its controvertable, so sell your house and stock options and give them to me so you might spend moer time warning others of our loving god's plans to annihilate them on 2031. here you go: .

perhaps they will have new lite soon that the symbolic forty years and forty days in the wildernes was symbollic of 40,400 days because to god a thousand years is like a day so a week is like, therefore which is 110 years after 1914 is sometime in 2024 that they will no longer accept any new annointed claims.

40*365=14600+40=14640days of drinking and being merry (last hurrah for newly annointed ones): .

does anyone know if the wts puts insurance on their presses?

i mean.. this is entirely theoretical mind you, but suppose someone, i dont know, on the bethel tour accidentally dropped a wrench (spanner for you limeys) into a press or two, or maybe just a 50 foot length of hardened steel chain they happened to have with them in their backpack for no particular reason, into a fully running press, i mean that might cause problems and i would hate for something like that to happen.

but that equipment is not cheap.

no, this isnt a metaphorical note.

i was reading up on samaritans and it turns out there are still real samaritans living to this day.

its interesting in that the follow the torah only, and so are very much like one would imagine primative yahwism to have been like.

this hall i speak of is in a small city in northeast tennessee called kingsport.

i don't live there anymore, but its interesting.

their first hall (that i am aware of), was a second floor shop in the old downtown area (which, like so many other downtown areas in little cities in america, is dying).

it was monday at the temple.

our sangha (buddhist community) meets usually on mondays at the local monastary.

it's not a pagoda or anytihng, it's actually an old farm house which has been well maintained.
