That is a darn good slogan for Power Linkers, because it hits nail on head. When you are marketing anything, of course your best bet is to reach every possible customer for your product with your message, right?

But if you are not a big multi-national corporation with millions of dollars to spend on flashy advertising, what are you going to do?

Well, internet is where little guys have had equal footing with big corporations from beginning. Remember big tech company crash when thousands of over-financed upstart internet companies went way of dodo? Who could forget that, right?

Those guys thought they could dominate on OUR turf if they threw money at problem like they do in offline world of television, radio, magazines, and newspapers. And experiment failed miserably. Only a few companies got through that fiasco, but not without some deep scars.

All while, people like me were watching and learning. And I realized then and there that battle for monster profits on web was going to be waged guerilla fashion.

Low budget, no budget, less money and more creativity involved, better! And that is how Power Linking was born. And that's why Power Linkers are "..everywhere you want to be."

If you put science of linking to use in a massive, systematic way, by studying your potential customers' habits and using this knowledge to be "everywhere they surf," you cannot help but blow your competition out of water.

There are billions of web pages on net. There are fewer super-high traffic places on net, but still a pretty mind-boggling amount. How many of them are you on?

How many sites with over 1 million visitors a month link to your website? Did you even think that was possible until I asked question?

How well do you know your customers and their surfing habits? If you sell horse blankets and many of your potential customers surf #1 horse lovers site online, what can you do to get exposure for your site there?

And if you say "Spend money on advertising" I am going to ask you to re-read what you just read above!

Get it out of your head completely, right now and for good, that you have to have money to make money. That you have to make a huge investment in hard cash to get exposure your site needs. That point could not have been made clearer by tech crash!

And when you don't have money to lose on mistakes already laid out before you on a silver platter, it is a cardinal sin to spend a DIME on advertising!

An article by Francis Frangipane has recently gone into circulation. It is a very balanced and well constructed article. The main purpose was to argue need to put word of Bible before signs and wonders and to see latter in context of former. He made a number of useful points and used some interesting concepts. It was of a quality one would expect from him no more than one would expect from him and it is not my purpose here to criticise this work.

However, there are some points which arise from what he said which do need attention. In pursuing his objective he, inevitably, made comments which were subservient to it and, not being of main concern, were not developed. But some of these do require further consideration.

Extra-biblical Phenomona FP defines manifestations which have no pattern in Bible as extra-biblical. In these he includes quaking of Quakers and rolling of Holy Rollers. He then includes claimed visitations of mother of Jesus at Medjugore (in former Yugoslavia) as belonging to same category. This is surely a slip of thought.

Medjugore Patterns in Bible?>/B> A pattern consists of elements which can be regarded as representative of something and which are repeated in recognisable ways.

In fact, there are several well known instances in Bible which constitute a pattern into which Medjugore fits very well. Visitations of angels abound, but there are other instances: Samuel appeared to Saul, albeit illegally (1 Samuel 28:8 - 20); Jacob had an encounter with a heavenly being (some would say divine) (Genesis 32. 23 - 33); there was a (probably divine) appearance to Joshua (Joshua 5. 13 - 15). Of course, we know of appearance to Jesus himself of Moses and Elijah (Matthew 17. 1 - 8f) and there are many other examples one could quote.

Do these constitute a pattern into which (claimed) appearances at Medjugore fit? Surely they do. The visions at Medjugore are different in only two respects: they concern a female rather than a male figure; and they have been repeated every night without fail over twenty-two years. Otherwise, and these are surely not grounds for exclusion, Medjugore events fit into biblical pattern extremely well.

True, as patterns go, are identical, but many have repetitions which include nonidentical elements. This is evident when we compare such biblical events as mentioned above. All have similarities of one kind or another but none can be said to be identical.

Medjugore, Quakers and Rollers. The events at Medjugore cannot, therefore, properly be compared with extra-biblical charismatic-type events relating to such as Quakers and Rollers. Of course, Francis Frangipane was simply looking for some examples, and unfortunately picked on Medjugore. But, since latter can be seen quite clearly to fit within biblical category, it does demand further attention. Clearly, this kind of categorisation is permissive rather than conclusive of its genuineness: everything that looks like something biblical is not necessarily genuine.

At least because of its influence on very large numbers of people, not to say that God may be reaching to these people through this manifestation, Medjugore phenomenon warrants some further consideration. Divine Or Demonic Origin? FP says I personally do not believe that this was (is?) Mary. He does not say why but, as we have noted, thinks that God may be using it. But that is not really enough. It is either of satanic or of divine origin. One or other. Ought we not to make an assessment of which?

Is there a possibility of satanic origin? That is doubtful when one considers messages, and I have read many of them, which have been coming out of Medjugore since 1981. Jesus once asked “How can Satan drive out Satan?” because a kingdom or house cannot stand if divided against itself. Moreover, he added, very significantly, that, if Satan were to oppose himself, his end would have come (Mark 3. 23 - 26f).
