Brian, you add nothing to this discussion but hatefulness and the call to ban someone whom you simply dislike. What value are you adding to this site or discussion.
Whereas, MRL for starters offers at a minimum a vision of what a modern prophet might sound like. Hint: They probably would NOT be all nicey-nice and normal. They'd certainly sound crazy and cause people to hate them - much as MRL does here. In the Jewish/Christian tradition, best I understand it from Sunday school a big part of most prophets job is to wag the finger and demand repentance.
Far as I can tell Brian, your comments are generally nothing but poo. Perhaps we should just ban YOU.
Ruvy, I appreciate fully your sensitivity to actual or perceived anti-Semitism. But your Old Testament prophets spent a good part of their time denouncing their fellow Jews for getting off the track. Plus, I've only ever seen maybe one or two minor comments from MRL that might be seen as swipes at Jews.
Maybe I'm too generous cause I like her, but I do not see any particular strain of anti-Semitism from her publicly or privately. She's going to tend to take some swipes at everyone and everything. Cut ol' girl a little slack.

I have found a website Miracle Sceptic that shows that many of the 70000 that day saw nothing. Also, there were too many people seeing different things. The sun did not really move that day. If that is not one of the false signs that Jesus warned about would happen in the last days then what is? You don't hear of Mary ever warning believers to be careful about looking at the sun and think about how many people looking into the sun today at apparitions sites and who report seeing it move and spin and Mary appearing in it and the next thing they need treatment for damaging their eyes. Fatima started this trend and it has caused little else but self-deception and injury since. Its no wonder believers in the Devil see it as his work. Plus the Fatima Virgin expects us to accuse people of being bad enough to go to Hell forever - you need very strong evidence to say things like that and where is the evidence? Until she proves this hell exists and that people go there she can't blame us for considering her the victim of vindictive wishful thinking.

Brother Al:
Maybe I'm too generous cause I like her, but I do not see any particular strain of anti-Semitism from her publicly or privately. She's going to tend to take some swipes at everyone and everything. Cut ol' girl a little slack.
I hadn't noticed this comment from February, or I certainly would have answered you then.
I cut MRL slack - a lot of slack. I asked her only to give me references to what she was saying out of the 1,700 comments that she herself posted at your invite here - so that I could attempt to understand her. And I got nothing but the back of her hand.
To my eyes, she did not prophesy. She made an awful big stink about a grilled cheese sandwich, though, or music that others allegedly stole from her. Ezekiel (G-d forbid I should put this woman in the same sentence with one of the leading Jewish prophets) did some nutty things that the jaded residents of Tel Aviv (that's not a typo - go read séfer yeHezkél yourself - he prophesied to the residents of Tel Aviv - in Babylon [Ezek. 2]) would have considered him nuts for doing. But then he came out and gave some serious prophecy - and detailed a Temple in Jerusalem - a temple that is the model we follow today.
There is a lot of yeHezkél's prophecy that would have looked absolutely nutty 2,500 years ago - consider what he wrote about gog, nasí méshekh v'tubál [Ezek. 38]. But now, it looks awful scary.
So, tempted though I was, I did not mock the woman. I've known others who have prophesied the future with stunning prescience.
And, I might add, Ezekiel was pretty pissed off at the way G-d kept dragging him by the hair (go read the text) back through time to drive home why He had allowed the destruction of the Temple by the Babylonians.
So, unlike some here I did not mock the woman. But, frankly, I don't miss her.

Edward was giving some interesting views on the secrets of Fatima as pro-Russia and anti West/Vatican when MaryReborn schreeched in. Sabotage?
1730 - Al Barger
Patrick notes that "there were too many people seeing different things." That could be an argument against it, but then my immediate thought there was the day of Pentecost. According to that story, apostles were speaking whatever language came out of their mouths - and people were hearing it in their own multiplicity of languages. Could be that there were miracles being performed by God in people's minds as well as or instead of in the outside air. Just a thought.

The apparition of The Virgin of Fatima is a clear proof that God is calling to all the humanity through The apparition of The Virgin of Fatima.
The humanity has to have Faith and Confidence, because these are the most important tools for the way of The Lord.
We have to be like children who live in innocense, purity and they are espontaneous.
All the people have to have a humble heart and full of Love for seeing the things of God.
God is Love and no one can limit the manifestations of God.

A song called Memories, and Barbara Steisand's father...now, people who need people. Ah, life is a beach. Have some sand and water there folks.
1733 - Mary reborn literally
Anyone on track today? Not worshipping the music but being more acceptive of the hippie generation that shot peace signs and wanted the world to change their ways. We overtly only noted the ones who dropped in and out and lost meaning.
1734 - Mary reborn literally
Sure, why not Al Barger? Why are there so many who cannot tell me why it is so many Jennifers are dying out there. Is this a pattern killer? While you did not miss me, I have been seeing how God worked for me and answered my prayers. Will God answer yours? Maybe you never had to pray so fervently. Maybe you just take the cheese sandwich face for a lunatic? Ah, Snow White and the wicked witch...or can we just ask why do we love to depict so much evil to begin with? All the twits fighting over who?
1735 - Mary reborn literally
Ok, so good, you know when you review the facts and see that not all Jennifers were killed, so that's okay right/ but hey, just how smart are you to ignore any similarities? Yeah, I am talking to you.
1736 - Mary reborn literally
HELLO AL, and can you please verify for me why it's always something? Never a normal day for crying out loud?
1737 - Mary reborn literally
God is my HERO because he is not a zero. I prayed to God recently to show my Father and my color blue. A miraculous photo came out with a blue C on my collar. Yes, meaning I do know what I am saying, praying, and trying to obeying.
1738 - Mary reborn literally
Remember the chapter about JOB and the dark ages ridicule. People keep saying crap about me. The conjoined twins, hanging onto each other. Why were they born like that? I have a cousin born with a harelip, my aunt thinks it was malnutrition. Hey, but the ones on TV, many are born from farmers. Go figure. Mysteries folks, and answers may not come to some of you but God is the only one helping me right now.
1739 - Mary reborn literally
Unlike the movie Constantine, I am not the devil, a demon worshipper either. Yet you can call yourselves victims of Sandy?
1740 - Mary reborn literally
Comments? Maybe I will have to knock ahem, knock some sense into you but these days, ring a doorbell.
1741 - Mary reborn literally
From Revelations and white cloud...where as Eckerds Drugs has the one with a white cloud over me. Alas you who may wonder...read Acts 1: 1-9 about a cloud received Him. And why is it that a white cloud would appear over me? Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord God is with thee.
1742 - Mary reborn literally
I read this quote that only the dead have seen the last of war. How sad this world is and the ones who do not believe or try at all to make a difference.
1743 - Christopher Rose
Only the dead have seen the last of anything...
1744 - Mary reborn literally
Hi Christopher. Another mention, if allowed, the new toy out about the Alien disection...like the game OPERATION only now an alien. Perhaps we all need to take a deeper look inside ourselves while alive.
1745 - Mary reborn literally
Recently I see the developing sites on miraculous photos and comments there too. There is only evidence with me people. From birth untill I die, of what I said from the very beginning. Who knows the troubles I have seen? That's right, Lord knows. So now we face those who try to ruin anything good but you won't ruin my goodness. You won't take away what God gave me. Alas, mediums getting a bad rap...hey, but the Bible says visionaries are gifted folks. God given gifts. So when the police are worried that someone gifted can solve a crime case better than they can or that the ones who pray for peace really mean it...what's wrong with that kind of police? It's not all about money, but principles. Jennifer Odom was one of about five murdered Jennifers of current interest. When asked what I saw, I answered a light blue truck. Reports included a light blue truck following the school bus. No, I did not know prior knowledge but then how did Jesus know who would betray him or was that a wish on his part to be brutally murdered? Really people, think about what you do because it is true, you know not what you do. Hi Al, I am still around.
1746 - Mary reborn literally
In advisement to those haters of special people, be forewarned. The dead do contact the living. I was traveling from Florida to Pa when stopping to see about an apartment, I went into the bathroom to scope things out and I heard the voice of a man tell me don't rent here, I died here. I walked out crying and the landlord asked me what's wrong? I answered her with I heard a dead person in the bathroom. She gasped, her tennant had indeed killed himself only a month prior in that bathroom and she showed me the newspaper article in fact. So you who are ignorant, please, get the facts.
1747 - Mary reborn literally
Christopher, our gospel songs are strange? The stars in the sky...looked down where he lay...the little Lord Jesus asleep on sweet hay. Life is strange. People are strange.
Death can be even stranger.
1748 - Mary reborn literally
Clearwater, Florida...it's like a paper rose or airplane I guess. Kind of like Obama saying he believes in God yet the blacks stole songs to gain power. Yeah, like that.
1749 - Mary reborn literally
Or paper marriages that end in divorce and you are supposed to marry a person not have someone marry you to someone else. Bus stops here, does it? Hey, get real people. All the laughter is just like rolling thunder to me. Our world is topsy turvy and loopy lou. The world as we know it. GULP, hand me an alkeseltzer please. I am upset so give me the whole box.
1750 - Mary reborn literally
Yes, I know and this is not about Catholics, it's about me. A baby born speaking and talking about signs and wonders at an early age and people saw things they cannot explain. It's not about books they sold or movies they made or TV shows they fudged either.
1751 - Irene Athena
I believe you, Mary Reborn Literally. (#1746)
Things like that happen. They've never happened to me, and I hope I never hear that kind of voice, but I believe some people have. I don't know what's making the voice, though? Is the voice really from a departed soul, the energy from a person who once had a body, just hanging around? Is it a demon just making trouble, wanting to upset the landlady who was already pretty upset already, a demon wanting to upset YOU, and lose the landlady renters? I bet that's what was going on. She was probably a really nice land-lady, and has a renter off himself, and maybe she feels it's her fault somehow...and now this Demon is showing up scaring everybody away.
I think that's probably it. IF NOT FOR THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE SHE SHOWED YOU, my first inclination would be to say that there was some sort of mental illness thing going on at the time with you, and that has nothing to do with demons. It's about neurotransmitters...
...but the fact that she showed you the newspaper story...if this had happened to me, if I'd heard a voice and THEN been shown the newspaper article linking the voice to a renter who had recently killed himself, I would be inclined to believe it was a demon who was talking to me. Yep. I'd rather have a demon talking to me and pretending to be dead person than to have a genuinely formerly alive human dead person talking to me, and here is why:
I think I could come up with a lot of comforting things to say to a person who was THINKING of killing himself. But someone who had already done it, successfully? I would really have NO idea of what to say.
Now, I'd know what to say to a demon. I'd say, "get the hell out of my new apartment, in Jesus' name!" Then I'd move in
and play John Rutter CD's non-stop for about a month, and keep pleadin' the Blood.
Problem solved.
1752 - Irene Athena
Playing this would probably be effective in either case.
1753 - Mary reborn literally
NO, that is incorrect. God was leading me to greener pastures. Sorry, don't pretend to know all the answers. Only God knows.
Being me is not easy. Like apparitions in Alabama and Guatemala and now when I tried to explain you throw in your opinion. Your opinions are not the explanantion. I know what is what. I know what the signs mean. I know what Revelations is about and I know the evil ones who keep lying and covering up the truth.
1754 - Mary reborn literally
God put me here today. God made me to speak English and to understand what it is I need to do to HELP the world but there were very evil persons in a dark and confused state of mind that did not believe that at first. I am not done with my mission yet. You will. Angels are among you and you know it not. Read your Bibles.
1755 - Mary reborn literally
Do not call evil good or try to speak on my behalf. That is meddling and also God warns you about doing that. AMEN I am not someone to laugh at. Oh yes, I hear the rolling thunder...and God, oh how great thou art. I do know what I am doing and saying.
1756 - Mary reborn literally
I proved that I do pray, I proved I pray for miracles. I proved that my color is blue and I proved that I was born different by another miraculous photo. I am not mentally ill. When we make this earth as it should be, God will be pleased.
1757 - Mary reborn literally
This is my story, so let me tell it. Excuse yourself and refrain from interrupting me.
Thank you but you are not me and you never will be folks. Hail Mary, FULL OF GRACE.
So, 13 is not evil and neither was Jesus but the antiChrists are and the ones who are still playing like it's not their turn.
1758 - Mary reborn literally
Mean people don't know how to be nice. That's why they get called mean. Those who hate Christ and teachings are so obvious. Their ignorances are appalling and it is like a never ending saga of the ones who took advantage of me like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, John Lennon, and Petula Clark also who took my song Down Town. But hey, they are just a drop in the bucket. I sang songs at our campfires we had as kids and those songs got stolen too. Beowulf is a good example of where two of them went to. Debbie Boone sings You Light Up My Life which was stolen from me as I sang in my own home! Sure, you just keep dreaming about being a star sings YOKO...yeah, but not a falling one.
1759 - Mary reborn literally
Oh yeah, the first one who sang that was another person who heard me singing in Springfield, Ma about I Wanna Be Down With You...hey Maria...we all want what? The songs that we could not resist temptation to steal from you? Thanks for being so cunning I guess.
1760 - Mary reborn literally
The world is teetering on madness and wickedness. The TV shows depicting end days and 1/3 of mankind to be killed off in disasters. God sorting them out? Or do you just think that it's all a good story and nothing more? We shall see, won't we? We shall see.
1761 - Mary reborn literally
This is where my story fits in and explains in vivid details why certain miracles happened and where. Maybe there is like a horror film Leprachaun 5 and people freaking out because they cannot let go of their sins to me. Yeah, that's right. They claim to be brave and winners. Lady Gaga sings my songs I sang in the cellar so when she donates money after she gets punished, so she should. She may have caused it to them.
1762 - Mary reborn literally
God avenges the enemy and the enemy of God does not obey the ten commandments.
1763 - Al Barger
Mary- Haven't heard from you in awhile. Glad to see you back in action. Keep prophesying, sister.
1764 - Irene Athena
1753 - M.R.L - I am glad you got led to greener pastures. I hope some folks get led to that poor landlady's apartment. It's hard owning property jinxed by a history of suicide.
1756 You say, "I am not mentally ill." If you were, though, would that discount you from prophesying? There have been many prolifically creative people who have also lived with deep psychic pain. The unpredictable working of their brains at times shut down their ability to function in any capacity. At other times, though, at their most creative, the tumult in their souls tuned them in to the chaos that was in the world of the spirit, where muses and angels and demons dwell.
1765 - Irene Athena
#1758 If you had something to do with sending the inspiration for Down Town into the universe, then I tip my hat to you, and so should Petula Clark. And so should the B-52's. DownTown, that's one great song.
I always enjoy hearing what you have to say, Mary Reborn Literally. Take good care. (Hi Al Barger!)
1766 - Mary reborn literally
Yes, Al, IF you have something to add to the conversation mention. Like if you experienced something similar but not to think your own thoughts on the matter. If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you? The face on the Drew Street Miracle being blank like the check I got too.
1767 - Mary reborn literally
I am trying to be social. Not just whispers in the dark to God so I don't get flack from nonbelievers. Irene, I correct you like a parent would, like God would. What happened that day was totally strange but nothing new. I am glad to see people not being afraid of talking about the afterlife and visions and taking a stand. This is a learning experience for those who care to learn. Like this blog is a school for those who did not know. Al Barger knows that I come forth with humanly issues I have had to face. I don't pretend that life went like a song for me,it did not. The first song I sang at two years old that got stolen, was Inch Worm...remember that one? Measuring the Merigolds lyrics. I was just playing in my the yard in Haines City, Florida singing as I loved to do and a man walking by heard me and chuckled. Now he laughed all the way to the bank I presume. I entertained my family members by singing in the tub, the little duckie song. Yeah folks, ave in Spanish means bird. I sang the song, I am your songbird too. This gift I have is passed on from relatives who played professionally as well as for their own pleasure.
1768 - Mary reborn literally
The spirit talking to me Irene is proof and nothing to be afraid of. The situation was never explained to me but my gut feeling was that it was a bad scene to live there. The dead do reach us and it is not a fake gift to have. I cherish the telephone that rose up by itself when a bad guy was harassing me and I screamed out to God, please, hang it up for me. He had been calling me all day and night. I literally saw the phone lift up and slam down on the chest of drawers. No lie. I am not on here to confuse you.
1769 - Mary reborn literally
From Al's comments about NOT nicey nice. The forces that be and the situations that be Al. Why we are the way we are and how others treated us. The pious ones whom Jesus called down for making up rules that had nothing to do with GOD or truth but was for their own advantages or agendas. AHEM, many of which do not know they lie. Purposed imaginings can be proven wrong. So, the love of money plays a big part in why they lied too, not the reward of Heaven.
1770 - Mary reborn literally
1726 Al Barger The savages I grew up with did not live by any codes or morals. They were not strong in character or tried very hard to overcome any obstacle. Detesting them came easily when they harbored much ill will and were not likable people.
1771 - Mary reborn literally
So, it is certain that correction can come from someone like me who can prove worthy of correction from time to time as I have brain damage and survived an O.D. I tried to tell Al to help me out because you don't realize that I am not supposed to be alive at all from tragedies. Yet, I function enough to speak about why I did what I did and why you are seeing the miracles. My memory of being born is clear, my memory of telling my Mother you have named me Catherine but I am Mary sent back while teething and she brought me cold carrots from the freezer to gnaw on are correct. My earth angels who came to my side when I needed them to help me get this mission done and the ones who heard God tell them she is Mary and the colors blue and yellow will be seen as evidence will help me get through this now. My body aching, my brain hurts often from the head wound, and the rib cage still busted from being thrown around by a gangster in Edwardsville, Pa...who punched a hole in my head with his bare hands and left me to die also and was set free to roam about because no one could hold him in long. You think I lived in an Ivory Tower in the last days? I am lucky to be sitting here today and speak of the evil of which is because we are nasty hateful birds.
1772 - Mary reborn literally
I am not afraid of ghosts. I am not afraid of aliens. I am not going to go quietly as the real bad asses of this world make up lies either. They are the mentally ill ones, not me. People who try to be big shots make fools of themselves. Anyhow, too bad for those who can't shut up and they die in their sins. SINS folks. The difference between me and you and why I am able to speak the truth is because I seek the truth.
1773 - Mary reborn literally
Irene, B-52 bombers did not make the fire when I called out FIRE in Dunedin, Florida. Yes, I know the Blue Angels and have gone to a couple of air shows. My Father is in the Navy and is proud of being in it. I, was not like him though and became a flower power child of Woodstock and gave rallies in Hillsborough Park, Tampa, Florida. Needless to say I am the flower girl. Yep.
1774 - Mary reborn literally
So there you have the current thoughts. Like Close Encounters using my little tune and Roy screaming, WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? HOW COME I KNOW SO MUCH? There you have it. And now I say again, HOW COME I KNOW SO MUCH?!!!
1775 - Irene Athena
M.R.B. I was talking about the band, B-52's, and their cover of Down Town, though. It's cute. And I'm glad it's cute, because now I can't get it out of my head.
