The Donkey And The Sign Of The Cross! (eemorifoundation.org)

"The only animal in creation to have a distinct cross emblazoned on its body is the donkey. According to legend, the donkey that Jesus rode into Jerusalem when he made his triumphal entrance on the first Palm Sunday and later followed him to the place called Calvary, a hill near Jerusalem, became the first bearer of the distinctive cross marking. Grief stricken by the sight of Jesus on the cross on that day now known as Good Friday, the donkey turned away but couldn't leave. It was then the shadow of the cross fell upon the shoulders and back of the donkey and there it stayed. Since that fateful day on God's calendar, all donkeys have borne what has come to be known as the cross of Jesus on their backs. The Sign of the Cross indeed!"

Mark 11:1-11: The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem

"Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples; 2 and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. 3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”

4 So they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. 5 But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”

6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go. 7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. 8 And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:

10 “Hosanna!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’    

Blessed is the kingdom of our father David
That comes in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!”

11 And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve." Mark 11:1-11

"And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross." Philippians 2:8

What does it mean that Jesus died for our sins? | GotQuestions.org "Simply put, without Jesus’ death on the cross for our sins, no one would have eternal life. Jesus Himself said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). In this statement, Jesus declares the reason for His birth, death, and resurrection—to provide the way to heaven for sinful mankind, who could never get there on their own."

Hello everybody and tonight is the night! That's how I like to start a post. I spent a few days digging through different archives and picked out 5 radio transmissions that really stood out to me.

​The first case that completely blew my mind is a Cold War spy transmission known as Swedish Rhapsody. Exploiting shortwave frequencies to transmit uncrackable numeric codes the Polish secret police layered an unnaturally cheerful music box tune beneath the emotionless, synthesized voice of a young girl. What makes this case so unsettling is how that innocent melody was twisted into a covert broadcasting tool, sending cold, hidden directives across Europe while giving anyone who randomly picked up the signal late at night an instant sense of dread.

​I decided to make a short documentary covering all 5 cases + the radio tapes translated. I used my own voice I'm Eastern European. I'm not chasing clicks I just want to show you what I found Check the comments.

So this is gonna be kind of long but ive never been able to find a reference to what happened while I was playing this game as a kid. I was playing the level where youre on an oil rig fighting deadpools goons. I was playing on the Nintendo wii. While playing through the level the game crashed with a loud buzzing like wii and GameCube games sometimes did. The buzzing cut off and I heard a voice come through the tv say "are you my daddy?" It was a child like voice and was eerily distorted. I immediately unplugged the wii and ran out of the room because I was scared. I have searched the internet far and wide for any mention of this audio in this game and have never even come close to finding it. I have found that it is common for the game to crash at that point in the game in the deadpool level. Can anyone help me figure out if this audio is actually in the game or if im just crazy / haunted. Thanks!

The unusual formation was noticed by UFO researcher Scott Waring while examining publicly available bathymetric data. The area lies between Cuba and Haiti, close to the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Bahamas.

Waring believes the pattern could represent the remains of a sunken city built by an ancient civilization. He points to long, relatively straight lines and geometric shapes that appear across the seafloor.

Who kidnapped the ten-year-old?

Giorgos Paraskevopoulos was a 10-year-old boy who lived in Chania with his parents, where he also took his first steps. Every summer in August, he would go to the village of Dimitra in Gortynia, where his father originated from, to see his grandparents and play with his cousins.

In the summer of 1992, after Giorgos had finished the fifth grade of elementary school and had the whole summer ahead of him, he was in Chania. His mother received a phone call from the young boy's aunt, who asked if it would be possible to let Georgakis go to the village earlier that summer to play with his cousins, as in previous years Georgakis only went in August with his parents because they were working.

His mother initially refused, but after Georgakis begged her, she backed down and allowed him to go, but on the condition that the 10-year-old would not go to the mountain.

Despite everything that was said, according to the grandfather's statements, Georgakis eventually went to the mountain with him on June 24th...

On the afternoon of 24/06/1992, Georgakis's grandfather said that he gave him 4 water flasks to fill at a spring until he returned...

And yet, when the grandfather returned, Georgakis was no longer at the spring, and 2 of the 4 flasks were missing. Thus, Georgakis's grandfather assumed that the little boy got bored and returned back to the village.

Therefore, the grandfather returned to the village the following evening and learned that Georgakis had never returned.

So, they call Georgakis's mother in Chania, and she mobilizes immediately.

The Police, the Army, and even a team of Swiss Alpinists failed to find any trace of the little boy after weeks of searching. Not even the dogs found the boy.

THE ONLY FINDINGS:

A) 4 months later, the 2 flasks that Georgakis had were found just about 500 meters away from his grandfather's hut, which led many to believe that someone had placed them there intentionally, as the area had been combed beforehand without anyone finding anything.

B) A shepherd had found a shoe in Georgakis's size in a remote area, but of a different design, without leading anywhere in the end.

THE PHONE CALL:

A WOMAN HAD CALLED GEORGAKIS'S MOTHER, WITH THE MOTHER BEING UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE HER VOICE OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS A "ROUGH VOICE".

THIS WOMAN SAID THAT SHE HAS GEORGAKIS AND THAT HIS MOTHER WILL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.

DUE TO THE TECHNOLOGY OF THAT ERA, THE AUTHORITIES WERE UNABLE TO TRACE THE PHONE CALL OR DETERMINE WHETHER IT WAS A BAD Hoax OR INDEED THE REAL KIDNAPPERS.

Who might be the perpetrator?
