FusionCash / Auf Wiedersehen!

« on: October 13, 2020, 10:20:38 am »Message ID: 1342128

Well, I figure I owed everyone an explanation over my absence. I know what typically happens when a long time member doesn't come down to breakfast as it were. A post will be made saying 'where's so and so.' People will feign concern, etc. But I couldn't help succumbing to the drama of leaving the site 10 years to the day I joined, so I waited. 

I pretty much realized over the summer that I'd gone as far as I could go with FC. I honestly knew my days were done once my credits started to expire (and I'll admit, if FC changed the silly rule I'd still be here today.)

As I've said before, FC was there for me when I was in need of some extra cash. I only wish the site were as lucrative for me now. The time & effort put in to getting surveys is no longer worth it for me. If FC ever goes back to not having to qualify for the daily PTC or at least has regular videos that make that viable again, I'm certainly open to returning.

So I'm not burning any bridges, not deleting my account. I may even show up from time to time just to see if the site makes it worth my while to resume using it. But I'm probably finished as an 'active' member for the time being at least.

For those wondering, yes, I'm still disappointed that FC allowed hitch to run roughshod over the forum. And yes, as of now, they still haven't responded to my most recent support tickets. Last I heard they were looking into how to remove him permanently, but apparently it's not a pressing concern to them after an entire year.

Regarding hitch and his 91 other personas, I don't regret leaving the constant battles (which I'm sure his inflated ego will cause him to declare another victory    ) Matt 7:6 Jesus said “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." Obviously, hitch will not listen to reason, and to go over and over the same ground seems foolish at best, self serving at worst.

I've done all I could to defend the Gospel of Jesus Christ against his satanic doctrines. I left an example for you to follow in defending the truth. Now all you who are my brothers & sisters in Christ, must take up my mantle in my sted. I leave you with a final verse. One from the great Apostle Paul. Even for him, the race had to eventually end: Acts 20:25-31

 “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again. Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you. For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.  Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.  Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.  So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears."

If anyone is interested in following me, I won't make it difficult (in fact an anonymous member has already sought me out!) just look up Johnnie Torch on twitter. I'm there way too often. 

And so, thank you to FC, thank you to all the nice people I've met and remember- Keep the flame burning brightly, and I'll be with you again real soon. (my youtube sign off   )

Off-Topic / Stargirl!

Anybody check out Stargirl? It's actually pretty good. It's about a girl who takes on her dad's Superhero mantle and reforms the classic Justice Society of America.

It's pretty cool. Not as soap opera heavy as some of CW's other shows.

Off-Topic / Happy Easter!

« on: April 11, 2020, 07:23:00 pm »Message ID: 1320624

Everyone have a Happy & Blessed Easter!Luke 24:36-49
 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.  He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?  Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.  And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”  They gave him a piece of broiled fish,  and he took it and ate it in their presence.

 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”

 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.  He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,  and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.  I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

Off-Topic / Good Friday

Today we honor Christ's great sacrifice on our behalf, for the forgiveness of our sins. 

Isaiah 53 gave the prophecy of Jesus Atoning Work on our behalf in amazing detail, centuries before it all occurred.

Who has believed our message
    and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
    and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
    nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
    he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

 Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
    stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.
 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
    each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
    for the transgression of my people he was punished.
 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
    and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.

 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
    and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
 After he has suffered,
    he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.
 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
    and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
    and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
    and made intercession for the transgressors.

Today marks Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem marking the beginning of Holy Week.

  'The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,“Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the king of Israel!”

Rush has announced he has 'advanced' lung cancer. As a long time fan, I pray for his recovery.

Well, the latest episode in the Star Wars Saga is nearly upon us. Since it's so close to Christmas, I probably won't find time for it until next year. Not much of a fan of what Disney has done to the franchise thus far, but I'll still check it out, just for the heck of it.

The CWs DC crossover extravaganza hit the airwaves this past week and I gotta say I quite enjoyed it for the most part. All the heroes from Arrow The Flash, Supergirl, Black Lightening, Batwoman & Legends of Tomorrow all joined forces to save the universe from the evil of the Anti-Monitor!

Well, it's been another tumultuous month here on the FC forum. I've got my posts for another month, so I'll take my leave till after the holiday.

Remember give thanks to God for all your blessings!

 My favorite verse to read for Thanksgiving is  Colossians 3:15: "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."

Happy Thanksgiving!

Off-Topic / Supergirl Season 5

« on: October 20, 2019, 12:30:32 pm »Message ID: 1297774

After a fairly lacking season last year, Supergirl looks to bounce back, with the focus on the treacherous heel-turn of her bestie Lena Luthor.

I hate that they changed her costume. But that may be the least of her problems this season, with the ax of cancellation getting ever heavy each season...
