  Keeping it in perspective is a good title. Tom Im an Adventist just to be brief Adventists dont beleive in hellfire, the immortality of the soul or that heaven is the final place of man. In fact all witness beleifs are held by christendom the beleif in 1914 is in principle is borrowed from the adventist beleife in 1844. The Arian beleif was borrowed from Arias from the 4th century. Some Adventists are Arian but most beleive the trinity doctrine. Its often said here that the trinity is pagan where did Arias get his model from? Read up about Greek thought you will find the Greek beleifs the same as Arianism. Barry

  given a roasting for our daughters behaviour!

  2. beliefs

  i'm not sure if i'm posting in the correct section but i had to put this somewhere just to let off some steam.. i have a beautiful little girl, she's just two and a half but she's tall, so she looks more like a four year old.

  we live in a flat and have no access to a garden, the lady who lives underneath us is a nightworker, so we have to try and keep the noise down through the day.

  which means that my poor daughter doesn't get the chance to run off steam.

  the new star trek movie, "nemesis" is premiering on december 13, 2002. i am really looking forward to it.

  although i grew up with the original, i must admit to a certain fondness for the next generation and to captain picard.

  The SDAs have set up a commitee of people to deal with child and other sexual abuse in their church. THe commitee is made up of SDAs and also christians of other denominations so as to be objective with these terrible problems. I sent information off to Bill on this approach maybe he can use it for his purposes. I dont trust any religion or organisation in allways doing the right thing on these issues. As our Lord said 'beware of men'. Barry

My ex has joined more religions than i can remember and changes religion just like changing men. If something upsets my ex she doesnt back off, they will get it for sure and she has had experiance with the witnesses in the past. Anyway she did inform me that she felt the witnesses their were more tolerant because the few witnesses in the area and the low meeting attendance.

  That quote by John is to reject the teachings of the gnostics who claimed our Lord didnt have a real body even before the crusifiction the body of christ was only a cloak and Simon of serine was crusified in the place of christ. This heracy was common in the first and second century. The reason the witnesses say our lord didnt have a real body when resurected is because of 1914 and his invisible comming in that year. I had many disscussions with the witnesses on this very topic. It seems when our lord showed thomas his hands and feet with the wounds they were fake only a fake copy of his wounds. Barry
