I claim that the Pentecostal movement is a camouflaged terrorist organization. Their highest "religious" goal is to assist as best they can for the expected "Harvest".
There is much to connect with occult ideas in the organization's name. The doctrine relates to what the Bible calls idols. An organization which to a significant extent carries out infiltration and undermining of societies and organizations, camouflaged under what many perceive as religious tone deafness which manifests itself in an expression which can only be interpreted as "obviously pretending". Acting something. And suddenly they seem rebooted without any memory or relation to what those around them perceive as a strange play.
They live in the neighborhood. They live next door! They are colleagues, police, lawyers, doctors, in all nooks and crannies of administrations in public contexts and in all private relationships that the public has. They run NGOs with public money transfers of taxpayers' money, hospitals, orphanages, adoption services on a huge global scale and build a facade of "better citizenship" and "here to help the proletariat" to hide behind.
The people who are perceived to be a problem for the Pentecostal movement, for example parents who are in the way when their children are to be kidnapped for sale in CPS - which they more or less control in countries such as the USA, Korea, Norway and Canada, must be cleared of the road. The reasons are many, and may be because they have discovered the corruption the Pentecostal movement has put into huge systems. Or perhaps snooped too much into the child kidnappings and illegalities in their adoption of stolen children over the past 70 years. Korea and Argentina are two very good examples. Norway as recipient country.
They clear "undesirable" people from the planet by launching a huge terror apparatus. We, the Bowen family, are exposed to this, and it is in the following way:
They have "their contacts" in all parts of society's organization, and apparently the entire global congregation contributes when the terror starts. You lose your job. They take your house, and bother all your friends, family and contacts to such an extent that these people choose to avoid contact with you.
The goal is to isolate.
How?
They create problems with employers of friends and people who try to help us. Uses the police, the fire brigade, the state road authorities, the bureaucracy in the municipalities or higher public administration, sends lawyers with fictitious accusations, reports false incidents and reports of concern to the police and other public authorities. They tire people out, and in all contexts where you try to come to sensible solutions, they appear to have disconnected their sense of reality.
They believe that "if it is not said out loud" no one will know, or understand that they are a huge abominable terrorist organization under the guise of being a Christian church.
Why are we, the Bowen family, being terrorized?
Father in the family, together with his manager in the company they both worked for, blew the whistle to the authorities about the embezzlement of 5 million dollars from the company we worked for. It was owned by the Norwegian Police Directorate, the Ministry of Justice and some others, including organizations with direct links to the Pentecostal Congregation in Oslo - the Philadelphia Church in the country's capital.
Through this, involvement from Freemasonry including Odd Fellow, Rotary is included. Both Brothers and Sisters. The terror the Bowen family is exposed to is obviously organized through the female sections of the secret societies. The female part of these secret societies can be described in words as disgusting abominations.
How are we terrorized?
24 hours a day, 365 days a year since March 28, 2016.
My wife and I both lost our jobs. Child welfare came to kidnap our 4 children immediately after me and my manager blew the whistle. We haven't seen them since. Our children are mistreated to an extensive extent by these people and if we try to do something to help our children, the father is arrested. Preferably by 30 heavily armed police, which has happened repeatedly.
The daily terror consists of:
constant noise pollution from the neighbor who has lived next door to us since June 2016, although we have moved 16 times since 2016 to get away from the terror. They knock on the walls, jump up and down for hours, provoke the dogs they have to bark for hours, they turn on the vacuum cleaner and leave it running. Strategically placed so that it creates noise in our home. Every single day. Never pause. When we go to bed for the night, and this happens every single night, and has been like this since 2016, our dear neighbor, or others from the same congregation, go out to a car, and start it to sit for 1 to 2 hours - without a break (5-6 thousand revolutions per minute) and without driving anywhere. This has therefore been done non-stop, - without a break for a single day, 2,555 days straight.
If this is not psychotic in every way, psychotic does not exist. The madness becomes even worse when one understands that it applies to all the members of the congregation. Children and adults.. Everyone joins in the madness. They help prepare the return of their god and the harvest of "the rest of us". The earth only has room for them - and other Zionists.
They throw boiled potatoes at the walls of the house we live in, empty rubbish outside our entrance, knock on the door in the middle of the night and then run away, but not least they drive around our house 24 hours a day, non-stop. Trucks, noisy mopeds, tractors, cars without exhaust systems, road scrapers... they use anything they can make noise with. Even helicopter and heavy military vehicles. Sirens 24/7, as if we live in a big city with 5 million people. Every day. Every night for 7 years.
Demons ... and the pretend game.
In order to terrorize us in this way, they are willing to also trouble all the others (150 homes) who necessarily also have to hear the noise 24 hours a day as we have to. For the record, it can be mentioned that we live on the outskirts of a small town (40 thousand + inhabitants) where there is normally no traffic at night - except around our home. We have written confirmation from neighbors at our former residence that the traffic changed dramatically after we were forced to move from there. Dramatic decrease in traffic. Dramatic decrease in the number of sirens in the area.
They have been stealing our mail for 7 years.
Stole our owned house, our cars and all our possessions from before March 28, 2016.
Terrorized our kidnapped children for 7 years. Almost killed our youngest child when he was attacked by a fighting dog at the institution they were put away at. As mentioned, they never get to meet us, their parents.
They killed my wife's father.
They killed my grandmother the same day they kidnapped our four children.
My former manager, his brother and I all became deathly ill. Accumulation of cysts in the lungs. My former manager's brother died and both my former manager and I ended up in hospital. Both had to have emergency lung surgery to avoid dying. All events within a period of 6 months.
A brief summary of the reality behind the abomination of the Pentecostal movement.

HB632 (Relating to Open Data) requires state departments to make electronic data sets available to the public. The bill also requires the chief information officer (CIO) to develop policies and procedures to implement the Open Data Initiative, and appropriates $100,000 each fiscal year of the biennium to Office of Information Practices (OIP).
HB635 (Relating to Broadband) requires the state and counties to take action in advancing the Hawaii Broadband Initiative within 60 days (for conservation districts, the state must take action within 145 days). The initiative's goal is to provide ultra high-speed Internet access by 2018, and this clear and decisive timeline will reduce uncertainty for broadband companies and serve as an incentive to invest in increased bandwidth.
SB1003 (Relating to Information Technology), another of the administration's bills, authorizes the CIO to conduct security audits and direct remedial actions, as necessary, in the management of the state's cyber security.

Tucked away in a back lane in the inner-Sydney suburb of Redfern stands a historic industrial building relating to the early generation of electric power in New South Wales. Redfern Electric Light Station was the first municipal power-station to be built in Sydney, providing lighting for streets and housing in 1892. This building was the forerunner of the great Sydney city power-stations built from the end of the nineteenth century including Ultimo, Pyrmont and White Bay. In fact, the suburb of Redfern was illuminated by electricity twelve years before the City of Sydney, which followed in 1904 with power generated from Sydney Municipal Council’s Pyrmont power-station. After Redfern power-station was decommissioned, the building managed to survive and was ultimately converted for commercial and residential use.
The first public demonstration of electric lighting in Sydney occurred on 11 June 1863, to mark the marriage of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII (1841-1910), when an electric arc light was installed outside Sydney Observatory. Despite this display it was not until the last years of the nineteenth century that significant development and utilisation of electricity eventuated in Sydney.
The first commercial use of electricity in Sydney was in 1879 when arc lighting was used to illuminate the International Exhibition building. Time in which to complete the Garden Palace was running out, so several generators were imported from England to produce the necessary light to allow construction work to continue at night. Arc lamps had been used from the 1840s and 1850s in England, Europe and America for outdoor purposes and stage illumination in theatres. However, they were unsuitable for ordinary indoor use as they were cumbersome, generated fumes and heat, and their constant illumination was difficult to control and maintain. Furthermore, the public supply of electricity could not commence until a lamp, which overcame the shortcomings of the arc light, was developed and introduced commercially. Following the pioneering work of others, Joseph (later Sir Joseph) Wilson Swan (1828-1914) in England in 1878 and Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) in America, developed almost simultaneously a satisfactory incandescent carbon filament lamp. Edison patented his lamp in 1879 and the following year produced the first commercial incandescent lamps.
Meanwhile, in Sydney, the first public place to be permanently lit by electricity was Redfern railway terminus (near present day Central station), on 15 June 1882, using power generated at the Eveleigh Railway Workshops. While Sydney proceeded with caution, municipal enterprise and enthusiasm for electric lighting in NSW country towns was considerable. On 8 November 1888, Tamworth became the first Australian town to be have electric street lighting. This was only ten years after the world’s first street lighting was installed in Paris and seven years after the first British supply in Godalming, Surrey, in 1881. Tamworth was followed by Young and Moss Vale in 1889 and Penrith and Broken Hill in 1890.
In Sydney an attempt was made in 1888 to have legislation passed to establish a private network of generation and distribution. This failed but motivated the Sydney Municipal Council into pursuing the matter. In 1891 a committee was established to set up the basis for public distribution of electricity in Sydney. After protracted debate, the Municipal Council of Sydney Electric Lighting Bill was finally passed in 1896. In the same year the Department of Railways, which also had responsibility for the tramways, began planning for the electrification of Sydney’s tramway system and construction commenced on a power-station at Ultimo, now the Powerhouse Museum.
Meanwhile, back in 1889, Redfern Municipal Council had sent aldermen to inspect some of the NSW towns already generating electricity and construction began on their own electric light station in 1891. Completed in 1892, the building was Sydney’s first municipal power-station and Redfern the sixth local council in the State to generate its own electricity. Council engaged Professor Richard (later Sir Richard) Thelfall (1861-1932) as a consultant electrical inspector on the project. Thelfall, who had been appointed to the chair of physics at the University of Sydney in 1886, and his student and friend, the physicist James Arthur Pollock (1865-1922) whom council engaged as an engineering inspector, made a lucrative business in the early 1890s advising municipal councils and private companies on the new electrical-power technology.
The Redfern Electric Light Station building was designed by John E. Kemp of Pitt Street, Sydney, and built by J. Steel. The station consisted of a two-storey engine house, a single-storey boiler house, an octagonal brick chimney and a coal store. The building was constructed of brick, was cement rendered and decorated with late Victorian features including half circle window heads on the first floor of the engine house and pilasters running the full length of the building.
The boiler house was equipped with two multi-tubular horizontal boilers by Tinker Bros of Manchester, England. The boilers were set in substantial brickwork and featured the latest boiler fittings including feed water heaters, Worthington pumps, injectors and low-water alarms. A reserve water tank was available in case the town water supply was shut off. The boilers supplied steam to two horizontal compound steam engines, each 150 hp, supplied by the Benjamin Goodfellow engineering company of Hyde near Manchester. The engines had a common flywheel grooved to take seven driving ropes, which drove two alternators rated at 1,000 volts, and four dynamos. A Sydney firm, the Williamson Electrical Engineering Co. Ltd, designed and made the switchboard and were the contractors who supplied all the plant. The conductors left the switchboard and went upstairs, before passing from a window opening fronting Renwick Street. The station’s plant was tested on 17 May 1892 in front of a group of local dignitaries including the Mayor and Aldermen.
All the mains for both the street and private lighting were carried overhead on machine-turned wooden poles, except for two street crossings and one railway crossing where it was found necessary to take them underground. The street lamps were each of 25 candlepower and supported on neat wrought-iron brackets which carried a clear glass globe and reflector. The transformers were supplied for private lighting and lamps had a capacity of 16 candlepower. The Redfern Electric Light Station was capable of generating enough electricity to power 406 street lamps and 1,000 lamps for private use.
On 8 July 1904, electric street lighting in Sydney was officially turned on by the Lady Mayoress, Mrs S. Lees. With power generated from Pyrmont power-station, 200 arc lamps covered an area from Circular Quay to Redfern railway station. So began the gradual process of the replacement with electricity of Sydney’s gas-lit streets which had commenced in 1841. As well as this the growth in customer demand for electricity increased from 42 subscribers within a month of power being available to 519 subscribers by the end of 1905.
Redfern Council continued to generate its own electricity for twenty-one years and was by then seen as a competitive threat to Sydney Municipal Council’s undertakings to supply the whole city and as much of the environs as possible. Redfern was a major industrial centre, which possessed great possibilities for extension and development, not to mention the large factories in adjoining municipalities. Negotiations began with Redfern Council and the Redfern Electric Light station was acquired as a going concern by Sydney Council for £20,000. However, the machinery, plant, apparatus and appliances, other than the street mains and poles, remained the property of Redfern Council. Agreement was also reached for Sydney Council to run its mains through the streets of Redfern to supply customers in that municipality and in the municipalities lying immediately to its south. Supply to Redfern was officially taken over by Sydney Municipal Council on 19 April 1913. By the early 1920s new generating plant had been installed at Pyrmont power-station and an additional power-station for Sydney Council, at Bunnerong, on the northern shores of Botany Bay, began operations on 2 January 1929.
The Redfern Electric Light Station was eventually superfluous to requirements and it was decommissioned and its machinery and equipment removed. Over the years the building itself has managed to survive, being used to house various light industries including a case factory, machinery and hardware merchants and a store for Wyanna Mills. In 1987 the building was converted into four units, two for commercial use (at this time as photographic studios) and two for residential use. The historic power-station’s external layout is still evident today with its two-storey engine house, single-storey boiler house and brick chimney best seen looking along Renwick Street.
Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
Most of these are shot outdoors where I have the room to literally spin and throw my little camera several feet up into the air, with some throws going as high as 15 feet or more!
None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.
Albeit supremely risky this is one of my favorite ways to produce abstract photographs.

Excited in anticipation of impending beauty.
A flickr friend promised to share a picture relating to their heritage and sent me a note that it would make me happy. Exploring your own heritage is guaranteed to reveal inner beauty. Mine, of course, is Jewish. Too many Jewish parents have not passed on their Jewish heritage. Oh, I understand it well. Although we Jews have the longest and oldest continuous heritage on the planet, we have kept it through terror, trauma, hurt and humiliation. Many people have “left the fold” because of the difficulties and many more have tried to adapt their heritage to soften the blows. Only after the 20th century do we know that it is impossible to hide a Jewish identity, but people still try. (Thank God most of the world acknowledges what happened in Europe. Even as they deny and seem unable to hear the people who are calling for the destruction of Jews, as recent as today (Nassralla in Lebanon, and Al-Qaeda and Hamas.))
But I digress. It is so much better to focus on the beautiful parts of life, even while not ignoring threats. And there is so much beauty. The beauty of the rose only reflects a spiritual beauty that is much deeper and more encompassing. Even a quick peek into a beautiful heritage is truly exciting.
In this image I was experimenting with shooting with a strong backlight and a weak (white paper) reflection. I took about 25 experimental shots and I think this was the best. I will probably post a few more in the coming days....

Miss Lily Thomas (1871-1946), Thomas and Ann’s fourth daughter lived there all her life. She collected postcards which her family and friends sent her on a very regular basis. It was an easy and enjoyable way to keep in touch. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lily’s collection encompasses the so-called Golden Age (1890-1915) with many postmarked 1906-1907. Some were sent to other members of the family.
The collection document the natural landscape as well as the built environment—buildings, gardens, parks, and tourist sites. Topographical Postcards showing street scenes and general views from Australian and international locations, some of which are artistic views. Popular postcard manufacturers such as Tuck’s Postcards are included in the collection.
Decorative cards, many embellished with floral motives (as a nod to the receiver Lily?) and embossing. Greeting cards are common for Christmas, New Year, Easter and of course birthdays.
Regular senders can be identified from Kyneton and the Great Ocean Road area, Victoria and there is a siginifant collection from Scotland (but not sent from there).

From the book "Getting Real"
The Cockatiel (also recognised as the Quarrion and the Weero) is a small parrot relating to both the Psittacidae and the Cacatuidae families. Like other cockatoos, as for example the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, the cockatiel has an erectable crest. Cockatiels and cockatoos in general also share other features, such as the facial feathers covering the sides of the beak, which are rarely - if ever - found outside the Cacatuidae family. In contrast to most cockatoos, the cockatiel has long tail feathers, roughly making up half of its total length. These birds originate from the outback regions of inland Australia, and favor the Australian wetlands, scrublands, and bush lands. The cockatiel's distinctive pointed yellow crest is held erect when startled or excited, while a crest slightly tilted indicates a relaxed state of mind.
Female hand-raised cockatiel of typical colouring, age 15.
Female hand-raised cockatiel of typical colouring, age 15.
The plumage is generally mid-grey, lighter underneath, with an almost perfectly round orange patch of feathers covering the ear opening (usually referred to as a "cheek patch") and a prominent white blaze on the wings. A row of yellowish spots can be found underneath the wings of female cockatiels, but not on the males. Some other mutations exist, such as the Lutino, which lacks black and grey colour, being a light yellow colour overall. Female Lutinos also have barred tail feathers. Both the cock and the hen have yellow facial feathers: the female has a yellow wash around the beak and eye, in the male, yellow covers most of the head and the fore part of the crest. Male cockatiels are very protective and nurturing of their offspring and are known to be very capable of raising their newborns if the mother is unable to.
Cockatiel lifespans in captivity are generally given as 15-20 years,[1] though it is sometimes given as short as 12-15 years[2] and there are reports of cockatiels living as long as 30 years, the oldest reported being 35 years old when it died.[3]
SB1082 (Relating to Transportation of School Children) simplifies Section 302A-406, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The bill allows for more flexibility by the BOE and DOE regarding contract requirements. This measure will provide the DOE with a tool to control costs of school bus transportation by removing statutory requirements related to school bus procurement.
SB1083 (Relating to Transportation of School Children) exempts contracts for transportation for school services from Section 103-55, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Under the provisions of this bill, the DOE will not need to require school bus contractors to certify that they pay same wages as public officers and employees. The bill removes the statutory requirements related to school bus procurement.

Information relating to the statue of Queen Victoria outside the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney.
The site of the Queen Victoria Building was the location of the George Street Markets, and was selected for the construction of a grand government building. Architect George McRae designed the QVB in the ornate Romanesque Revival style with the express purpose of employing a great number of skilled craftsmen who were out of work due to a severe recession. The building was completed in 1898 and named the Queen Victoria Building after the monarch.
The completed building included coffee shops, showrooms and a concert hall. It provided a business environment for tradesmen such as tailors, mercers, hairdressers, and florists. The concert hall was later changed to a municipal library and the building was partitioned into small offices for Sydney City Council. The building steadily deteriorated and in 1959 was threatened with demolition. It was restored between 1984 and 1986 by Ipoh Ltd at a cost of $86 million, under the terms of a 99-year lease from the City Council and now contains mostly upmarket boutiques and "brand-name" shops.
This bronze statue of Queen Victoria, located on the forecourt, was originally located in front of the Irish Parliament in Dublin until 1947. It was given to the people of Sydney as a gift from the people of Ireland and unveiled in 1987.

It was an easy and enjoyable way to keep in touch. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lily’s collection encompasses the so-called Golden Age (1890-1915) with many postmarked 1906-1907. Some were sent to other members of the family.
The collection document the natural landscape as well as the built environment—buildings, gardens, parks, and tourist sites. Topographical Postcards showing street scenes and general views from Australian and international locations, some of which are artistic views. Popular postcard manufacturers such as Tuck’s Postcards are included in the collection.
Decorative cards, many embellished with floral motives (as a nod to the receiver Lily?) and embossing. Greeting cards are common for Christmas, New Year, Easter and of course birthdays.
Regular senders can be identified from Kyneton and the Great Ocean Road area, Victoria and there is a siginifant collection from Scotland (but not sent from there).
