gatiano: i think you know infact what you are doing, white washing the black brothers, the african brains. with all the billions of miracles happening daily, you choose those particular ones that have happened decades ago. can you explain why? perhaps you got it from a whitewashing site, you copied and paste. get yourself a camera, travel around africa, pick the best things and the miraculous wonders that are happening around and within it. paste it right here so that the african can have a cause to glorify the Most High GOD.
I don't know the issues you have against white people, yes they're not saints but do they have brains absolutely,(not saying that black people don't) miracles happen everyday but how many times would you see a black man take up a camera or pen and paper to carefully document things? You ask me to take up the challenge trust me sometime soon I would but what about you why don't you do so? Waiting and sitting behind a desk and computer to throw daggers at someone who sees something amazing and decides to share.Until someone like you gets up and do things like that the daily miracles that go on in the "black" world would continue to go unnoticed. Bite me!

That's what the bible says that the hairs on our head are numbered and not one of them falls to the ground except by express permission from the above.
Dude in the house you are being tracked by a system far more sophisticated than GPS implanted microchips.

If you know the effects of what you are doing yet you continue doing it, trouble awaits you, it is not far ahead. but if you don't know or understand learn from people, read books and read history at you spare time. in my own opinion, the black people all over the world are just a step away to falling into oblivion, if we aren't already. but there is still hope and we are all that hope and hope or faith without knowledge, wisdom, understanding, self esteem and self confidence is nothing. so when you post things like that on the screen, things are that only GOD can do, and only to the white people, what do you think your young son will get from it? it is a pure subliminal images and messages that you are passing on to that beautiful young brother that will gradually begin to result in self hatred. a simple example.

WORSHIP: it means to pray and to praise. pray is asking for, and praise is showing gratitude.

The ebola crises, do you the we can't create for ourselves the remedy that will wipe out ebola forever and other diseases? we can in the shortest period of time than any race can. but guess what we are scared of even thinking to trying to do and when some else does, you type of images and messages put doubts on a lot of people's mind, thereby they neglect theirs and go on self hating.

so they go to those people that you image in their minds to beg for (with his money o) ask for = worship
after they get good result or nought results, they go say thankyou on a beautiful big stage in front of the whole world (which he paid for many times over) gratitute- praise.

what i have with the white people, i don't hate them, i love the good and honest ones amongst them and those are very few called born again christians. the most of them hate you so much that they don't know how to just make you disappear. well i think they have a evil reasons for that genetically and mathematically.

i don't go about posting pictures, it is what you love doing. do it practically righteous, and to wake up the sleeping. if you civilized, civilize the uncivilize with what will help his growth and development. that is a duty.

I think it's best if I don't reply any further because you're clearly contradicting things, there are things we know and there's conspiracy theory, you can't prove many things You're saying and think we should leave it at that, I have things that I know and things I think might be, like I previously said not all white people are bad, not all of them want me to disappear like you said, so lets leave things as they are, quit spreading white hatred.

Vesna Vulovic: The Stewardess Who Survived a terrorist
attack at 33,000 feet.

On January 26, 1972, a Yugoslav Airlines DC-9 departed
from Copenhagen for Belgrade (via Zagreb) with 28
passengers and crew. At an altitude of 33,000 feet, a
bomb in the cargo section, planted by the Ustashe
Croatian separatist group, exploded. The plane
disintegrated and crashed on the mountains.
In what must be one of the greatest survival stories of
all time, stewardess Vesna Vulovic survived the 33,000
foot descent sitting on the tail of the plane.
22 year old Vulovic wasn't even supposed to be on that
plane. As she later stated in an interview, it was another
Vesna who was supposed to be on that flight, but she
was happy with the mix-up as it allowed her to make
her first trip to Denmark. She ended up with a fractured
skull, two broken legs, and three broken vertebrae - one
of which was crushed and left her paralyzed from the
waist down.
Vulovic spent several months in and out of hospitals;
operations allowed her to walk again. She became a
celebrity when the Guinness Book of World Records
invited her to a ceremony in London with Paul
McCartney. She is listed for surviving the longest fall
without a parachute. Vulovic is now a national hero in
Serbia and spent the late 90s marching in Belgrade
against Slobodan Milosovic.

Mauro Prosperi: Survived 9 days in the Sahara Desert.

Prosperi, a keen endurance runner, took part in the
1994 Marathon des Sables (Marathon of the Sands) in
Morocco. Part way through the 6-day 233 kilometre
event a sandstorm caused Prosperi to lose his way. He
ended up disoriented and ran in the wrong direction,
ultimately running several hundred kilometres into
Algeria. After 36 hours he ran out of food and water.
He survived by drinking his own urine and eating bats
resident in an abandoned mosque and the occasional
snake found in the desert.
Not wishing to die a long drawn out death, Prosperi
attempted to commit suicide in the mosque by slitting
his wrists with a pen knife he had with him. The
attempt failed - lack of water had caused Prosperi's
blood to thicken and clotted the wound before he
died.
After nine days alone in the desert he was found by a
nomadic family and taken to an Algerian military camp
and from there to a hospital. He was 186 miles off
route, and reportedly had lost between 30 and 40
pounds (18 kg) in body weight.
Failed suicide attempt? How frustrating...

Frane Selak: Escaped from a derailed train, a door-less
plane, a bus crash, a car into flames, another 2 car
accidents... then won Million Dollar lottery!

Luck has always been on his side or vice versa for
croatian music teacher Frane Selak (born in 1929), who
is well known around the world for as many fatal
accidents as spectacular escapes. The first of his
numerous near-death experiences began on a cold
January day in 1962, when Selak was on a train to
Dubrovnik: it suddenly derailed into an icy river, killing
17 passengers. He managed to escape with a broken
arm, minor scratches and bruises.
A year later, Selak was flying, from Zagreb to Rijeka,
when a door abruptly blew away from the cockpit of the
plane, as he was blown off the plane. The accident killed
19 people, however, Selak was lucky enough to land on
a haystack, and wake up some days later in hospital,
with minor injuries.
It was in 1966 that he met with the third misadventure
while traveling on a bus that crashed and plunged into a
river. There were four people dead. Astonishingly, Selak
managed to escape unharmed again.
In 1970, Selak was driving along when, all of a sudden,
his car caught fire. He was fortunate again to have left
the car before the fuel tank exploded. Three years later,
another of Selak’s car caught fire, blowing flames
through the air vents. To a greater dismay, Selak's lost
most of his hair.
In 1995, Selak was in Zagreb when he was hit by a bus,
again leaving nothing but a few injuries. The following
year, while driving through a mountain road, Selak drove
off a guardrail to escape an oncoming truck and landed
on a tree to watch his car explode 300 feet below.
In a surprising turn of events in 2003, Selak won the
million-dollar Croatian lottery, turning the man into
either the world’s unluckiest man, or the world’s
luckiest one.
God had his life to use and probably was'nt done with what he requires from him while he was having all this misadventure
