Culture / Ageism Or Racism ? by Gistwithgeorgia: 3:08am On Sep 11, 2014
In London, on the bus178 heading out of Woolwich towards Lewisham, I sat next to my luggage . An elderly lady stepped on my feet as if my bag was in the way. Finally she told me I was on seat for elderly people. I showed her other empty elderly seats. She insisted on having the seat I had. I got up and went to sit elsewhere. She came to sit next to me. And told me to adjust my legs.I told her I felt intimidated. Almost bullied.
Anyway I ended up standing. Are these fragments of ageism or racism?

Family / Being A New Mum Is Sore by Gistwithgeorgia: 11:12pm On Sep 06, 2014
It's like taking a person stretching the body beyond anything then leaving it loose and sore. At the same time turning that person to a milk factor that isn't expected to get tired.

Romance / Don't Search His Phone! by Gistwithgeorgia: 7:09am On Aug 27, 2014
If your man is cheating and you search his phone you will find evidence. If you find that evidence of cheating and you don't act on it. It means you are weak and he will keep cheating because he knows there is nothing you can do.

To add to your humiliation he will stop covering up.
In my opinion it's best you don't search his phone except you are 100% ready for confrontation. He will deny so be ready for argument and persistence.

This is not from a school of thought. It is common sense.

Romance / Men Be Aware Your Wife Might Be Having Second Thoughts by Gistwithgeorgia: 2:59am On Aug 24, 2014
Here are the five most common reasons cited for marrying the wrong guy:



1. We've dated for so long I don't want to waste all the time we have invested in the relationship.

2. I don't want to be alone.

3. He'll change after we get married. 4. It is too late, too embarrassing and/or too expensive to call off the wedding

5. He is a really nice guy; I don't want to hurt his feelings.

Romance / How To Find A Man That Will Love You by Gistwithgeorgia: 8:55pm On Aug 19, 2014
How to find a man that will love you
1. If you refuse to date guys for a silly reasons—like "he wears ugly shoes"—you're being too picky. Keep in mind that you can often make "after-purchase repairs," especially when it comes to wardrobe selection.

2. Look for a guy who will withstand the test of time—in other words, the guy-equivalent of a little black dress. You want values and sincerity, not trendy packaging.

3. If you are absolutely not attracted to him, move on. It's as simple as that. You can't fix a relationship that never had the spark of mutual attraction.

4. The more you two have in common, the more likely it is that you will have a happy marriage. Studies overwhelmingly show that it is similarities—not opposites—that attract and stay together.

5. Internet dating is an absolute must nowadays, and its greatest benefit is that you can niche market and really focus in on the qualities that are most important to you.

6. You need to get out of the "women's department" and go shopping in the "men's department" in order to find the man of your dreams. Go where the men are: check out golf clinics, fly fishing, technology conferences, and business courses.

7. It's good to shop alone. Think about it: do your female friends have your best interests in mind—or are they competition for the few eligible men out there? Take a class, travel, talk to guys. But do it on your own.

8. Pick a guy who is not quite as good looking as you are and makes sure he is willing to do the dishes. No kidding. Scientific research shows that guys who believe they have married well looks-wise and those who help out around the house are the ones who stay in their marriages for the long haul.

Romance / How To Know If A Woman Is In Love With You by Gistwithgeorgia: 8:57am On Aug 14, 2014
Then there are the times when you meet people and mutual attraction is not assured. Your new co-worker, a friend’s roommate, your roommate’s sister, the guy who works at the coffee shop next door. Do they like you? You have no idea. But what you’re left with is what in high school parlance is referred to as a crush. Because of whatever complications, you don’t feel like you can just ask this person out. But you’ve got it for them, and you’ve got it bad.

As adults, we’re beyond doodling in notepads and feverishly writing diary entries — but we can still get a little weird about our crushes.

I asked a group of female friends to brainstorm how, exactly, they behave towards someone on whom they have a secret crush. Nobody does all of these things at once, but chances are, if you’ve ever had a crush, a couple of these bullet points will sound pretty familiar. (You could call some of these behaviors “creepy.” I prefer the adjectives “diligent” and “enthusiastic.”)

“Life would be so much easier if you could just be like, ‘YO. I’m in love with you,’ with no consequence,” one contributor said via GChat. Preach.

So, here you go. A no-holds-barred list of the things we do when we’re secretly in love with you.

“I laugh really hard when you’re within ear shot, and make sure I look super engaged with who ever I’m talking to.”
“I send you a link to an article about something we talked about once, in passing.”
“I get really dressed up when I know I’m going to see you and then act surprised/dismissive when you say I look nice. (‘Really? Huh. I just came from work…’)”
“I listen to songs I think you’d like on Spotify and hope you see them on my Facebook feed.”

“I all of the sudden get buddy-buddy with your friends.”
“I tweet about things that aren’t directly about you, but that I know will interest you.”
“I never leave the bar before you do — I don’t care how early I have to work the next morning.”
“I live in fear that you will somehow learn how often I visit your Facebook page.”

“I text you something random or ‘funny’ my coworker did, just to start the conversation.”
“I go out of my way to not seem jealous of other women, going so far as to force you to say tell another girl how pretty she is.”
“I change my GChat status to something I want you to see.”
“I find out everything I can about you and then pretend to be surprised when you tell me something about yourself in person.”
“I stand in the same circle as you but avoid eye contact and only talk to the person standing next to you.”
“If we’re sitting at a table, booth, or bench, I will sit closer to you than to the person on my other side. I will make sure our arms accidentally graze each other.”
“I take advantage of every possible opportunity to “@” you on twitter.”
Related: How to Flirt on Twitter in 4 Easy Steps
“I go out of my way to walk by you on the way to the bar.”
“I spend parties standing in your line of sight.”
“I dress inappropriately for events because you complimented that outfit another time. (‘Aren’t you cold?’ ‘… no.’)”
“I google anyone I found out you dated/hooked-up with/were interested in, just to see how I measure up.”

“I make up a ‘work question’ that we need to have coffee/lunch/drinks to discuss, because I’d really like your professional opinion on the matter. (Ideally, I’d also like to make out.)”
“I have Skype, gchat, and Facebook chat always up just in case you sign into one of the three messaging platforms.”
“I invite you to a party I’m throwing. And then quickly invite 100 other people so you won’t suspect I singled you out.”
” I will remember a random fact or opinion you expressed a year ago, even when you don’t.”

“I Google myself so I know what comes up in case you randomly decide to google me.”

Romance / Things Men Instantly Notice About Women by Gistwithgeorgia: 8:46pm On Aug 12, 2014
Things men instantly notice about women
There are a few things men instantly observe when they meet a woman

1.The Size of Your Group
You don't want a big bunch (it'll be hard for him to approach) or just one friend(he'll figure you wouldn't desert her totalk to him). The perfect crew size?Three. Your two buds can keep each other company when you slip away.

2.How Nice Your Hair Is
This is all about evolution. Since cavemandays, dudes have been drawn tolush locks, which signal that a womanis healthy (translation: shaggable).

3. If Your Smile Is Genuine
Sometimes your eyes crinkle a bit whenyou grin. Most men are good at distinguishingthe vibe of this kind of smile,which says you're relaxed and fun.



4. The Pitch of Your Voice
Studies show that men are drawn tovoices in a slightly higher register (thinkKristin Bell's), probably because — yep,evolution — they're reliable signs ofyouth and reproductive health.

5. Your Hip-to-Waist Ratio
Yet again, blame eons of human history.Men instinctually look for baby mamas.If your waist is noticeably smaller thanyour hips, it signifies fertility — a hugepoint in your favor. A wide belt willemphasize that hourglass shape.

6. Your Glowiness
Guys associate a radiant complexionwith good mental health. That'sbecause stress and anxiety usuallycause breakouts and dull skin. Sothose lotions and bronzers you sweepover your cheeks? Totally worth it...

Zmap finally coming to Africa. I am well pleased. Hopefully this will cure all the people who are already infected with Ebola and reduce the fear in the general population. Thank God.
Just wondering why it took the American such a long time to make the decision and also wondering if Africa cannot truelly survive on its own.
Happy though!

Romance / How To Know If Your Woman Is Cheating by Gistwithgeorgia: 11:26am On Aug 11, 2014
How to know if your woman is cheating

gist with georgia

Experts have given a few sings to look out for if you want to know if your wife or girlfriend is cheating on you.

Firstly, phone calls - any change in phone calls including frequency of calls, time of day, tone of voice or a change in text messaging habits could all signify that she is cheating. When she answers the phone, does she drop her volume or suddenly sound as flirtatious as she did when you were first dating?

If it seems like her phone habits are changing and you cannot understand the changes, you may be witnessing an affair, the Huffington Post reported.

Secondly, dates with girlfriends - is she spending more time with her girlfriends than in the past? Are there many evenings out with the girls, when there were almost none just a short while ago? When you ask her who she will be with, does her answer sound sincere?

If any of these scenarios ring a bell, your wife may be going out, but not with the girls. If she was not socializing with her friends with the same frequency that she is now, that is a sign. If she is doing different things than she did with the girls in the past, that is a good indication that all is not what it seems.

Thirdly, showering and the gym - does she come home freshly showered, when in the past she did not shower during the day? Does she seem to be going to the gym more often than she used to?

There are two parts to this one. The gym excuse could be legitimate; it just might be that she is going there more frequently. The problem is that she might be working out more to impress her new love interest. And if she is not in need of her usual shower at night, chances are she is showering after an afternoon of steamy sex, followed by a steamy shower.

Fourthly, cologne - does she ever smell of different cologne, one that is more masculine than hers? Do you ever comment on the new scent she is wearing, only to find that she does not apply the same scent at home?

It could be that the new scent is not hers, but his. Do you by any chance recognize the scent as one you might have tried in the past? Do you recognize it as a scent one of your friends wears?

Fifthly, eye contact - has she stopped making eye contact when answering questions about where she has been and what she has been doing? Does she avoid looking you straight in the eye, when that was not an issue before?

For most people, it is very challenging to look someone who knows you very well in the eye and tell an out-and-out lie. If your wife is lying to you, there is a very good likelihood that she will be looking anywhere but into your eyes when she does.

Next, alcohol and other substances - is she drinking outside the home at odd times or more than before? Have you suspected drug use, where there was none before? Does she ever smell of cigarettes, even though she doesn't smoke?

If you are seeing any of these scenarios, there is probably a partner in crime. Sex, drugs and rock and roll all go together, as does alcohol, and could all be indulged in during a tryst. If she smells of cigarettes and she does not smoke, you can bet that he does. You know, almost certainly, that someone else is influencing her choices if these behaviours are taking place when they were not happening before...

Romance / Why Women Prefer Bad Boys by Gistwithgeorgia: 11:34am On Aug 09, 2014
Why women prefer Bad Boys

Sometimes the appeal of a bad boy is too hard to resist, explains Caroline Kent.

I'm often questioned by men who tell me they are "nice guys" but feel ignored by women who, they say, "prefer to be treated like crap". While I don't agree that nice guys always finish last, I do understand that we women do make some damn silly dating decisions.

Most of the men I know are kind, polite and adorable in practically every way, yet, like many women, I have an illogical soft-spot for massive jerks. There is something about bad boys that we find incredibly appealing, even though we often regret the experience afterwards.

I'm so drawn to their powerful/sensitive/artistic (delete as applicable) natures that it allows me to rationalise away their abusive, selfish, sarcastic or psychopathic side, until it's too late. I don't know whether it's chemistry or foolishness on my part, but let me try to explain why we - or at least I - do it.

Bad boys come in all shapes and sizes, often not befitting the James Dean stereotype of smouldering sex appeal. My first was from a chaotic background: brought up in foster care, a school dropout by 14, eyes the colour of caramel latte. But being a bad boy isn't about being from the wrong side of the tracks. My most recent mistake took the form of a middle-class technology software partner who wore J Crew. He didn't have much in common with my first bad boy at all, except for one thing: the way they treated me. And my God, it felt just as painful at 24 as it did at 14.

And just as euphoric. One thing that bad boys are not is boring. We are enraptured by their spontaneity, by the excitement and anticipation...

Romance / How To Know If Your Man Is Cheating On You by Gistwithgeorgia: 8:52pm On Aug 07, 2014
The truth is, few straying men come home covered in lipstick stains and reeking of another woman’s perfume. While the signs are rarely that obvious, if you’re willing to look, they’re almost always there, according to Danine Manette, private investigator and author of Ultimate Betrayal. So how do you know whether all the Hollywood cheating scandals are making you paranoid or if your partner’s actually in the arms of another woman? Check out some changes in behavior that could mean he’s looking for love elsewhere.


1. Sudden Changes in His Appearance

If your husband starts transforming into a different man, it may be more than a mid-life crisis, warns Manette. “A man who drastically alters his clothing style, appearance or body shape for no apparent reason may be having an affair. Perhaps the other woman has suggested he grow a beard, wear his hair differently or use cologne. If he’s dressing differently for work, there may be a coworker he’s trying to impress.” Likewise, if your lifelong couch-potato spouse suddenly becomes a gym rat, it may not be you that he’s trying to impress. “He may be trying to look good for a new love interest or keep up physically with a younger woman. Or perhaps the other woman works or works out at the gym he’s showing a sudden interest in going to,” explains Manette.


2. His Attitude Towards You Dramatically Changes

Changes in his mood can point to more than just stressful times at work. “Men often get fidgety or irritable when they’re supposed to be in two places at once. If the other woman demands more of his time, he may start arguments with you so he can storm out and rendezvous with her,” says Manette. If he’s not only picking fights, but also criticizing you for things that hadn’t bothered him before, like your appearance, eating habits or intelligence, it’s probably not about the way you chew your food or the 5 pounds you’ve gained, but really about another woman. “Cheating creates a lot of internal turmoil and tension, which gets played out between the two of you. Plus, in order to cheat on someone, you have to be focused on what you don’t like about her. By making that loud and clear, he feels more justified in cheating and less guilty,” explains Jennifer Oikle, PhD, psychologist, dating coach and founder of MySoulmateSolution.com.


3. He’s Become Distant

“Emotional distance is the number-one giveaway of infidelity, because it’s hard to be emotionally invested in two people at once and to be emotionally intimate with someone while you betray her trust. Most people simply can’t handle the guilt of cheating, so they create space. Plus, distance creates a shield, protecting him from detection—if he doesn’t say much, he’s less likely to say something incriminating,” explains Dr. Oikle. If your spouse avoids being alone with you and your conversations become purely superficial, he could be pushing you away because he’s growing closer to someone else. “Likewise, if he holds back the warm and fuzzies (i.e. he stops saying ‘I love you,’ no longer holds your hand in public or barely hugs you anymore), he could be cutting off his feelings of affection for you, so he can focus on his new partner without ....

More on treatment for Ebola

The experimental treatment given to two American patients infected with the Ebola virus has its roots in a therapy devised more than 100 years ago — serum.

Back in the late 1800s doctors discovered they could sometimes save patients suffering from deadly diseases, like diphtheria and tetanus, by injecting them with serum derived from the blood of people who had somehow been able to fight off infections with those bugs on their own.

advertisement


Ebola Patient Dr. Kent Brantly Receives Second Dose of SerumNIGHTLY NEWS


The process has modernized to be sure. ZMapp, the treatment given to Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol after they were infected while treating patients at a missionary clinic in Liberia, is made of three “humanized” mouse monoclonal antibodies, immune system proteins grown in genetically engineered tobacco plants that can home in specifically on a microbe.

But the concept stems from early treatments with serum, the clear yellowish fluid left over once red and white blood cells and platelets have been removed. It is rich in antibodies, basically holding a history of every disease that the donor has been infected with and overcome.

While the initial serum donors were human, scientists soon discovered that they could cure a variety of infections with sera from animals, especially horses. If you see photos of pharmaceutical companies earlier in the century you’d see that they were located on farms, says Dr. Arturo Casadevall, professor and chair of the department of microbiology and immunology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.

Eventually antibiotics and vaccines displaced sera as therapies for many diseases, Casadevall says. But in cases where there was no other treatment, serum was still necessary. In fact, serum treatments are still used for rabies, Casadevall says.

In a new twist on an old therapy, scientists in the '70s started isolating specific antibodies to neutralize diseases. And often there wasn’t just one antibody per disease, since antibodies can be targeted to different spots on a virus or bacterium. So three or four completely different antibodies might be aimed at destroying a particular disease.

Antibodies are made when the scout cells of the immune system — human or animal — spot a foreign substance. After gobbling the invader up, these cells break it into pieces and then drag the pieces off to the immune system’s main army so it can mount a defense against the perceived threat.

Once those antibodies have been found, scientists next have to find the specific immune cells that made them, says Kelly Stefano Cole, an associate professor of immunology and associate director of the University of Pittsburgh Center For Vaccine Research's Regional Biocontainment Laboratory.

Scientists then turn the immune cells into little factories — often by combining them with special cancer cells. The combination makes the immune cells immortal and also dramatically boosts their ability to produce antibodies, Cole says.

While a lot of the monoclonal antibodies come from humans, some still come from animals, including mice, Casadevall says. In fact, mice don’t need to even get the disease in order to mount an immune response, which includes the manufacture of antibodies against it, he adds.

Rheumatic diseases are routinely treated with monoclonals, and a monoclonal that neutralizes IgE is used in severe asthma.

"Infectious disease is where antibody treatments were pioneered," Casadevall said. "But now there are dozens of monoclonals licensed for use in cancer. It's had an enormous impact on cancer over the last 15 years since it was introduced. It's been effective in the treatment of breast cancer and colon cancer."

Why the two Americans were chosen for this treatment, while many others are sick with Ebola in Africa, was unclear.

“While the FDA cannot comment on the development of specific medical products, it’s important to note that every FDA regulatory decision is based on a risk-benefit assessment that includes the context of use for the product and the patient population being studied,” said Stephanie Yao, a spokesperson for the FDA.

Health / Ebola Treatment by Gistwithgeorgia: 7:13pm On Aug 06, 2014
Ebola virus under the microscope
An experimental treatment for Ebola has reportedly shown some signs of success in a US aid worker. What potential treatments for Ebola might be available in the future?

What is the current treatment for Ebola?

There is no licensed treatment or vaccine for the Ebola virus. Hospital treatment is based on giving patients intravenous fluids to stop dehydration and antibiotics to fight infections. Strict medical infection control and prompt burial are regarded as the best means of prevention.

What new treatments are being tried for Ebola?

A couple of experimental treatments have been used on a compassionate basis. The approach is based on the idea that antibodies against the Ebola virus might help the body fight off the infection. An antibody is a protein produced by the immune system in response to harmful invaders, such as viruses.

What is serum?

Serum is the part of the blood that contains antibodies. In past Ebola outbreaks, serum has been taken from people who have survived Ebola but are no longer infectious. Their blood still contains high levels of antibodies against the virus. In one outbreak in 1995 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, seven out of eight patients survived after being treated with serum, according to Prof Tom Solomon, director of the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Emerging and Zoonotic infections. Reports suggest that a US aid worker who developed Ebola may have been given serum before being flown home from Africa.

What are monoclonal antibodies?

An experimental cocktail of three engineered antibodies against the Ebola virus has been developed. The treatment is not yet licensed as it has not been tested in clinical trials. The antibodies were originally harvested from mice that had been injected with parts of the Ebola virus. They have been adapted to work in the human body and can be manufactured in the tobacco plant.

Experiments on monkeys suggest the antibody cocktail may reduce fatalities when given after exposure to the virus. Two US aid workers have reportedly been given this experimental treatment, known as Zmapp, with "apparently encouraging" signs in one of them, said Prof Solomon.

What other approaches are being tried?

There are a couple of prototype vaccines against Ebola, but these are in the very early stages of research in animal models. Nothing is licensed and clinical trials would be very difficult to conduct.


The natural host for the virus is the fruit bat
The Food and Drug Administration in the US says it is fast-tracking a vaccine that has shown encouraging signs in monkeys for phase 1 trials in September.

This type of trial is the earliest study in humans and aims to make sure that drugs are safe and show some chance of working.

Another area of research is looking into how the Ebola virus triggers severe internal bleeding. The aim would be to boost clotting factors that the body produces naturally to control bleeding.

What are the chances of success?

Experts say that pharmaceutical companies are unlikely to invest the huge resources needed to develop new drugs when these would likely be used only occasionally in relatively small numbers of people. They say investment is needed from international agencies to have any realistic chance of success in the future.

Romance / If He Beats you should you leave or stay? by Gistwithgeorgia: 8:28am On Aug 02, 2014
Most sensible people will say pack your bags and RUN for your dear life but how do you know if he meant to hurt you?

Of course he meant to hurt you, that’s why he beat you. He beat you to hurt you but maybe he is truly sorry.

The big dilemma is will he do it again?

If confronted with the same situation or a similar situation he is likely to do it again. So we have to look at the real reason he beat you.

It’s not his fault and it’s not your fault. It is a combination of different things.
Think back on when he beat you.
Did he push you?
Did he slap you?
Did he punch or slap you many times?

A push is most likely self defence. He probably wanted you out of his way and you wouldn’t go.
Did he push too hard, did you hurt yourself? Most likely.

One slap is most likely he has reached the edge of self control.
Did he slap too hard? Most likely.

For A Push and One Slap, you need to do a lot of thinking but you MUST tell somebody. If he wants to keep it a secret it is understandable but you must tell somebody. You must let him know that you told somebody. If he wants to leave because you told somebody then it means he never wanted to stay.
Remember if you are telling somebody you must say everything that happened. If you hide some facts to make yourself look good then you are on a road to self destruction.

If he is from a culture where violence against women is acceptable the maybe he is a bit damaged from that.
It's not for you to fix. You can't fix it.

Think about what happened.
What did he say?
What did you say?
Where did it happen?
Who was there?
What do you want to do now?
What if it happens again?

Punches or several slaps means he is a maniac. He did not lose self control because he never had it in the first place. He could be suffering a mental health problem and if he kills you, yes KILLS you, then it is not his fault.


Or maybe he is too young to be in a relationship. If he is under twenty five and he beat you, then maybe you need to leave him alone to grow up properly, to mature. I don’t mean you should leave him for a few weeks or months, I mean leave him for a few years.

If a man beats you, it will lead you to have depression or low self esteem. You will think that it is your fault, that your life is a mess and that you are not good enough, that you are not able to keep a relationship.

Remember it was him who beat you it was not you who beat him. Even if you don’t know the right way to talk to people, you are rude or aggressive it still was not you who beat yourself, it was HIM. Not his fault not your fault but it was HIM that beat you.

If you are married or dating a manic and you are in it for fame or fortune it would be difficult to leave but remember it is a gamble, he could KILL you before you get that thing you are looking for.

If you have no plans of leaving a violent man then you are playing a very dangerous game. Good luck and play safe but remember that you are gambling with your life. If you are extremely lucky, the gamble will pay off $$$, if you are not extremely lucky you will DIE ):

Religion / Make Sure It Is God That You Are Praying To by Gistwithgeorgia: 5:37am On Aug 02, 2014
Are you praying to God?

There are churches were weird things happen. If it is your first time you would probably think that maybe they are doing things right. You might think that maybe you don't pray hard enough, that maybe if you prayed harder and behaved like people in those churches then all your problems would be solved.
You have something bothering you, something that you believe might either be your own fault or from forces of the enemies.
You want a solution from God but it is not coming so you find yourself going to a church where you are not very comfortable but you believe somehow that you will find your peace.
Maybe if you pray harder or shout louder God will hear you better.
Do you think that God is deaf?

Jesus taught us how to pray.

Matthew 6:9-13English Standard Version (ESV)

“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.[a]
10 Your kingdom come,
your will be done,[b]
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread,[c]
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.[d]

It's not that difficult. Any how you want to interprete this prayer, it did not speak to satan. It spoke to God and God only.

So why do you call satan when you pray?
Why do you call your enemies?

Why are you invoking satan and inviting him to your conversation with God?

You keep stomping on the ground and jumping and shouting like a lunatic just to cast away satan and your enemies. Why not use that time to talk gently to God.

If indeed we believe that we are children of God then the enemy cannot stand near us or interfere with our plans.

As children of God we are confident and strong in our faith. We work hard and prosper.

Laziness and excuses and expecting miracles that involve reaping where we did not sow is not a Christian behaviour.

If you want to ask your father or somebody you call your father for something will you shout at him?

If somebody wants something from you and they shout at you the way you shout at God, will you answer them?

Ask, Seek, Knock
(Luke 11:5-13)

7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Please let us use our heads and think. Let us stop behaving like animals.

If we indeed believe that we are children of God and that God made us in his image then we should imitate Christ and conduct ourselves with dignity.

I will talk more about the satanic churches and how to get your message across to God in future writings.

Thanks

Religion / Agents Of Demonic Churches by Gistwithgeorgia: 5:01am On Aug 02, 2014
Agents of Demonic Churches

How can you know if you are an agent of a demonic church?

If your evangelism involves wining souls of people who are already Christians it means that you are trying to divert them from their church to your own church and interpret the bible in the way that your church understands it.

Single mums, men looking for a job, women looking for husbands, Couples looking for a child, illegal immigrants, people with terminal illness, homeless people and other vulnerable people .
They are desperate, they will believe anything.

You mean well but do you realise that you are not winning souls for God? You are bringing in potential tithe for your church.

Yes you are not the pastor so you know nothing about the money.

Tithe, offering, sowing a seed.... familiar words...

We as Christians followers of Christ. We follow the preaching of Christ ... stop reminding me of Malachi 3:10. You follow the preaching of Christ but yet you refer to the old testament when you want to donate to making your pastor rich.

I have no problem with you making your pastor rich. After all your pastor offers you a service and it is only fair that you pay. Doctors, musicians, lawyers, accountants and other professions some are rich some are not. Same goes for pastors. It is your personal choice.

My anger is at you for going out to bring in more vulnerable people to be brainwashed by your pastor.

If you live in Europe you know about benefits. Money the government gives you to sustain yourself and your children to a standard. Benefit is not an income. If you decide you want to pay your tithe then pay your tithe on your income not benefit.

How can you be cheating the government and depriving your children, to give to a church, based on what is not the teaching of Christ. Yes it is in the bible but No it is not the teaching of Christ.

It is a demonic church that will use the bible to bring confusion in your life and make you feel that you are cheating God and mess up your life. Then they will blame you for messing up your life and advice you to pray even more.

They will tell you to believe in miracles. Encourage you to take dangerous risks because you are a child of God and tell you that you are untouchable. They give you false hopes. They tell you that you that you don’t need to go to a hospital to receive healing.

When your symptoms get worse they say you have not prayed hard enough or that God, who is loving, is punishing you.

They have brainwashed you because they have demonic powers and they have sent you to win more souls.

I will touch this topic again in detail but for now please don’t lose your mind.

You are a child of God and God loves you. Stop letting THEM use you as their agent.
