    Ooh yes, Eman. Did I tell you the drop we're drinking? "Annie's Lane"

    Shock! Horror! It's not a shiraz!!!! It's a merlot.

    Here's the details:

    ANNIES LANE CABERNET MERLOT 01
    Clare Valley. The deep, dark colour is showing youthful, vibrant hues. The bouquet has great perfume, lift and concentration with dark berries, violets and spice . The rich palate displays intense sweet blackberry/mulberry fruits, balanced with integrated oak and finely textured tannins in a long, complex finish.

    Merlot's not so bad, really. Bit thin, but OK.

    Cheers, Ozzie

    They therefore rode the beast in secret for 10 BLC years from 1992Nisan to 2002Nisan, these then are the 10 horns on the beast (in this symbolism).

    .... 'nuff said.

    FANTASTIC SITE!!! When I accepted (foolishly) a study when I was 20-ish (1990-ish) I insisted it be in the 1960's ('50s?) Daniel book - the green covered book!! It was great!!!

    Reading about the grand changes in national affairs in advance* was just electrifying!! So much better than worrying about Service hours or placing mags or listening to silly talks about Jesus or God or stuff like that...

    But this site is so cool!!! It's just so fantastic!!! Great stuff!!! So we can now all puzzle over who will be the next five UNSC members?? Only weeks to wait for the next installment. The US is going to pick them (the UK picked the first 5 we're told), so... we're told it's Japan, Gemany and a developing nation from each of Africa, Asia and Latin America... Phew...

    I mean, it's so off the wall that you can't take it seriosly (maybe...), but it's like the greatest political thriller novel ever writ! So much better coz the plot keeps on changing with every real world event. It's like a serial that keeps on coming. It's just pure fantasy with just enough reality by way of historical references to grab the mind as a trivial distraction

    (I actually got a brand new copy of the old Daniel book in the mid-1990's from bethel in Sydney. I found the place spooky, but loved getting the book to let me keep my original with the falling off front cover on the shelf!)

    Oh well... nostalgia...

    * 'Advance' being code for fiction of course

    Yes.it's a fascinating site. The Independant article was most intriguing too. I noticed that special thanks went to the UK Guardian and Times, also to the USA Today and Brooklyn Spectator!

    Looks like the "Mother" has spawned some new cults.

    A piece from the site:

    Which religion is the true religion ?

    It is not such a hard thing with our understanding of the bible for the Lord's Witnesses to prove from the bible that we are the one true Christian religion today. In fact this book/website catalogues all of the 4 true Christian religions from Jesus' death until Armageddon - see [34]. The hard thing for us to do is to give you, the reader, through the pages of this book/website, enough courage to admit that there might actually only be one true religion at this time, and that if you are currently in a religion then it might actually be a false religion.

    Heres another:

    There are thousands of religions which claim to forgive your sins but cannot
    There are thousands of religions which claim to understand the bible but do not
    There are thousands of religions which claim to be authorised by God but are not

    The existence of these thousands of false religions does not mean that there is no true religion. Quite the reverse, it is strong evidence that there is a true religion. For who makes a forgery when there isn't an original? In fact the more forgeries there are, the more valuable the original is.

    Badboy....may I make a suggestion? Retitle this thread and try it again. I think most would really find this intresting, but are not seeing it and reading it, due to the title.
