What is the weather like in China?
Do you speak Mandarin or Cantonese?
Do you still have Bird Flu epidemic? Is it true that the pigs now have the bird flu? I read it in China newspaper that may swine were now being destroyed because of it.

Is "the Great Tribulation" now interchangeable with "Armageddon"?
by marmot init seems that in the latest editions of the wt "the great tribulation" is being referred to as something that only the witnesses will survive.
for example, here are some references pulled from the upcoming members-only study edition: .
page 4, par.

You cannot rely on what you have been previously told. (by wbts)
Wbts IS part of Babylon Great. And if it were ever "God's House" then we are forwarned that that is where the "housecleaning" starts.
Many christians believe that they are going to "fly out of here" before the start of tribulation. Some groups think it will be mid-way through tribulation. This is a bunch of baloney, too.
The SCRIPTURES say that certain ones of us will "be under God's protective tent" through the whole ordeal.
As USA has been considered the "world power" for quite sometime, I forsee a disaster that shakes this nation from its stand. It could be economic, natural, or man-made. Whatever. It will result in a "prince of peace" coming forth. I see this person as a liason between the UN and the global powers. This is already in place and ready to come forth. The head-wound? Think ego. You figure it out.
At this time, there will need to be a new system of identity. You can see what a problem this caused with Katrina. So many people missing, never found. People flown out to Utah, no chance to tell relatives where they were going. Some held as insurgents in military camps. Trailers holding 7,000 of the unidentified dead. Unidentified bodies washing up on gulf shores and even as far away as NC. (yes, its true. I checked currents. Blurb from NC newspaper was removed from internet). Many people do not know all of the truth that happened because of that disaster.
This new system of identity will mark people. But there will be a price to pay. A loyalty oath perhaps? A denial of any religious affiliation or denial to speak such things? It will be a matter of choice. You won't be held down and forced against your will. This move will be spoon fed to you as a peaceful solution to unity. And many will see this propagator as an "angel of light".
As some of you may know, there is a proposal currently in the works to open the borders of the USA to Canada and Mexico. The USA will give up its sovernity. European nations have already done this. It is much easier for a one world government to bond four large chunks of nations than a lot of individual ones. It is a gradual assembly. The currency will be changed to "Amero".
The UN has already designed a plan called Agenda 21 for the future. It deals with feeding the little people this garbage about "global warming" when any scientist knows the earth goes through cyclic processes. But yes, man has brought about a lot of the problems, and yes, we can help to correct some of them. But it should not take giving up your birthright. And those of you who have spent your lives in bondage to the wbts should know that birthright freedom is hard won. The freedom of thought and freedom to live life according to your own perceptions.
Fall of religious shams + disasters (economic, natural, man-made) lead to Great Tribulation....then culminates at Armageddon

just looking for some advice
by jessica448 ini just want to start off by saying that i am not a jehovah's witness...about six months ago i started dating a really great guy, and about 2 months into our relationship he shared with me that he was disfellowshipped for a relationship he was in (he was living with his girlfriend).
this is so difficult for him because his family lives in the area, and being segregated from them is very hard for him.
recently, he has been considering an attempt to be reinstated (i'm sorry if i am not using the correct terminology...most of what i know about the religion i have learned online).

If it doesn't move and should, use wd-40. How's that for preparedness? ;-)
Thanks anyway, but I will stick with my flax seeds.
Brent:
The more you prepare for something the less likely it will happen,
For some it may be "disaster prep," for others it may just be living "greener", or living within your means, or just enjoying a bohemian-type lifestyle. I didn't mean this as simply disaster planning. The title was just to get your attention so you folks would come in and visit.

I heard a few stories about generators being stolen during hurricane disasters. I just looked it up real quick, and yep, sure 'nuf. It must happen everywhere. The noise is so detectable.
http://www.albany.edu/~jd4226/project2/account.html
There were many robberies, however, where Perrodin heard rumors of stolen generators and lawn equipment from people's homes. The rumors wound up being true. Authorities arrested Naburan Cammon, 31, and his girlfriend, Yolanda Jacobs, 36, for allegedly stealing $120,000 in equipment from residents and businesses evacuated for Lili. They were driving a stolen pickup and hauling a stolen trailer loaded with $20,000 in lawn equipment when they were arrested.

Y'all are one spoiled bunch of kids!
Wait till you see how I save on hot water!
I have 100 foot of hose under my compost pile (which is about 10 ft high) and another 100 feet to connect it to my outdoor shower which is being built right now.
I am connecting a grey water system (very simple--trench and pvc) for the outdoor shower and washing machine. So that will help keep the flower beds watered.
By the way, a 100 foot hose delivers 10 gallons of water.
I also have rain barrels which I use for gardening water.

LIVING SIMPLE:
SELF-SUSTAINING, FRUGAL, GREEN, BOHEMIAN, and having EMERGENCY BACK-UP PLANS.
I am not talking about the big A.
Your disaster could be a financial setback. It could be a temporary black-out, a storm, a flood, family moving in with you, water shortages, etc. Or maybe you have just been considering a more simple life-style or a way to get out of debt.
We know there are changes on the horizon. With the increasing prices of gas, every industry is affected.
Lets share solutions for living simple, how to save money, ideas to make extra money on your own, how to live as self-sustaining as possible, useful things you can make to recycle stuff, anything you do to cut costs, make a necessity become more earth friendly, and how to use items on hand for emergency plans.
I will start with outdoor cooking. Here's a way to build a simple oven out of a terra cot pot.
You will need:
- 24” X 24” Concrete paving block
- Large terra cotta flower pot (about 16” diameter, 15” depth, with thick walls and a hole in the bottom)
- 2” X 4” X 8’, cut in half
- Electric saber saw with a tile blade
Mark the placement of the oven door opening on the terra cotta pot with chalk. The opening should be at least six inches wide at the lip of the pot and at least six inches tall to allow for the height and width of the hoe and a loaf of bread.
Cut out the opening using the saber saw. Go slowly as to not crack the pot.
Place the two halves of the 2” X 4” about 2 feet apart and place the paving block on top of them.
Place the oven top down on the paving block. YOU’VE MADE YOUR OVEN!
Here's a grill made from a terra cotta pot:
Although more expensive than a tabletop-sized grill, it's less than the cost of two small grills, which is where we would be if the 1st grew legs and took off. This also could be jimmy-rigged to be a rotisserie, with our ice cream machine's motor as the power behind the rotisserie. That will be a project for later this summer.
Here's an oven that can be built in an hour:
http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/%7Edac/BrickOven/Instant_BrickOven.html
This is a good one I call the disaster version. It looks like it was built from scavenger hunt items.
and for those of you with unlimited income, here's one for $2000.
But I really like homemade better. I like enjoy the creative process and being able to say "I made this".
MY STORY: During the summer months I cook outside as much as possible. It saves money on my air conditioning bill because I do not have to heat up the house by using oven. It also saves money on electric by not using an indoor oven. I like to bake bread and that means usually running the oven for an hour. Before I had my outdoor oven, I limited my bread baking mostly to the winter months. I am still experimenting with the bake times in the pot oven. This winter I will put a windbreaker (probably tin) to the north side of it to keep it from chilling and cooling off too quick. The area will hopefully, as it progresses, become the "gathering spot" and to warm my hands when I am outdoors. Handcrafted Terra Cotta Oven ($2,000). This European wood-fired oven makes use of hard- and fruit-woods to heat up and cook all of your favorite meats, pizzas and vegetables.
