Lisa, Briann, and others...
All of your admonishments directed towards nikmatdam are exactly those things the ancient Israelites thought and said to the Prophets of Ha'Shem.
The Prophets wandered on foot, sparing no one their rambling speech patterns and visions, warning of what was to befall the nation short of their repentance.
They, too, were dismissed as "conspiracy zanies", madmen, hallucinating fools, etc... .
They were also eventually murdered by the "proper" classes who were fed up with those who made them "uncomfortable".
After the prophets were proven to have spoken Truth, the same who murdered them and insulted them forced their children to "canonize" them in speeches and worship services, only to again repeat history irregardless of any lessons learned.
Most recently, as a matter of fact, the Jewish People denounced Rabbi Meir Kahane and his thoughts, demanded his imprisonment and death, ruined his life and the lives of his family; even going so far as ADL & others intervening with the U.S. State Department to make sure the names Kahane and JDL and Kach appeared on the "International Terrorist Organization" List.
Forget nikmatdam's views on the Vatican...I suggest listening to the interviews and reading the books put forth by Father Malachi Martin, someone who was granted privy to the inner chambers of Vatican City as a respected Catholic Priest.
nikmatdam has every right here to be different than yourselves, to think thoughts of which you disapprove, and to communicate in a style of prose unapproved by the "Halls of Academe".
Thanks Massuh. It is all TRUTH. I am 100% WITH Nik. And you. Even though you dont like my rants
its all good, as long as SOMEONE is in agreement- now- as Nik says- I AM................
Out of this now. I have obeyed what I have read in Ezekiel this AM:
Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
Son of man, speak thus to your countrymen: When I bring the sword against a country, and the people of this country select one of their number to be their watchman,
and the watchman, seeing the sword coming against the country,
blows the trumpet to warn the people,
anyone hearing but not heeding the warning of the trumpet and therefore slain by the sword that comes against him,
shall be responsible for his own death.
He heard the trumpet blast yet refused to take warning; he is responsible for his own death, for had he taken warning he would have escaped with his life.
But if the watchman sees the sword coming and fails to blow the warning trumpet, so that the sword comes and takes anyone, I will hold the watchman responsible for that person's death, even though that person is taken because of his own sin.
You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me
I believe I have been responsible here. Shalom..........................OUT.
