F: but consistently wt has still, within the last year used their hackneyed phrase " at the end of the thousand years". which reflects their wishful thinking that after the 7000/1000 years are ended, there will no more mess to be dealt with.

Creative Sabbath would fit perfectly in time to fulfill God’s purpose for humanity: 6000+1000=7000
F: wt still clings to that fixed time frame. They still, in recent writings refused to admit that the final test, destruction in the lake of fire will occur in the post-millennium period.

not kowtowing to the bullish elders enough? nose not enough to the grinding wheel or other brown places?
this will be an entertaining 4 years.. she already declared she wants to shut out oil and gas in an oil town and says she will refuse to swear in a duly elected councillor tomorrow..

dorothy kilgallen was a fearless journalist who broke major stories, and was the only reporter to interview lee harvey oswald's killer, jack ruby.
her biggest case yet -- investigating president john f. kennedy's assassination, and finding fault with the official story -- became the last one she ever pursued.
she died mysteriously in november 1965, after being threatened, but the cops never probed further.. .
Joseph, son of Jacob, the quintessential whistleblower, nearly got himself killed by his brothers. the rest is history. believe it or not.
the last wt magazine on the memorial asserts, that the kingdom covenant was the prime subject of the solemn last supper bread and wine ceremony.
here was the sobering passing of the bread of wine, symbolizing the new covenant, forgiveness of sins for all.

Until one reads Acts 2:38, 39. (Also Jn 1:12; 3:3, 5)
