ALTER2EGO -to- EVERYONE: Below is a video of a recent bullying event on a school bus in which 13-year-old schoolboys spent a good 20 minutes humiliating an elderly bus monitor. Even when she started crying they would not stop. They made fun of her crying by saying she was sweating. All you could hear was the "F" word coming from these kids mouths. This video is proof positive that we are living in the time of the end of this wicked system of things. The victim was interviewed on the Today Show on 6/21/2012. "{1} But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. {2} For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, {3} having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness," (2 Timothy 3:1-3) [video=youtube;E12R9fMMtos]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E12R9fMMtos&feature=relmfu[/video] [video=youtube;668AQoumzWo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=668AQoumzWo&feature=related[/video]
A pensioner who was reduced to tears by cruel taunts from schoolchildren has received more than £70,000 from well-wishers after footage of the incident went viral. 68-year-old bus monitor Karen Kline was subject to repeated abuse. Bus monitor Karen Klein, 68, was filmed by one of the passengers being mercilessly mocked by kids on a schoolbus in Greece, New York. In the video, which found its way onto YouTube, Mrs Klein is called “fat and ugly”. At one point a child can be heard saying: “If I stabbed you in the stomach, my knife would f****** go through like butter, because it’s all f****** lard”. It has since been reported that one of her sons committed suicide 10 years ago. The footage has been watched more than 1.2 million times since it was uploaded two days ago. After seeing the clip Toronto resident Max Sidorov decided to set up a fund for Mrs Klein, which has since gone on to shatter its £3180 [$5000] target. More than 3000 people have donated to the “vacation” pot which currently stands at a staggering £75,129 [$118,463]. Mr Sidorov, who has revealed he was once a victim of bullying, said: “Thank you everyone for your generous support, tomorrow is a new day and new adventures await! I hope Karen can sleep soundly with all this new joy in her life.” Speaking after the incident Mrs Klein, a widow, said: “I just never imagined this in a million years, what they did to me. I was trying to ignore them hoping they would go away but it doesn’t work, trust me they didn’t go away. “I hope the parents see this and they can talk to their kids and tell them they need to be more respectful.” Talking to NBC, she added: “Back in my day we were afraid of adults more or less which meant we respected them. I would like them to apologise to me, that would be nice.” Mrs Klein said that she attempted to ignore her tormentors to no avail. Officials for the Greece Central School District officials pledged to punish those involved in the incident, while police are also investigating. “All students found to have a role in this incident will face disciplinary action,” a spokesman said.
ALTER2EGO -to- EVERYONE: Some might argue that the recorded event in my OP--in which several school boys harassed their elderly school bus monitor--was nothing out of the ordinary because children have always disrespected adults. Look at the verse of scripture that I included in my OP, and this time, focus on the words that are in bold print and you will see all the Biblical violations those kids were involved in. "{1} But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. {2} For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, {3} having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness," (2 Timothy 3:1-3) 1. Verse 2: "lovers of themselves" 2. Verse 2: "haughty" 3. Verse 2: "disobedient to parents" 4. Verse 3: "having no natural affection" 5. Verse 3: "without self-control" 6. Verse 3: "without love of goodness" Go back and look at the tape and listen closely to what those kids were telling the woman. 1. They referred to her by her first name, Karen, rather than respectfully address her as Miss Klein. 2. They repeatedly told her about her "fat azz." 3. One of them made reference to her "f***ing ugly azz ears" and her "cheap earrings." 4. When she informed them she was crying, one of them commented it was because she probably missed her box of Twinkies and that the Twinkies should be shoved up her azz. 5. They accused of being a child rapist who would pick out which kid she would rape next from the school's Yearbook. 6. One of them tried to pull out her hearing aid. 7. They informed her she probably lived in an "f***ing trailer," after which one of them asked for her address in order, as he put it: "so I can freaking pizz all over your door" or break into her house and steal everything. 8. When she told them not to say anything unless they had something nice to say, she was told to "shut the f*** up." 9. One of them repeatedly poked her with his fingers, while one of his cheerleaders told him: "You just touched her arm flab." When he poked her with his book, the others warned him that his book was now infected. 10. They told her she was: "gonna die of f***ing diabetes because she's so ***ed fat." 11. They informed her that her earrings were fake gold or "f***ing plastic." 12. They informed her she's a troll and that she's ugly. 13. When she held her handbag in front of her defensively, one of them informed her: "If I stabbed you in the stomach, my knife would go through you like butter because it's all f***ing water." Another kid chimed in and told her: "If I cut you, the whole value meal would be coming out from MacDonald's." 14. One of them informed her that she was looking at him as if she wanted to rape him. 15. Another kid informed her: "If you come by my house I will f***ing beat your azz." 16. A couple of them taunted her that her handbag was probably purchased for $1 at the discount store or else she must have got it out the trash. 17. One of them told her that she probably didn't have any family, and that if she did, they probably killed themselves because they didn't want to be near her. Keep in mind, that's just 10 minutes of the tape that I posted. This went on for 20 minutes. Now, at what time in history have you ever heard or seen children behave in this manner towards an authority figure and do so publicly? True, children have always disrespected adults. But those kids on that bus didn't merely talk back to the elderly woman. They cursed her out, humiliated her, and literally physically assaulted her by going up to her and poking her with their fingers and their book. Then they threatened her with physical harm. Remember, this is someone they knew is an authority figure on the bus to protect them. What was demonstrated on that video was excessively disrespectful behavior--the type that is in line with Bible prophecy.
Since this article was posted in the religion forum don't you think that the woman should forgive her tormentors? Wouldn't it be nice if she took the kids out for a pizza party with some of the money she received? Psalm 25:21-22 (CEV) = If your enemies are hungry, give them something to eat. And if they are thirsty, give them something to drink. This will be the same as piling burning coals on their heads. And the Lord will reward you.
Granny says now she can afford to retire an' not have to put up with dem lil' hooligans... 4 N.Y. students who bullied bus monitor suspended for a year Jun 29, 2012 - Four seventh-graders who bullied bus monitor Karen Klein have been suspended for a year, banned from bus transportation and ordered to do community service with senior citizens, the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle reports.
I think anyone with a semblance of a heart finds this episode repugnant. To use it as a sign of the end times, as some sort of absolute confirmation, seems an absurd stretch however. The Spanish Inquisition, was that a sign of the end times? The Civil War? Nagasaki? The Crusades? Man's inhumanity to man has been well documented throughout history. As putrid as this event was, do you really believe it represents the height of human depravity?
ALTER2EGO to- BEAST MODE & THEBRUCEBEAT: There's no denying that children have been disrespectful to adults in the past. But not to the extent it occurs in our time. In recent decades, it was unheard of for a child to use foul language to an adultany adult. This type of behavior is no longer isolated. As to the wars mentioned by TheBruceBeat, none of these wars marked the time of the end because they were isolated incidents. They did not happen in combination with the other events that Jesus Christ, at Matthew 24:1-14, said would mark the time of the end of this wicked system of things. I don't know if either of you are Bible readers, but at Matthew 24:1-14, Jesus gave a prophecy that had a dual fulfillment. Take, for example, the following verse. "For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another." (Matthew 24:7) This did not have its complete fulfillment until the 20th century when, for the first time in human history, the entire world was at war (World War I and World War II). In addition, the latter part of the above verse dealing with food shortages points to our time period. In the 20th century, record numbers of people were known to suffer famine. In this century alone, the condition for many people is dire, as indicated by the "World Famine Timeline," at the following website. http://www.mapreport.com/subtopics/d/0.html
As a former pastor I do have a passing acquaintance with scripture. Since there have been enough humanoids to form two tribes, there has been war, famine. Record numbers of people starve today as we have record numbers of people. Man's inhumanity to man has been a relative constant to his history, and it is true that we are perfecting it, becoming more technologically adept in our cruelty, but the heart has remained relatively consistent. Since Jesus spoke, all believers have thought they lived in the end times. Even Christ and Paul thought this, and of course that was not the case. Someday, somewhere, someone will be right. What the end times narrative does achieve is a sense of urgency. This is a necessary element in the close of any sale.
Someone needs to take a baseball bat to the little (*)(*)(*)(*)s' heads. Punks need to learn at a young age that running your mouth can get the (*)(*)(*)(*) knocked out of you. My friend's son is a little peace of crap like that. He picks fights all the time for no reason. Once, last year, he picked a right witthe the wrong guy can got his ass kicked. His dad and I sat there and watched. He needed to learn a lesson and we stepped in before he got hurt bad. He ended up with a busted lip and a black eye, and no he doesn't go around running his mouth. Lesson learned
We are all in our own individual end times. Some people won't make it through the night. So why worry about the end of the world? Matthew 6:34 (CEB) = Therefore, stop worrying about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
