How anonymous can you be with technology these days?

Is it even a reality anymore?

Stay off the internet totally, other than that no.  I have friends retired in the Smoky mountains who have no internet, no cable TV, no smartphones or any of the like.  The only thing tying them to the "grid" as it were is satellite radio subscription and some magazines they get in the mail.

But if you are on the net, then no you cannot.  With the new rules that went into place on Thursday, even just the use of a VPN is probable cause for the FBI or other law enforcement agencies to look at your content.   If you have a device that is connected to the web and it gets hijacked and used in a DOS attack law enforcement now has the authority to access your entire network, even though you were just an innocent victim whose devices was taken over for a short time.  For example let's say you have a smart appliance and it gets used in a DOS attack, the FBI can now look at your home computer(s) if it is tied to that appliance.

That is really the way to live today but very few could do it.

It can be done...if you are young.

In the mid '70's I lived at Tolstoy Farm (a commune in WA.), forested area, no running water (used the creek), no gas (used wood stove and kerosene lamp), no electricity, a log cabin in the dead of winter. Never recommend it for older people...like I am now. :)

This couple is not young at all, they are in their mid 60s.  But they have power and running water and even an old fashioned land line. They also have a wood burning stove for heat and a root cellar full of food a garden and a small orchard.

I have no desire to live that way, but they could not be happier.

Yes, as  well as an anarchist, occultist, a yippie and a few others.

Wow Yowm!!

 

Years ago at a church I used to attend, I was introduced to a Christian guy who used to be in the occult and I remember distinctly being afraid to talk to him - 

 

(I have to add though, it was just my own fear - no  prompting of any sort)

Was Lobsan Rampar (not sure if that's correct spelling) into occult?

Knew someone who read his books many years ago, but is Christian now.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
