    your head!

    OMAHA, Neb. - A Web-page designer who auctioned off the use of his forehead for advertising space is letting it go to his head.

    advertisementAndrew Fischer, 20, of Omaha, who put his forehead for sale on eBay as advertising space, received $37,375 on Friday to advertise the snoring remedy, SnoreStop.

    Fischer will display the SnoreStop logo on his forehead for one month.

    “I look forward to an enjoyable association with Andrew — a man who clearly has a head for business in every sense of the word,” SnoreStop CEO Christian de Rivel said.

    “People will always comment on something out of the ordinary,” Fischer said in his sales pitch. “People like weird.”

    But there were limits: He refused from the outset to be the conduit for any message or product deemed tasteless or unacceptable in traditional advertising formats.

    After Bar Codes, Tats & Corporation T-shirts could Selling-Your-Soul be the Next Money-Making Trend?

    How's this for a prophetic fulfillment?

    Book of Revelation - Chapter 13

    13:16
    And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
    13:17
    And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
    13:18
    Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

    Evidently the next person to try this DID get less; around 900 some odd dollars...

    Too late man, this guy already spoiled the market

    People that don't care if they gain the whole world & lose their own soul must be a dime-a-dozen! Guess it's a Buyer's market for the likes of Tommy Hell Figure...

    PS.: Then I heard of cheerleaders wearing ads on their bellies at some sporting event. I'll bet they did it for fame & glory. (FREE) That's the way we advertise for Corporate America. We wear their Logos for nothin'. In fact we pay them for their own goods, which if their Logos are on-- cost even more. We're a bunch of suckers. Those guys are laughin' all the way to the bank!

    Stupid Bloody Tuesday...

    You let your knickers down..."

    By definition, your soul is your BODY and your SPIRIT.

    Your spirit is the thing that leaves you when you die. Then the body becomes inanimate, lifeless, it can't move.

    Some people act like their spirit is some insignificant little Casper the Friendly Ghost thingie that tags along with them that they don't ever see or want or need to have.

    But at the same time, I'm certain if people like to do whatever they want with their bodies; pleasure, enjoyment, satisfy cravings, recreation, sex, drugs, rock n' roll, whatever, they would be scared shitless if somebody threatened to take that away from them.

    Soul is your combined free-will that enables you to operate in this dimension. You can't have one without the other, body & spirit.

    So people that say they don't want their "Soul" are claiming they don't want their own Body to belong to them either. Because your body, the vehicle would just crumble to the earth & rot. That's just plain stupid.

    OK--let's get out the red-hot pokers & battery clips & we'll see if you still agree that you don't love your own body.

    Hey--if I was so inclined, you could come & work for me for free. Or I could put you to work in somebody's coal mine & you could just give me all your paychecks. Maybe we could make a whole army out of you & your little buddies. Hell, we could just clone one of you & put the whole damn world to work for us for free. That's a concept! Hypothetical? Believe me, they're workin' on it...

    That's SLAVERY! Just like selling your soul to Corporate Babylon to wear their MARK.

    This kind of Whore is not necessarily all about Sex. It's a Metaphor for & about Capitalism, Commerce, World-City, Globalism, The System of Commercial Babylon; where everything & everyone is had for a price.

    Unless you say NO.

    See Below; Revelations 17:5 - And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. (Read the complete vision of John the Revelator while in exile by the Romans on the Isle of Patmos. The Emporer tried to boil him in oil, but he wouldn't boil, so out of frustration they just put him on a ship & dropped him off on an island all by himself. This is where he got these visions of the Future. He was 90 years old at this time, but the stuff he saw is happening today. The completion of Babylon that hearks back in time to the Old World Tower of Babel which was never finished. But it is getting there now.)


    Book of Revelation

    Chapter 17


    17:1
    And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
    17:2
    With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
    17:3
    So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
    17:4
    And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
    17:5
    And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
    17:6
    And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
    17:7
    And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
    17:8
    The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
    17:9
    And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
    17:10
    And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
    17:11
    And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
    17:12
    And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
    17:13
    These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
    17:14
    These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
    17:15
    And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
    17:16
    And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
    17:17
    For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
    17:18
    And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

    THE BIG FAT WHORE OF BABYLON GOES DOWN FOR THE LAST TIME

    These two verses say it all. Babylon the Great Mama-Sun of Whores, get's destroyed in a One Hour. The rest of the chapter is below.

    18:9
    And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
    18:10
    Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.



    Book of Revelation

    Chapter 18


    18:1
    And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
    18:2
    And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
    18:3
    For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
    18:4
    And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
    18:5
    For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
    18:6
    Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
    18:7
    How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
    18:8
    Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
    18:9
    And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
    18:10
    Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
    18:11
    And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
    18:12
    The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
    18:13
    And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
    18:14
    And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
    18:15
    The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
    18:16
    And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
    18:17
    For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
    18:18
    And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
    18:19
    And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
    18:20
    Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
    18:21
    And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
    18:22
    And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
    18:23
    And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
    18:24
    And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
