I'll be back at lunch time. Maybe by then I'll know what the problem is. My photos are uploaded at PhotoBucket but I don't know how to link them to this post. I assume it's through Web (Link). It's my day off and I need to do some housework and gardening.

Hi Orbison,
For me, one of the biggies is that the Org states that Jesus is not the Mediator for the "Great Crowd" (those that don't have the heavenly hope). He is Mediator only for the 144,000. I have a feeling though that most witnesses don't truly realize that.
The bible states:
1 Tim.2:5,6; "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all"
Yet their literature states:
Watchtower 1979 April 1 p.31 "Is Jesus the "mediator" only for anointed Christians?…… So in this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the "mediator" only for anointed Christians.……The "great crowd" of "other sheep" that is forming today is not in that new covenant. However, by their associating with the "little flock" of those yet in that covenant they come under benefits that flow from that new covenant."
Watchtower 1979 November 15 p.27 Benefiting from "One Mediator Between God and Men""They recognize that they are not spiritual Israelites in the new covenant mediated by Jesus Christ, nor part of the "chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation."——1 Pet. 2:9. 24 Yet they do benefit from the operation of the new covenant. They benefit from this just as, in ancient Israel, the "alien resident" benefited from residing in among the Israelites who were in the Law covenant.—Ex. 20:10; Lev. 19:10, 33, 34; Rev. 7:9-15. 25 To keep in relationship with "our Savior, God," the "great crowd" needs to remain united with the remnant of spiritual Israelites."
Watchtower 1989 August 15 pp.30-31 Questions From Readers "Is Jesus the Mediator only for spirit-anointed Christians or for all mankind, since 1 Timothy 2:5, 6 speaks of him as the "mediator" who "gave himself a corresponding ransom for all"? The Bible contains both basic teachings and deep truths, which are solid food for study ……To grasp what Paul is saying, we must first appreciate that the Bible sets out two destinies for faithful humans: (1) perfect life on a restored earthly paradise and (2) life in heaven for Christ’s "little flock," numbering 144,000. Clearly, then, the new covenant is not a loose arrangement open to all mankind. It is a carefully arranged legal provision involving God and anointed Christians.This should help us to understand 1 Timothy 2:5, 6. Here the reference to "mediator" was made after the five other occurrences of the word in letters written earlier. Hence, Timothy would have understood Jesus’ mediatorship to be His legal role connected with the new covenant. ……Consequently, 1 Timothy 2:5, 6 is not using "mediator" in the broad sense common in many languages. It is not saying that Jesus is a mediator between God and all mankind. …… The apostle John referred to these at 1 John 2:2. But he indicated that others too will receive the benefit of Christ’s sacrifice: "He is a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins, yet not for ours only but also for the whole world’s."Those of ‘the whole world’ are all who will gain eternal life in a restored earthly paradise. Millions of such approved servants of God now have that earthly hope. ……"
Hope this helps.

Hi Juni, How did you all post the pictures? I took quite a few photos of flowers from my garden this afternoon and a few turned out rather nice. Thought I'd post them but only know how by using attach files.
Also, does anyone remember one person who posted beautiful photos a while back? I think he was either from England or Scotland.

Congratulations mini. I'm really looking forward to being a grandparent but it looks like it will be a few years before that happens. I'm really happy for you.
Sorry, couldn't delete the first.

I would get my whole family together, brothers, kids, their friends, daughters' boyfriend and parents, sponsered child and her family, okay husband too, all my relatives in the Netherlands who could make it and maybe good friends, give them all a ticket to a tropical paradise, Hawaii, Bali, Greece? Rent out a whole bunch of cottages right on the water. Eat wonderful food, dance, sing, laugh with abandon. Have a professional videotaping it all for future grandkids. Make sure that my kids are financial secure, so I’ll have take our financial adviser along. Buy wedding gifts, at whatever destination we decided on, for kids for when they do marry. Pick out wedding dress with my daughter,who could possible get married in next few years, and hire some great entertainment, Pink Floyd, Michael Buble, Temptations - bring them together so I could dance with my daughter "My Girl" This is getting morbid. I was pretty sick over the weekend and I was thinking these kind of thoughts..what if? Looks like I will be okay but I was scared for a couple of days.
Speaking of icecream, it was the only thing I was craving when I got out of the hospital. Please get me some Breyers double churned, I really don't care what flavour. If I was single though I could think of better things to do than hang out with Angelina unless Brad was there too. But then it would take away from family time.

As a Christian I am totally appalled by this man. There is nothing Christian about him. He's just a hateful man.

loved the close-ups; the baby too richie.
What kind of digital camera do both of you, Juni and Leolaia, use?
I have a Canon EOS 3000. It's about 8 yr old and I hardly use it anymore. Last fall I bought a Sony Cyber-shot. I love it but I wish I had spent more money and bought an even better one, especially for close-ups. The one I'm considering is the Canon Rebel XTi. It's pricey though at around $1,100. This includes the lens. I don't know if the lens of my Canon would fit the Rebel. I would save about $150.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
