Good News and the End
by A Paduan ini noticed on another thread about the end, that it was said "the good news will be preached and then the end will come".. well, i reckon it's barely begun, and will be a very, very long time.
so far, there's been a lot of "bad news" preached by 'christians'.
with jws preaching - it's all bad news.. it will be a very long time indeed before the "good news" of the kingdom is preached throughout the world.

filling a vacuum
by Noumenon insince i've faded i've felt at rather a loss for filling the vacuum of personal study.
i've been working on my own bible reading and study schedule.
at the moment i'm reading a chapter a day (not much i know) from romans right thru to revelation, and a story a day from the greatest man book (i really like this publication as i feel it is helping me just focus more on jesus and helps to de-emphasis the closeness to a man-made organisation).

i am hoping, through the use of the wt magazines ony, to prove this statistically.
here's the link:.

e-watchman.com: Stafford's Baby?
by Room 215 injust took a look at e-watchman.com on a referral from a poster here.
whatever one thinks of its agenda, its production values and composition are first-rate.
it bears at least some of the stylistic earmarks of greg stafford.
