent characteristics among all of them. They all rejected the baptism of the Spirit. They were all anti-Semitic Jew haters. They each had a part to play in the development of anti-Israel Replacement Theology and the modern fractured, powerless, fleshly church.
Are you on the right track?
Hosea 14:5 "I will be like the dew (talya) to Israel..."
"Talya": This is a wonderful Hebrew word. It means "the dew of heaven". Do you have the "dew of heaven" nourishing your life? This dew will transform you and invigorate you! If you know this dew you will produce heavenly fruit.
To know if you are on the right track there are many measures, none of which are other believers or churches. These are the big ticket items:
●Is the world system and its ways becoming less and less of an attraction and influence in your life?
●Do you see the world system as your enemy?
●Are you still dominated by self-will, self-obsession and gratification? Are you a control freak?
●What do you think about most of the time? Are your thoughts a clean sanctuary? Do you have chains of thought that line up with the fruits of the Spirit?
●Do you see and recognise demonic forces, can you identify them and can you deal with them?
●Can you see the signs of the times and the season we are in?
●Do you have a burning desire to know our Lord more deeply?
●Do you have an urgent desire to see others saved and rescued out of this world?
The superficial will be swept away:
You must be Spirit-formed and informed in these dangerous days of fast rising ignorance and its twin - deception.
As we head into these dangerous end-times, the Spirit of the living God desires to and will draw many people into the kingdom of God, but it is not automatic. So many will go blind and unprepared into this world of spiritual conflict and end up being deceived.
Few will be saved and many lost. That is a clear Biblical principle revealed in numerous passages.
Just like a tree with shallow roots, when the storm comes it will be uprooted. There is only one way to deepen and strengthen your spiritual root system and that is to be fully open to all of God's word, to love it, study it and know it well. You must see the fullness of God's word as more important than the food you need to live on.
Job 23:12 "I have not departed from the commandment of His lips, I have treasured His word more than my necessary food."
Psalm 119:89 "Forever, O Lord Your word is settled in heaven."
A tragic figure:
I know an individual who goes to a denominational church. He thinks he is saved because he believes in Jesus and is full of good works. The man is filled with self-will and manipulation to produce control. I can often see the hatred in his eyes.
Let's see what the Bible says.
Firstly, believing in Yeshua / Jesus will not save you. The Bible says even the demons believe and shudder at their future. Salvation comes from the specific new-birth and unless you die just then, you must be adult water-baptised and Spirit-baptised as soon as possible after the new birth.
The Bible says that "you shall know them by their fruits". Galatians chapter five lists the fruits of the Spirit and the fruits of the flesh (unsaved). Not all of them would be evident all the time, but you can identify a person by at least a selection of these fruits.
Galatians 5:22 "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."
Galatians 5:19 "The works of the flesh are adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, idolatry, hatred,, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissentions, heresies, envy, murder, drunkenness , revelries and the like."
This man I know is a murderer and adulterer according to the verse above. He may not have murdered yet, but he has done so in mind and thought. Hatred goes hand in hand with selfishness and a me-now orientation. A self-orientation goes hand in hand with taking, while love and giving go hand in hand.
A new believer can produce bad fruit for a while, but if he is truly saved the right fruits will become evident.
The reason I share this is so that you can help others whom you know in the same situation.
Excuse me for sharing this, but it may be helpful to some. Lately I have been receiving a whole lot of strange, frightening "visions". On numerous occasions while in my car or out somewhere, the thought of some individuals I know has come into my mind just like normal. But a strange terrifying "word" and vision has accompanied it. This is the word:
Isaiah 14:9 "Hell from beneath is excited about you, to meet you at your coming; it stirs up the dead for you."
Now, I'm not given to visions and things like this generally, although I'm open to them with discernment. These visions are about people I know well. Some are so-called believers and others not.
The so-called believers are superficial in their faith, proclaiming to be believers, but in their lifestyles are anything but!
My point is that you need to be extra diligent and radical in your belief. You need to be fully Bible-based (all of it) and not just selected, nice happy stuff.
►The road to hell is paved with fathers, mothers, priests, reverends, bishops, minsters, politicians and celebrities!
What you can do:
●You must separate yourself from the opinions of the masses, including the church masses.
●You must set your heart after our great King and Lord alone and don't accept the half-baked, selected, half-poisoned "meals" dished out by the modern clergy.
●You must be radical in your pursuit of our Messiah and allow Him to do His severe, cleansing work in you, delivering you to glorious resurrection life on the other side of the cross.
●You must know and operate in spiritual discernment in these days.
●You must be filled with humility before our Lord and with passion for Him and His word, AND you must be filled with resistance and antagonism to the devil. You must hate and resist his word.
At the end of the day, if our Lord is delayed and is not returning soon and you have applied all these things, what would you have lost? If our Lord is coming soon and you do not have your life right, you just might regret it forever!
This is not the time to be complacent and carry on living like there are a million tomorrows! Don't be like the masses of the ancient "days of Noah" and the modern "days of Noah." – You will regret it!
Isaiah 62:1 "For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth like brightness and her salvation as a lamp that burns."
Isaiah 62:6 "I have set watchmen on your walls O Jerusalem, who shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord do not keep silent."
Romans 11:25 "For I do not desire that you should be ignorant brethren of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own opinion, that hardening in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the gentiles has come in."
I took this picture of this spectacular, beautiful, deeply-rooted, ancient Wild Fig tree near my home. It actually grew over a house, which has long since disappeared, but the tree stands securely! In these days your spiritual "beauty" will be directly related to your depth of root in our Lord.
Psalm 96:11-13 "Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: Let the sea roar and all its fullness; Let the field be joyful and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the Lord, for He is coming. He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with His truth."
Shalom and grow in grace!

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone here owns a completely unblemished iPhone 5? I am now on my fifth iPhone 5 (white); each one has come out of the box with either scratches/marks on the back, nicks in the edges or both. I'm hoping that if I persist I will eventually get one that is ok. I've seen some posts here from people who accept these marks, but, personally, I think if something costs £699 it should be perfect out of the box. Cheers, Luke
My third white iPhone 5 is perfect. No blemishes or scratches whatsoever. Did have a little bit of blue glue on the back, but it easily came off with a damp cloth corner.
32GB iPhone 5 white, perfect condition out of the box. I've dinged it a touch myself but nothing major or noticeable unless you know to really look for that spot.
Had the blue glue marks on a couple too. Good to know people are getting faultless ones - fingers crossed the next one will be ok!
No phone is going to be "perfect" especially if you're looking for things that may be wrong with it. Mine is "unblemished" but I'm sure if I handed it to you, you would find a ton of things "wrong" with it.
My second one (black/slate) was perfect. First one had dents, scratches, glue and the 2 back glass pieces were too small.
Got mine, was perfect. The on/off button started freaking out, so I got a new one at the store. it too was perfect. but it won't be for long. It's a phone. It gets used, tossed, thrown in pockets, in bags, put on tables. i understand it's new, and expensive, but sometimes you have to realize that it will never be perfect, and if it is, then it will soon no longer be perfect. enjoy the phone. forget about the blemish.
I got one today. I returned two other but missed them after three week back with my 4 I couldn't take it. Walked into a AT&T and they had them in stock. I'm very happy to say the least.
I just bought my iPhone 5 today, the black version, just bought it 3 hours ago. I believe that there's phone out there without scuffs. But I also believe the iPhone 5 can come with scuffs straight out of the box as evidenced by my iPhone 5.
Wirelessly posted Prefect here. White 16g . I bought it at the apple store in Ann Arbor, Mi. FYI if you buy from the retail store they let you open it in front of them and inspect. Honestly, a small scuff would probably not even been on my radar. It's a phone I use every day and some love marks give it personality.
My Black 16 GB was perfect without blemishes or scratches. After two weeks of usage, with silicone bumper/case from first minute, I today noticed that an appr. 1x1 mm "flake" has been chipped out under the bumper just at the volume buttons on the chamfered bezel. It doesn't affect the usage and it won't be noticed since it's under the bumper though.
Join the club, Luke ... I saw the title of your post and thought "someone's had a result!" ... but then I read the content of your post Check out my own threads ... you're not alone, mate. Are you returning to the online store, or a retail store?
As far as I could tell, my phone was picture perfect out of the box, though I don't seem to suffer from "pathologic Apple user OCD syndrome". My phone was just fine out of the box. The scuffs on it have all come from me.

Years active | 1984–present |

Joe Thomas (born 1956/1957)[1] is an American producer, director, businessman, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter based in Chicago.[2] He is known for musical collaborations and subsequent lawsuits pertaining to musician-songwriter Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys.[3] Thomas was also a wrestler formerly known under the name Buddy Love.[1]
Since the 2000s, he has produced and directed several live performance DVDs for artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Dave Matthews Band, Bon Jovi, and Stevie Nicks, in addition to directing over 100 episodes of the television show Soundstage.[citation needed]
In the 1980s, he established River North Records. At the time it was the largest full service audio recording facility in Chicago.[citation needed] By 1991 Thomas was running River North Recorders as well as Platinum Entertainment, a subsidiary of PolyGram. As president of Platinum, Thomas recorded and/or produced the Beach Boys, Peter Cetera, Willie Nelson, Toby Keith, and Alan Parsons, among others.[citation needed] Platinum Entertainment went public in 1997.[citation needed]
Thomas left Platinum in early 1997 and began producing and co-writing Brian Wilson's Imagination for Giant Records. He also served as musical director, co-producer and promoter of Wilson's first world tour.[citation needed] In 1999, Wilson filed a suit against Thomas, seeking damages and a declaration which freed him to work on his next album without involvement from Thomas.[4] The suit was made after Thomas allegedly began to raise his industry profile and wrongfully enrich himself through his association with Wilson. Thomas reciprocated with a suit citing that Brian's wife and manager Melinda Ledbetter "schemed against and manipulated" him and Brian. The case was settled out of court.[5] According to AllMusic: "The live DVD productions that were eventually released after the partnership of Wilson and Thomas went south are apparently studied in some recording classes as examples of how performers can be edited out of a production, specifically Thomas and his frequent collaborator Steve Dahl."[3]
Thomas began working in video in 2000. Forming Kurtis HD Partners with veteran Chicago television journalist Bill Kurtis, Thomas produced high definition hard news documentaries for several networks, including A&E, PBS, and NBC. One year later, he co-founded the production company HD Ready, LLC.[citation needed]
In 2012, Thomas, along with John Branca and Tony Dimitriades, helped orchestrate the 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour of the Beach Boys.[citation needed] In the same year, Thomas co-wrote, recorded and mixed the Beach Boys' 29th studio album, That's Why God Made the Radio as well as directed and produced the hour-long television documentary The Beach Boys: Doin' It Again.[citation needed] He returned to co-produce the Beach Boys' Live – The 50th Anniversary Tour, which was widely criticized for its autotuned vocals.[6][7] Thomas again co-produced Wilson's solo album No Pier Pressure (2015); in several reviews, Thomas' contributions were a significant object of criticism.[8][9][10][11][12] In 2015, Wilson denied using autotune in his work.[13]
Since Soundstage, Thomas has also directed and produced a string of new music concert specials airing on PBS called Front Row Center.[citation needed]

IV-Ease Transportation System
invented by Gray Eggleston
( winner )
IV-Ease Transportation System
The IV-Ease Transportation System is a four-part invention designed to facilitate the transportation of critically ill hospital patients and their intravenous infusions.
About the Inventor
Gray has been a nurse for 28 years, and for 20 of those years he has worked in intensive care. He currently works at St George Private Hospital.
For more information about IV-Ease Transportation System, contact the following:
Online Discussion
Read what others have said or have your say.
Gray has first hand experience of patient transfers, which he found cumbersome and potentially dangerous. A keen amateur engineer, he put his passion and knowledge into developing a better patient transfer system.
The IV-Ease Transportation System is a four-part system which works, in conjunction with freestanding IV poles, to make transporting critically ill patients faster and easier.
The invention includes a clamp on the patient bed, a built in spigot for the clamp, feet which fold up off the ground when patients are transported, and a retractable, tube-like attachment, which allows the system to be used by wheelchair bound patients.
When a patient needs to be transferred, their IV pole containing the monitoring equipment and drips is attached to the transfer bed using the IV-Ease clamp on the bed, and the complimentary spigot on the IV pole. The bed is then raised, which causes the feet to fold out of the way. The patient is then transported.
At the destination, the bed is lowered, the feet fold out, and the pole simply functions as a normal IV pole.

Worst Director: Dennis Dugan (veteran of Adam Sandler movies such as "Happy Gilmore," "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry," "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" and "Grown Ups").
Yes, this is all so silly that the mind boggles, but let's start with the premise itself: What is the correlation between reviews and careers in Hollywood? Adam Sandler and Michael Bay wouldn't look much more impressive than Shyamalan if you looked only at reviews. And the Slate piece is riddled with misconceptions about the Tomatometer:
What makes the data from Rotten Tomatoes so brutal is that they depict not just one person's opinion of Shyamalan but the collective assessment of all our cultural critics. [...]
The site even aggregates archived reviews from films that were released in the 1990s and before. Whether you're looking at contemporary cinema or the classics, the Tomatometer can serve as shorthand for a film's critical reception, if not its box office success.
"All our cultural critics"? "Contemporary cinema or the classics"? Well, at least it gets this part right:
The Rotten Tomatoes website, created in 1999, aggregates reviews from hundreds of newspapers and websites across the country, converts each review into a thumbs-up ("fresh") or thumbs-down ("rotten") rating, and then combines those assessments into a single "Tomatometer" rating that gives the percentage of positive reviews.
And that's the source of another inequity. Who determines what constitutes a positive or negative review? That depends. If a critic uses some kind of ratings system (stars, a numerical system, letter grades) then anything above 50 percent would be considered "fresh." (And the average of all ratings must be 60 percent for the film to keep a "fresh" rating.) Which means that, on a four-star scale like the one Roger Ebert uses (much to his chagrin), 0 to 2 stars is "rotten" and 2.5 to 4 stars is "fresh."
At Metacritic, another review-aggregating site, at least an attempt is made to assign each review a numerical score between 0 and 100. So, on that same four-star scale, 2 stars would be 50 and 3 stars would be 75. The "Metascore" is simply the average of all those numbers. (Also, RT includes many unknown bloggers and online outlets, while MC "distills the opinions of the most respected critics writing online and in print...".)
But both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic have to assign values (fresh or rotten at RT; 0-100 at MC) to reviews that aren't accompanied by measurable ratings, and that's where things get even slipperier. Let's take "Super 8," for example. As I write this it has an 83 percent rating from 193 reviews (160 fresh and 33 rotten) on RT (and a 72 on MC). Selecting the All Critics tab (sorted by Most Recent, which is the default), the first three reviews are from BrandonFibbs.com, Mountain Xpress and Q Network Film Desk. Selecting the Top Critics tab gives you Tom Long of the Detroit News at top, followed by Lisa Kennedy of the Denver Post and James Berardinelli of ReelViews. (Dana Stevens of Slate is next, which reminds me: Why isn't Stephanie Zacharek, formerly of Salon, now of Movieline, also considered a "Top Critic"?)
Peter Howell of the Toronto Star gave "Super 8" 2.5 stars out of 4 and is quoted on the RT site: "Abrams fashions 'Super 8' in such a calculating manner, with every element weighed both for maximum nostalgia value and ironic hipster cred, that it has an artificial feel to it. It's like a birthday cake made of spun glass." This appears as a "fresh" review, though it may not sound like one. So does Rick Groen's 2.5-star Toronto Globe and Mail, represented by the quote: "It's the child actors, heroic indeed, who rescue 'Super 8' from the blockbuster grip of its adult makers."
The New York Times doesn't use a scale, but A.O. Scott's decidedly mixed review is considered "fresh": "Attempts the difficult feat of balancing self-consciousness about the olden days with wide-eyed, headlong, present-tense fun. For about an hour it succeeds marvelously. The modest letdown that follows exposes the limitations of Mr. Abrams's imagination."
You get the idea. A review that trashes the film gets the same rotten rating as one that finds it a near-miss. A rave is just as "fresh" as a lukewarm approval.
I find the Rotten Tomatoes site (and its predecessor, Movie Review Query Engine, or MRQE) useful in helping me to find reviews and information about individual titles in one spot. I can glance at a page and see who has reviewed a movie and then click over to read the entire review. (Google still can't sort search results for movie reviews that finely!) But none of this really has anything to do with monitoring or comparing Hollywood career trajectories. For that we still have palm readers and TMZ. The Tomatometer is a reliable way of measuring Tomatometer ratings. That's about it.

New Delhi, May 2 (IBNS) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday called Sarabjit Singh, the Indian prisoner in Pakistan jail who succumbed late last night to severe head injuries he sustained from an attack in the prison, a brave son of India who bore his tribulations with fortitude.
"I am deeply saddened by the passing away of Sarabjit Singh. He was a brave son of India who bore his tribulations with valiant fortitude," said the Prime Minister in his statement even as he was facing the flak for a "diplomatic failure" of India to bring back the Indian alive here.

Similar Wide Leg Pants | Knit Tank | Longline Blazer | White Pumps
My white wide leg pants are one of my absolute favorite items in my closet. I could reach for them for pretty much any occasion and pair them with basically any blouse in my wardrobe, but my favorite way to style them is with an all neutral look.
The day we took these pictures, it was a bit "cool" (and by cool I mean maybe not 100 degrees), so I jumped at the opportunity to wear my pants as I had been dying to try this outfit out. I love how the bone color of the simple knit tank and long line blazer pairs with the white pants.
It's a look a will be wearing over and over. Also, I will most definitely be wearing these pants after Labor Day…even though they are white.

These golden oldies come to "crèche" every day, where they are cared for like kiddies, complete with snack time, play time and nap time.
Just like a crèche, Nosipho Peter-Mabandla, 56, has a daily timetable for her 37 "students" which includes exercises and learning new skills.
The Langa mom has been running her daycare for pensioners for years – all out of her own pocket, and through generous donations from her community.
She started the Masibambane Sibuyise Isidima Setu Daycare Centre five years ago, after seeing how the elderly were being neglected.
"I saw a need because we have situations where the older person is left alone at home while their children work, and at some homes there are no children [they live alone]," she says.
"I thought to myself, like our children are being cared for at crèche, our senior citizens need to be cared at a daycare."
Today Nosipho looks after pensioners between the ages of 60 and 83.
She makes sure they are fed, have social interaction and take their medication, but stops short of changing nappies, she laughs.
The daycare opens at 10am, and everyone leaves at 4pm.
It is located at the South African Red Cross Society building, which charges Nosipho rent.
This is the only reason why she asks her students to pay a monthly fee of R50, she says.
Nosipho, who is married with four children, says society as a whole needs to look after the elderly.
"They sacrificed for our families and the country, and the government forgets them with a R1 500 every month."
But her good Samaritan work takes a lot of hard work and money.
She began selling food along the road to make ends meet.
"I would buy chicken feet and sell it and I started buying rice and chicken livers.
"Today, I have a tax number but we receive no help from government."
She says routine is important at the daycare, and breakfast, lunch, exercises, games and arts and crafts to keep the fingers and mind nimble, are all done according to schedule.
In between, they take their medisyne, which is carefully measured.
The oldest "student", Alfred Adams, 83, is a keen pupil who loves the aerobics.
"If there wasn't a place like this I would be sitting at home," he says.
"I have no hearing aid and I cannot see in my left eye."
Father Mike Williams of the Anglican Catholic Church, who works in the community, regularly brings a pot of soup, bread and meat for the daycare.
"I think this is fantastic because older persons are being helped and treated with respect," he says.
If you'd like to help Nosipho, contact her on 083 370 5929.

Looks like I started a for sale Frenzy....
Maybe we should create 1 thread that says FS (for sale) and everything people want to sell can use just that post. And anyone looking to buy stuff can use 1 thread worded WTB..(wanted to buy).
Just a suggestion....I see most other forums run this way.
Results 1 to 5 of 5
Thread: FS: Frenzy
FS: Frenzy
No sh1t. 3/4's of the recent threads are about items for sale.
I originally, had a separate classifieds section for each region, but no one was looking at it. Occasionally people would post there, but then not many people would intentionally go there. Having people just post in here seems to work better, but I dont know, I'll continue to think about if there is a better way to do it.
Don't have different sections for each region, seems like not enough total for sale or wanting to buy things, but just one. In the For Sale, have threads start with the user choosing their region, then the thread title would read
"Mid Atlantic: 5/4/3 Xcel" or whatever or
"California North: ..."

The definitive inside and titillating view of the seductive world of strippers, narrated in the stunning seductive voice of the incomparable DeAnn DeVille.
"Where's the ending?"
The author introduces to many characters for such a short story and doesn't leave you with an ending for each character. She should of either made the book longer or not introduced so many characters and embellished several charactor stories. It was interesting and I did enjoy it up to how it ends.
I totally enjoy a well written novel with a great narrator!
"Sex, Lies & Pole Dancing"
Yes, the narrator was awesome
I would have to say Starlet Santana, her self liking and money motivation made her one of the best characters in volume 1. I can't wait until volume 2 comes out just to see what mayhem she wonders into or rather what hotel room she wonders into next. Crystal wasn't a main character however I liked her for her straightforward wretched ways.
DEVILLE seem to handle narration with ease and the parts were rather difficult being the characters switched so often.I will have to give her an A on narration
This story revolved around an Adult Entertainment nightclub however it was nice that the writer built the story outside the building as well. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and I'm truly excited and anticipate the second volume.

Conditioning regimen consisting of cyclosporine A, rituximab, a short course of corticosteroids, and MEDI-507, followed by bone marrow and kidney transplantation occurring at the same time
Drug: MEDI-507
T-cell depleting antibody
Procedure: Combined kidney and bone marrow transplant
kidney and bone marrow transplant from same donor
Drug: Cyclosporine A
Drug: Rituximab
B-cell suppressor
Drug: Corticosteroids
Detailed Description:
Of the two currently available treatments for kidney failure, long-term dialysis and kidney transplantation, only kidney transplantation provides a potential cure. After a kidney transplant, the body's immune system recognizes the kidney as foreign and tries to attack and destroy it in a process called rejection. To avoid rejection, patients must take medications called immunosuppressants or anti-rejection drugs. It is believed that by transplanting bone marrow at the same time as a solid organ such as a kidney, a state of "mixed chimerism" (a mixing of the donor and recipient's immune system) can be achieved. Mixed chimerism may prevent rejection without the need for anti-rejection drugs.
Patients in this study will receive a simultaneous bone marrow and kidney transplant from the same living related donor in an attempt to establish mixed chimerism. Prior to transplantation, patients will undergo a "conditioning regimen" involving cyclophosphamide chemotherapy, radiation to the thymus gland, and four immunosuppressive medications: cyclosporine A, a man-made antibody known as rituximab to suppress B cells, a short course of steroids, and a T-cell depleting antibody known as MEDI-507. MEDI-507 is an investigational medication that has not been approved by the FDA. The primary goal of the study is to investigate the safety of the conditioning regimen and its ability to promote mixed chimerism so that the transplanted kidney is not destroyed. The study will also determine whether patients with mixed chimerism can eventually be safely removed from long-term immunosuppressive therapy following transplantation.
Patients will be assessed before and after transplantation and will be actively followed for 24 months. Patients will be monitored for graft rejection and medication toxicity. After Month 24, the study will continue with an additional 36 months of medical record-based surveillance.
