    I think we have a working pay phone right down the road.

    There are still many pay phones around here. 

     

    Wow! One time our phone wasn't working and we didn't have cell phones. We searched everywhere for a payphone. They don't even have one at the library anymore. Needless to say, we bought my husband a cell phone (I think that day.)

     

    Lol, I guess that wasn't random :rofl:

     

     

  3. Hmmm:emot-poke:Should we we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 

    The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.

    The youth of today have gotten so out of hand and show little respect for those in authority, be they those in spiritual authority or really any other authority.  

    This is nothing new, very sad.

    It really sickens me that the employer I had before I retired required their employees to work 15 consecutive days during the busy season...

    A day of rest is important.  In Exodus and Deuteronomy a day of rest is commanded for even the animals.

    Hi SisterWells, nice to meet you :).  ...

    And of course, there are many who have no religious background and they have no thoughts of speeding up to heaven when they die, they, like you said, just want to EXIT this life ASAP....because they have NO HOPE of a better life.  It's just heartbreaking.

    Nice to meet you too ♡

    I would add that there are also many devout believers who find themselves in that place of hopelessness; it happens.

    Yes, I agree with you...I also believe that the false teaching that when you die, you go right to Heaven influences many to try to speed that process up....

    Have you ever struggled with depression, Tammy? Some people are filled with such utter despair and hopelessness wanting nothing more than to escape the pain they're in. Have you read any studies or statistics that lead you to believe that many are influenced to commit suicide because of the idea of Heaven? I would argue that  a suicidal individual desperately wants to flee the torturous place they're in without taking into consideration where they might end up.  Perhaps some who have been suicidal might be able to  confirm or deny this :th_praying:
