Conspiracy Corner: Government tampers with time

For some time now I have been keeping careful track of suspicious activity within the time/space continuum. At first I was a skeptic. I didn't want to believe that our government might be tampering with time and space. But the evidence is overwhelming. I believe now is the time to speak out.

On July 19, 2012, Skype popped up an alert for a friend's birthday. After opening Skype, no mention of a birthday could be found (nor on Facebook). Upon further inspection, it was found that Skype has July 20, 1900 logged as this friend's birthday. Apparently, time/space fluctuations had sent the birthday notification a full day into the past.

On August 16, 2012 a friend responded to a comment I made on Facebook microseconds before I posted the comment.

On August 22, 2012 during roll call for the states, Arizona called in with "Aloha from Arizona." Hawaii called in with "Howdy from Hawaii." Possible spatial tampering.

August 22-23, 2012: several reversions were noted on Facebook. Profiles of people I had defriended still showed up as friends. Notifications received were disappear and reappear intermittently...sometimes receiving the same notification twice. Same with statuses and comments. Evidence suggests that this is due to interference from sun spot activity with the government's time/space experiments.

You may have noticed most of these incidents involve the internet or phone. This is because electrical fields are especially sensitive to fluctuations in the time/space continuum. For example, the phenomenon known as "lag" is caused when the continuum self-corrects itself (the continuum is very resilient).

I have also received information from a reliable anonymous source that the U.S. government will perform a major time experiment on Nov. 4 of this year, possibly permanently altering the time/space continuum. Stay alert. I do not know how long this has been going on or what damage has already been done. For all we know, we could be living in alternate universe, completely oblivious to the fact that the timeline has been wrecked.

Money, Charity, and Social Awkwardness

Over the last couple of years, with the help of God and friends, I've been able to overcome a little bit of my shyness. There's one area, though, that hasn't been touched. Money.

I've heard lots about saving money, spending wisely, giving to charity, paying tithes and offerings--but I've never really heard anyone talk about the social awkwardness of money. Maybe it's just me, but I get uncomfortable around checks and dollar bills. Whether it's in giving or receiving or buying or selling, I tend to lock up. I don't know why. I just do.

I was in Mexico several years ago and a friend had to remind me haggle down the price. Negotiating money is a totally foreign concept to me. At least at the supermarket, everything is fixed. Just follow the system and you're fine. But outside of that strict business structure, whether bartering in Mexico or dealing with friends and family, the rules are not quite so straightforward.

In particular, I'm talking about giving and receiving charity. There are only two people in the world that I can accept money from or offer money to without getting butterflies in my stomach. My parents. Accepting money from them is easy, because, well, they've been supporting me all my life (thank you Mom and Dad). And as for returning the favor, I know that they would not hesitate to tell me if they were in need, even in a minor way. I don't think I'll ever be able to repay them for all they have done for me.

Outside of these two people, it is quite a different story. I don't have any problem with giving. But offering unsolicited--that's hard. I could say that people should just tell me when they need help. But the fact is that asking that is often harder than offering.

I don't know why money has to be such a big issue for me. I wish that it could pass as easily between us as prayer. Isn't that what James talked about--faith without works? After all, we're all in this together.
