Burglers!
by frozen one inwoke up this morning to find that someone had broken into my house while i slept.
all that is missing is my billfold (didn't have much money, but replacing the cards will stink) and my cell phone (with a couple hundred numbers).
i wonder why they didn't take my laptop and camera?

Like was said earlier there are different types. There is too little differentation(sp?) as to embryonic or otherwise. I am for it IF it does not include ending the life of an unborn baby. If embryonic stem cells are harvested from miscarriages, accident victims and such that is ok too. Just no deliberate premature ending of life.

PASTOR RUSSELL on MASONIC connections
by Terry in(pastor russell dot com)in his own words...was pastor russell a freemason?.
"there are certain conditions,the low gate, the narrow way, the difficult path.
although i have never been a mason, i have heard that in masonry they have something which very closely illustrates this" ... "many masons shake hands with me and give me what i know is their grip; they don't know me from a mason.

; ; ;Sounds like strange advise coming from one who used the Winged Sun-disk ; to decorate the cover of his ;"Finished Mystery" and also used the Knights Templar crown and cross and other Masonic symbols to decorate the covers of "Zion's Watchtower" and "The Studies in the Scriptures" series!!
Sounds like a strange statement from someone who has not looked at the full history of these symbols and their use and has bought into the hype of others who have done the same. Russell was not a freemason, anyone who has seriously looked at the information in an unbiased way would know that this. There are alot of anti/ex-jw's that want to use this argument about the masons. It just doesn't hold up to critical review. When I was still in "mentally" I researched this and because of the obvious dishonest take by many it made me think that the WT was right about people attacking them because they had the "truth". I know this is not so now but poor arguments like this cloud the real problems with the society and it's history. -r

re chap. 1 p. 8 Revelation—Its Happy Climax! ***Searching
Out Divine Secrets6 As early as
1917, the Watch Tower Society published the book The Finished Mystery . This was a verse-by-verse commentary on the Bible books of Ezekiel and Revelation. Then, as world events continued to unfold in fulfillment of Bible prophecy, a timely two-volume work entitled Light was prepared, being released in 1930 . This offered an updated study of Revelation. Light continued to ‘flash up for the righteous,’ so that in 1963 the Society published the 704-page book "Babylon the Great Has Fallen!" God’s Kingdom Rules! This gave in great detail the history of the rise and fall of Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion, and it was climaxed with a discussion of the final nine chapters of Revelation . As ‘the path of the righteous ones grew brighter ,’ particularly with regard to congregational activity, there followed in 1969 a 384-page volume, "Then Is Finished the Mystery of God, " which discussed the first 13 chapters of Revelation .—Psalm 97:11; Proverbs 4:18.
7 Why should another book on Revelation be published at this present time? Much of the information that has already appeared is very detailed, and it has not been possible to translate and publish it worldwide in many languages. Hence, it was seen fit to provide a book on Revelation in just one volume and in a form that can readily be produced in a number of languages. Further, the opportunity is taken in this volume to provide teaching aids, including illustrations, charts, and summaries, that should help readers to grasp clearly the thrilling import of this marvelous prophecy.
8 An even stronger reason for publishing this book is the need to keep up-to-date with present truth. Jehovah is continually shedding greater light on the meaning of his Word, and we can expect that our understanding of Revelation, along with other prophecies, will be sharpened as we draw closer to the great tribulation. (Matthew 24:21; Revelation 7:14) It is important that we be well informed. As the apostle Peter wrote concerning divine prophecy: "You are doing well in paying attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day dawns and a daystar rises, in your hearts."—2 Peter 1:19.

rassillon
I did , I loved it.
I hate france and was glad they lost.
I like Zidane, and couldn't believe what he did especially since what was stated earlier is true he is a great Pentalty Kicker.
This was a lesser of two evils for me but it was a good game. -
