I always thought I would try this approach if I needed to let everybody in my hall know something Get about 50 to a 100 bandit signs with a quick message on it and put them up and down the street(s) near to and leading to the hall. http://shop.banditsigns.com/custom-signs-c-39.html Then sit back and watch....Do it on a HOT sunday during the meeting.....watch the brothers break a sweat trying to pick them up. stuffing them in their cars. Everyone would be talking about it..

Revelation 6:6
by rassillon ini am confused, which interpretation of the "olive oil and the wine" did the holy spirit give to the "faithfull slave"?
did the holy spirit forget to correct the reasoning book?
i think jesus and jehovah must be getting confused as to what they are currently teaching the fds, or maybe bethel hasn't paid the bill on that big red phone that jesus calls them on?

Were Russell's Bible Students the only ones predicting 1914?
by jwfacts insince russell took the 7 times interpretation from miller there must have been other people aware of millers prophecy.
in 1914 were there any other groups that were expecting the 7 times to end?
the watchtower says that the bible students were the only ones, but what about millerites etc?

If you keep predicting dates you will eventually be right, unless you die first.....
I predict the year 7347 according to the Ademic calendar. Of course you have to take into effect the year for a day rule, the prophetic 360 day year, the hebrew to aramaic conversion rule, the hebrews had no zero rule, the post flood played spades in the ark diferentation rule, the 10 commandments, the law of love, the binary subtraction rule, and the i before e except after c rule.
Taking that into consideration and recognizing that 7347 is converted to (7)(3+4=7)(7)=777 we can see that this really is God's date and not mans. So tuck your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye and remember I told you first or zero non accession year.

*** rs p. 235 par. 4 Last Days ***
Is anything different about these food shortages? Revelation 6:6 indicated that a small quantity of such staples as wheat or barley would be selling for a day’s wage (a denarius; see Matthew 20:2) but that supplies of such items as olive oil and wine used by people who are well-to-do would not be harmed. So apparently many would suffer shortage while others could still get what they wanted. This situation is no longer local, but global. In 1981 The New York Times reported: “The improvement in living standards and the growing demand for food around the world have put pressure on food prices, making it harder for the poorest countries to import their food needs.” In many lands the production of food, even with the aid of modern science, has not been able to keep pace with the increase in total population. Modern food experts see no real solution to the problem.
*** re chap. 16 p. 96 Four Horsemen at the Gallop! ***
23 What is implied by the statement, “Do not harm the olive oil and the wine”? Some have viewed it as meaning that while many would be short of food and even starving, the luxuries of the rich would not be harmed. But in the Middle East, oil and wine are not really luxuries. In Bible times, bread, oil, and wine were viewed as staples. (Compare Genesis 14:18; Psalm 104:14, 15.) Water was not always good, so wine was widely used for drinking and sometimes for medicinal purposes. (1 Timothy 5:23) With regard to oil, in Elijah’s day the widow of Zarephath, poor as she was, still had some oil left with which to cook her remaining flour. (1 Kings 17:12) Therefore, the command “do not harm the olive oil and the wine” appears to be advice not to use up these basic commodities too quickly but to be sparing in their use. Otherwise, they will be ‘harmed,’ that is, they will run out before the famine ends. -

This is an odd example of a Witness at my door, any one heard of this?
by free2beme inabout two weeks ago i was in the front yard on a saturday and washing one of the cars.
i looked down the street and saw two woman in dresses walking from house to house, with a young child in a suit.
of course, i knew they were witnesses and i knew they would be at my door soon.

What's your nickname?
by Country Girl ineveryone seems to have some kind of nickname or pet name that their family, friends, or spouse/significant other calls them.
some of the names were acquired in childhood and just "stuck" and some were acquired later in life.
what is/was your pet name, and is there an interesting story behind it?

When I was young I was named Jaws by a guy who worked for my dad cause I asked so many questions. I wouldn't shut up. He was operating a front-end loader / back-hoe and I just sat there asking him "what does this do?" "what does that do?"
He was really nice about it but I bet it bugged him to death...
I am still a big mouth....but the name never made the jump from my family to my friends.

I thought the 1000 year reign came after armageddon?
Am I making sense?
What is the WT's explaination?
Am I missing something? I really don't know how I did not think about this earlier....I guess the fog is lifting...;)
I am counting on all you misinformed, satanic, evil, hater, apostates....
