  I don't watch TV - most TV media is a joke. I get my news from the internet and newspapers and magazines.

  Brokeback Mountain isn't as big a deal here as it is made out to be. People talk about it, but that's it. The media and the right wing nuts like to go nuts over it, but I don't much pay attention to them.

  When I think UN, I don't think scandal, I think "useless."

  As for guantanamo - I don't much care.

  And they also believe that 1914 is a significant year because all historians agree so.

  But why is it more significant than 1492, 1776, 1779, 1789, 1861, 1913, 1917, 1929, 1939, 1945, 1989, 1991, or even 2001? Serious events which had as much or more effect on history happened in those years. Why is 1914 special?

  In addition, what scriptural basis is there for an invisible enthronement? See Matthew 24:30 and Revelation 1:7 - "every eye shall see him."

  That reminds me of a story I once read:

  2 Kings

  2:23 And [Elisha] went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

  2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

  You didn't happen to curse the children and summon she-bears to tear them up, did you?

  GBSJG - they have to hold on to the 607 doctrine because that's how they justify the 1914 doctrine. One simple question - how do we know Jesus was invisibly enthroned in 1914?

  this is the word of jehovah: alas!

  for that day is a great one, so that there is no other like it.

  the sound of trembling we have heard, dread, look!

  did you hear the one about the Pope backcharging publishers for rolyalties?

  From the article: "They can also publish full texts for free provided they cite Vatican copyright, it says, but if a text is published separately, as Tornielli did in a book, payment is due."

  It's when someone decides to publish the Pope's writings as a book, for instance, that payment will be due.
