Title: Is Online Business BS? Or What?

 Title: Is Online Business BS? Or Did I Dial The Wrong Number? - 65 And Learning*

I thought business was a 4-letter word.

I even wrote it like this in my notes: B-Z-N-Z. That's how mad I was.

I'm 65. I remember business as a handshake on Main Street. You knew the man, you knew the store. If he did you wrong, you knew where to find him.

Now? I tried dating online - ended up in a park trap. I tried Claim wise - ended up selling my phone number. I saw a number on TV for that 25k thing, dialed wrong - MY fault, my old eyes - and suddenly I'm getting calls about solar panels.

I said, this whole internet business is BS. And for a while, I meant it.

But here's what I learned. And it's my fault I didn't see it sooner.

The internet wasn't supposed to replace brick and mortar. It was supposed to be an extension of it. But the criminal element figured out you don't need the brick. You just need to LOOK like a business for 3 seconds. That's the animal we got now.

So I filtered it. 90% is BS. 10% is real. I live in the 10% now.

Real is Loctite Blue 242 on my trike basket bolts.

Real is apples and nuts in the morning, salmon cakes when my stomach tells me it needs protein.

Real is a blue adult trike I'm saving for, so I can DoorDash on three wheels.

Real is a $70 Giro MIPS helmet, not a $600 airbag vest.

My fault, my fix, my trike, my street. That's my business now.

 

 

   - What I thought online business was BS?

   - Why it felt personal at 65

*2. Story 1: The Park Trap (Dating)*

   - What happened, short version

   - What it taught me about no-face business

*3. Story 2: My Fault - I Dialed Wrong*

   - I own this one. Blurry TV number, my eyes, my dial

   - How one wrong number puts you on 100 lists

   - Lesson: Double check, write it down, call back tomorrow

*4. Story 3: The Guru With The Rented Lambo*

   - "Secret system" BS 

   - Why real business is boring and that's good

*5. The Turn: What Real Online Business Looks Like At 65*

   - AdSense $17 RPM - I write, they click, Google pays. Real.

   - DoorDash trike - I ride, I deliver, they pay. Real.

   - Loctite on bolts - I do the work so food don't fall off. Real.

*6. The Filter: 3 Questions I Ask Now Before I Call Anything*

   - 1. Do they have a real address I can see?

   - 2. Do they want my SSN/bank before product?

   - 3. Do they promise money with no work?

   - If yes to 2 and 3 = BS.

*7. Close: Brick, Mortar, and Loctite*

   - Internet is just a tool, not the business

   - Blue trike, blue Loctite, blue collar work

   - My fault, my fix.

The song!

My Idea of True Love - True Love Never Fails (1 Cor 13:7,8)

What is my idea of true love?*

Many people today are confused. The world, porn, trafficking, all the industries connected to it, they tell us true love IS physical attraction. If the body looks good, that is love. But that is counterfeit love. It never satisfies. It always wants more. It rewires the world of relationships.

So what is my idea of true love?

> What is my idea of true love?

> Well it transcends the confines of physical attraction.

> What is my idea of true love?

> Whether physical, mental, or spiritual, it guarantees satisfaction.

> What is my idea of true love?

> Well it rains down like the spirit of Jah from heaven above.

> It believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things,

> And yes, as the song rings, true love never, ever fails.

> Praise Jah and Aman! Praise Jah and Aman!

*1. It transcends physical attraction.*

1 Samuel 16:7 says man looks at the outward appearance, but Jehovah looks at the heart. I have been disfellowshipped before. I know what it feels like to be judged by what you did, and to wonder if people can trust you again. But Jehovah does not see like man sees. Porn trains the brain to only see the body. True love, agape, sees the heart. It can transcend.

*2. Whether physical, mental, or spiritual - it guarantees satisfaction.*

Counterfeit love only satisfies one part - the flesh - and leaves the mind and spirit empty. That is why people stay trapped. True love satisfies all. When you talk together, think together, pray together, you are satisfied. Philippians 4:8. This is why I keep doing Break Free until I expire. Because true satisfaction is possible.

*3. It rains down like the spirit of Jah from heaven above.*

James 1:17 - every good gift and perfect present is from above. True love is not something we make. It rains down. When I make a post and pour out my soul like a drink offering (2 Tim 4:6, Phil 2:17), it is obvious His wisdom and spirit is with me. I don't write alone. It rains down from heaven above.

*4. It believes all things, hopes, endures, never fails.*

This is what we just studied in w24 August pp.14-19 Study Article 33 - How the Congregation Reflects Jehovah's View of Sinners.

In Corinth, a man committed serious sin. He was removed. 1 Cor 5:13. But he repented. And what did Paul say? Not just "let him back." He said "Kindly forgive and comfort him, and confirm your love for him." 2 Cor 2:7,8. Why? Because discipline had done its work. Heb 12:11. If they refused to forgive, he could be swallowed up by excessive sadness. 2 Cor 2:7.

That is true love. It believes repentance is real. It hopes the person will make it. It endures with them. And it never fails.

I have lived this. I was removed, I repented, I was reinstalled. I know what it feels like to need that forgiveness. And that is why Break Free exists - 186 posts now. My attempt to make amends for whatever damage I did. My drink offering back to Jehovah. Because He believed all things about me, hoped all things, endured all things.

My idea of true love is Jehovah's idea of true love.

And it never, ever fails.

Praise Jah and Aman!

*Inspired Reading: What Shaped This Poem*

This reflection on "love believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things" (1 Corinthians 13:7) was shaped by these books:

1. *The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis* - Explains affection, friendship, eros, and agape love beyond physical attraction.

 

2. *Love Does by Bob Goff* - Practical stories of love in action.

3. *Holy Bible, NKJV* - Where "love never fails" originates.

BE IN IT TO WIN IT - The Full Testimony

 *BE IN IT TO WIN IT - The Full Testimony*

Psalm 119 hit me hard that night. "Old things may not be good enough today."

I was the guy telling everybody, "Read four pages a day, you can read the Book in a year." But I wasn't doing it myself. I was giving out counsel I wasn't living.

Down in Baltimore I started for real. That's when that anvil fell. Rock pon my chest, him sittin' on the rock. Like Wile E. Coyote got me. Pressure you can't move.

I called that brother up in Martinsville on the phone. He said, "How you know he wouldn't hit you anyway, even if you'd left it alone?" That stuck.

So I doubled up. Four pages to eight to sixteen. Rock never lifted to this day, but I stayed clean. That pressure taught me how to lean on Jah.

*WHY JUST SKULL AND PALMS AND FEET?*

I wandered years over Jezebel's end. Revelation 2:20 says that spirit is being tolerated. Why just skull and palms and feet left of her? My friend, Jah opened my eyes — that's the whole man.

Mind = skull — what you think.

Hands = palms — what you do, what you work with.

Feet = where you stand, where you walk.

Think clean, work clean, walk clean with Jah. Don't walk away.

*BRIEF HISTORY - WHERE THIS SPIRIT COMES FROM*

This ain't new. This Jezebel spirit been tolerated a long time.

Briefly: In ancient times you see it on walls — Pompeii and old carvings. False worship and sexual images always went together. Sorcery and immorality linked, just like Revelation says.

Then the printing press came — it could print Bibles, but it also printed dirty pictures for the first time mass-produced.

Then photography — 1800s. Then magazines — 1953 Playboy made it mainstream in America, put it on the newsstand.

Then video in the 70s and 80s made it a billion-dollar business in every town.

Then the internet in the 90s put that same anvil on every phone, every house, every kid's room. Now it's OnlyFans and everything else — same old spirit, just faster delivery. No more skull, palms, and feet needed to produce it — just a click.

It never was just about pictures. It's always been false religion, sorcery, and breaking up families. When he can't break YOU, he breaks people AROUND you. Just like Job.

*WHERE I AM NOW*

Now I'm retired but not from the fight. One whole book a day in the morning light. Whole Bible as a whole, truly Jah Word. I love it and I need it, more than food. That's my breakfast. Daily text, Watchtower, whole book — that's my breakfast.

My favorite is Job. When Jah answers from the storm, He don't just answer — He asks the questions, in perfect form. He is the Detective, Champion of Justice. He saw the case from heaven. He never misses — not a skull, not a hand, not a feet.

Anvil still there, but Jah makes me complete. From four pages to a book a day.

I'm still in it — I'm in it to win it, with Jah all the way.

Be in it to win it... Jah Word a my food...

Why I care so much about encouraging ones to break free from porn?(Subtitle; Free flow of God's Spirit!)

Why the devil opposed me so much, about this?

What he hoped to accomplish by ending my marriage.

Why, even though the people connected to porn are dangerous, plus in with the devil.

The free flow of God's Spirit!

Why the devil opposed me so much, about this?

     Why I care so much about encouraging ones to break free from porn?(Subtitle; Free flow of God's Spirit!)

Why the devil opposed me so much, about this?

Obviously the devil is going to oppose anyone that goes against the grain of his system, especially sexual relations. It is his favorite tool to use against all of us. It always works like a charm.

We are designed to respond to sexual stimuli. Procreation is the purpose for that.

But Satan's world has turned it into recreation.

What he hoped to accomplish by ending my marriage.

Clearly he wanted me to give up my mission to encourage as many people as possible. He thought without my wife to support me, I would abandon my mission in search of another wife, or just any woman to have sex with or multiple partners even.

Thus my experience with online dating. Some sites don't just encourage marriage as the goal, but just hooking up and just having fun! The majority of individuals on so-called dating sites are fed up with marriage, and just want to have fun.

Why, even though the people connected to porn are dangerous, plus in with the devil?

Simple. There is so much money involved with the whole sex machine. The people that will listen to my messages and warnings are negligible compared to the ones that will never believe porn is harmful — not to mention the ones that make money off of porn, and all types of sex workers.

I also rely on Jehovah's protection, from the devil and the dangerous crowd involved.

Thus my mission statement: *No Mission too dangerous, No Mission too impossible!*

*The free flow of God's Spirit!*

This is the key point. Sex, violence, uncleanness, and all forms of immorality, are things that impede the flow of God's Spirit in our lives. After experiencing the free flow of God's Spirit, one would fight for it, like a boxer in a boxing ring for a multi-million dollar prize. There is no feeling on earth like it!

God's people didn't just see God's power while crossing the Red Sea, but they no doubt felt the power Jehovah used at that time. The same, no doubt, was true about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! They were in a burning furnace, but the flames didn't even harm them. Not even the smell of smoke! Powerful!

*In conclusion: why do I care?* I want everyone that is rightly disposed for everlasting life, to break free from everything that can knock them out of the race for life. Jehovah wants all to attain to repentance and be saved! Word! _(2 Peter 3:13)_

The Rewired world of relationships. Subtle: (Adverse effects of social media)

Globalization, how has it impacted relationships and dating!

Too many relationship Police!?

Online dating, video games from hell, why?

What is the solution, rewiring us all back so we can successfully navigate relationships 

Globalization, how has it impacted relationships and dating!

            First of all, if one doesn't know what globalization is, in layman's terms, it really is a small world because of globalization. Because of the Internet, social media, and also AI, we are so connected to each other. Unfortunately that also includes the criminal element of our society that is more connected to us as well. Dangerously, our reality is being threatened by globalization.

    Too many relationship Police!?

            To further complicate things, because their are so much psychological trauma resulting from all of the dynamics of this issue, there is plethora of opinions and books, authors out there sharing their experiences and solutions. However, let the buyer be ware. One term that comes to mind, I just heard of recently is micro cheating. I feel a professional psychologist needs to research and hopefully truly define this concept before mass hysteria gets things so misconstrued, that relationships will end for no good reason.

  Online dating, video games from hell, why?

         This is obvious, because whether open, or paid, and regulated seemingly safe platforms, online love and relationship hunting is not cheap. One either gets scammed alot, or it's too expensive, not to mention fake people and scammers end up on all sites, and now they have AI to assist them! Very scary times!

What is the solution, to rewiring us all back so we can successfully navigate relationships

          First of all, and this is my gut feeling, not necessarily true, but whoever start myed online dating should be put in a space ship and lost in space. However, most likely online dating has been around so long that a person has already passed, and is probably tuning over in their grave, because what it has come to, is not what they had in mind. Although the Internet connected us in a great way, the criminal element is the least of our problems. In person interaction has gotten lost, plus Bible principles are seldom incorporated in those interactions.

So in conclusion: Getting back to the basics. The fundamental principles of love and relationships as outlined in God's word is the key, plus emphasize in person interaction so no one can hide who they really are, to speed up the decision to end or continue the relationship, based on compatibility factors.

Last time on the Secret Eye'

CAPTAIN DUNSILE VS JEZEBEL: THE DAY THE LAKE WENT DARK*  

*Von Bro' - Part 1* 

*GEORGE:* "Morning kids!"

*KIDS:* In unison; "Morning Papa!"

*GEORGE:* "Did you kids know that Spunkmyer had you two Lojacked somehow, monitoring everything you were doing last night? Because he calls me this morning talking about the twins. He wants them both, for college students, and case studies!?"

*KIDS:* In unison; "Twins!?" _As Susie fainted!_

*GEORGE:* "Yes, Twins!!"

*MAN-BOT:* "Yes, Papa, about that, it's my fault. He told me it was just to monitor my function while we go through the reproductive process. Had no idea it would transfer so much data to him in real time! Twins! Yes! I am the Man-bot!"

*GEORGE:* "Charming! Bring Susie back online and you get down to breakfast! We have a busy day, fishing, and fundraisers galore!"

---

*To be Continued:*  

*Von Bro'*  

---

As our heroes go about their fishing and fundraisers and everything, Crimzon Darn 2 and his sister are arriving from a time gravity well after they appropriated a device from some unsuspecting Nazis.

*JEZEBEL:* "Come brother, those bozos got what they had coming to them, and stop questioning my methods!"

*CRIMZON DARN 2:* "Methods is not exactly what I would call your behavior, sis! You are insane!"

*JEZEBEL:* "Ooh baby, you know your sister really keeps you happy and turned on. Come here, sugar, let me give you a big kiss, brother!"

*CRIMZON DARN 2:* "Very funny, little sister, always the bad girl! Come, let's change into native clothes so we don't stand out and start snooping around."

---

*Meanwhile back at the fish lake!*

*GEORGE:* "Wow! We are really catching a lot of good fish today!"

*SUSIE:* "We? Papa, since Man-bot, all you have to do is just supervise!"

*GEORGE:* "Well, I still drive the boat! You have to admit that!?"

*SUSIE:* "Really, Papa, you are relaxing on auto-pilot. Just face it, you are Captain Dunsile!"

*GEORGE:* "That is Cold ❄️ 🥶 baby!"

*MAN-BOT:* "She is right, Papa. You could stay home and we could handle everything!?"

*GEORGE:* "I could really take you apart right now, Man-bot!"

*MAN-BOT:* "Sorry, Pops, just telling it like it is, Daddy-o! But you are getting soft!"

Suddenly the sky just got very dark and I triggered the thermistors on the surrounding utility poles.

*GEORGE:* "Great Seizures Ghost!"

*JEZEBEL:* "Is that the way to talk to your old girlfriend, sugar!?"

*SUSIE:* "Wow! We are being abducted by aliens!"

*GEORGE:* "Jezebel! Can't say I'm happy to see you! How in the hell did you get out of jail?"

*JEZEBEL:* "Is that all you have to say, baby!? After all we meant to each other!?" She said as she raised a strange-looking weapon. Right away George recognizes it and pressed the emergency transformation button but bypassed submarine mode so as not to give up his headquarters location. Bulletproof assault vehicle started to float and weapons came into position:

*JEZEBEL:* "Wow! You were always into the coolest gadgets in college. We could have been a great couple if you would have just seen things my way? But you chose to betray me! For that, I have to kill you!"

*GEORGE:* "See things your way? To help you start a college class in magic, witchcraft and sorcery at a Big 10 university? Witch please! I don't know how you escaped from prison but I'm sending you to hell this time, you sadistic p psychopath!!"

*SUSIE:* "Who's this scary woman, Papa? I don't like the way she talks! Let's take her down!?"

*MAN-BOT:* "Yes, Pop! She has been dissing’ us long enough! It's Clobbering Time!"

*JEZEBEL:* "Exactly what I had in mind! Launch the fighters, brother!" She said as dozens of fighting droids piled out of her space ship. Then her brother joined her and suddenly the sky over the fishing lake was lit up like Fourth of July and New Year's Eve all rolled into one.

*MAN-BOT:* "How the hell did we get into a Star Wars movie!?"

*SUSIE:* "That is irrelevant, hubby, we are in it!"

*GEORGE:* "Right kids, man weapons!"

George, command as the battle begins to rage!
