first 3d ellen white?

Looks like i’ve been beaten to the punch. The first 3D Ellen White i’ve ever seen is at:
ellenvision.com

Click on the “Watch: My First Vision” tab.

I know the man behind the ellenvision.net website, and think he may be behind this new site somehow.

Hats off to whoever made this for getting something done in this area. It is great to see, and gives me impetus 🙂

global warming belief fading, global government warming up


Glad to hear that Americans are waking up to the near-universal global warming hoax 🙂

http://in.christiantoday.com/articles/american-belief-in-global-warming-takes-a-dive/4688.htm

And a former Thatcher government adviser says: “the real purpose of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen on Dec. 7-18 is to use global warming hype as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government.

“At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed,” Lord Christopher Monckton told a Minnesota Free Market Institute audience on Thursday at Bethel University in St. Paul.”

prayer for meetings, myanmar 1858 great controversy

Tomorrow, Lord willing, i will be going to Bombay for 4 days for what is said to be the first SDA evangelistic effort for Tamil speakers there. There are a few dedicated families who have gotten together, and have rented a hall. They are expecting around 500 to attend, with Pastor John Willmott being the main speaker. I hope to give away some drawings of the Second Coming, and sell some Tamil 1858gc books too.

Two weeks ago i got info that someone donated funds to reprint 3,000 Vietnamese 1858 Great Controversy books, and then last week info that the Myanmar 1858gc has been printed. Today i got a email that a group in Ukraine is studying this book after church every Sabbath. My cup is running over ;0

Please keep these meetings, 1858gc book work, and myself in your prayer.

counterfeit water

After feeling lethargic for 4 weeks, and vomiting twice during that time, i finally got smart and decided to buy bottled water. Now during this time i was using boiled water, which should be ok, but it was not. The first taste of the bottled water (20l) revived me, and i felt very good for the remainder of that bottle and the next bottle. But last week we got a new bottle, and when i woke in the nite and took a sip of it, i knew exactly what it was – the same water as our boiled water. Sure enough, i could not eat breakfast, and was on the verge of upchucking everything most of the day. When a little bottle was brought me, it tasted so good.

I felt like i shouldn’t be such a weaky, so washed my cabbage and carrot in the old bottled water last nite, and ate. Within 30 seconds, i needed to use the toilet. I couldn’t even finish my meal without going to the toilet.

We were told at the shop that all the big bottled water is basically the same, they just have different stickers to put on the outside of the bottle so people think they are getting something different. I’ve found that most everything in India is relative, with police officers killing innocent people to get rewards, people selling things that have no relation to anything in reality, and people pushing religion for reasons they don’t even know themselves. What a cesspool. And to think that this place also has some of the grace of God… It makes me shudder to think what Satan wants to drive us all down to.

moneybags

I’ve been here over 5 weeks now, staying in Mumbai the first 4 days, then here in Pune, then 2 days back in Mumbai, and possibly going to Mumbai again next weekend. There are a few strong Christians i’ve met, but most everybody, even of the church members, are just looking for money. And with this face, i look like Mr. Moneybags, so i have to be on my toes. I’ve already been approached to “invest” money so someone could lay claim to their 18,000,000usd inheritance from South Africa. They wanted me to pay several thousand dollars so they could buy some liquid to pour on the US money that had been covered with something black to keep from counterfeiting. They showed me lots of important looking papers from the US Embassy, from the United Nations, from the World Bank etc. etc. You would think that someone hoping to scam thousands of dollars from someone would at least go to the trouble of making sure the spelling on their fake documents would be correct, but, well, i guess they are just scam “artists”, not scam “professionals”. Yet, i heard later that someone did get scammed in a similar manner. May these men (one a church members) realize they are doing a bad thing, and stop, and do something productive to help society.

where in the world?

I’ve told several people that i’m 100% sure that i should be busy about making a movie on the 1858 Great Controversy book (hence this web site’s domain name). But i’m not sure about “where” to do that. I’ve thot India was best for several reasons, such as availability of talent and skilled people in the animation field, and also for the low cost of labor. My ability to accept awfulness of surroundings tho is deteriorating as i get older, and the wretched smells and noises and sights of India are reallly wearing on me.

Let’s see, a lady in Malaysia said i am welcome to come there anytime. A doctor in Alabama said i am welcome to stay as long as i work there. A friend in Switzerland basically offered me help to settle there for awhile. My old landlord in Japan offered her house for me too. Probably one other friend in Thailand would like to have me there too. A man in Vietnam invited me to come to a school there in the future. Then yesterday i got an offer from Georgia asking if i would consider teaching at their new English language school they are opening up, and that i could have plenty of free time to work on my animation too.

All so attractive, but i’m afraid not God’s will. By his mysterious providence, i’m homeschooling the 2 children of the house where i am staying, and am committed to help them for at least one school year.

Lord, give me patience with these children, give me signs showing you are leading with this animation – like providing some workers and funds, and please accept my humble efforts to give you glory in any area of service to which i’m called – big or small (as seen by human eyes).

stomach turning

There are many “interesting sights” in India. I remember thinking while here 3 years ago that there is no need for a tv, (i don’t watch anyway), as there is always something “impossible” happening just outside your window.

My friend here likes to say: “India, where the impossible is always possible”. I’d like to change that to: “India, where the only “impossible” is “impossible!”

Yesterday i rode from Mumbai to Pune by train. After getting into the mountains it was beautiful, but up to that point – oooh no! – the worst you can imagine, and then some. Just the smell passing thru nearly made me sick. How can the people live in that mess?

But the “cake” for this category was in watching from my balcony the other day. Now i’m staying in a relatively nice, quiet area of Pune….. A cow walked down the middle of the asphalt road, and left a big pie — ooooooooh. Within one minute an auto-rickshaw had made a u-turn in the middle of it, making it a bit like a pancake — yucko. Then soon after, a dog came, eating it up — (insert appropriate response here).

homeschooling

Today i started homeschooling the 2 children of the family i stay with – 7yo and 4yo. It is a precious experience, as i love children, and love to see them grow close to Jesus. It is good therapy for me too, to get me away from doing too much computing – ha! Just while typing this the 4yo girl told her brother who wouldn’t let her play with his blocks: “Then i don’t want to be your friend anymore”. It didn’t escape my ears, so i went over to her and asked her what she said. She wouldn’t say, so i said if it was something good, then there was no need to hide it, but if something bad, then Jesus knows all things. I asked if she remembered what we studied this morning – the motto of our whole homeschool: “Do to others what you want them to do to you”. She nodded, and said again what she had said. I asked if she wanted her brother to say this to her. She said “no”, and soon we were on our knees asking forgiveness from the brother and from Jesus too. What a nice experience 🙂

We did worship, exercises, Bible reading in Matthew 7:12, ABC writing, punctuation marks, how to ask questions, walked around the streets with me asking questions about how metal and concrete is made, and how God protects the various fruits we see (papaya and cocnut) from being eaten easily by animals, 5 minutes of addition, typing on the computer, and then the 3 names of big wind storms. It was sad to see that over 400 people are feared dead in Taiwan because of a typhoon.

Lord, please bless the start of this little school, and may we do everything to your glory. Please send your angels and Spirit here to keep a pure atmosphere around these precious little ones, and give me patience and wisdom with dealing with them.

new sister

I arrived in India on July 23, and spent the first Sabbath travelling around 4 small meeting places in the slum area of Mumbai. It was nice to see people interested in following Jesus in the midst of the inhuman mess 😉

Yesterday i met a woman who i have been able to call “Sister” for 12 days. She went to a former church member’s home where she was given one of these English 1858 Great Controversy books about 2 years ago. She emailed me, and i got her in contact with a faithful Brother who lives in the same city she does. He wrote me often about how strong the simple faith is of this lady, and told me recently that she was already giving testimonies in church that were making church members wake up from their Laodicean slumber! In her emails she told me stories etc. of how her Hindu family members would persecute her physically and emotionally, but she stayed true to Jesus. Then, when she was grounded in the truth and desirous of baptism, she was refused by the SDA pastor who was afraid that her family members might cause him trouble. But praise God she finally found a blind pastor who isn’t afraid, and he baptized her Sabbath a week ago. It was wonderful to meet her, and to get the joy of knowing a tiny, little bit that you have had a part in bringing someone to Jesus, to live forever together 🙂

India is a crazy, dirty, awful place desperately in need of Christ, and thankfully, many people are desiring a better life than they now have.

Now i’m in Pune, laying plans on how to spread this 1858gc book, and how to make a 3d movie of it. Everyone’s comments and advice is welcome. Of course anyone who wishes to work on making this will be very very very welcome!

from persecution to watery grave

I just got a email today from a Indian girl i’ve been in contact for almost 2 years saying she is getting baptized tomorrow. Her Hindu father and brother used to beat her and lock her in her room for reading the Bible and trying to go to church on sabbath, and the SDA pastors were afraid to baptize her because they feared trouble from the family, but she found a blind pastor who isn’t afraid, and she is joining the family of God tomorrow – sweet!!

Thank you, thank you Jesus 🙂

global warming for global governance

Former Vice President Al Gore declared that the Congressional climate bill will help bring about “global governance.”

“I bring you good news from the U.S., “Gore said on July 7, 2009 in Oxford at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by UK Times.

“Just two weeks ago, the House of Representatives passed the Waxman-Markey climate bill,” Gore said, noting it was “very much a step in the right direction.” President Obama has pushed for the passage of the bill in the Senate and attended a G8 summit this week where he agreed to attempt to keep the Earth’s temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees C.

Gore touted the Congressional climate bill, claiming it “will dramatically increase the prospects for success” in combating what he sees as the “crisis” of man-made global warming.

“But it is the awareness itself that will drive the change and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global governance and global agreements.”

Surely wide-awake Christians could all see this coming!? Lies in science will lead to slavery if not rejected. God will let them believe a lie if they wish, but it is to their own hurt. Only the truth as it is in Jesus will make us free.

wanderwegging in switzerland

It was a beautiful morning, so i took off over the “wanderweg” (wander-lane), to the train station to buy a ticket to the airport near Milan, Italy which i will be flying out of next Thursday. The sign said 45 minutes, and everyone told me that was for “family” walkers, so i should be able to do it in around 25 minutes. Well, i went about 20 minutes, and came to a road, and no more signs. So i go this way and then that way, and finally pick up the signs again. They are pointing to the station – back the way i came from! I wound up walking around for 2.5 hours, until i finally came to the station. Yes, it was only about 5 minutes from the road i came to in the morning, where there were no more signs! It struck me while walking, how Switzerland is so, so precise, and even the signs for little “wanderwegs” are made so well, yet they don’t point in the right direction!! haha. If you look at the scenery i enjoyed along the way tho, you can tell i sure didn’t mind the extra exercise 🙂

sub-continent happiness

Things are looking good for the sub-continent, as the civil war in Sri Lanka is over, and the election results in India favor a secular (as opposed to Hindu) government.

May we use the time wisely to spread the words of the Lord in this period of peace and prosperity.
