| Re: | | Greetings Heartsong
I have read through some of the differing views on this topic and found some interesting things. You mentioned in one of your threads that cell phones do cause cancer but I just wanted to share with you that even those in the American Cancer Society do not have enough information to support that. On there website they go into great detail about this and if you would like you can read it here:
http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/cellular-phone-towers
I do believe that there can be over use of cell phones, just as with any other tool it can be abused. I do also agree that cells phones, because of the internet capability, can be addictive to some. I know people who can not go thirty minutes with out checking their phones for text, email, or just the latest news stories. I do believe this can be harmful for some spiritually but then so can anything that people hold on to and prize above JESUS. As far as cell phones making people sick? I did read a very interesting article about how germs are passed around and how cell phones can carry and breed more germs then most other surfaces. Its interesting because we do hold on to our phones and pass them around to others then put them up to our mouth to speak with out giving much thought to how many germs might be on them :) I think what I have learned from this is to make sure I clean my phone if I am sick, and to wipe it down occasionally so I don't spread my germs to anyone else. This is something I do out of consideration for others just like I cover my mouth when I cough.
At the end of the day, not all the research is in. Will they prove in the future that cell phones and towers have a direct link to cancer, I don't know, maybe? but the evidence is not there now. All we have is today to follow JESUS and live our lives unto HIM. HE calls us to do so with out fear and to place our trust in HIM in all things. You have mentioned that you are surrounded by cell towers and radio waves that you feel are making you sick. The truth is we are all surrounded by things that can make us sick each day. I pray that you will find peace as you go knowing that JESUS is your covering, that HE is watching over you protecting you. In HIM we have nothing to fear, we walk by faith and trust in HIM.
God bless maryjane

| Re: | | "Because they know the dangers of owning and operating cellular devices, cellular providers have wrangled legislations that protect them from liability related to their products. Further, no insurance companies will pay for illnesses caused by prolonged use of cellular devices; this also protects the cellular providers. They were at one point even trying to make it necessary for customers to sign an agreement to not participate in suing them."

Dear sister, you write...........
'Dear brother Frank, Jesus is my grand obsession."
Amen sister, people with grand obsessions, always talk about that which their obsession centers upon. Out of the abundance of our hearts the mouths speak.
You write....
"The scripture that you quoted intimates that I am not currently of a sound mind and that I am in fear. I took those words into my spirit when I was in Barnsdall and as a result the devil was all over me, for they put me in unbelief."
I reject that completely sister. Taking the words of God into your spirit will never put you in dis-belief. The word of God is how we measure all things. If you were not in fear then or now, then why would Scripture have an adverse effect upon you sister? Now sister, we have know each other for many years and prayed together over years. I am not your enemy for speaking the truth to you, can you see that I am not your enemy? Do you not believe that the steps of righteous men and women are ordered of God and that God Himself ordered our paths to cross last year? God called you to Barnsdall last year for a purpose I believe sister, the purpose was that you would encounter fellow brothers and sisters who love you deeply and would only ever want to see what is best for you, I include myself in that number. I love you and my prayers are with you, even as I walked this morning with the Lord you were on my heart and in my prayers...........bro Frank
One day a lady from Jehovah's Witness came to my door and quoted me much scripture. She was also very nice to me. But her words were not unto life, they were unto death. |

| Re: | | Heartsong,
Was the person that came knocking on your door a friend and a sister for many years or merely a random cult member?....bro Frank |

| Re: | | Heartsong,
It seems your comparing myself sharing those Scriptures with you last year, because of course what you were sharing with me, with a cult member that showed up on your door? Did I get that wrong? Perhaps we should just agree to disagree. I will certainly not make the same mistake twice, let us simply pray for each other..........bro Frank |

| Re: | | Appolus,
Are you certain you did not miss the mind of Christ when you gave advice that time? Are you not as capable to err as Watchman Nee who witnessed his strength leave him just as he was to knock on the brother's door to provide exhortation? Or the older prophet who compelled the younger to dine with him who was later mauled by lions because he had not obeyed the Lord's explicit instruction? The elder prophet told the younger that The Lord had instructed him to invite him to eat. See 1 Kings 13.
Please don't make a hasty judgement brother. |

| Re: | | Jeremy, in order for me to justify myself to you or any others I would have to reveal the content of my face to face conversation with this dear sister. I am not prepared to do that. It is a small thing to be judged by others, it only matters what the Lord knows. This will be my last post on this thread, I bow out with deep sadness.......bro Frank |

Online! | Re: | | Brethren,
We are going to lock this thread we do not want to condone or promote saints speaking to each other in a public forum where it could be done privately in love to the other. By saying and doing this we are not supporting anyone but simply asking saints that more personable things be emailed to the individual.
May our words minister life and also realize there is a watching world of tens of thousands of people reading our comments as we bear the name of Jesus Christ.
this thread is locked.
