Re: SIGN OF END TIMES - CORNINGWARE

Hello Sisters,

I come with you with a dire warning that I was just made aware of in my Kitchen.

CORNING WARE IS NO LONGER CORNING WARE

No it seems that the Godly American Company sold off it's Kitchenware products in 1998 (yeah, I just found out). Now the great kitchen names of Corningware, EKCO and Pyrex are cheap knockoffs. How did I find this out? Well the boy's broke one of my Pyrex pie plates, so I went and bought one at Wallmart. I baked a pie, took it out of the oven and put it on the counter to cool and it cracked in half. Perfectly in half!

So wondering what was going online, I went to Cornings website in order to complain and get a replacement because Corning has always had a life time guarantee. WELL NOT ANYMORE!

Now the names I mentioned above are cheap Chinese knock-offs made in China for World Kitchen. Fortunately I have found that there is a small group of dedicated lovers of old Corning products, so Seth ordered some through E-bay. Thank the Lord that I can still find the old stuff.

HOW THIS IS PROOF OF END TIMES.

I brefely looked through this list of end times signs, and the following scriptures spoke to me when I read them.

Matthew 24:11 "And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many."
Well they may not be "false prophets" but they are definitely misleading many. How dare they make this crap and market it under a name that has been a kitchen staple for a hundred years.

Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes."
The Chinese are rising against us by killing us with our cheap products! I am not going to have a happy husband with either a store bought pie or no pie at all tonight. Also, could being pieless be classified as a form of famine? And hubby's anger a form of an earthquake?


Matthew 24:8-9 "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of my name."
Well by not having a pie available tonight, I have been delivered into tribulation. I doubt this situation would kill me, but what if there is lead in these new products? I'm pretty sure the Chinks are adding lead into everything they send over in order to poison us.

2 Timothy 3:1-5,7 "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
Well the lover of money fits here. The Chinese would rather make cheap products that we need to replace regularly rather than something that could last for years. My sister still has my mothers Corning ware that she bought in 1957. Is it a sin to covet your Sisters bakeware? Being older she got all of the kitchen stuff. We also know that the Chinese are not lovers of God and are into all sorts of sick twisted perversions.

1 Timothy 4:1-3 "But the spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. By means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth."
Well if you take this in line with Titus 2:3-5 women have fallen away from the faith by following the deceitful spirits and doctrines of feminism. Otherwise there would have been a great outcry about the cheapening of Corning products.

Of course there are other things that point to this being the end times, but to see it in your own kitchen is incredibly disturbing.


HOW TO TELL THE GOOD CORNING PRODUCTS

Vision Cookware - The new corporation does not make Vision Cookware, so buying this used is safe.

3 Blue Cornflowers on white - This pattern was discontinued in the 1980's so if you have this, it is the good stuff.

Gift sets - These are incredibly rare, if you have them you are lucky and hold on to your gifts.

Made in France by ARC - I know, I know, I hate anything made in France as well, but if you want new. This is the only quality stuff Corning carries.

MADE IN USA/ENGLAND/CANADA - Before the bankruptcy Corning was made in Corning NY. Pyrex could have been made in any of the three countries.


WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

Simply Lite - This is cheap Chinese stuff! It cannot go on the stove top like real Corning ware can.

Ridges molded into the bottom - These are the cheap products, avoid them.

MADE IN CHINA - obvious reason.


I hope you other women find this useful, thank you.

Did you read this, self explanatory don't you think?

AHAH this is so freakin funny this has got to be the best website I've found in a long time!!

Thanks for the hearty laugh.

I realize that as a women I'm prone to hysteria so better for me to get it out here than to displease my husband with one of my hysterical episodes dont you think?!

I believe you should. I supplied Biblical evidence supporting my claim. The pastors are in agreement with me (although slightly worried about my obsession with cookware) my husband is in agreement and has no problem with me buying older cookware from estate sales and such.

If the pastors and my husband say I'm right, then you have no right to laugh at me.

Oh Sister, you were truly taking your family's LIFE in your hands by buying that new stuff! The olde ways are always the best.

I am so glad no one was hurt.

Listen, the Widow Sarah on Gateshead Road has a huge stockpile of the old patterns. Collecting it all was practically her life. There's so much of it it's practically breaking the shelves of her display cabinets, and has obviously become unsafe.

She's fading fast, now, poor thing, but I know it delights her to see someone else appreciating her collecion, and taste. She can't talk these days, but her eyes just light up when she sees me itemizing and labeling it all, and consulting all her old collectors magazine indexes.

She mostly has "Strawberry" and "Spice O' Life". (I took the "Snowflake" pieces.) Also a lot of the classic "Cornflower", but that must have been her everyday set, because it's pretty worn. I think it's best to leave her with those. Older people appreciate being surrounded with the familiar.

I doubt she's left the house in about 20 years, so there's no chance any of these are the fewfangled, "cheapie" version. Just let me know what you want and I'll box it up.

Sarah would want it this way.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS: I just found more "Cornflower" in the spare bedroom. Do you want it?

[BelieverInGod]

Re: SIGN OF END TIMES - CORNINGWARE

THANK YOU SISTER!

Yes, when can we meet to discuss this? I love both the Strawberry and the Spice of Life patterns. Tell Widow Sarah that I am very willing to give it a good home. I'm sure she would want it to go to someone who appreciates good cookware, as opposed to being used by some school kid or something.

I will take whatever she is willing to part with. What I can't use right away, I can always store.

Re: SIGN OF END TIMES - CORNINGWARE

Great. Her son and his wife from Omaha are on speed dial with the neighbors for when she goes, so I think it would be best to have all this stuff cleared out before they get here. We don't want them to be burdened with having to sort through it all.

Come over with me tomorrow. She always seems to nod off after lunch, so 1:00 should be good. Bring the truck, but park it out back.

I think I'll bring Seth's Caravan instead, if she's napping the diesel engine might disturb her, and I wouldn't want that.

Sisters, before taking any action, please make sure you have proper documentation establishing clear title to whatever comes into your possession.

At such time that someone disputes your paper trail, this question may well come to my attention in open court.

Sans doumentri congnito said goods might well end up in permanent evidentiary custody in my court. The items will, of course, be carefully tended and kept sparkling clearn after each use.

Brother Tanner: Perhaps you are not familiar with the traditions of caring for the elderly, which usually falls to the hands of we womenfolk. It is rather surprising that you should begin to show an interest in women's work.

As I said, the vast display shelves of Corning Ware at Sister Sarah's have become bulging and dangerous. If one of them broke, the crash could well send the poor soul over the edge. It is important that the elderly be kept quiet and undisturbed in their end days. As such, we must "shock proof" the home.

That is also why I asked Siser BIG to park her car at the back of the house. I do not want the dear, addled Widow Sarah to look out her bedroom window to the driveway and be confused by an unknown car.

May I inquire as to what you are doing in the women's prayer shack?

Sister BIG: I'll see you later.

Brother Tanner......

(Brother) Judge HTannor, if you please.

Any pleadings using incorrect spelling, State v Whatsisname, 1982, 1st District, took dim view of the lack of common courtesty, comisarium dejavousous, and the poor slacker endured maximus hardtimus for the slight.

Re: SIGN OF END TIMES - CORNINGWARE

Listen, Brother Tan, if you want to start getting casseroles and pies dropped off at your trailer by Sister BIG and myself, we'll need extra cookware to prepare them in.

Do you really want to pursue this line of inquest?

I often share dishes with Roger, the paraplegic. Will some of the recipes be condusive to sipping through a straw? If so, great.

If not, Roger's been on a diet of late and can skip a meal or two.



Will there be lots of cheese, pasta, and bacon bits in the mix? Dolly and Dotty really like bacon bits. I, myself, prefer the real product, but I'm flexible. (But please go light on the Cheese Whiz.)

Brother Judge Tannor, the only documentation that comes with Corningware is the receipt from the store you bought it from. I'm a little confused, it's not like a house or a vehicle where there is a title to something. I'm sure that the Good Widow has long disposed of the receipts for the said Corningware, so I doubt she could provide them anyway.

I also never use bacon bits or cheeze wiz in my cooking.

Are Dolly and Dotty your cats?

(But please go light on the Cheese Whiz.)

Don't worry, Brother. Any recipes calling for cheese will use real cheese.

Here's the deal (and I think Sister BIG will agree): You will be adopted into the new Landover Ladies' Labors of Love program, which entitles you to one (1) casserole OR (not and/or) pie per week. We will not take requests, but will make for you whatever we're whipping up in our own kitchens, as it occurs to us during the week. We'll just double the recipe, and that's it. Items may occassionally arrive frozen.

In exchange, of course, you will kindly stop this ridiculous fuss you're putting up about the shock-proofing of poor, feeble Widow Sarah's home.

This offer is non-negotiable.

Are you onboard?

(PS: We'll also throw in a thermos of chocolate milk for Roger.) (PPS: And one scratch on a piece of our new Corning Ware and the deal's off.)

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Re: SIGN OF END TIMES - CORNINGWARE

How would a bachelor like myself get in on such a program?
