      GUYS PRAY FOR SAM AND COLBY THEY BEEN DECEIVED BY DEMONS AND ARE IN DANGER THEY ARE RUclipsRS❤
      God wouldnt allow souls to be trapped on earth, its umbilical and never happened all souls belong to God, so you cant sell your soul to the devil❤
      And not everyone is a child of God jesus said it himself youre of your father the devil and your desires are to do his will true children of God are the ones who have been born again spiritually and repented from sin❤
      So many people say they love God, but most of them never repented from sin and have a personal relationship with him, and love isnt just a feeling love is doing❤
      Familiar spirits are demons
      well if I'm wrong I wasted nothing because I got peace and joy from him, but if you're wrong you wasted your entire life!! ❤️🎉 And demons love when people believe that lie that God doesn't exist and they love it when people don't know they are there ❤I copy n paste this everywhere❤
      And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤
      Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
      Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
      People: okay please stay this is your place❤
      Demon: okay
      People: **leaves**
      Demon: **Goes with them anyway**
      Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
      Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
      Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
      Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
      Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
      God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤
      To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

      Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN!
      Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior!
      God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤

    There are two Freed factories in the UK, one in London and one here in Leicestershire. My best friend works at the one here in Leicestershire, she makes the uppers for the Classics and the Studios before they go to the makers. She takes pride in her work and doesn't tolerate any mistakes in her work either! I don't dance anymore, haven't for years since I was a teenager but I still do some exercises at my "barre" (i.e. bedroom dresser) and my best friend had a pair of pointes made for me at her factory for me to practice in at home. 😊 I get to hear all about what goes on in the factory and it really is interesting!

    🥰 Oh Josephine, I share your love of factories. Many people I graduated with asked why I ended up working in a lot of factory work. Factory work is SO SATISFYING! I too enjoyed this episode! Craftsmen are highly UNDERrated! So much love to them. My first job out of high school was with Danskin in the late 70s and they were still in their height of their production.

      I agree! When I was much younger in my late late teens or very early twenties I used to work at the Philips Magnavox factory in tennessee. I really miss that job! I'm aging myself, but I used to work there when they were still making those really big projector TVs and I used to put together the computer boards and then wire them up and then put them in the back of the TVs before sending it down the line. I also used to work on a different part where I used to solder certain pieces onto the computer boards. I really really enjoyed that job! I wish we had one where I live now.

      @meiraloraduncan8953 Месяц назад +4

      I wonder what they would think if they watched how the various dancers prepare their pointe shoes before breaking them in during class, rehearsal and then the actual ballet performance. I imagine it would be pretty hard for some of them. Many years old I made a veil for a friend's wedding. It was my gift to her. We had talked about the color, length, style, beading, flowers, and how to attach it on the day. She told me she wanted a candlelight white with matching flowers and pearls. It was to have a blushed that went over her face. She loved it when I gave it to her and kept thanking me. On the day of the wedding I was shocked to see that cheap tiny pink ribbon roses had been added to the original roses I had created. I would have gladly have included some pink roses that were made of the same silk I had used. Part of me didn't want anyone to think that I had made or added the cheap ugly flowers to the veil. I didn't say anything, but it did kinda hurt because I had spent hours gathering the materials, making the flowers, and handmade everything just like she requested.

    • @calliehagood

      ​@nicoleleung3518 I actually wouldn't be that surprised. Crown maker seems like he'd rather have a pint with the fellas at the pub instead of watch a ballet. Most blue collar men don't aspire to watch ballet. But I think that that would enjoy it even if for no other reason then l than they could see first hand how their shoe is used and watch them in action.
      *This comment is in no way meant to be degrading to pointe shoe makers and is a stereotype and generalization based on personal experience and observation.

      @storybookmusic Месяц назад +2

      ​@meiraloraduncan8953 I see where you're coming from, but I don't think it's the same thing. Pointe shoe makers likely know how their shoes are customized by ballet dancers because no pointe shoe is ever going to perfectly fit every dancer. Also, dancers aren't tearing apart pointe shoes because they're ungrateful or unappreciative, its simply necessary for them to do so.

    So, since they have to turn it after gluing the box, they have to work fast enough to turn it around before the glue dries or the box would be solid inside out? I've seen someone making leather normal shoes and turning them, but the idea of turning this cardboard and glue creation inside out fast enough that you can still turn it is just crazy.

    I wear Energetik/RP Bravas, two different widths 🙄. But because of the shoe size discrepancy I am considering Act pointes. The elastic skin would sort many of my spillage/swelling issues, and being able to adjust the metatarsal area would be such a blessing, because my feet change size dramatically (two nights ago I could have fit a whole extra foot in my left shoe, but a week ago I could barely get it on). Hormones and weather changes make pointe life very challenging!

      I have this problem with my left foot. I have an old ankle injury and tendonitis that comes back from time to time. It's permanently swollen around the heel and ankle but will swell even larger from use, weather, a long day on my feet. Most days I wear one size but there are days I could wear two sizes up on that foot. It is really frustrating.

    I do adult ballet classes and bought a pair of GM a while ago, but the fitters aren’t great, so it was totally the wrong shank and I can’t wear it, it is awful to dance in (for my level, with the hardest shank). That satin is also a pain to sew ribbons and elastic because it is so stiff compared to others. I eventually bought other pointe shoes (grishkos) a few weeks ago, the gaynors are almost double the price to buy again. Maybe sometime in the future with different fitters. Love your videos!

      I had a similar experience with GM : went to their appointed fitter, who was so late arriving she had a huge queue waiting. She did me a fitting, paying extra for vegan materials and I could never wear them, the width was completely off. Last time I bothered with them (I am a much older dancer, so the fitter probably thought I was a waste of her time).

      Yes, actually. But I still think single use cheap random chinese products are much more harmful than shoes dancers need to dance. Not that many professionals in the world actually. And chinese products being mostly trash from the beginning are the real problem, a huge problem, most people keep buying it ("I can have it, it is cheap, just a dollar, in worst case I'll throw it away) not a tiny percentage being balllerinas who can't perform without shoes. Just saying. It is all about numbers. I think environment would be ok with pointe shoes for ballerinas, because they make an almost invisible difference compared to all the trash being produced for literally no real reason.

      ​@@kfranco129 you mean like they get stuck with overstock in weird sizes? i'm sure it happens, they even produce custom shoes that never get used. on the other hand pointe shoes have a short life span and it's good that they accommodate the dancers with outlier sizes - otherwise they couldn't dance. it's hard enough to find well-fitting pointe shoes in a size 5.5, let alone for very large sizes or very narrow sizes. i think many of these overstaocked shoes will eventually find dancers feet.
