Respect yourself and stop this nonsense on my thread

HOW MUCH DID YOU BUY THE THREAD.?
Rabbish

EmmaFantastic:
Also, people should try as much as possible to keep information about their plans personal. That's my take.

I Like the above, But unfortunately in this FACEBOOK and Snapchat age, Many people flaunt or show off their plans and achievement to the detriment of their lives.

You won't be suprised seeing a man posting pictures of His pregnant wife on FB , inviting the venom of wicked beings who don't love progress.

Same with youths, Matric... they will post, Graduate ... they will post , Get a Job ... they will post .. , Buy a new Car .. they will post. , its true many Will comment and like such post , But many keep Blood and Spit Saliva . its a dangerous world


someone said " Silence is Golden " ....

Thanks sister, I. plan to do this soon

You are right on the fact that many give their consent without knowing it. A fellow Christian used to complain of sexual dreams, after he confided in me i told him that it was happening because in real life he was consenting to it. When he began to rebuke sexually explicit thoughts he overcame, I hope he hasn't fallen back to his old habits tho because it will return if he starts

Can you help with scriptures and prayer points to help fight those unclean spirit please.

A mature spinster recently got married, this was a pleasant surprise to most of us who mean well for her but while she was still preparing for her marriage, a few days to her wedding ceremony, her father died and afterwards her mother is seriously sick. This reminded me of another lady who lost her mother while preparing for her marriage

I have heard similar stories before and it happens mainly in Africa than in the West, is this just a coincidence or is there something supernatural attached to this, like is it possible that the woman was delayed by her father or something, to me it's weird

It's called enumeration of favourable - or unfavourable, in this instance - circumstances. That something shocking should happen so closely to a time of joy causes you to ignore the many other "uninteresting" occasions.

In any case, yes it also happens in the West. One anecdote, the sister of a friend lost her father-in-law the day before the wedding. The father of the groom decided to hang up some nice decorations for the wedding the next day, he fell and died. Not that it should matter, but they are all White British. None of them have ever been to Africa.

Another instance, a Southern Asian woman and her family are believed to have been tragically killed in the horrific tower fire that happened in London. The woman was due to be married in weeks, too (see here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/22/bride-to-be-due-marry-next-month-perished-grenfell-tower-refusing/).

If you trawled the internet you'd see many examples of people all over the world dying just before, during, or soon after a joyous occasion. Africa doesn't have a monopoly on statistical occurence of tragic events.

A friend of mine (She's late now) died becos she defied her mother and got married. These things seems strange, but they happen.

When we were kids, My friend's mother was one of those women you'd want to call "Strong". She had kids with three men, but she raised all of them by herself. She raised them like the rich would. sent them to good schools. Her kids were different from others.

She did all kinds of business to see her Children through school. Only one of her 9 Children is not a graduate. She did very well training her kids and they are doing very well, ONLY, the females who are the majority, don't marry.

She has just three sons, one is late too.

The first to marry was the fourth daughter. Her husband died mysteriously. No one suspected mama of course. But she confessed later to be responsible. To save her daughter from the wrath of her coven members, she killed her husband and left her with two little girls, who she helped care for.

The third daughter (The woman's first four children were all ladies) had become really born again in S.U. She knew what was going on by revelations, she met a Christian man, married and cut off completely from home. She was called all manner of names, she didn't care. she stayed away.

How did you find out all the details contained in your story? I mean, from the way it's narrated, it appears you're not a direct member of the family, yet your story seems to contain...intimate knowledge of the family, their words and their doings. Almost, with all due respect, like it's embellished.

Yeah, i embellished the story so that i can make money from you. See how rich this has made me?

Unfortunately, no one can reason spiritual matters with one's head. That's why i so much pity all these satanists disguised as atheists on NL.

satanist ni##a i worship no god.. i have no master. Jokes on you

The link you posted doesn't have much to do with the topic. The fire incident in London was caused by someone's mistake and the government had been warned about the building previously. The bride to be and her siblings made the brave choice of remaining with their parents

Moreover we cannot wipe off the activities of evil beings beyond the African continent, they exist in other regions too.


While your theory about favorable or unfavorable circumstances may hold water amongst atheists, in reality entities are behind those favorable or unfavorable circumstances that occur(this is my view as a religious). I've already given examples of individuals who announced their joyous news and suddenly things turned sour

What a pathetic case...

There is no i didnt know in spirituality..

Ignorance is not an excuse....

Ngo40 where are you? I've really missed you.

Do you have anything to say on this thread? I've only heard but haven't noticed. Have you?

Embellishing a story often has little to do with making money. It should be standard practice to scrutinise all narratives containing that many improbable elements. More so when the narrator is both simultaneously distanced yet intimate with the details contained in the story told. So, how did you find out all the details in the story you told? Or do you need more peoples?

The link was one example of a tragic event almost coinciding with a marriage. The Op, and one of the following posts, seemed to suggest Africans - for the most part - were beleaguered by marriages coinciding with death of a loved one. I was assuring you that the rest of the world has its fair share of certainty.

So, are you now arguing that it's evil beings that cause death or tragic events around the time of marriages? Or does it only apply to the situations in which you want to them to apply?

Also, should we ignore the fact that the vast majority of weddings and marriages don't coincide with personal tragedy?

It's not a theory, it's an explanation. You've only given an incredibly small amount of anecdotal examples. I suspect that if you thought about it, you could think of many people for whom the wedding, and the announcement thereof, went without a hitch. If you added that to your sample size, how would you explain their relative successes? Would you resort to the spiritual? Did they somehow miss out on bedevilment?

Is there any possibility that you can accept that bad, sad things can happen to people without any hidden malicious"spiritual" element?

You don't have to believe it.

The sample size I used consist of people who are close enough to tell me such stories. A good number of individuals might choose to withhold such incidents from people who aren't close to them.


Do you think everyone likes you and what if he or she who hates you goes further to seek your downfall, how do you explain this in your terms?
