jckinsman Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) My husband calls this morning and says all the guys at work are pulling money out of the bank for the next four months! Something about "web-bot"??? They say it will be worse then 9/11! I told my husband to tell them fear is from satan himself! Has any one heard of any of this?..... and what it is about? I don't get a bunch of people running around freaking out,pulling there money out of the bank! Doesn't panic make "it" worse? Whatever "it" is?????? am I just behind the times?

Ash Wednesday Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) What? Never heard of it. I actually haven't heard of many people making runs at their banks. People told us that we were doomed at Y2K, too. Edited October 3, 2008 by Ash Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Speaking of Y2K.... you know, this decade has kind of blown chunks. 9/11, a bunch of wars, this economic garbage.... I won't miss this when it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very cautious when it comes to "gordon micheal scallion" stuff. I think people do not think well in panic mode. I think future predictions are to be taken with a grain of salt! God can change outcomes through prayer! That I know, is the only prediction I want to make! What your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffpugh Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 don't do it... seems like a ploy to crash the banks and cause western society to fall into an economic crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say that I advocate the ways of the dumb, unprepared fiddling grasshopper that laughs at the working ants -- but panic never helps in economic situations. Or any situation.

Church Punk Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 WEB BOTS!!!!! Is that like Megatron? Darn it evil decepticons.... I hope Optimus Prime comes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jckinsman Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 I think that curious is a good word for it! But it does lead you to the question as a Catholic,would the almighty EVER speak to us through things like this? I was always taught to stay away from all things like this,but given the state of the economy I think its possible for banks to take a "chill" moment for awhile. Someone slap me please when I get fearful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
