"Thanks.  Now hand me a cigarette, that bottle of Jack Daniels and some cotton candy".

Thumbs up for this quote alone!!!!

By 1973, my guess is that probably 90% of the world was without the True Mass for *at least* a year - but not one single word about it from Akita. Also not one word about the Council, the new "mass", heretical teachings , heretical hierarchy, heretical priests and so on. Repeating the message of Fatima does not make any sense because between 1965 and 1973, the Church was taken over by her enemies, yet not one word about any of that.

Akita tells us to repent and better ourselves - whatever that means. Are we supposed to go to a NO priest who hears confession in a sports shirt and blue jeans face to face to repent? - only to be told by the NO priest that we have no need of repentance? Or do we repent and better ourselves like the prots and go directly to God?

In short, as far as Akita is concerned, by all accounts the conciliar church is the Catholic Church - which is enough for me to reject Akita as a fraud.

You are being deliberately obtuse. Not locution or apparition ever addressed every ill in the Church from apostasy to ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity to heresy to blasphemy to the bad council to bad popes and idolatry and every single other thing that somebody could conceivably dangle from their hand and say "See, this was never mentioned, so the locution or apparition must be bogus." What idiocy!
"Church-approved" apparitions, even prior to 1958, have never been considered de fide. But if Our Lady is trying to tell us something, it would be a good idea to not reject it out of hand because of sloppy reasoning.

Honestly, I pray more than some people and try not to sin, though I do not fast enough, but sometimes I try. But for some reason I do not believe in Akita. I will not go out of my way to oppose it or try to argue people against believing in it, but I will believe it when I see the first balls of fire falling from the sky.

Thank God for Saintly Sister Agnes Sasagawa, probably one of the holiest souls today.

Whoa now, Xavier.  I thought +Fellay was the holiest person of our times, because he walked down a church aisle with an injured foot?

So you're the moron that's been downvoting every post of mine.
Maybe you need to learn what a straw man argument is before you start flinging the term around. You're just embarrassing yourself.

Says the guy who doesn't know the meaning of strawman argument, and doesn't realize he's illogically using it to argue. You just embarrassed yourself (again).

And how can I downvote your comment when I'm unable to vote due to being a new member? You just embarrassed yourself a third time. Have a good night, Mr. Strawman. 

She is 88.  Is it not possible she is senile?  Plenty of people are losing their marbles at that age.

Since we don't get any useful information and what we get comes through an anonymous nun how are we any better off for this new titbit of div8be revelation?  Fire will still fall from the sky and wipe out the greater part of humanity and the survivors will envy the dead.

I am saying the Rosary anyway, have been for years.  Cover myself with ashes?  Highly impractical since I have a full time job.

Are we supposed to wear these ashes daily, weekly till the end of the year?   How many pounds of ashes do I need to order from eBay?  What if I run out?  Will ashes created by the fireballs suffice?

Why am I even trying to survive this?  I'd rather pity the living.  There's no moral duty to avoid the fireballs, and no information telling one how to dodge them.  So why go out of my way to do that if I end up envying the dead?  Dying is the best option.

Seems obvious that Akita has more than enough red flags to be suspicious of the whole thing. Not sure why some people are eager to completely disregard them.

Can an apparition message like Akita ever be falsified?

There is no date attached.  The nun Sister Sasagawa who made the claim 46 years ago did not say she needed to be alive when the event happened.

If God punishes the world in another way, say a virus, or the greater part of humanity are not killed, assume 100 million die or the Church slowly recovers over the next 150 years, then can we say Akita was false?  Or can it be dug up again in the year 2456 when Pope John Paul XI is fighting Cardinal Wong and the all sorts of abominations we know today return plus human animal clones?

If it cannot be reused why not?  What expires it or exposes it as false?

Prophecies are very pliable if they don't suggest dates and times.  The prophet never has to face the music in this life.
