Hi all

Newbie here, just wanted to say I have lurked these boards for about 12 months and have read all the amazing support you give by different ways. I live in Manchester UK have done all my life and am proud of that fact, today I am prouder than ever to live here, deeply deeply saddened but proud. My son's friend is missing with no word yet. I just wanted to post and say thank you to each and everyone of you posting and supporting from wherever you are. It's at times like this, knowing that there are people from all over the world praying for us and our loved ones and we are not the only ones affected

Praying for your son coping with this and for his friend and family

I am sick to my stomach over this.
I saw an interesting tweet, lots of attacks on the 22nd.
Lee Rigby - 22-05-2013
Brussels attack - 22-03-16 Munich attack - 22-07-16
London attack- 22-03-17 Manchester attack- 22-05-17

I am heartbroken for the victims and their families.

These and the 22nd Oct Ottawa attack make me wonder whether the 22nd is how ISIS may recognize a lone wolf attack and thus claim "responsibility" after the fact?

You are so very welcome fairy and also welcome to WS. Please tell us when your son's friend and relatives are re-united.

When tragedies happen, I find strength and comfort in looking for the helpers. I heard on the radio that droves of people have been offering food and water to the authorities at the scene and even to the media, free taxi and bus services were provided to get the people away from the area and home safely, local residents even reportedly opened up their homes to people separated from family and afraid. What honorable caring people the helpers turn out to be. They made Manchester proud, I'm certain.

Also, for some security reason, communication services were reportedly blacked out in the arena area in the aftermath. This could explain why groups were held at the hotel without being able to contact family?

Thank you, my son is understandably in bits about this, as are we all. So many questions, they seem to have targeted children as Take That a hugely popular band played there a few nights before and went without incident

The arndale has been evacuated, a man has been arrested, a controlled explosion has taken place in fallowfield (3/4 miles away) and 3 people named so far.

Welcome fairyland! Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your son and his friend as with all of Manchester!

TY skibs. ( she says polishing her badge). Any little thing may help the big picture.

 

[fairyland]

Thank you everyone for your support and love, it's greatly appreciated.

I have never posted before because I didn't feel could add anything, today I can, it's happening everywhere all over the world unfortunately and you just never think or hope you will be affected. That's changed but they will never break us,

Thinking about the dates. I believe there is way too much coincidence about it.
All the dates are the 22nd. And the months/years add up to 18-24.

22-5-13 = 22:18
22-10-14=22:24
22-3-16 = 22:19
22-7-16 = 22:23
22-3-17 = 22:20
22-5-17 = 22:22

The only one missing is 22:21, which would happen on 3/22/18.


The book of Quran 22:18 to 22:24 reads:
These are two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord. But those who disbelieved will have cut out for them garments of fire. Poured upon their heads will be scalding water By which is melted that within their bellies and [their] skins.And for [striking] them are maces of iron. Every time they want to get out of Hellfire from anguish, they will be returned to it, and [it will be said], "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire!"Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearl, and their garments therein will be silk.And they had been guided [in worldly life] to good speech, and they were guided to the path of the Praiseworthy.
Indeed, those who have disbelieved and avert [people] from the way of Allah and [from] al-Masjid al-Haram, which We made for the people - equal are the resident therein and one from outside; and [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein of deviation [in religion] or wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.


I know this number s*** sounds crazy, but it is way too coincidental to me. I wouldn't put it past Isis to use these dates in this way.
I will be staying home March 22nd of next year.

Fairyland, I will be praying on the other side of the pond for you and your son for his friend.

Sry this post is so long. But those numbers got me thinking too much.

Or maybe it's this! Good thinking!

I sincerely hope that Ariana Grande can find the strength to continue her tour and go on to London and that people can attend with extra vigilance, But gosh Ariana is just a young person herself and this can just scar everyone. Many young people will now struggle with PTSD unfortunately.

Just sadness.

I think she has cancelled the tour. You can understand that while her fans are in ICU and relatives awaiting news.

"The only one missing is 22:21, which would happen on 3/22/18."

OR 2/22/19 and 1/22/20. I actually think you might be onto something here.
