Prophecy for the near future

[geetrue]

I'll spare you all of the details by just including the actual prophecy the way it was received ...

The Lord said,

"The Clintons are still in charge"

"This will be Obama's downfall"

I asked when would this happen, Lord?

The Lord said it wasn't for me to know and then He added,

"That I would very happy"

Side note I am not pro or anti-Obama personally just sober and leary of what I see happening.

I would not be happy if this was the end of Obama physically ...

I'm thinking this is more of a polictcal problem that has yet to come to light.

[Morts]

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.....wait..are you serious:huh:

[Happy Times]

Yes, he hears voices, he wont go to the doctor.

[Enigma]

cuckoo!

[trekchu]

Sorry mate, but: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Seriously, do you expect anyone to believe that?

[antikristuseke]

hahahahahaha...oh you are serious, let me laugh harder... HAHAHAHAHAHA:rotfl:

[baggygreen]

who are we to laugh at someone elses beliefs?

[longam]

This is the 21st century right? :rotfl:

Its a medical condition and i didnt laugh.

[antikristuseke]

Im an arse tbh. And to quote Pat Condell on this issue "I don't respect your beliefs and I do not care if you are offended. Cheers!".
In most cases I can respect others beliefs, but when they venture too far from reality I can't help but laugh.

I am inclined to agree, especially so when they agressively try to force them on me and are pissed when I tell them to sodd off.

But nobody is forcing anything on anyone here. As it looks right now, people are out for some cheap laughs and ridicule of a fellow board member.. regardless how the OP was meant. ;)

Enough said.

However I find this hard to believe.

Many of your posts including prophecy have a certian anti-left, anti-Clinton, and anti-Obama tone to them. Must just be a coincidental trend.

[antikristuseke]

Ridicule can be avoided by not posting ridiculous topics ;)

Im not, i really am disturbed and troubled by this, as its not the first time.
I think consulting a doctor would be wise, i he/she clears him il leave him alone.

I' m sorry. I should had been more clear.. I meant 'some people'.
Anyways.. I agree with what you said. If it's a medical condition help is needed.

Joan of Arc was ridiculed as being nuts, am i right? because she claimed to hear voices from her god. and yet, she was a fearsome military leader.

Anotehr example, i think ol' GW said he thought he heard voices telling him what to do.

My point it, and was possibly poorly conveyed, that why are we judging a bloke and pokng fun at him, because of what he believes. Take people on their whole, not just one part.

As for the responses of 'its the 21st century' etc, we still don't know everything there is to know, a long way from it.

[Enigma]

My initial comments were in jest, as I thought the OP was in jest. If not, that would be truly troubling....:-?

Because Joan of Arc WAS a fearsome military leader, even if she may have worn a tin hat. This is the Subsim General Topics forum where people shoot the breeze. And if I was hanging out somewhere and a guy came up to me to tell me of his prophecies, I wouldn't be very nice about it either and would probably judge him as not quite right. People are judged and poked fun at daily here for a good number of beliefs (political and otherwise).

PD

That's the thing. He's posted stuff like this before, and I don't believe it's in jest at all.

It's inhuman NOT to form judgments and express opinions. That's what happens on this forum. Open ridicule is bad, I agree. But politely expressing one's views/concerns is not equivalent to bullies stealing lunch money, sorry.

Polite expression or open ridicule, you decide:

Yes, he hears voices, he wont go to the doctor.
cuckoo!
hahahahahaha...oh you are serious, let me laugh harder... HAHAHAHAHAHA:rotfl:



That's hardly the same thing. You don't choose to be the small kid but as an adult you choose to speak out funky things and unless you're totally oblivious you pretty much know how people will react so really you can hardly complain when you get served :)
And who is to define what a "funky thing" is? What's funky to me is your idea of reality and vice versa. There have been a couple possible explanations for the belief (if indeed it is one) and I'm sure there are several more explanations that don't involve openly ridiculing a person.

People may not choose to be the small child in school, but some people haven't had much choice in what they believe. We have no idea of the age or the background of the person, yet y'all make fun of the person rather than ignoring what you believe to be a crazy statement.That's what my objection is to, and I attempted to politely express it, as opposed to the above examples.

[Digital_Trucker]

Can I ask you all a question? When you see a person on the corner with the proverbial "The End is Near" sign hanging off his or her shoulders, do you point and laugh or just walk by?

Maybe you should warn the Secret Service, even if you dont think its a physical threat?
God works in mysterious ways.
Didnt you warn about the hurricane?
How is this different?

Im not a doctor, but i would say that as you cant wish harm on Obama due to your beliefs, its "Gods will" that will take care of him.

In need for psychiatric help, anyone? Hearing voices is understood to be a primary symptom for schizophrenia.

Geetrude, do yourself at least one of two favours: check your condition with a psychiatrist, and if you don't do that, at least keep the transcripts of your internal dialogues for yourself. Else you not only suffer the risk and consequence of broken mental health, but also earn the mockery.

[antikristuseke]

Can I ask you all a question? When you see a person on the corner with the proverbial "The End is Near" sign hanging off his or her shoulders, do you point and laugh or just walk by?

I laugh out loud and keep walking. The same goes for "Repent sinners" signs etc.

Anyway, politely ignoring religious crazytalk is something I can't do, it just goes agains who I am, and as I allready said in this thread, I'm an arse.

[Letum]

The Lord speaks to me too, but he mostly speaks to me about pottery and not politics.
It's very boring, but you can't really tell him to go away.

I don't even like pots.
Why me Lord?

[Digital_Trucker]

Oh please. You don't post on a frickin' forum if you want to go by unnoticed do you ?
And yeah obviously if I say it's funky it's merely my opinion, no need to go into some funky relativism, you party pooper :D

You been talking to my wife. She calls me that exact same thing:rotfl:. That is, when she's not comparing me to Walter (in Jeff Dunham's shows).

Seriously, there's a difference between being noticed and ridiculed.

Because Letum, you are the chosen One. Ye shall go forth into the land and make pottery with thine hands and the clay of the Earth. And on the forth day, ye shall paint these clay pots with pretty colo(u)rs and re-heat them in a kiln. And on the morrow, ye shall sell these pots for a reasonably low price to all kindreds and tongues of the earth.
And low, on the sixth day ye shall repeat the process.
Amen:sunny:

[PeriscopeDepth]

DT, I hear what you're saying. And there certainly have been a few people who've been what I would consider insulting if I was the OP.

BUT, while I guess you deciding a few people have been insulting is noble... Forum cop is a moderator's job and I'm sure they will step in if they judge the remarks as personal attacks. I wouldn't spend too much time around here defending people from being insulted/made fun of, you could find yourself spending way too much time here. :)

PD

[joegrundman]

Oh c'mon guys.

Geetrue is a gentle soul. So play nice. Supposing you are actually right, do you really want to be the person who ridiculed someone with mental issues?

If you want fair-game ridicule, go join Haplo's ego-fest in the American politics thread.

Or hit Steamwake for his stalker-like Obama obsession (although sadly he seems to have chilled out slightly recently)

or many others

And Letum went forth and created the pots by his own hands. And the people cried out: look, there is Letum the potter of the shire.

And there was a great tumult amongst the people; they cried "crucify him! crucify him! for he claimes to sell pottery at the lowest price, yet he charges enflated prices and uses cheap chinese labo(u)r.

I'll take that advice, but I'm usually too busy defending my own "wacky" ideas to defend others too often.:D Besides, I'm "lucky" enough to have plenty of time to spend.:p

Joe,
the guy is either ill, or a fool. If he is ill, his condition may detoriate if he is not getting help, and believe me, schizophrenia is something nobody would like to make jokes about, it must not but can get from bad to worse to worst. If he is a fool, he just got what is a logical consequence of being foolish. In both cases, illness or folly, you do not do him any good favour to normally respect his attitude as if it were repectable. Actually, you encourage him not to see a doctor or not thinking about the foollishness of his acting and saying, and by that you actually do real damage to him.

[UnderseaLcpl]

I will only say that I protest the unwarranted mockery and trivialization of geetrue's beliefs. :down:

[Skybird]

Beliefs?
If somebody tells me he hears voices I immediately think of mental disorder.
And if it is not that, but beliefs indeed: nobody has a right to demand from others that they must respect his beliefs. It's just beliefs, and any privileges demanded because of them, are undeserved.
Keep thy religion to thyself.

[UnderseaLcpl]

Geetrue isn't demanding respect for his beliefs and neither am I. I'm just asking for a little civility. There's no reason religion should be more taboo than any other subject, and there is no reason why we can't be polite.

[Letum]

There's no reason religion should be more taboo than any other subject, and there is no reason why we can't be polite.

I think if someone claimed a secular person was talking to them in their head there
would be a similar response.

Something like: "Hey Chaps! Scott of the Antarctic just told me SHV's release date!".

[Digital_Trucker]

Perhaps I'm actually reading between the lines for once, but does the original post say anywhere that the original poster was the one who received the so called "prophesy"? Just a thought.

[CaptainHaplo]

Well - if one wants to be technical about it - we all hear voices in our heads that are not ours. After all - the way the ear translates sound is all done internally - vs outside your brain dome.

No sound you hear is actually HEARD outside your ear. It may originate there - and you may be able to define things like direction and such - but the actual hearing - takes place in your head.

We all hear voices? Hmmm... well at least that explains alot.

Now back to the show....

This thread is hilarious. We really can talk out of our collective asses about anything for any amount of time around here, can't we? :lol::lol::lol:

As long as we're talking out of our a$$es and not discussing anything productive, has anyone ever been able to clearly hear the voice of another person you know while you are trying to go to sleep?

Speaking of asses, why do you northerners always refer to your donkeys and/or mules?

I believe the word you're after is arse, if you chaps could be arsed typing another letter in :p

The couch is starting to get pretty full in this thread.

I've never heard voices in my head, but what is strange I will for some reason recall a special moment years ago that I had totally forgotten. My wife bought some new perfume recently and it seems it is the same kind as one of my old girlfriends used. Damn I miss her!!

She knows about her and all, even suggested I try to get in contact with her and see how she is doing, but I feel it is best to just let things be. After so many years much had changed.

What's the saying, "I'd rather remember you for the way you were", or something like that.

[She-Wolf]

I believe that is called a 'hypnogogic' experience, when, in the border between sleep and wakefulness, you clearly 'hear' a snatch of conversation, or your name called or a noise such as a doorbell or phone ringing. People can also 'see' things, though in fact their eyes are closed.

This has happened to me on occasion. It is quite a common experience, so I understand.

Yes, I am a gentle soul ... I hear the voice of God.

Yes DT it came to me in the bright sun light of noon day monday, not really a voice in my head ... more like engulfed my whole soul.

I've posted before about hearing God say a hurricane would broach Texas ... this had never happened before in recorded history for a tropical storm to come out of no where and turn into a hurricane overnight, but the real prophecy was at the end of that one to prove that fear of Iran is just that, "Fear".

God said, "If Iran were to launch a missile strike on Tel Aviv it would land in Jordan"

I said all of that right here in the general topics and no one got all upset calling me names. Thank you for sticking up for me, several of you did.

I don't mean to quarrel with anyone, but I seriously think that a homosexual, alcoholic, athesist needs to see a doctor before I do.

St John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

as for the pottery you might be onto something there Letum:
Isaiah 64:8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand

also in Isaiah
He is the potter and we are the clay ... can the clay say to the potter what he shall be?
Nay the clay cannot say to the potter what he shall be

the ultimate word on this thread has been delivered by She-Wolf:

"‘ACHTUNG’! Alles Lookenpeepers! Das Machine ist nicht fur gefingerpoken und mittengraben.
Ist easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen, und poppenkorken mit spitzensparken.
Ist nicht fur gewerken by das dummkopfen.
Das rubbernecken sightseeren, bitta keepen hands in das pockets, relaxen und watch das Blinkenlampen. Danke :huh: "

Well said!

[Letum]

Could you translate that into a civilised language? :smug:
i.e. English

[Skybird]

No. I can't even translate that into German.

[breadcatcher101]

Really. At first I thought my German was getting better, then I realized what I was reading. Very funny.

[She-Wolf]

Could you translate that into a civilised language? :smug:
i.e. English
roughly -

Attention! All eyes. This machine is not for finger-poking and hand-grabbing. It is easy to snap the spring-works, blow the fuses, and pop the cork, resulting in spits and sparks. It is not to be worked by idiots. The gawking sightseers, please keep their hands in their pockets, relax and watch the lamp blinking. Thank you!

It was a sign in my best beloveds work-place. He was an electrical engineer (now retired) and a group leader, working on various secret radar projects for the navy. It seemed a fitting 'warning' in view of some of the stuff they were building. There should always be room for humour in the workplace I think. Works much better in pidgin - German of course. :)
