And another 20 to go....LOL...just as in Noah's days.....preaching to a generation facing judgement is 120 years.
We still got a long way to go...
"new light!
(looking for opinions on this line of reasoning)
the basis for doing away with the 1914 doctrine may have been laid in this new book.

todays edition of the times (13/07/05) carries the following on page 42;.
the vatican, which is thought to own more than 1,000 flats in rome, is home to one of the worlds largest libraries, with 75,000 manuscripts and 1.1 million books.
the library, established by pope nicholas v in 1448, contains the codex vaticanus, the oldest known manuscript of the bible.. .
It is open to qualified researchers and scholars who can provide documentation of their qualifications
This might be difficult, especially the scholars part

There is no doubt in my mind that this is the direction they will be forced to take. The use of the 607 / 1914 / 1994 was put into place by people who wished to speed up the coming of the kingdom and they were wrong, it is obvious now since 1994 has come and gone.
Going along with common historical and scientific understanding would have saved them a lot of grief. Using the 587 date along with their dating system of 2520 years we'd get the dates 587 / 1934 / 2014. We'd still be 9 years away from the end of this generation.
Why they tip toe around the issue is beyond me?
an old witness friend of mine had a serious drinking problem and went to an elder in his hall for some help.
the elder tried to console him and told him that he could understand what he was going through.
he said "i have an addiction too you know - chocolate cake.
addiction to chocolate....funny...I wonder if he seeked help from other elders or he just kept it secret and managed on his own to rid himself of such an awful addiction......through prayer of course.
Actually the man should sit in the back of the KH and shut up, he hasn't got a clue.
yesterday was a bad day for billy graham's daughter.
she was caught choking her husband in a kmart parking lot.
what was she thinking?
Sounds more like she just found out he was having an affair with the church secretary...wouldn't be the first time that happens....lol
again we have been witnessing a hideous, horrible act of terrorism where cowards and maniacs have blown up innocent people.
it is thoroughly distressing and revolting.
being a bit cynical about it this it is in all probability a payback to britain for blairs staunch support to george bush.
I think we are giving this terrorism thing way too much importance. I agree it's pretty pathetic for anyone to blow themselves up with other people but if you look at it as a numbers game we'd realize that terrorists don't manage to kill that many people compared to other causes of death.
We could have saved many of the 200,000 tsunami victims if we had spent more on tsunami detection systems. Same thing with earthquakes. Drugs, car accidents, cigarettes, cancer, ect...all those kill more people in a year than terrorists do, even when you take them individually.
I'm not saying we shouldn't try to stop terrorism, or try to disrupt their activities with proper intelligence, of course we should, but a least put it in proper perspective.
Governments make it sound like there is a magical solution to it, as if one morning we'll wake up and terrorism won't exist no more. It won't happen. So the phrase.."go on with your life" really is the thing to do. Why fear terrorism? The chances of someone dying from a terrorist attack is very minimal. I'd fear terrorism just as much as hopping in my car for a sunday drive.
Because of it, we are all pointing fingers at each other, creating religious wars and animosity, increasing the chances of terror acts happening even more. You did it to us so here's my retaliation, spending billions in the process.
Were giving these jerks way too much press.
dear mr. grocery store owner, .
in an ongoing effort to maintain a somewhat mutually beneficial relationship, i will agree to return shopping carts to their proper place, on the agreement that you will satisfy two of these requests: .
1. air condition the parking lot.
(she will think im tight if I dont... but ... theres a poster saying its policy not to tip...but...it really is tight to fall back on the old 'poster' excuse...but...I didnt want her to pack my frickin bag anyway...but...she looks like she could do with the buck ... ...GODHELPMEIDONTKNOWWHATTODO!)
LOL.....
Pretty much how I feel....especially...I didnt want her to pack my frickin bag anyway.
If I tell them I can handle taking the stuff to the car they ask..."are you sure". You almost have to fight them off at times.
this was recently published in an american newspaper.
they think the australian granny is a hero.
hot off the press from australia.
Exactly the kind of balls (no pun intended...LOL) I wish I'll have if something like that comes around my way. She made sure it was them....good job granny....LOL.
Leave it to the justice system?
They'll put this woman in jail and the rapists will go free. She'll probably get sued by the rapists for damages.
i see some of you have been hurt or feel mislead with the organization.
even if you dont like the organization and choose not to be apart of it, i can see where you come from.
what i dont understand is why some of you take out your frustrations on god.
God will let his people know what is going on like he always does.
Just make sure you know who god is talking to. Personally, I prefer to wait till I hear voices myself, in the meantime I believe to be on my own as far as understanding goes.
oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,.
what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?.
whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight;.
I have to admit and I agree, capitalistic nations are the best to live in. I certainly wouldn't want to be starving in Africa or live under some idiot tyrant...with my mouth I'd be dead. But I certainly won't bow down to a nation and it's leaders / politicians simply because they say I should. The western world hasn't made miracles yet so as to get my devotion, propaganda does exist and they use it to make themselves look better than what they really are.
In the western world, freedom is only that you get a better position as a slave than the rest of the world. But we still remain slaves, financial slaves in my opinion, you have to buy their products, sometimes it is law to buy their products.
