So Jesus said that he will come back when there is a lot of deception, wrong will seem right, iniquity abounding, and cold hearts.

@bookerdana OK so you are saying that it is no more than when you were younger?

@Carazaa Yes,I mean that throughout History there has been deception lies avarice and greed and cruelty,,mass murder,too

@bookerdana Sorry that you saw that as a child. It didn't happen in my home town ever then, but now it does.

@bookerdana The reason I ask people is because I want to know if people have seen a change in their town. Maybe people in New York have always been cold hearted, I don't know!

@Carazaa As a character said in "Seven Days in May", The Worlds been going to hell in a handbasket since the Garden or there would be no need for a Marine....its been here forever

@bookerdana I don't believe there has been crime as high as now in most towns and countries before now. Never the emigration, corruption, famine, civil unrest, and political divisions in [b]every [/b]country, and on the world news tonight they said crime is way up everywhere!

@Carazaa And that is what you believe....read about the Civil War profiteers who sold tainted meat to the Union army during a war about whether one man could own another,etc etc

@bookerdana I am not talking about the civil war but in most towns in every country there is a change the last 50 years. In my town all babies were left outside by themselves in the sand box and outside stores. I had no supervision at one month old I was left alone outside stores when my Mom shopped in my home town with 10 other babies, no bikes had locks and they didn't need locks. Now no one leaves their babies alone outside in the sunshine while shopping, and bike locks are needed or bikes might be stolen. That was unheard of when I grew up.

@Carazaa Boy, the way Glenn Miller played
songs that made the hit parade
Guys like me we had it made
Those were the days
Didn't need no welfare state
ev'rybody pulled his weight
gee our old LaSalle ran great
Those were the days
And you knew who you were then
girls were girls and men were men
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again
People seemed to be content
fifty dollars paid the rent
freaks were in a circus tent
Those were the days
Take a little Sunday spin
go to watch the Dodgers win
Have yourself a dandy day
that cost you under a fin
Hair was short and skirts were long
Kate Smith really sold a song
I don't know just what went wrong
those were the days.."Allin the Family theme

@bookerdana See each generation it gets worse!

@bookerdana It is not the same ol same ol if you pay attention at all.!

@Carazaa Arch wasn't the most reliable expert..if you don't see the evil in slavery in a free nation ,the ever presence of famine,injustice....look I just don't think its worse..period

@bookerdana There was no slavery, racism, crime, cold hearts, fraud in my home town when I was a child. Now there is a lot of unhappiness, cold hearts, and crime. This is what I am talking about. The slavery, civil war, WW!, WWII were the [b]BEGINNING of plagues [/b]that God speaks about in the BIBLE. Now it's [b]everywhere![/b]
