The nutty blogosphere…

Posted by Terry Nelson on Nov 15th, 2007

 

“Hello?  No, I’m sorry,  there is no one here by that name.” 

When I have nothing to blog about, I go looking for trouble.  I’ve actually picked up a few links in the process.  I’m kind of in to Sr. Mary Martha  now - she is actually very funny - especially if you imagine she really looks like the photo she has of herself.

My favorite nut-job articles are usually found at Spirit Daily.  Was it last week the missing British girl was supposedly seen in Medjugorje?  After a day or two, I had to read the account.  It reminded me of the Hitchcock film, “The Man Who Knew Too Much”… dumb story.  I know people see a lot of stuff in Medj - but Madeleine?  C’mon.  Days later, the sighting is confirmed to be in error  - except for die-hard Medj people - I’m sure for them it was some sort of a sign.

Don’t look at the digital clock!

Another intriguing article on Spirit had to do with people seeing the same numbers all of the time - especially 11:11.  One reader wrote:

“This has been going on for years, especially since September 11,” noted Diane Santoro. “I thought it was odd that I would not look at a digital clock all day and then when I did it was 11:11. Even at night I would wake and it would be 11:11 or 3:00 a.m. After several years I mentioned it to two devout Catholic friends and they said, ‘Us too!’ Today another friend who is close to the Lord said out of the blue that she keeps seeing 11:11.” - Spirit Daily

Wow!  That’s eerie - huh?  I just checked the date on my caller ID screen and it said 11:15.  I’m so glad I didn’t check it on 11:11!

Time flies, doesn’t it?

Spirit Daily is entertaining though.  There was another riveting article on how time seems to be speeding up.  One reader wrote:

“My daughter called her three daughters in for dinner (ages eight for the twins and a ten-year-old).  They said to her, ‘Mommy, it can’t be dinnertime. We just ate breakfast!’” - Spirit Daily

Isn’t that just so freaky?  (What if the mom had early onset of Alzheimer’s though, and the kids really had just eaten breakfast?)

“Where were the men?” asks Doris.

The following is the best story though - Spirit has an article on how something is going to happen  - and soon!  (I knew something was going to happen sooner or later!)  It has to do with a rumor - something big is going to happen.  (I think it is connected to numbers and the fact time is speeding up - in fact, seeing how fast time goes by, maybe it already happened, and we are just now becoming aware of  it!)  We are not told anything specific, just enough to be prepared however.  (It seems to be a “need to know” thing.)

Recently there was a rumor that something was about to break, that a new item would soon come that would greatly shake the faithful. It would affect many apostolates, said this rumor — not exactly a rampant rumor, but one about which we received limited word.

It sounded like scandal. Would it be a major bishop? Would it be problems in Rome? - Spirit Daily

I’m on pins and needles.  When it breaks - believe me I’m blogging about it!  And don’t try to accuse me of detraction either.

“No!  I told you Madeleine is not here!  Now quit calling!”

    Angie - Yeah… how did you know? I think I’ll be fine though… LOL!

  4. swissmiss Says:

    What have you been eating? Or drinking?

    I think it’s aliens…speeding up time, whose existence will shake the faithful. I heard they were sited at Medjugorje ;}

    BTW: Stopped into your old employer yesterday. Definitely aliens :)

    You are hilarious!

    Oh, the detraction line was esp funny—

    hmmm…I do go to spirit daily and I admit, there is alot of kookie stuff there but some not so bad stuff too. I must also admit, when I started to read that article on the number 11:11 I groaned and clicked out. Michael Brown can write on interesting stuff, but that was just plain off the wall.

  8. Terry Nelson Says:

    Sanctus - I check him out every day - and he does have good stuff - but some of it (like what I posted here) is just a hoot. I honestly think he does some of it to be funny.

  9. elena maria vidal Says:

    You are hilarious, Terry. I am sorry that that little girl was not Madeleine. But Brown linked to a legitimate news site; it was not something he made up. But I agree one must read Spirit Daily with careful discernment…..

  10. Terry Nelson Says:

    Oh Elena - I’m just being silly.

  11. elena maria vidal Says:

    Oh, I know….

    Perhaps at Mass this weekend, instead of standing because you are doing something this week, you can stand because something is going to happen!

    Ange: The meds too….

    LMAO!

  14. Angela Messenger Says:

    Maybe we need to take a collection or have a bake sale so we can get him the non-generic meds…(better quality, quicker absorption, etc.)

  15. Cathy_of_Alex Says:

    He’s trying to quit the better quality, quicker absorption drug. I’m always up for a bake sale though!

    sanity, oh sanity!

    if only i could find a piece of sanity in blog-dom.

    i am forever doomed by the numbers 11/11.

    my father was born on 11/11.
    my brother was born on 11/11.
    i was born on 11/11.
    my father died on 11/11.
    what does 11/11 hold for my future?

    more than any other time, as i retire to bed at night i look over at the clock and it is too often 11:11 - honest.

  17. uncle jim Says:

    oh … my older brother, the one born on 11/11, he was born 11 minutes before i was [12:09am v 12:20am]

  18. Terry Nelson Says:

    Uncle Jim - I have a feeling 11/11 has some ssignificance for you…

    I got up from my nap today at 12:12.
