Just to explain to our foreign readers here the Ashes I refer to are in an ern in England and are the Ashes of the Cricket stumps burnt in a match over a hundred years ago. When Australia first won in a cricket match in England it was too much for an English lady who gathered the Cricket stumps together and burnt them. thereafter the Ashes have been kept in an ern in England and the match between Australia and England has been known as the Ashes

by Hellrider ini found a good text online, about early christianity: .

Episcopalians, Seventh day adventists , Baptists , Methodists all beleive the same on the Trinity.basically. God is Father Son and Holy Spirit ;that make up one God. Three persons make up one god. All have allways existed.
The incarnation is when Jesus or God the Son came to earth in th eform of a human. Jesus was fully god and fully man the scriptures can speak of Jesus a man and Jesus the son of God. Jesus has two natures.
When I was a young boy I went to a bible study group in the SDA church and we went throught the statement of beleif of the Episcopalian church and beleive it or not it is the same as what SDAs beleive on the Trinity as well as every other beleif. Of course the SDAs have a few extra beleifs that are not included in the Westminister confession

I think its a very good link the fact is the time period in question the scriptures hadnt been decided on Hebrews to Revelation. These books were decided on by the end of the fourth century.
Flying high no one beleives all three are the one person that is only a straw man .

Winning trades were let run to give a maximum return and are more profitable even after the trial period. The total value of the shares after the 5 weeks is $42309 giveing a raw profit of $7553 or 21.7% over 5 weeks. The trades were managed by trend line multiple moveing averages and a countback line to stop out loseing trades and also as a stop loss to protect profit gains on winning trades.
22 stocks were chosen from the Australian stock exchange in the resources sector. The resources are hot at the moment with the indexes out performing all other sectors. BHP is the worlds biggest miner and is an Australian company.

The Lesson of Martin Luther...
by Confucious inhey guys.... just felt like posting tonight.. comment or don't comment... but there was a good thought that came to mind tonight for me.. martin luther.... no... not martin luther king, jr.. the martin luther.. and forgive me please if my historical facts aren't 100 percent.. but martin luther went against the catholic church.. he posted the 95 rig-a-ma-role on the church doors.
basically condeming the sale of indulgence from pope leo.. anyway... martin luther went against the so called "norm" of the day.. but one of the things that i learned from him was his famous quote.... "here i stand.
god help me.".

Martin Luther rediscovered the biblical teaching of righteousness by faith and this is the teaching which frightened the Catholic church the most. The teaching says that we are declared righteous and of course if the teaching was acceprted by the RC church many of there teachings would be obsolute. In othere words the rites performed by the church no longer have any power such as the rite of forgiveness and to forgive sins because the beleiver as the bible says can approach the throne of God himself. The official catholic position is that the beleiver is made righteous. Many Catholics today are evangelicals.

An elder told me that I can give blood here, but not there...
by JH ina few years ago, i was diagnosed with too much iron in my blood.
most people lack iron, but i have too much.
with time, this iron lodges in the body, and it's not good.. so, my doctor told me to give blood a few times a year and this problem would be solved.

JH just tell them to divide youre blood into fractions that are permissable under WT rules after that it isnt your responsible anymore. I dont see how the elders could argue with that.

by truthseeker inis he right or wrong?.
during his talk, the circuit overseer asked what kinds of negative information get spread about jehovah's witnesses.
of course, the question was rheoctorical, the audience didn't answer.

The Muslims beleive in Jesus too they beleive he will come again at the end of the world. The WT Society actually hides the role of Jesus to its members as much as possible.

Why is the watchtower anonymously written
by headmath init seems that after rutherford's death that every wts publication was anonymous.
that was done to create a subconscious belief in the reader of divine authorship.
the watchtower is written by the fds and they are god's only channel of communication.

Gday Yaddayadda,
Im an SDA and the real reason we have information about the authors of our magazines is so we dont waste valuable time reading the articals of people that are teaching heresy in our magazines. If they teach heresy once, likely they will push their point of view again. Thats where the WT society is very tricky in being anonymous. Barry

I would suggest the hospital should remove the offending blood from the womens body taking the exact amount.
