Yes, we do speak whereof we know, and that was my point in raising
this discussion 2 days ago.
But we also know that regulating the medium is not so much the answer
as regulating the message, and the Holy Ghost regulates *MY* message,
but I agree with you that the Holloween Ghosts and like spirits do
regulate not only many others' messages, but more importantly their
interpretations of our messages.
My concern was that if a mandate comes down "NO INTERNET", then we
have indeed made a tremendous mistake. Not only will it put many good
saints out of work, but it will make us look like the Amish to the
rest of the world, thereby destroying our ability to reach them.
