  Dark side of Gloriavale
Posted by: Lilith7 - 25-02-2022, 03:15 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (16)

Interesting article on Gloriavale for anyone interested.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/1278602...ident-says


When you have families torn apart in the name of God in a Christian community, then I believe something is very wrong. Is this the way Jesus would want it to be?

ÔÇ£There is a dark side hidden in this community, which needs to be brought to the light.ÔÇØ


He described Gloriavale as ÔÇ£a brutal control regimeÔÇØ, with members conditioned to follow the shepherdsÔÇÖ authority from a young age, by a combination of public humiliation, withholding food, and, in the past, physical punishment.

Disciple said leaving did not feel like an option."

  "Pirate boat" arrives, crossed Cook Strait
Posted by: Lilith7 - 25-02-2022, 03:08 PM - Forum: Covid-19 - Replies (3)

Deluded people still arriving, apparently more intend to cross the strait which is foolhardy to say the least. The strait is one of the most treacherous in the world.


https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/1278792...thour-trip

"Earlier, Maritime New Zealand said it was aware of a number of vessels with protesters aboard leaving Picton on Friday morning, but it was not yet known how many.

Nigel Clifford, Maritime NZ deputy director safety and response systems, said anyone planning on making the journey should be aware the Cook Strait could be a very dangerous stretch of water.
Maritime NZ believed those navigating the vessels were ensuring passengers had life jackets, had correct communication tools and were checking weather forecasts.
Clifford said Cook Strait was forecast to get rougher through the afternoon.




Meanwhile, a large cluster of Covid-19 cases at the anti-mandate occupation was likely, given the close quarters protesters are in and the lack of masks, Health Minister Andrew Little said.
ÔÇ£I expect there will be a lot of people there who do get symptoms but wonÔÇÖt get tested because they donÔÇÖt want to concede to the existence of Covid, but there will be some, particularly some of the older folks there who could get quite unwell.ÔÇØ

He said those who do need hospital or medical care would always be able to regardless of vaccine status and should seek it out if they need to."

  Partner sent home from work yesterday suspected of having covid
Posted by: mike - 25-02-2022, 02:48 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (26)

She has four of the symptoms. Had a test yesterday but has to self isolate and wait 72 hours for the result. Physiologist at a DHB so was mandatory to have all
three shots. Handy when you don't live together at times, haven't seen her since Sunday which is out of the norm. Hopefully she and I don't have it. Think I should be in the clear if she does ? I have had all three shots now but booster was only given on Monday.
Before Omnicron when there was covid in the country she had to wear full PPE gear and change each time she seen a new client. ($65 bucks a pop each time for the PPE gear) Pretty sure the PPE gear was dropped with Omnicrom on the loose.

  So who believes this one? The Queen?
Posted by: king1 - 24-02-2022, 05:53 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (5)

Quote:A US blog called Hollywood Unlocked has appeared to apologise for accidentally reporting the death of the Queen, who is battling Covid-19.

But the outlet's founder Jason Lee now claims the Twitter account that tweeted the apology was fake, and that he stands by the story, reports Variety.

Not necessarily an outrageous claim, seems to back his sources, and the dear old lady is old and had contracted covid.  I give it 60/40 true

  indicators replace with LED s Nissan D21 1989
Posted by: kevlights - 22-02-2022, 08:12 PM - Forum: Motoring - Replies (9)

my new to me Nissan ute (old  school)it hasn't got repeaters on the side of the front wing panels, and hasn't got any mirror indicator repeaters either..
...I wish to put these on the ute, as Ive had them built in on previous vehicles and miss the extra safety .
Would like to use the LEDs as running lights ,but when turning (indicating have them operate as turn signals ?
..Is there any way to do this ? I'm thinking, hooking up LEDs to the front indicators and running wires up to the side and mirrors
i have strip 12volt self adhesive lights avail . is there any tech reason ,(fuses or relays etc) that prevent this ? and .is there a WOF issue ? WOF is due in fortnight .
indicators  with LED s Nissan D21 1989.
....Ive got a similar system on my R1100T and was interested in putting the same on the ute if possible ?
Any helpful suggestion appreciated..thanks Kev.

  Sad, gullible losers and Mr Gayford
Posted by: Magoo - 22-02-2022, 07:32 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (19)

Social media circulating gossip and innuendo regarding Mr Gayford.
the usual brain dead conspiracy drongoes.
'its happening today, its happening tomorrow' 'its dropping now'

just how minute does your brain have to be to get behind this shit?
delusional tittle tattle for the truly dumb.
their lives must be tiny if this is their focus. 

i dont have a link, because ive not been blessed with an excess of tolerance, and didnt seek to further 
rub my own nose in it.
 Saw something about it on reddit. enough for me.
childishly gullible, hunter bidens laptop, rigged elections, paedophile rings
now this...
what a shameful waste of oxygen these mouth breathers are.

go on then...
