4. Have you accurately assessed the current situation? Are impending disasters just about warfare? What’s most obvious to people’s eyes is the emergence of war. Secondly, there’s the epidemic occurring in various countries, fluctuating in severity. Furthermore, the majority of workers in large Chinese cities are unemployed. Don’t be fooled by the official announcement of a 10% unemployment rate; that’s just official talk. In reality, 70% to 80% of people are unemployed. Do you see famine approaching? Isn’t this a disaster? The disasters of war and famine have arrived, followed closely by outbreaks of epidemics with varying degrees of severity. Ultimately, there will be major earthquakes, triggering tsunamis, resulting in countless casualties. Besides major earthquakes, there are extreme weather conditions such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves. Temperatures could rise to sixty degrees Celsius, hot enough to cause death by heat exposure. These are all extreme weather events. Extreme weather conditions have worsened now, and the true end of the world refers to what extreme weather indicates. How did the dinosaurs become extinct in the previous era? They were wiped out by extreme climate events. There were no nuclear wars back then, so the disaster of extreme climate was the greatest. In the future, the disasters caused by extreme climate will be even greater and more severe. Why do those world billionaires want to move to the moon or other planets? They all know that the end of the world on the earth is approaching, and humans won’t be able to survive in the future. So, when　the disasters are getting closer now, the unbelievers have no hope, and they just say, “If the sky falls, we all die; if there’s danger when crossing the river, the short ones are affected first. So what is there to fear?” This is their theory, but can theory solve problems? It’s useless. They say these words just to comfort everyone, but in fact, they have no hope left, and they are just waiting for death.

Do you have life now? Do you possess the truth? No, you don’t. So, look at what time it is now, and how far things have gone with the world—there’s not much time left to perform your duty and pursue the truth. If you can realize this, you will feel a sense of urgency and be able to proactively perform your duty. The various evil spirits among the unbelievers are also saying that time is running out, scientists are saying the same, and so are the wise men among unbelievers, who observe celestial phenomena and who make prophecies. The time for humanity to escape is running out; the great tribulation is about to come. Within the next few years, more and more severe wars, earthquakes, famines, and plagues will erupt, and people will die everywhere. The war has erupted between Russia and Ukraine, and as it escalates, it won’t be just conventional weapons being used anymore, but nuclear weapons are about to be deployed. The outbreak of nuclear warfare is imminent; what are the consequences of nuclear warfare? It’s a massacre of humanity. None of the soldiers on the battlefield will return alive; they will all perish. Therefore, this type of warfare is essentially a genocide, leading to the extinction of humanity. Such disasters are about to arrive. If people cannot see it, are they not blind? Some say, “What’s the use of looking at this? We don’t study international situations; studying this is useless.” What’s the use of knowing this? (Knowing this reveals how far God’s work has progressed, prompting a sense of urgency to pursue truth.) This is well said. It’s based on this situation that people can see how far God’s work has reached, and how far the judgment of the last days has progressed. What does this indicate? It signifies that God’s work is about to conclude, and the door of grace is about to close. What does the closing of the door of grace have to do with us? God’s work is coming to an end, and if you haven’t attained the truth, then you’re finished, and you’ll lose the chance of salvation. Do you think this is significant?

9 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
(MATTHEW26:59-60)

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
(LUKE 23:2)

5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
(ACTS24:5-6)

14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
(ACTS 24:14)

I am often asked if we can really confiscate audio recording devices? This page from our minutes should answer the question completely! We are in this document discussing the seizure of phonograph equipment, and the termination of the license of the Michichigan Phonograph Company, and then bringing about legal action to proceed with license termination.

We spin flat records also, both have 78rpm and can vary 20% faster or slower, to play most recordings, and the Rek-O-Cut CVS even has a specific vertical switch to play Edison or other vertical cut records. We have tube and solid state pre-amps. Our favorite playback cart is the Shure SC35C Moving Magnet cart which was developed by Shure, for the BBC, in the 1970's. I have a 3 mil stylus for playing 78rpm records, and a .7 mil for playing Diamond discs and microgroove records. I have a Harmon Kardon tube pre amp, a Little Bear Tube Pre Amp, a Marantz solid state and a ST solid state pre amp that can be used. Digital recorders include Alesis A-Dat, Marantz XLR-hard disc-CD with Phantom power, 2 channel, Digidesign M-Audio Pro-Tools, Cool Edit Pro, Audacity, Roxio. Analog mixers are the SR24.4-VLZ Pro Mackie, 24 input mixer, the Shure 67 4 channel mixer from the 1970's, and the Altec Lansing 1592 mixer from about 1967 with 4 channels working. We also have an old Dukane P.A. with 2 high quality LowZ tube mic pre amps, designed by Western Electric., that we want to put in the mix, with the option of shutting off the output section, so the two channel tube WE microphone stage can be used.

We are finalizing rough casting to usable blank cylinders.

It seems the collector community, and the various clubs, will not recognize The North American Phonograph Company's existence. I guess we will have to start by taking collectors to court, and make them pay the rental fees on the phonographs with interest, or charge them with theft of property,, as class M phonographs for the most part are not to be purchased but rented. I will have to read over the bylaws a few more times to make sure I have it all memorized. I figure those collector will do the mask mandates, and force people to have Vaccine are " Law Abiding citizens," then they won't mind going to jail for a bit for contract violations.

A short, and to the point video on the spiral core of original blanks, answers all the questions as to the why of it all.
