'Centric intolerant people among the believers and non-believers have caused
the most harm. In Abrahmic religion, it tends to appear among the orthodox/
conservative, and Middle East Islam is predominantly that. I hope those calling
for tolerance prevail. -

The generation that saw the end of the Vietnam War will never die!
by life is to short inso what will be the new light on having such a young gb member?
will it be that obviously jesus clearly meant that evidently, plainly, unmistakably and with out a doubt (matt 24:34) that this generation that overlapped with the generation that saw ww1 and would overlap with the generation that saw ww2 which would than clearly overlap with the ones who saw the end of the vietnam war will never die.. this new gb is younger then i am and i just barley remember the end of the vietnam war.. how do the older ones keep believing this?
how can someone who is in their 60's to 80's swallow this?

You got a prophetic message from God, you just got it backward. Some could
recite the Bible backward, but nobody noticed you're supposed to interpret it backward:In the beginning, there was fire poured from above and a lake of fire--that
was the creation of the Earth.
People were ejected from Heaven, then God disassociated Himself from the
people on Earth.
Then they created religion as law of the land, such as in Israel, then Rome,
then Iran. Now God even felt cruel about people.
Around the time they tried reaching for the heavens with towering spacecraft,
God let waves of climate change cover the Earth, even above the tops of the
mountains, to preserve His reputation with the rest of the cosmos.
People believed in snakes who misrepresented the tree of knowledge till no
one knew there was one.
People died, then animals, plants, then the Earth was destroyed.
And everyone, which was God and the more angelic people on the exoplanets in
the heavens, lived happily ever after,
The end. -

"Doomsday May Not Be What You Think" Actually, it's worse...
by undercover inon jw.org they have an awake article posted entitled, doomsday - fact, fiction and fantasy.. they go on to list a few doomsday fears that some people have, namely: supervolcanoes, asteroids, climate change, disease pandemic, extinction of critical species and of course, nuclear war.. each of the preceding fears was given a paragraph or two explaining the impact of such scenerios and the devastation it could bring.. now that they've got us all worried about our bees fleeing our bee hives as the asteroid makes impact on a supervolcano, causing an eruption which warms the earth's climate thus giving rise to deadly diseases...all the while some nut in a third world country has developed a nuclear weapon.... ...they seek to reassure you: doomsday may not be what you think.
oh, well... that's good.
i was starting to worry there for a minute.... what reassurance could these prophets of god give me?.

Too many with afterlife stances yet have concern to do good for the
well being of people in this life for me to figure the stance to
prevent climate change naturally follows from an afterlife stance.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Religious_action_on_climate_change
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_environmentalismGlobal warming remains an issue of widespread political debate, sometimes
split along party political lines, especially in the United States.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_controversy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmfoQZMzsh8Greenhouse gases
1890-2007
Over this time period, the US accounted for 28% of emissions; the EU, 23%;
Russia, 11%; China, 9%; other OECD countries, 5%; Japan, 4%; India, 3%; and the
rest of the world, 18%.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gasThis reminded me of the GB:
There may be multiple causes of this trend, including a focus on economic
rather than environmental issues, and a negative perception of the "role the
United Nations has played in promoting the global warming issue."

The doomsday I think is possible is that the burgeoning population, and furth-
er industrialization of nations, pollutes the planet till climate change and
global warming makes the world uninhabitable. It reminds me of an OT story of
the folly of common human selfishness, like the flood or tower of Babylon, ex-
cept with people ironically providing their own punishment (more extreme than
the OT God causing some destruction, which He could cause with impunity with His
prerogative and which might prevent annihilation by lowering the population) and
unfortunately not allegorical.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_changeThe other irony is that some of the most politicized orthodox/conservative
types, besides arguing for a literal flood and against evolution, would be work-
ing to prevent action to prevent global warming/climate change, for some strange
reason, and be a notable segment of the selfish ones that bring on the punish-
ment. -

"Until Martin Luther came along there WAS one central "universal" (i.e.
catholic) church) christian source authority."?--sounds like a GB/Council of Jerusalem claim. see the article at the next
link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_denominationA better analogy than faith in a possible God with a book of math, or the
known of the world more generally, is with freedom of subjective reaction beyond
the math of music. Different denominations are like different songs in the same
style (similar to the point Paul makes in Rom.14 and elsewhere) except for some
orthodox branches, which restrict freedom of subjective reaction in a stance of
being final arbitars of taste. I would recommend freedom of subjective reaction
to the math of music as I would separation of church and state.As mentioned in the Wikipedia quote below, the bigger tension is between or-
thodox/conservative and liberal/progressive/reform. As usual, I'd recommend
liberal/progressive reform as better at keeping up to speed with the known God
is possible beyond and, seeing it as a hope for a possible, not proven, God, not
wanting any harm over it.Orthodox/conservative is where you're more likely to find claims proof of God/
inerrant Bible, religion made law of the land--something the NT Christians
didn't ask for but Islamists or many Republicans do, defense of old interpreta-
tion of old texts despite increasing knowledge, restriction of rights or worse
for women and LGBT people, arguments against evolution, etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_inerrancy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_infallibility"Some Christians view denominationalism as a regrettable fact. As of 2011
divisions are becoming less sharp, and there is increasing cooperation between
denominations (See denomination for a distinction between denomination and
association in religious governance), although relations between Liberal
Christians and Conservative Christians remain tense.Theological denominationalism ultimately denies reality to any apparent
doctrinal differences among the "denominations", reducing all differences to
mere matters de nomina ("of names").A denomination in this sense is created when part of a church no longer feel
they can accept the leadership of that church as a spiritual leadership due to
a different view of doctrine or what they see as immoral behaviour, but the
schism does not in any way reflect either group leaving the Church as a
theoretical whole.This particular doctrine is, of course, unacceptable to those Christian groups
that see themselves as being the "One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church"
as a whole. This includes Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism and the Oriental
Orthodoxy, each of which claims to be the subsistence of the exclusive "Holy,
Catholic, and Apostolic Church". In these churches, it is not possible to have
a separation over doctrinal or leadership issues, and any such attempts auto-
matically are a type of schism.
