I’m sorry this happened to you and it sounds like you have more faith than me, but it sounds like you may have been targeted if you were doing research on trafficking. I’m happy that everyone is safe, and that you still have your faith in God which is the most important thing of all. I don’t think I could be holding strong like you are right now. God bless you
I'm sorry for your unfortunate "Shit Show". With all due respect : Your no Job.
Don't even go there - as your unfortunate situation doesn't even scratch the surface of what Job was allegedly put through. Go back and read Job. ( tough read. )
I crack up when people make the statement : ( I'm Gonna Find GOD !!! )
Friend - I think "GOD found You" !!! Hence - "the statement ; put the "Fear Of GOD" in you. Now ya know.
Lupinate is a recent widower. As a widow myself (though it is has been several years for me now) I can tell you that there is a definite period of time where you feel like you are Job when you are freshly widowed and carrying that burden of what now feels like a very long life looming before you without your mate. Same is true when you lose a child I expect. Same is true when any number of similar or entirely other unfortunate circumstances pile on and make you feel like your faith is being tested for some reason you can't understand.
Obviously he isn't actually Job and maybe he has only endured so far a 10th of what Job endured, I don't know. The fact that you wanted to point out how he hasn't suffered enough to qualify for Job comparison (as though you even know the extent or could in any way quantify another human's experience with suffering) is pretty arrogant and... well... awful. I think the churchy types would say "it's not a very pastoral approach." Others might say if you don't have anything nice to say....
Sorry Lupinate, for another tough blow of losing some precious treasures from your marriage as well as your peace of mind about your personal safety in your home. I sure hope things start getting better for you soon. Probably a gun will serve you better than a sword so even if it's hard to get, if it is possible, I'd acquire a firearm train in how to use it so you're prepared in future.
To all you offputting churchy Bible snobs who I would never deliberately be associated with if I met you face to face - I've read the book of Job. More than once.
Pretty sure Lupinate has too or he wouldn't have mentioned it here.
So sorry, Lupinate. I thank God that you, your friend and the tiny toddler are all okay. Actually, I hope you and your friend keep an eye on the wee one as she may have been traumatized more than you realize.
As you said, things are just things. Perhaps the police will be able to get some or all of them back for you. Can you check with pawn shops and places like that for the ring and jewelry? Sounds like you've made a good security plan for the future. I've said a prayer for you.
Bottom line, you know what's truly valuable, so you are a wealthy man.
Wow. I’m really sorry to hear that, but glad to see you’re handling it well. If you can get a crossbow instead of (or at least in addition to) a sword I’d go with that.
Also just curious if neighbors have seen anything suspicious or experienced anything similar in the area?
If you were able to remotely brick your phone then you would know its location and because if the oogic if that I can tell this whole post is bullshit.
I had location tracking off. My number and the imei were blocked by the provider. Provider said they can't track it, which I consider to be bullshit but still.
I couldn't care less what you believe. Do you work for a telco in the UK? Doubtful.
Here's the imei numbers, see if you can find them: 866241042416076 and 352526102023999
All the providers do is blacklist these for use. First thing I asked them was "can't you track them, and got a flat no. The police have potentially options (just got off the phone with them now), but the provider said they can't/won't be able to.
First mistake was letting your friend just blindly answer the door. If someone knocks at my door and I didn't plan for anyone to come over I check outside to see who it' is and I'm hyper aware, took me ages to break my 7 year old from just opening the door. I would get cameras for your house so next time you get a random knock at the door take a peak. This could give you crucial moments if indeed that person decides to kick that door down. We live in crazy times now, paranoia is justified.
I’m sorry this happened to you and your friend- what a terrifying experience! Obviously God isn’t finished with you yet - cause here you are! I enjoy your posts about the trafficking- I pray for these people & children almost daily and your posts are my answered prayers. I pray all things be restored to you so that you may continue this endeavor and keep shining the light on this subject. 🙏🏼

Yep, and I also know how that story ends, and how Job's life through his successful trials against Satan winds up better off in his later life.
I am really sorry this happened to you and your friend. Your strength and faith is very inspiring, thank you for posting this. Sending hugs and love.
Shame you guys can't have firearms in the UK to fight back with. Everyone deserves and equalizer
stay safe and stay stong anon! you are good and clearly a threat to evil. thank you for your time and energy.
So... You didn't defend yourself?
Folks need to read this post and think long and hard about the coming hot civil war if we don't start fighting now.
If people can't fight off a robbery, they're not going to handle comhbat.
If I was alone, sure. A woman and a child were being kept between me and the attacker at all times. He was sloppy but clever.
So sorry, Lupinate. I thank God that you, your friend and the tiny toddler are all okay. Actually, I hope you and your friend keep an eye on the wee one as she may have been traumatized more than you realize.

Praying for you!

if they can send instructions to brick it, they can triangulate the location.
I know, right? Sodding annoying the fact they won't.
I don’t believe you.
I couldn't care less what you believe. Do you work for a telco in the UK? Doubtful.

Grateful you and your friend are safe at least. The battle continues.
He tests those whom he loves. Prayers that your faith remains unwavering.

Yeah I know, that was an own goal on my security measures. The lack of good cameras as well was a massive self own, which I intend to resolve ASAP
I’m sorry for your losses. Your are a strong person
That's terrible! I'll be praying for you!
Thank God everyone is safe. You are right, objects are only objects. If you don’t have your life and health, you have nothing.
I like reading JOB in the midst of my personal pity parties.
Ecclesiastes will do the same for less extreme depression.

Which part of the UK do you live in?
