    watching the evening news i keep feeling this catch in my throat.....

    iowa city is under water and the water is still rising....
    just 2 weeks ago the hub and i went down to move our
    student daughter back home while she figures out her next move.....

    here is a JW spin.....

    the issue had been: do we make the 1200 mile roundtrip
    before or after my 9 day trip to calgary, meaning we would
    just now be heading south to retreive her

    thankfully, we decided to get her home sooner than later.....
    she is safe and sound and driving us crazy!!!!

    isnt jah a wonderful protector?

    oh, crap... what about the THOUSANDS of people still there
    without homes and goods and DRINKING WATER!?!?!

    d'oh! Im An Idiot

    The end of the world is nothing new. An impending sense of doom, everytime their is a natural disaster, is very natural. I think witnesses think that they have some special knowledge that no one else can understand. It is easily understandable however, and always has been by the masses. Civilizations have come and gone, since recorded history began. What's different now, is that we are livivng in a global world.

    The Mayans predicted the end in 2012. This is not a matter of hocus pocus. The ancients had a great deal of atronomical data which can pinpoint certain epochs in plantary allingment, called processional cycles. As we conclude the age of picses, we enter the age of aquarious and a state of planetary allignment the likes of which occurs, every 12,000 years or so.

    Planetary allingment means disruption of the earths magnetic core, in which case, the earths magnetic core, may actually stop rotating for almost 3 days to one week. This will cause untold destruction of the entire earth. But not to worry, this has all happened before, and will happen over and over again. Every time we reach a peak of knowledge civilization must start over. That is precisely how Atlantis disappeared.

    What we are witnessing now ( no pun intended) is the early stages of this magnetic core disruption. Increase in temperature changes, more earthquakes, and in the end, a complete pole shift, in which all will be destroyed and have to start over again. It is nothing new. Don't worry

    I have looked into Mayan - I too think that everything happening is a natural occurance - its not caused by man and man can not take credit for predicting the end of the world (but i am sure the watchtower will) The ancients had a vast understanding of the natural world and times that we as a world, live in. I personally dont think bad things happen to bad people or good things happen to good people and God saves the good all the time. Lot of people whose homes are under, are really good people even if they are not JW.

    The witlesses have an end of the world explanation for everything. It rains, the end is coming. It doesn't rain, the end is coming.

    This flooding is reminiscent of the flooding they had in New Hampshire a couple of years ago. Anyone living there remembers all the problems they had along the coastal regions of that state, and as far inland as Concord and Laconia. And then the Monadnock region got hit that fall, creating more flooding. And still the world goes on.

    And, anyone remembering 1993 remembers the worse flooding then. And still the world goes on. Thus, the witlesses are wrong again.

    It's pretty sad looking at the pictures of all the destruction. It's going to take a while, but all of it will be rebuilt.

    The real issue is will it happen again next year, or the year after that? Everything there has changed in the last 100-150 years. Riparian woodlands are gone, rivers have been dredged and straightened out., plowed fields replaced lush grasslands. We have no idea what is normal for this new ecosystem.
