I saw a movie about 2 Russian agents who were to set off a bomb, and what each didn’t know was that Moscow wanted each one dead, the male and female spy, so they sent them both a separate secret message to jkill the other one.
But they both actually had an affair, and were to say the least, intimate with reach other.
Both wanting to serve their masters back in Moscow the woman set up a way for the male to die and the male who was completely unaware that the woman had set a booby trap for him that would kill him, he got a gun and killed her, and she would kill him later when he walked in to the trap she set for him.
Both could have avoided the deaths of each other by getting British protection (s they were in England) and getting away to live elsewhere as British citizens. People always say that they had no choice, but there are always other choices – the real problem is that people tend to be foolishly loyal to people who couldn’t care less about them, and they perish supporting the very people who don’t even like them, they just pretend.
Zulu Time
Zulu (Zulu time) is used in the military and navigation for timekeeping purposes to avert confusion when coordinating with countries using other time standards.
Zulu time was created to eliminate the confusion caused by different time zones.
It’s used by the military, swat, police or similar forces around the world so they can have a common reference time point no matter where they are in the world.
What was the “silly thing” I bought a week ago that I had doubts about and thought I may have been silly and done a foolish thing?
It was a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, the latest that sells in NZ for about $700 new.
I had been searching for a refurbished watch, and I was hoping to get a Watch 6. But I found a site that sold this Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 for $300, there were more and they were more expensive. So i laid out the cash and bought it, and then got an email saying that it was coming from Hong Kong.
I hadn’t realised that. Anyways, it took about 6 days to get to New Zealand.
And it was in a sealed Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 box.
So, I went on the Internet to find out what a new Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 looked like and what sealed box it came in, and it was exactly the same as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 box mine came in, and was sealed exactly the same. So, as far as i can tell, my Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is new, not second hand, and I got it cheap not because it was stolen, but because it was brought from the source brand new. Remember, that the iPhones that cost over $1000 here are actually made for $10 USD in China.
So, for $300 its a deal for sure. I have been using it for a few days now and it works great. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra has the same inside as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, so all the watch faces and such that work with the much more expensive Ultra work in my Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 as well.
When I was a child most of the lighters were kerosene lighters. You put in the “flint” that caused the spark, and you could buy a box of flints for cheap. Kerosene was cheap. And the lighters were all steel or tin etc, they lasted for many years.
Then the likes of Bic came along with the cheap plastic lighters, and people saw the TV advertising, wanted these new lighters and stopped buying the lighters that lasted for many years. The Bic was probably going to last a year.

Thomas A Kempis in his wonderful book says: “My friend, why delay till tomorrow, what can be done to-day?”

The church meetings were heavily biased in favour of whatever the Pastor wanted. It took me a while to figure this out.
The Deacon and the other “member” were both working at the Achievement Center and both had “issues”, neither had car licenses because of their issues, and neither was able to hold a job due to those issues, as both were to some degree mentally disabled/impaired. The Pastor had told them (before I joined to the church) that God demanded that they support their Pastor, that they be submissive, and that if there was a vote always to side with the Pastor.
After a few so-called meetings, and “mens voting” (women were not allowed to vote originally), it was clearly obvious that whenever Terry or I made a suggestion and the Pastor did not agree with the suggestion he was never outvoted because both the Deacon and Brian always without fail voted on the side of the Pastor. Gary never came to the meetings. So the Pastors vote was always 3 votes.
In the end, Terry and the Pastor had a huge fight, and so did I and we left the church.
I tried to get many changes made to the church, and so did Terry, but the Pastor always shut down our efforts.
It was a one-sided church, never gaining in congregation, and many ex-members called it Mata’s Church or Mata’s Social Club, because the Pastor and his wife totally controlled everything. I was never allowed a place in the church after my first message/sermon where the congregation was in tears due to the love and understanding I shared with them – the Pastor saw me as a big threat and refused to let me have a Sunday School, or a place in the church hierarchy. In the end I was very happy to lave and have never regretted that decision ever since I left.

We can overthink what it is that we want or need to do, I overthink all the time, but mostly because I am being pushed in to situations I am not comfortable with and know that I won’t enjoy. Overthinking can be a person trying to convince themselves to do things that they don’t actually want to do or believe or think – so they thrash it over and over in their own mind hoping to one day “get it right”, but no matter how much thinking they do, they don’t get it and never really become comfortable with what they are told to accept, be and how to live.
I grew up with many people telling me that if I would just try to do something, then I was sure to like it, because everyone else liked it, and this was simply not true. People seem to disregard our own personal feelings and comfort zones, and then assume that they don’t have what they think are our own personally enforced limitations to fun and life, then we should just shut-up, take their word for it, and we will love it, but we don’t when we try it.
I have always been very happy loner, when I was younger I got lonely, but not at all now. Traveling through life on my own was not a goal, but it has become an enjoyment.
Of course, people teach us to dislike them, dislike gatherings, dislike company with them, and once a Soul becomes used to being abandoned, pushed out of groups, denied love, denied hugs, that person tends to reject people, social events and such, and in surprise tends to see the immense failings in a faked false world of materialistic greedy, selfish people – and then it becomes clear, that it is not that we were not made for these times, we are just the few with open thinking that have discovered that he or she is surrounded by fake people, faking happiness, working in slavery and thinking that they are free, and a lot of people on mental health drugs telling me that I am the one with problems because I don’t like how they live.
When people live unnatural lives, in a mass, they assume that those who don’t conform are weird, and this is because the plastic cannot understand the natural thinking and natural living.
In church we had rogue pastors, and if anyone at all mentioned the bad behaviour of a Pastor or his family the person complaining was told to be quiet and leave the pastor alone. What was interesting is that these Baptists called the Catholics a cult because the Catholics protected child-abusing Priests, but in their won Baptist religion they too protected badly behaved Pastors.
There are warning signs of dictatorship or cult leaders, but what I have seen is that those in a cult setup are quick to push away “any thoughts” that the person who they have faith in is tricking them, and teaching them to fear or hate those who could save them.
Modern day cults can be a home, a house where the occupants are taught over a long period of time to be submissive so that the dictator or cult leader in the home can control them. They could be of many homes, who all belong to a religious or non-religious group, and the house occupants has a cult member grooming the other members of the home. After a period of time the members of the house are so well mentally trained and groomed that they will refuse to get any advice or help to escape their mental-prison, they will defend, protect, their captors, and will attack and hate people trying to free them. And no amount of common sense can talk them out of their delusional irrational thinking.
