The real question is: "Apocalypse Delayed was published in 1985. What have I been doing for 29 years?"

New Light - I've figured it out (and it's mine so don't you 'tates steal my royalties or MY followers - they belong to me [evil maniacal laughter] )
by berrygerry inso, we continue to face mounting challenges with 607 vs 587 (20 year differential), and the generation dying out.. therefore, after a personal (420 free - honest) research and revelation, it would appear that 587 is the correct launch date.. with respect to the 7 times, russell had been influenced by john a. brown into using a year of 360 days, when prescience would most surely indicate that at the time of discovery (2014) one would use the number of days of that respective calendar, i.e.. 365 1/4 days, an additional 5.25 days per year.. so, 7 x 5.25 = 36.75, which, using the biblical principle of rounding down, is 36 years.
(a day for a year).. adding the 20 year differential to the 36 years now gives us 56 years, which when added to 1914 ce, brings us to 1970 ce.. when we ask the god google, the significance of 1970, it tells us that earth day began 4/22/1970 (note not 4/20).. and who came to the aid of the woman (rev.

I'm reading Apocalypse Delayed.
It doesn't say why Brown chose 360, but he went from 604 BCE to 1917.
Barbour thought Brown was 2 years off, and went to 1914.
Russell was convinced with Barbour's reasoning, and kept it after their split.
I like the comment in the Revelation Climax book regarding the overlooked 0 year factor:
"Providentially, those Bible Students had not realized that there is no zero year between "B.C." and "A.D." Later, when research made it necessary to adjust B.C. 606 to 607 B.C.E., the zero year was also eliminated, so that the prediction held good at "A.D. 1914."
So, it's not wrong light - it's just bent. And science has demonstrated that light can be bent.
JeffT, if you have demonstrated repentance, you may be reinstated, but your tithe rate will be 30% during probation.

Fundraising without an identifiable use or need for the proceeds 63. Registered charities can only raise funds that are necessary to fulfill their mandates. Fundraising activities should not be undertaken simply because the charity has the opportunity to raise additional funds. There must be an identified use or need for the money. Depending on a charity’s particular circumstances, an identified use or need could include funds required for current and ongoing charitable (and other acceptable) activities or funds to be maintained as reserves. However, when a charity has sufficient income for its identified uses or needs, the need for new fundraising may be questionable
CRA should maybe take a peek at the cashgrab.

Sorry about your stroke.
I always had high b/p, and always feared heart attack or stroke.
Although I take pills, after being punted out, my b/p is the lowest it's been in 25 years.
Good health to you.

I remember explaining as the Accounts Servant to the PO certain things that we, as a charity, needed to follow.
He grumbled "Those are just men's rules!"

My Elderette is attempting to change the subject again
by Faithful Witness inwe were in the middle of discussing their use of god's personal name, and miss k was not able to find one place in the bible, where jesus actually said the name out loud (that wasn't a quote from the ot).
we had started out by talking about jesus being "the way, the truth and the life.
" then she stated that one of the purposes of jesus' coming to earth, was "to make god's name known.

One question I would like answered, as a parent, " How bad were your children when you decided to stop loving them?"
"How bad were they, then, that you decided that they should be executed?"

My wife is never going to wake up.
by marriedtoajw inwhat do you do when you believe in your heart that your spouse is never going to wake up to the tatt?
when you're sick of the cherade of pretending you can deal with the spiritual division when you dont think you can anymore.
when you're convinced that your spouse is so decieved she is lost in a desert and is fine with living by the mirage.
