March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of the man named "John Norman" and the novels he wrote called the "Gor novels" or (as offical name of them: counter earth novels)

which is like a sci-fi novel that he wrote back beginning in 1966 I think up until like late 80s andd than resumed writing them in early 2000s agagain up until now. If you dont know you can probably look him up on wikipedia.

he has like 30 something books I think. I came across this stuff before I was saved back in 2007-2008 or so, and did read some of his books, or parts from them, but not a lot.

The people in the books are called "Goreans" and the reason its called counter earth is because their planet is on the other side of the sun. I remember in the books about UFOs and people getting abducted as part of novels "speifically women getting abducted" you will understand  when you look up info on him and his books. I am wondering if this also plays into the whole UFO deception. Also it has a lot of Conan the barbarian themes in it.

Some of the themes include women being enslaved, or women as slaves. Also on their planet that I recall their technology is held back to where its only in Roman times technology in regards to weapons, while medical technology is highly advanced on their planet I think, except the space ships they have that they use for abductions, also if I remember correctly that the people on Gor (thier planets name) or of Gor are a lot taller than people on earth, like between 7-9 feet while some are normal from 5-7 feet tall. This seems to indicate giants as well.

The guy wrote the books supposedly in response to the feminist movement of the 50s 60s and 70s and continued to write them I guess because he has a fan base now.

A lot of people in england and europe like the books, more than americans it seems from what I remember.

They have a lot of Greco-Roman themes to the books as well such as a city called "Cos" and another "Tyros" or something like that. The main characters name is "Tarl Cabot" If memory serves right. But even though a lot of greek and roman themes or Conan the Barbarian themes in it, it also had UFO or watcher theology stuff in it. I know a lot of books have been written on stuff like this (sci-fi) but these books were somewhat unique and also he has written like 30+ of the things.

Something that the New Age Movement just obsesses over - 1) UFOs coming in to usher in a New Age of "enlightenment", and 2) More and MORE advanced technology. Don't get me wrong, technology has done good in some areas(ie-have enabled Christians to have fellowship on the internet, like us, among other things). However, they are COVETING more and more advanced technology, as if they're on their knees begging for it.

And as we're potentially witnessing the last days, technology has exploded exponentially. When BASIC Commodore 64 PCs and Atari game sets were introduced in the 80's(when I was a young boy), I thought THAT was something to marvel about!

Will have to check this author out on the internet. Also another thing these sci-fi entertainment products have in common is that the tech stuff you see and read in their products, they end up turning up in society years later. Take cell phones - I believe they were in those "Star Trek" movies. And holograms too(which CNN flirted with in the 2008 election coverage).

Yeah I know what your talking about.

I remember being like 5-7 years old when the "Nintendo 64" came out and played that back then. I remember the first playstation, Super Nintendo of early 90s because we had one, and grew up playing the PC and games on it.

I will probably make a sepearte thread on that as well, also a warning about that author of those gorean books.

just remembered to mention this: it does have some pornagraphic themes, while its not p orn it does have themes to that degree, because hence the women slavery I mentioned, but its not strictly p ornagraphic but just a warning.

I can remember somewhat the playstation 2 as well, now I heard they just announced the playstation 4 to come in the future, and than a new X-box is supposed to come out as well.

Never heard of him or his books. It's not the Word, so I really could care less what it's about. The world tosses out all kinds of stories that promote "another Jesus" that serve to distract and get people thinking about unedifying things.
