Violent Storm No Warning

[Deborah]

Well everyone Deborah now understands
INSTANTLY UPON YOU
and all other scriptures regarding sudden destruction.

A violent fast moving NO WARNING storm ripped through my development and destroyed the front of the first home my side. The tiny little phillipino lady and her son are ok.

Part of her home is in the open field across the entrance. I have NEVER witnessed anything like this in my life. Only on TV news.

I was in another room and I said hmm wonder why TV is quiet. By the time I walked in livingroom the winds were whipping. Trees were going crazy and the rain was awful.

No warning just TV and then BAM. I never prayed so hard in my life.

I now have a first hand idea of what this world will be in for whether I am still living or not.

I have to go now. Still shaken. Good night


NOTE:

No word yet on storm. It is still raining though.

I just wanted to add that I will be (OTR) off the radar field awhile.

I don't like to broadcast my heart issues all over the place but just wanted to say I have not been feeling too well.


This past year has been challenging. Like Mick I took the jab and I don't think that helped my situation. I took all three (Moderna, whatever it is
Called).

This month I have been iron infused, had so many appointments and I am still feeling bad.

I refused blood and a new med. Well too much to go into on public forum. I am down to 135 lbs and it is not a healthy looking weight loss.

So without sounding like the friends I saw always talk about their health issues at the kh, I am gonna "chill lax" for awhile. I am just tired.

All take care. There are several here I communicate with via email. I will email you soon as to what is happening.

Big hugs to all
Debs

Oh my goodness!!! So sorry to hear about this Deborah. I hate that you had to go through this and hope that you’re going to be ok. I’m just happy to know that you weren’t hurt in any way. But it sure is strange in the way it happened.
I wonder if it was a tornado…whether it was or not, why no advanced warning of some sort?
Just know that Jehovah sees and is watching. I pray you’ll have a restful night sleep.

Wow. So glad you're safe. Please be safe. You'll be in our prayers.

 

[Deborah]

I am ok now Jahrule. But that storm really did something to me.

I had to withdraw for a few days and collect my whole self.

There was no mention of a tornado. But it hit us quick and moved out in a matter of minutes. We have had trees fall on roofs and big messes. But never the front of a house/sunroom or whatever it was blown off.

So much damage to the front of that woman's home. She must have been scared to death in there with her young son. Her husband passed in 2021.

As far as my health, Jehovah and the few meds I take are keeping me here for now.

I refuse to go through anymore surgeries or procedures. I am tired of being poked, prodded and all else. No more. I just thank Jehovah for each day I wake up and make the best of it.

At least I can still move and take care of myself even if it takes all day to get it together ☺.

As my dad used to say
"IT BEATS A BLANK

That sounds so frightening to go through. And I'm sure being alone and not feeling well made you feel all the more vulnerable. That's a big deal to go through. I am so glad you are okay and that your neighbor and son are okay. A calm heart helps. I will be praying that Jehovah's watchful eye stays on you and provides the calm you need to feel protected and safe and provided for and guides you to the resources that you need to be well. That could happen to all of us and maybe even will at some point. Wow.

Still shaken Stop, but nothing compared to folks who went through loss of life and all belongings in other parts of earth during disasters that tore up their whole community, town. Etc.

But it still does something to you mentally. I now have an emergency go bag for myself and my cat even if it sounds ridiculous. Worked on it yesterday.

As the ole commercial used to say DON'T PLAY AROUND WITH MOTHER NATURE.

Stay safe everyone.

I hope you are ok Deborah. We don’t really have “weather” in England. It’s as boring as the rest of us. It rains and shines, gets a bit windy now and again, but the last time it snowed here was 1947 and a bit in 1962. Put a good walking stick and a ball of string with your go bag, and a good folding knife. If you live in the USA I assume you already have assault rifles and hand grenades!

 

[Deborah]

Barns no damage on my end of block. No damage to other houses either. No one hurt, just shook up.

We get really beat up when storms hit our little town.

I have some neighbors phone numbers cuz sometimes storms hit when they are at work. I have had to call folks during storms to let them know what has happened. Like doors gone with the wind.

2019 storms knocked power out and some of us had water and some did not. No one had electricity for 8 days. Don't ask it was not good. I had generator that was fun for an ole lady. My husband was living but too sick to do anything. Thankfully I had gas to use.

ANYWAY this time it was just frightening especially when you are alone.

But I am ok just shaken this time cuz it was not good.

Thanks for the laugh BARNS. You are a character you do know that right. .

I've been praying that Jehovah gives you calm and support.

I must admit my picture of the American is one of “open carry”, ”concealed carry” and a cellar under the house whose walls are lined with every imaginable weapon and survival kit - and that no one ever ever stops for the police because if you do you have 20 of them screaming at you, hysterically ordering you to “show us you hands” before shooting you Bonnie and Clyde style. (And that all policemen weigh at least 20 stone and live on doughnuts and bagels and are expert at Pit manoeuvres - so was my mother when she learnt to drive!)

 

[Deborah]

I've been praying that Jehovah gives you calm and support.

STOP, Several Jw friends stopped by to see if I needed anything. They said they know I am private but made sure we all had up-to-date phone numbers, and to reach out if I need help. I appreciated that.

There is one brother and 2 sisters who always check in. I thank Jehovah for them. They are SINCERE have been for a long time. Yes I am discreet in sharing somethings, very discreet.

What I feel I need to be doing is spending some more serious Quality time in Jehovah's Word
Which I started last week and less time on social media.

I will still be around, but not as much as I have been.

There are still some things scripturally I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY wrapping my mind around and I think I need to get Jehovah's help.

Me thinks the times are very different now and I need to understand what I can while I can.

This forum is helpful, but now I need to PRAY, READ, PAUSE and MEDITATE. When ya feel Jehovah trying to get your attention you know it. There is no mistake about it.

At my age, I can't afford to not see the promise land (PARADISE) because of ignoring what I feel is a prodding from Jehovah.
I have to get to it NOW.

I am not sure of lots of things but I know from this experience I was SHAKEN more than the other times.

So thanks Stop for prayers of calm and thanks to all others for well wishes. I know we don't wish but you all know what I mean.

I would have to disagree Deborah, though it is certainly true that we should take care in our own course of salvation. There was a reason why we are told not to forsake gathering together, and there is a great deal more to the human psyche than the truth! There is the living of it. We do not solve these things in isolation, or in reading alone. Of all the clerics that I have known and who can recite at will, any scripture (writing) from the bible, Koran, and other “holy books” have all come to their own conclusion. Even amongst ourselves, where we have locked ourselves away, all we can gain is apostasy - look at the GB in their seclusion within their mansion, gathering together as one to become the channel of Jehovah! Where did that come from? Certainly not from the bible, but from the collective agreement from their hive of isolation. Faith grows through its rigorous defence - if we are prepared to learn by testing it in the fire……

“In gathering together, that we provoke one another to love and good works”. Hebrews 10:24-25.
John17.21, That there may be one, as you father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us.”

The pattern of association here is one of humanity. Humour, anger, right, wrong, truth, insight, new thinking, arguing, teaching, learning, questioning, perceiving and perception, spirit and spirituality, learning to be tolerant, to be humble, yet forthright, meek yet firm in faith, teachable (more important that teaching) and to see the greater picture of what truth is, in that it is a substance, not only of life, but in and of living. A living spirit.

Where would prayer direct us? Does it direct us to an oasis where everyone gathers for water, or does it direct us to a dessert island where the company is a simple palm tree that will tell you only that it’s nuts are all there is to eat? We have all been there and the nuts are sterile.

Being at the table requires an etiquette if one is to get well fed. You have to pass the salt daily, you have to eat courses that do not agree with you. Someone’s table manners could do with refinement, but if you want a slice of the lamb, you have to be at the table - and if you are not at the table, you cannot receive, but also cannot share. The host is disappointed, because clearly, his provision did not catch your attention. And it is your contribution to the table that he was looking forward to because no one, not “even the sparrow that falls to earth”, goes unnoticed. Neither do you.

Prayer is relevant and all the more so, when those who pray, pray for knowledge, insight, appreciation, understanding; for knowledge of love and it’s basis for all the other attributes of the spirit when expressed through love. And the answer is always the same: Go to the source, and the source is the temple - knowledge, practice, instruction, discussion - that way we find out what we lack; that way we know what to pray for. I for one shall miss you if you are going part-time and hiding your light under a bushel. !

 

[Edith]

you can do this

Oh Deborah, I'm so sorry I misunderstood you (what else is new). I thought that by 'social media' you referred to Facebook etc. I could understand that, as I have also thrown such sites out of my system and know how difficult that is. But it never occurred to me that you also wanted to distance yourself from this site. I only realized that after reading Barnaby's comment. So please keep up your often funny comments. As a suggestion perhaps: I myself have come to see this site as the meetings, where I come every day to get my portion of spiritual food to think about and than to download 2 articles from Robert's main site, such as from the prophets, into which I sink my teeth. so to speak. Maybe that can also help you gain more understanding? But don't leave - Proverb 3:3 'Do not let loyal love and faithfulness leave you' and 7 warns: 'Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding.' Those are 2 texts that help me 'stay focused' So dear Deborah stay, pleas

Deborah

There are times when I need to be alone with just Jehovah alone and Jesus also had times when he withdrew and spent time alone with his father. I think we all need to get comfortable with relying on him exclusively as I feel there may be times coming up shortly where he's literally all we have and we'll be cut off from everyone and we need to have that space be a default that we are comfortable with. So my new prayer for you is that he guides you with wisdom and understanding so that you feel stable and at peace in him. I am glad that the friends stopped by and checked in on you. I feel that there will be sincere ones who will come through at the end, we just don't know who they all are at the moment.

Much love to you.

 

[Deborah]

Not leaving forum or isolating just STEPPING BACK FOR AWHILE after today to collect my thoughts and how to spend anytime I have left to strengthen my relationship with Jehovah.

As of now it is rather pitiful. That is all I meant.
Did not mean to sound DRAMATIC.



OK as we said back in the day PEACE OUT.
