Japan ministers ignored safety warnings over nuclear reactors http://bit.ly/hulQkt
Your Liege, Sir Bentwood;
I totally agree with your last post.
However, it may still be useful to debate the development of emergency bunkers in Barbados for future lesser eventualities. What about significantly strengthening and sealing Harrison’s cave or one of the other cave systems?
@ckeckitout
what are these future lesser eventualities that may require bunkers for barbados you foresee ?
There is an interesting article in theHaitian Gazette which speaks to the causes of the devastation inJapan.

@ Sir Bentwood,
Everything is up to he great Oneness, the Almighty.
Live your life and when the time comes to transition to the next phase of the soul…..it will come.
**********************************
….very perceptive Sir! But you have glossed over a few critical points.
1. Everything is up to the Great Oneness (you probably talking ’bout BBE (LOL)), but you may be surprised at how much is up to us as INDIVIDUALS.
2. Live your life until the time comes…. True, BUT what do you mean by ‘live your life’?
On what basis does one determine, say one hour before ‘the time comes’, that one has truly “lived one’s life”?
Is it…
– the number of dollars accumulated on the bank?
– The number of days that your earthly experience lasted?
– The size of one’s family?
– the fun that was had during that life?
– etc etc
Or would you agree that this all depends on the ORIGINAL PURPOSE and INTENT of the Great Oneness (BBE)?
Unless we can establish the purpose and objective in the first place, we all may well be playing soccer, having been given a tennis ball…..
Tepco now injecting sea water into reactor 2. I guess the whole plant is going to written off now. One must hope none of the pumps breaks now.

Halsall, While it is true that for essential scientific purposes, or for the manufacture of precision parts in a factory, the true value of pi is calulated to be 3.14159 rather than 3.0, critics like you, have urged this approximate value of three to one as the relationship between the diameter and the circumference of the circle, amounts to geometrical inaccuracy, inconsistant with a literal, errorless Scripture!
However, the criticism is devoid of merit; as the use of approximate proportions or totals is a familiar practice in normal speech, even today; as we find in statistical statements concerning populations of cities or nations.
It is therefore, perfectly proper to speak of the circumference of any circle as being three times its diameter, if we are speaking approximately, just as the Hebrew author is obviously speaking, even as we do today, as the issue here is not some moral or spiritual truth, but the approximate dimensions of this gigantic laver for the priests’ washing.
There is one interesting feature about this that might well be added. If the rod used to mark out a length of five cubits (approx ninety inches) for the radius were used to measure the inside circumference of the same bowl-shaped vessel here described, the it would take exactly six of those five-cubit measures to complete the circumference. (Encyclopedia of Biblical Difficulties, pp. 198,199)
Try that Halsall, and see!
BTW, the literal method of interpretation, which is just one of many hermeneutical principles used carefully in correctly interpreting God’s Word in its proper context, is not applicable here in 1 Kings 7: 23f, and for obvious reasons!
The argument zoe is using can only be taken for small objects. For large object the .1 after the three become increasingly noticeable. Seeing the object is 10 cubit diameter one can assume it was pretty large. at about 4.5 meters across it would have a huge bowl. at the very least the measurement around would have been 31 cubits even with approximation.
Bush Tea
if the “end” is imminent (as you and others intimate) then except for newborns, it is a bit late to worry about the “original purpose and intent of BBE” and living to suit. Maybe the best we can do is to follow Peter who ” fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord” and hope for mercy.
@Bush Tea,
Yes, all depends on purpose and intent….of course you are right…though ours is not to decide, give a man a ball and he decides what he wants to do with it, Agassi may play tennis but Maradona will use it for football….never played football with a tennis ball at school? Loadsa fun!
Is ours really to interpret and assume, or do we just live, is living in itself not justification in itself?
For the record, obviously materialistic accumulations are irrelevant in of themselves.
You are obviously a great thinker and a helluva fun to have a chat with, even though above my limited intellect.
Have a nice Sunday, lunch, bit of music, nap and huggies with the wife.

@ Ping Pong
…it is a bit late to worry about the “original purpose and intent of BBE”
*****************************************
LOL. You may of course be right Ping, but are you not again jumping to premature conclusions? …..It all depends on that intent.
@ Sir Bentwood
The Bushman likes what you have done with my analogy…. LOL. …. but look at it this way;
Suppose The Barbados Tennis Federation was BBE, and they in their omnipotence and divine wisdom, decided to give tennis balls to all schools along with various bits and pieces like nets, courts, shoes etc in order to develop new quality players.
Let us say that some wutless school fellows decided that it was more fun to kick the balls around the pasture at lunch time or to play tip and run cricket – and had a great ball doing this. At the close of the project how would you measure success?
Seems to the Bushman that the most desirable outcome would be to find out about the reason for the project in the first place; the rules that apply; the rewards to be had; and the purpose to be accomplished.
While the tip and run cricket may indeed be quite fun, if we presume that the originators of the plan are indeed omnipotent and almighty (not saying that the Federation makes such a claim -LOL) – is it not more than logical that “eyes have not seen, nor can we imagine” the level of success and joy that would be derived from playing the RIGHT game?
….Bushie would think so…

2.You say, I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge uprightly.
3. When the EARTH AND ALL ITS PEOPLE “QUAKE”, it is I who hold its pillars firm.

@Bush Tea,
Understood and point taken. We shall find out ….soon enough, each of us, in our time, no?

David;
Re. the video above, there is a huge amount of information on the net re. Comet Elenin. Much of it is speculation but I think no one can be certain of what its exact distance from earth will be when it gets closest to Earth in about seven months time. Orbits have to be recalculated based on what it might have encountered in its passage through the Oort cloud of comets.
The worse case scenario is that Comet Elenin itself will miss Earth by a few million miles but that one or more large shards of debris following the comet could possibly impact Earth about that time causing widespread devastation in our region as some models have it striking land near the Azores.
Some people who are acquainted with the story of Niburu or Planet X have noted the slight resemblance of Comet Elenin and its 10,000 year orbit to the perhaps mythical Niburu, athough no accompanying 12th Planet (see Zechariah Sitchin) has been observed.
Much of this will be dismissed as Pseudoscience. I’m not so sure except that I think that when such a calamity arises it always comes like a thief in the night.
Some info on the possibility of Elenin hitting Earth is given here:
http://reinep.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/comet-elenin-could-hit-earth/
There is also good reassuring information on Comet Elenin coming out of mainstream Scientific websites such as Sky and Telescope.
Some quite qualified and authoritative people do believe in alien life visiting Earth over time.
Here is one
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hellyer
Then, the stories can be either remarkable or a barrel of laughs, such as this one that claims that the Russian Defense Minister Serdyukov has the following view….’Sparking the fears of Minister Serdyukov, he says in this report, is that based upon the new orbit calculations for Comet Elenin, it appears in “all likelihood” that this celestial object is under some type of “intelligent control” and will approach our Earth “much closer” than originally thought this coming fall season”
‘Intelligent control’, I guess the Lemurians are coming after all?
Who you gonna call?
@checkit-out
The anticipation and should we say shrill of the unknown?
It seems you have Sir Bentwood with you in someone who has a keen interest in these matters.
The limitless curiosity of the human mind has always separated humans from the pack.
Think on this: “They perish because they refused* to love the Truth* (Almighty God’s Word, in Christ!) and so be Saved. For this reason, God sends them (unbelievers, unsaved!) a powerful delusion so that they will believe the LIE* and so that ALL will be condemned who have NOT believed the TRUTH, but have delighted in wickedness.” ( 2 Thess. 2: 10-12 Emphasis added)
So it be!

The Nightmare Returns….

Japan is the most glaring, classic example in modern history, of a nation that blossomed and bloomed with 20th Century technology, thriving economically, yet, look at what has happened in so short a space of time, reduced to horror, pain and destruction, and we ain’t see the end to this yet!
He who Created ALL things, the entire Universe, knows every single Atom, exactly where His Tectonic plates are, for He is in absolute control of His earth, and sovereingly decrees His plan and purpose, for all to see, that we, mankind, without Him, and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, are nothing, hopelessly grouping around in darkness!
Wait till our turn in the Caribbean comes, it ain’t going to be nice at all!
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die!!
Zoe you are three expletives.
You can’t stop your sanctimonious drivel and consider that children in Japan are suffering and dying through an accident of birth.
Now you are salivating in the fact that the law of averages and historic events will see more pain and suffering, this time in the Caribbean.
Terence, I won’t get into the theology of Almighty God’s retributive justice, which is all there in His Word, the Bible; suffice to say, and I’ll give an illustration using an anthropomorphic description, using His hands; imagine His left hand is outreached to mankind, offering us His Love, Mercy, and Grace, in Jesus Christ, His son, while His right hand is streatched out over and behind His Head, which IS His Holy, Righteous judgment, which is slowly coming down, all the while His left hands continues to reach out, with mankind ignoring and refushing to respond to His Love, Mercy and Grace!
It is only a matter of time before His awesome, absolutely Holy, Justice comes down on our rebellious, hardened, sin stained hearts.
We cannot have His Mercy, Love and Grace, without His Holy, Righteous, Just, Judgment; we choose which we are going to be receive, His Love, forgiveness, and Grace, OR, His absolutely just judgment!
The choice has always being ours, and He gave us ‘Free-will’ as He will not impose Himself on anyone who does not choose His path willingly, but, the dire consequences of rejecting Him, is eternal separating from His prescence, NOT annihilation either, but conscious everlasting misery, as the adjective ‘forever’ ‘eternal’ everlasting, qualifies both nouns, Life, in conscious bliss with Him, or Death, from the Gk. word Thanatos, which means, separation FROM, or to separate, NOT annihilation, or cessation of consciousness!
Sir Bentwood, David et al;
Here’s an article about the supermoon hypothesis and the Japanese Tsunami from a fairly mainstream web “journal”. Note that Phil Plait is a professional debunker who often goes a bit overboard in his debunking.

with all the hell and destruction brought upon mankind due in part by ourselves by the earthquake. It would be interesting to see How world government going to continue building nuclear plants for energy. Not only is it impossible to repair leakage in events such as this. but it also suicidal for humans to even attempt to do so. The real threat is ourselves acting as if we know it all. It is only nature whose response in kind tells us we know absolutely nothing.
FLASH: Reuters witness says tremor shakes buildings in Chilean capital SantiagoLarge Hadron Collider World’s First Time Machine?
If the latest theory of Tom Weiler and Chui Man Ho is right, the Large Hadron Collider – the world’s largest atom smasher that started regular operation last year – could be the first machine capable of causing matter to travel backwards in time. “Our theory is a long shot, but it doesn’t violate any laws of physics or experimental constraints.”…
Click here to read, "Large Hadron Collider World’s First Time Machine?"…
That story above about time travel and the Bush Man’s views on the Large Hadron Collider reminds me of a number of the readings of the Poughkeepsie Seer, Edward Cayce, which suggested that not only Atlantis was real but that it was inadvertently destroyed by Scientists working on a machine that was somewhat similar to a gigantic modern laser machine.
Cayce’s readings suggested this was about ten thousand years ago, the same periodicity as the new Comet Elenin that comes closest to Earth, this time around, sometime in October this year.
i thought ones memory is used to travel back in time . Good enough for me! Better than a bunchof hocus!Pocus!Keep dreaming. Time will tell!
@ checkit-out
You can trust the bush man!! Those people have no idea what they are playing with… that is a doomsday machine if ever there was one…LOL
Does it REALLY make sense to you that these people would spend BILLIONS of dollars to find some- Higgs boson? – What Higgs boson what??!!
This is either some kind of secret weapon (which is too big to hide and therefore needs to be ‘explained’), or some kind of money-making scheme (but whose side effects may be too unpalatable for the masses to accept)
checkit, how do you know that it is not this present Hadon Collider which destroyed Atlantis…..? Think on it!!
……just asking! time is a funny thing. BBE actually created the concept of ‘time’ specially for the current phase of life as we know it. It is altogether feasible that some bright geeks with access to billions of dollars, lots of time, and to a big hole in the ground could stumble on some of the designed factors which drive the concept of ‘time’…..
Keep your eyes on CERN…… there are monkeys playing with a big gun there…
“could be the first machine capable of causing matter to travel backwards in time”
David, this concerns me… bloggers like BT might be able to go back and correct all of the mistakes and incorrect forecasts they wrote on BU. 🙂
@MME
Oh boy, and to think BT was sending a clarion call for your return to the blog. He obviously missed you.
I share most of your concerns about the Large Hadron Collider. The Atlantis doomsday machine might have been an early prototype of an LHC, who knows?
If anyone would actually like to actually understand why the LHC was built (rather than simply being afraid), and why empirically measuring the energy of the Higgs Boson is so important (it will either support and refine the Standard Model, or disprove it), please read Lederman and Teresi’s The God Particle.
A good summation of the book is available at Wikipedia.
BTW, David… I tried reading the article you linked to above about the LHC being a possible “time machine”. But I am uncomfortable allowing a site to run 23 scripts from three different sites; the linked page didn’t show the content without my enabling the scripts….
@TMB…
You cut-and-paste well. And you likely scare many people.
But do you actually think for yourself?
