Why are you looking forward to 2005?
by Nowhere inanyone heard anyting of 2005?
i've spoken to some witnesses here, who are really worried about 2005. they say it was pretty obvious at the last convention, that the world may end in 2005. because of 1975 and the fact that jesus was 30 years old, the last time he preached on earth... .
what have i missed?

Frankly, I would think that if Jesus said 'at a time that you do not think to be it, the Son of Man is coming' and 'no one knows the day or the hour' then that means that no one can calculate that day and hour.
"Now is not the time to be toying with those words of Jesus." - WBTS

They did have a picture of him once. Can't remember where, whether mag or book. He was a rather handsome fellow, with thick black hair except for a couple of streaks of grey at his temples... where horns might have been, had he had horns...
If I recall correctly, he was showing Jesus the wonders of the world, offering them in exchange for an act of worship.

I'm trying to find the name of a song....
by mindfield inprobably most of you will know what song i'm talking about, but like me, won't know the name of the song.
where to begin... well, this song is basically instrumental.
it introduces a lot of disney-related movies (for children), specifically scenes that start in a forest.... birds chirping, chipmunks walking around, and the like.

Here you go, Mindfield.

life and death
by larc inwhen i was a young man, i didn't think about death.
in my 20's, i thought life would go on forever.
now, that i have lived 6 months longer than my father, and my wife is faced with a life threatening situation, my views are quite different.. i have to ask myself what i want to accomplish before i die.

If the elders are informed about an illegal activity or any other delict or wrongdoing committed by a member of the community, they will not, even if it is instructed by the laws of the Church, announce it to the authorities.
I believe there is a typographical error in this statement. "the laws of the Church" probably actually says "the laws of the land" or "the laws of the government" in the book. It makes no sense as "Church". -

The media's interest is story driven. I know that from past experience. After the surreal attention dies down, victims are still left to sort out lives and deal with the memories.
That is exactly as it should be. The media is just that: the media. News reporters. That's what they do: report the news.
Are you thinking the media are supposed to provide counseling for the victims? Counseling is available for the victims. If they choose not to get it, don't dog the media about it. The media did its part.
