We are already 'boiled frogs' that are quite comfortable in the ever warming water. :sleep:

I'm talking to you from my smart phone.

There you see, most people have a smart phone.

You cannot hardly go anywhere today without seeing a lot of dummies heads buried in there phones.

Has anyone who thinks that this is the mark of the beast, considered the fact that we all have social security numbers?

Even millions of illegals are given SS numbers.

Yes I have a laptop, reason, when I was selfemployed there was a need for it.

Today there is just as much need for it, Sweden is very much IT,

it is very difficult today without.

Gone are days of post office, post giro, banks are shrinking too with limited service,

Most of everyday chores are done on-line.

So that talk of you are using a computer does not cut it.

They are not so dumb if used as intended.

Have you ever tried mounting gables on a house with you on one side


and on the other side a young person tapping on an phone.

Already then I was happy I was nearing pension.

The bible does not say anything about something being inserted under your skin, then it would be hidden from view and therefore not a mark. It says quite specifically those who have woshipped the beast, or his image, or taken his mark. I don't think that this will be something which you can take without understanding what it is that you are taking. Also taking the mark of the beast is clearly a volentary act. Always a good thing to check exactly what the bible says for yourself.

Christ's bride is going to be raptured and won't be here, during the reign of the antichrist and the beast, so no beast, no mark of the beast. At this time, speculating about the mark of the beast is pointless. If you are one of those who loves His appearing, you are going to be raptured out of here and being present at the marriage of the Lamb. Why would you want to be here, when you could be the bride of Christ at the wedding feast?

Sigh... My next door neighbor from Columbia doesnt have one. My son's godmother lives in Russia and doesnt have one. My HS classmate who is now a Japanese citizen doesnt have a SSN.

Some of us are disabled and/or poor. Phones are better for us.

Besides, you're not using your computer for work, you're using it to talk on CForums.

A smartphone is just a computer, phone and camera together. We had all those things since the 1980s. Phones and cameras we've had since the turn of the last century, so I don't see the big deal. In a little while, I am going to a bonfire at my church so I still enjoy the quiet life. Smartphones aren't bad, it's when they become addictive that there presents a problem, like everything else.

Millions of immigrants in U.S. illegally are issued Social Security numbers — and given money. - The Thinking Conservative

The rationale is that most will likely never receive SS benefits but will contribute $Billions to the SS fund.
The law has not changed since 2019 when this article was written.

Approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the U.S. with no legal authorization to work, yet an estimated 8 million do, both on and off the books. Since undocumented immigrants don’t have Social Security numbers and are not authorized to work legally in the U.S., they are not eligible for any Social Security benefits, whether they’ve paid into the system or not.


How undocumented immigrants pay into Social Security


Payroll tax, the 12 percent tax taken out of salaried workers’ paychecks, split between employer and employee, primarily funds Social Security, accounting for 88 percent of the payouts in 2017. Undocumented workers typically use a fake SSN or someone else’s SSN when applying for salaried jobs. Only a handful of U.S. states require employers to check an employee’s eligibility and their SSN through E-Verify, a Department of Homeland Security database. Other states have varying levels of E-Verify requirements, from partial to none

You do have a computer. Your phone!
I think you're missing the point of what I was trying to say. I like tech. I was comparing smart phones with a regular computer.

Wow. I didn't know that was possible.
