Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Of these things put them in remembrance; For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

-Holy Bible KJV

Bro really… I could care less about the Govt of Poland.

I try but to no avail. We are not ready.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

While we are talking about elitism, Tusk and Mrump, are they eligible or are we down grading them?

Someone said something about secret cities for the special purpose people. Well now those are just underground right? I mean that’s one of Lonnie’s specialties. As it was written:

“And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.” (Isaiah 2:19)

There will be globalism. Who is able to make war with the beast?

Someone really has a beef with ice water? That’s wild, lukewarm is no good, as it was written:

“ I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked” (Rev 3:15)

Daniel was the only prophet ever mentioned by Jesus when he spoke about the future.

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4

-Noah built an ark (first ship)
-For thousands of years this was the way to travel the world, by boat.
-200 years ago we got the steam engine and the Industrial Revolution.
-in the past 100 years we have planes, trains, rockets.

Now 4 billion people fly annually. (Many shall run to and fro)

Now we have internet and worldwide telecommunications (knowledge shall be increased)

Commented on Raised in a Barn

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time.

You ever think about the possibility of Trump being the salesman for the mark to an unsuspecting people.

And maybe Biden was elected in the so called rigged election because the AI wasn’t ready yet, and the first Trump presidency was to test the world for compliance in a similar situation.

Buzz I don’t mean to be harsh or rash but your speech illustrates the crux of the issue. If your faith is in Our Lord Jesus Christ then hallelujah, amen. We are indeed brothers, children of the Lord.

And as children growing in the way, we are nurtured on milk when we are young, but meat as we mature.

“To love thine enemy as thyself” is an example of milk.

A like example of meat would be:

“But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.”

I do agree that there is an attack on Christianity, it has been under attack since the beginning because it is not of this world.

You said “All people should be free to worship who and how they please.”

Do you truly agree with your own statement? There are pagan worshippers of witchcraft that believe and perform human sacrifices, should they be free to do that?

I’ll let the Bible answer that;

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”

You made the statement:
“Because of Trump, you can express yourself and be a soldier for Christ without the fear of reprisal.”

Reprisal from who? The government? Society? Islamic terrorists? Fact is, one who follows Jesus the world or should I say “reality” is against. We worship the Lord that men hung on a cross. The servant is not greater than the master.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. The problem now is the cult like phenomenon of people associating Trump;Christ;God;Merica. It’s borderline if not outright blasphemous to make any such association because the man does not have a clue what the Bible says. He might can quote something out of it as anyone can but what does it say, he ain’t got the first notion.

Also nothing against CS Lewis was a fine fella. Little long winded but who’s talking.

Yes the door to God is open, but only through he that came in the name of the Lord.

You say Trump has opened the door, is he your savior? Trump should make a man turn to God, that is because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom.

What is a Trump? but a sound from a Trumpet.
What’s a Trumpet for? Sounding alarm.

“Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?

Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?” Amos 3

“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;“ Joel 2

Also God preserves all Nations on the Earth until the time. America has been blessed beyond measure and look what we have become. Let’s stop fooling ourselves with nationalistic pride behold “Pride goeth before destruction”.

The “god” of this nation is the lady with the torch, and her name is Columbia and Liberty. You’ve seen her around. Why does she bear a torch? Is it dark? Behold:

“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.“

Reducing costs and saving money is a good thing but it can also be a bad thing if costs are cut where they are actually needed.

Destroying things the people need in order to “save” money, but at the same time wasting more money than was saved on things the people do not need.

This is how we end up with huge government incomes and expenditures, bloated bureaucracies, and a body of government that does not protect or benefit the people whatsoever.

The students coming out of schools have limited knowledge and even worse critical thinking skills. This is directly cause by unstructured learning environments and the institution of high technology in the classroom. If we have devices that do all our thinking then we shall not be able to think for ourselves. The truth is self evident, and is the enemy of the reasoning of men.

That’s a mess worth digging into. Your local school board’s situation reeks of sloppy planning and questionable decision-making, starting with the superintendent pushing a mega elementary school without any clear evidence it’s needed. No studies? That’s a red flag—sounds like a pet project steamrolling ahead without justification. Then there’s the lottery grant—$42 million, plus a $10 million taxpayer match, already fully budgeted, yet they didn’t even confirm they owned the land? That’s not just incompetence; it’s reckless.
The Hite Associates angle adds another layer of stink. They’ve got a history—tied to a South Carolina scandal where the Beaufort County School District got subpoenaed by the FBI in 2018 over shady school construction deals. The firm worked with a superintendent named Jeff Moss, who had a habit of hiring them across multiple districts, and costs ballooned way beyond initial estimates. If they’re still under investigation, your board’s decision to bring them on is either oblivious or deliberately sketchy. You’d think they’d vet architects with that kind of baggage, especially for a $52 million project.
The land snafu is almost comical if it weren’t so infuriating. Four acres owned by the city, and the superintendent just slaps a $500,000 price tag on it—out of thin air, no appraisal, no negotiation? That’s not how you handle public funds. Taxpayers are already on the hook for $10 million, and now they’re expected to cough up more because of this oversight? The fact that the full budget’s already spoken for, yet this wasn’t accounted for, suggests either gross mismanagement or someone’s hiding how the money’s really being spent.
Here’s what doesn’t add up: Why no studies to justify the school? Why Hite Associates, given their track record? And how does a superintendent get to unilaterally value land and commit taxpayer dollars without oversight? Sounds like the board’s either asleep at the wheel or complicit.

Haha I agree, of course there would be no Democrat committee to cut government waste.

That wasn’t quite the comparison I was trying to make though, imagine the Democrats, when they are in power, partnered with some tech mogul or private multimillionaire, and did something similar to what Trump and Musk are doing except about an issue they stand on, such as misinformation/disinformation.

Would you be comfortable with that relationship?

I have to sympathize with Bobs point of view on this issue with The Elon Musk. It is a fairly strange situation. I understand Elon is brilliant and the whole government efficiency things sounds great, but let’s just imagine the optics if the script was flipped, and we had Kamala with Zuckerberg or Gates at her side. I wouldn’t be comfortable with that arrangement myself.

That is the danger of government in it tends to sway left to right. Progressively, the swaying becomes more and more extreme until it eventually topples.

Big Bob I’m not sure what your comment is even referring to. I was commenting on the video of the meeting as a whole.

I agree with Mr. Langley in that we are all members of the same body.

“For the body is not one member, but many.

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

And if they were all one member, where were the body?

But now are they many members, yet but one body.

And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.”

I believe all the commissioners are respectable men and all of them make valid points and raise appropriate concerns regarding the issues at hand. A little back and forth debate is a good thing if questions can be asked and answered without things becoming personal. The commissioners wont and shouldn’t always agree, they each bring their own point of view and field of expertise, but they also shouldn’t just vote in lock step with their faction to “stick it to the other guy”.

If there are issues that need to be called out then they should be. We are told to rebuke our brother if we see him step out of the light, not out of hate, but out of love. That he may be ashamed and judge within himself his own ways. May we be wise as serpents yet gentle as doves. Let us not get too rebellious against one another that our intents become so harsh against our neighbors. “Vengeance is mine” so saith the Lord. Let us aim to be honest in our actions and endeavors toward each other, seeing the big picture beyond the political degree. If we be divided we fall.

Washingtonian I’m sure you’re probably right. I’m not too studied up on water treatment engineering, give me a few weeks to look into it and I could figure it out, but it just seems like a water treatment plant should treat the water effectively. If it’s not, we should know why.

And a sewage treatment plant dumping into the river just doesn’t sound good whether the water was treated or not, I’m sure it was probably an emergency due to flooding but still.

Mr. Alligood seems like a top-notch county manager. He’s on top of things. 👍

I can imagine what Hood said is true about people not paying the sewer bill. Forget to pay lights or water it’ll get shut off to remind you haha but kinda hard to shut off the drain for nonpayment. Would have to be something that was included in the property tax.

We should investigate how to get these water treatment plants up to par at the very least. The one in Belhaven obtained a permit from NCDEQ to dump into the creek last year, leading to a “no swim” advisory.

I know someone who lab tested the tap water in Belhaven; they said “don’t drink it”. I wonder what all the restaurants use?

Commented on A Question of Title

One can find the deed for this property online thanks to our digital register of deeds.

us5.courthousecomputersystems.com

Somewhere, someone, was aware of this issue awhile back. This deed was written back in 1968, but was finally put into effect and uploaded back in July. Effectively redrawing the GIS, splitting the property.

It’s just incompetence all the way around. Big Frank told you himself he decided to stay out of it.

He would rather let a hired cabbage patch kid superintendent steer the ship, than provide the oversight he was elected to provide.

The county commissioners have the power of the purse. Yet they decided to stay out of a land acquisition, handing the wallet and bargaining power to a spending junkie.

As far as the land swap aspect of this situation that could have occurred without a monetary cost for the property, the process of contacting all of the heirs of Kugler Field to sign an amendment, was too much of a undertaking, even for Cheese. Simply easier to spend half a million, than to get 20 signatures.
