The county I live in is the number one spot for the illegals to move right now. The neighborhoods are being hit with the displaced criminals who were brought up out of Katrina and a huge wave of illegals. Right now, the quiet bird singing culd-a-sac is being boomed out by rap music, the one house has maybe I dunno 15 young men of whom there are no adults, and a 17 year old girl in a home with a baby where her parents come now and then. She invites about 20 or more people over everyday, and they cover her front yard. Then, the cars come down racing and boom-boom music. These homes were owned by good people. Now, it is like South Central LA in a suburb. We have over an acre, a huge deck, in-ground pool and three bedrooms, garage and basement. These kind-of woodsy areas never had people spray painting gang signs on their HOMES/fences. It is like city-scum (no offense to wonderful city dwellers) came to the burbs and just are out-of-control. We have never had police in the 'hood, but we had cop cars here planning to go to a "Grow house" up over the hill in the neighborhood. We are like sitting ducks for these highly developed professional criminals and the non-english speaking thieves that have invaded and yes, I mean INVADED our quiet country neighborhood after we opened up our town to help the hurricane victums. IT is a problem that runs through-out "the county" and most of the areas outside of Atlanta that are affordable. We moved to the country (woodsy, bird singing, long drive to the city - country) to avoid the traps of the city. And nobody saw this illegal problem hitting with the fury it hit us. I called the cops and there are 1500 REGISTERED gang members in the little county, and yes there are some MS13 he said (the most violent Spanish gang) Just NOW like 2 months ago we have pit bulls roaming and low rider cars with ethnic music blaring riding around picking them up. I do not want the whole conversation to run to predjudice, we have two GREAT ethnic neighbors. One just put her house up for sale and the other is preparing. My only thing is move - or pray out the crime. The police are no help. I like Johnny's area, but the home cost --- woooo, not what I thought ----ouch Anyway, we are looking to move.

Sudo What a great idea, maybe we can all chip in and buy an island? It is so sad the Chinese even went into homes and grabbed pets and clubbed them to death

Good feed back, thanks

A brief aside --- Look at how they deal with rabies instead of vaccinations they killed ALL the dogs by clubbing them to death -- even pets, only police guard dogs were spared -- yes, let's get our pet food - or any food products for pets from them Chinese club to death 50,000 dogs http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14139027/ SHANGHAI, China - China slaughtered 50,000 dogs in a government-ordered crackdown after three people died of rabies, sparking unusually pointed criticism in state media Tuesday and an outcry from animal rights activists. More pet stuff http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18096481/site/newsweek/

Should we import things from these countries? http://www.shanghaidaily.com/sp/article/20...icle_314109.htm MORE than 50 children were poisoned by a kindergarten breakfast in central China, state media said today, in the latest case highlighting problems in the country's food supply chain. Should we be importing food from China? I thought they were a country we SENT food to --- After the Pet food recall I think we need to rethink our food supply

Waysider if only there really was an OZ, except for those annoying munchkins, I would love to befriend a strawman, lion and tin man Kit is it HOT there? Mo - I looked at Oregon before and it was compelling. How is the weather? Bramble is there employment in out of the way places like that -- or do I need to have been born rich? Rottie Florida has a bunch of fugitives I dunno about Alaska But with Global warming Alaska sounds good. Will my car start in the winter?

These cities are looking good, I will check into them better. Johnny, if I made $16.00 an hour -- well what is the cost of living and how do I get hired? Homes? How much and will I freeze to death?

Wrd Funny, but most or some people would think after he prayed -- well, I guess God didn't want to touch that problem, or I guess he didn't get revvy on it. Ya know, pulling a negative. Or Wayisms -- maybe I wasn't good enough or BELIEVING enough -- all the old crap. Awful how TWI even made prayer hard, condemning, or even mechanical. I was very into prayer long before TWI so my damage in that area was minimal. I was lucky. (In othe areas, I was the worst -- like when they pushed me toward suicide, I had such little self-worth -- I guess I thought it might be a good thing.) Anyway, I figured he prayed for everything he was suppose to pray for, and it turns out he prayed on CAUSE rather than effect. I am seeing a lot of deliverance I did not expect. God is Great! Polar bear Got the giggles on that one.

We want to move where 1. English is the primary if not the only language spoken. (Accents are okay) 2. We want to live where crime is low 3. Where there are no gangs or they are so few they did not go into the burbs 4. Where the Katrina criminals did not end up (Some folks fine, but the criminals hit certain areas and the crime spiked, and they do not want to go back, our crime is soaring as a result of our town housing "them") 5. Where maybe there is an older community so we are not dealing with teens 6. Where I can still work and I need to make more than I am now 7. Prefer some place without a lot of humidity 8. Where I can still have a gun for protection 9. If possible near water; lake or ocean 10. Where people have teeth. And no appliances on their porch 11. Where water is drank more than beer 12. Where single family homes only house SINGLE families 13. Where cars are transportaion and not lawn decorations Without time travel -- I cannot return to the 50's or 60's. So, what do you think? Any ideas? Thank you

Geesh

That was beautiful. I know the pain of the loss of friends as well, so do many of us. Thanks

22nd corps... What year did the corps end. They don't still do that do they? Anyone know what happened to Greg and Linda Rogers? I loved them. Also Jane Decker?

So Son of the Master, what do you think?

Yes this has always bothered me as well.... So, what was lost with the first sin? A different spirit? The HS upon them as taught? And the spirit of man is something given with the birth of each human as Son is saying? Seems to make sense.

Happy Birthday!

Wow Eagle People act like that and then really believe they are standing for God. Geesh

Sorry for the slight turn off the exact topic!

How old is she?

Sirguessalot, I am still reading and rereading this. It is deep. And I see what you are saying

Wow She is lucky you are her MOM!!!

Thanks Isn't that the coolest? Even the dentist was shocked. I was not acting like a crazy person -- he was saying you're okay? So cool huh? I also told the dentist about the prayer. He is also hubs dentist and knows of the seizures -- I told him about your prayer and what you saw -- he thinks I should tell the neurologist. Dentist here comes a calm patient! Woooo Wooo It was GREAT!!! I mean nothing like you teaching in India, but certainly awesome for me!

Rev. Lingo That is an amazing story. And it proved out. Wonder if God told BG to go to TWI that day. Wonder ifyou were to "hear" that to in part share it here. It is big to me. It is God. Seems like he was talking about more than the music....

Like an Eagle (and Son of the Master) Well, anyone who really knows me knows I have been claustrophobic and that fear manifests itself at the dentist more than any other place. I have gotten out of the chair and ran to the office area, I have pulled crap out of my mouth in a panic -- I have been a Pain in the A. The panic and inability to breath just grabs me. I pray. But almost a rapid prayer of panic, rather than a request, or a confident claiming of a promise. I am a mess. I have been having more and more panic attacks since my husband’s seizure -- where in a postictle haze -- he came after me. After Son of the Master prayed for me, he did not say all that I wrote above - nor did he know it, but he prayed for peace and many other things I never told him. Today, I went to the dentist. They had stuff in my mouth, the needle that makes me feel as though I cannot swallow, and of course, giant man hands in there. For the first time, THE FIRST TIME, I was at peace. I was calm. Something that used to panic me was absent. And I was rejoicing to Jesus where I used to panic rapid pray to keep my sanity. I know this is a result of the prayer Son of the Master prayed for me. It is the only difference, the holy difference in my life. The miracles keep on coming. Thank you Jesus! Yeah Listener, upon first reading it looked like another hard "corp" post. But knowing him helped, and having been prayed for by him had me know that I KNOW... So- to- speak. So, I reread it and saw what he was saying. I am glad you are cool enough to do the same. I think you guys are great and I love how things were discussed. God is good. Sometimes, I wish the posts were audible so we could hear people. (((Listener))) (((Son of the Master)))

Bolshevik Do you pray out loud privately? First, it feels funny. Then, it feels wonderful. I am so sorry TWI robbed you of such a fundamental gift. The communication with our God. Take that "right" back.... WOW, the veil was ripped in half so we could walk into the holy of holies. You have the right to speak to God, in private, out loud and where you want. He wants to hear your beautiful expression of your heart, or your needs, you pray Bolshevik - he will love to hear you. And I do know, in TWI's scream fest, they did more damage to people... We had to be "perfect" according to LCM, or local corps idiots. Years ago, there was an album VP did (I am not a fan of VP but the example fits here) called All Aboard and he spoke of how this guy prayed a simple prayer and I believe he put oil on his face (correct me if I am wrong) and was healed of cancer. God is a good God. TWI was or became an insidious way to rob us of God's love. Your lovely voice should be heard.

Listener I know here and there we have someone get on here and almost speak about God's love as if to say we have not experienced it. Or they speak of prayer in a manner that comes across like we are lost and not praying. But now and then someone arrives who really does love God and really does have power in their lives. Sometimes we (I) wait to see how it is going to go.... I know Son. Listener, he recently prayed for me in a manner I have almost never been prayed for like that. With the exception of the Guy from Greece and a few others, I have never wept continually through a prayer because I was getting delivered while being prayed for. I was nearly speechless as he spoke of things I never told him; I realized God had heard me and these words were confirmation. Listener, and anyone who ever felt afraid to pray, or to be prayed for -- Prayer is such a wonderful loving expression to God and being prayed for is a loving expression from God and a fellow believer. Son of the Master is direct, to the point and does not talk a lot of fluff. But he is real. And the God he serves is the God I sought to know in PFAL. I have been weeping and praising God for near two weeks. My friends have had him pray for them and there has been healing and restoration. He has a ministry. That is not to say that any of you do not pray wonderfully before our God and have a great prayer life -- this is to confirm something very Godly is going on here. Perhaps his directness did not convey his heart. These are black and white words and sometimes lack the beating heart or sweetness behind them. If anyone wants to learn about prayer or to be prayed for, I encourage them to contact Son of the Master. Again, this is not to slam anyone's walk or love for God... Or to demean anybody's prayer life. Peace
