to describe something as 'evident', no 'evidence' is needed, evidently!!!
In 1975 a crack team of publishers was sentenced to death by a judicial commiteee. They promptly escaped from the cult and now live life on the run. If you have a problem ... and if you can find them ... maybe you can contact the A--postate Team"
Oh, what about C.E. and B.C.E. instead of A.D. and B.C.?
It's funny someone should mention this. The FIRST time I had EVER heard these terms were from their lit (yes, I've been a hermit for quite some time now).
I had even gotten into a discussion with these true christians about how "society" (not to be confused with the society) try to take Christ's name out of everything. And how now the term "B.C.E" is used instead of "B.C."
The sister obviously (seriously) didn't know that people had even used B.C. as meaning Before Christ. I had to show it to her in the dictionary. I can't remember what she thought it was an acronym for.
I have since read the terms B.C.E. and C.E. in others things but honestly the first time (which is odd especially considering the above conversation) I had ever seen these was in (I think) the Knowledge that Leads to Everlasting Life book.
God's true organization...using the method of removing Christ's name from the timeline...hmmm, makes one wonder.
