Latte, Carl Sagan put it very eloquently and nicely as to why the R&F don't get it:
"It is astonishing in the face of such transparent evasions that this religion has any adherents at all. But religions are tough. Either they make no contentions which are subject to disproof or they quickly redesign doctrine after disproof. The fact that religions can be so shamelessly dishonest, so contemptuous of the intelligence of their adherents, and still flourish does not speak very well for the tough-mindedness of the believers. But it does indicate, if a demonstration were needed, that near the core of the religious experience is something remarkably resistant to rational inquiry."

Release of a new Book -- Update on the Ezekiel book - that is my hot tip
Oh good. Another round of typical, antitypical, third and fourth typical fulfillments of fullfillments of prophecy. Oh wait - how can they get done without the great oracle. Maybe they will just make stuff up? Oh dear, that is not a new idea for them! Jeff [of the giddy in anticipation class]

I had a feeling they might get into Ezekiel. It's been years since a publication that has tried to explain it. I can hardly wait to see all the new lame pictures that show world chaos and anarcy in the time of the end.
