  In a discussion with my mom, she mentioned that since the Sept 11th there has been a few letter read to her congo. She didn't go into details, and I didn't want to push to hard about what they said. But she mentioned that now the world leaders are starting to cry Peace and Security. Actually scrambling was the word she used.

  I was wondering if any of you heard any of these letters read, and what is your take on them. I would love to see copies if they are any. Kent any info?

  Wow Nytel,
  The light must be very bright where you sit then Seriously though, have there been letters read since Sept 11th? If not about that issue, what were they concerning.

  Mommy:

  What would you expect them to cry? "Let's kill ourselves?"

  If they are reading letters like this they are nuttier than I thought.
  When I turn on the TV or look at the Press or even talk to any one on the street,
  Peace and security are the last things they are talking about or feeling right now.

  The Govs are crying War! Terrorist! and Anthrax!

  I do want to know if they are reading letters like that.

  Actually, when they are talking about it, they are saying 'safety and security'. I only heard one person refer to 'peace and security' and I forget who that was.

  Hey all
  Ianao, my opinion of what world leaders should/should not be saying is not the topic of this thread.

  The reason for me asking this is that I would like to hear from any who are still actively going to the meetings. I know the org has prophesied that the end is here and armegeddon is right around the corner Part of that prophecy was that everyone would be crying peace and security, wasn't it? I just wanted to know if the org is being more definite with the time line now. If they are actually calling this the start of the great tribulation.

  Or if they are even commenting about that in the letters or not..or if there have been several letters read, as my mom told me.Just curious is all

  They can't loose:
  IF THERE'S A WAR it's a sign of the "last days" and

  IF THEY DECLARE PEACE it's a sign of the end

  Let's call this the WAR AND PEACE CATCH 22

  In short, they are obsessed with looking for omens, something condemded in the bible.
