Crystal Cathedral is Bankrupt: Chapter 11 filed
by Terry inyour request is being processed.... crystal cathedral bankruptcy: megachurch files for chapter 11 amy taxin | 10/18/10 09:11 pm | .
garden grove, calif. crystal cathedral, the megachurch birthplace of the televangelist show "hour of power," filed for bankruptcy monday in southern california after struggling to emerge from debt that exceeds $43 million.. in addition to a $36 million mortgage, the orange county-based church owes $7.5 million to several hundred vendors for services ranging from advertising to the use of live animals in easter and christmas services.. the church had been negotiating a repayment plan with vendors, but several filed lawsuits seeking quicker payment, which prompted a coalition formed by creditors to fall apart, church officials said.. "tough times never last, every storm comes to an end.
right now, people need to hear that message more than ever," sheila schuller coleman, the cathedral's senior pastor and daughter of the founder, told reporters outside the worship hall.. "everybody is hurting today.

I spent 7 years in Amway. It sent chills down my spine when I started reading material about cults - especially Steve Hassan's material.

Brothers Be Happy - WT Study for October 25-32, Earnestly Seek Jehovah's Blessing...
by jgnat init's no good just to go through the motions.
to achieve jehovah's blessings, the brothers and sisters must have the right heart motivation; to conduct their work in joy and love and remind themselves that the load is not burdensome.. but what if the work is boring and burdensome?
what if in the organization and scheduling of "god's organization", the spirit of the law has been lost?.

If the burden is light, why would need to be reminded of that? Jesus prefaced His statement with "come unto me". He was talking to those that had not yet taken up the burden.

Why dont Jehovah Witness pioneers and baptized publishers like the title 'Ordained Minister?'
by Joliette ini watched a video on this, and an independent filmmaker was asking a brother why dont jehovah's witnesses publishers and pioneers consider themselves to be ordanined ministers.
he went to a scripture and then said that the reason why we do this work, is to help our neighboors learn about the bible and live there lives according to it.
he seemed to distance himself from the title 'ordained minister.

okay, so i have been online dating, for um, about a year or two, i am 15, and i am not sure if any of you have heard the "sixth sense" i have that, and i feel i can trust this dude, so i am sure he is who he says he is, i don't have any bad vibes about him...except he's an athiest :( but other than that, he is a really nice guy, we have started dating this month.
yes, we have cybering, but not much, and no, we dont send any explicit pics and we're both virgins.

Black, for all you know, he is 40 years old and just trying to get into your pants. It appears that the only things you know about him is what HE has told you. Perverts will be the "boyfriend" of several girls at a time. They practice until they can pass for 16. It is easy to be anything you want from behind a computer monitor. Girls who are wishing for their knight in shining armor only make it easier. I have neices that were sure of their "sixth sense". Now they are stuck in miserable marriages. I am not getting on your case here, just pointing out reality. I do wish the best for you.
