i find most of the emails sent to "warn" us are not entirely true. they get so blown out of porportion and sensationalized that it's not true anymore, reguardless of the roots. one thing i like about checking it out on those sites, they will tell you where it originated if it has any ligitamacy to it at all.
i recall someone else using half truths and twisting the truth to deceive ppl.
i'm not saying we shouldn't be informed or watch for the signs of the times, but i don't see a need to sensationalize and try to scare ppl. i just don't pass around email warnings without some research or proof. i trust the prophets to warn when it's vital.
