when i first got on this site, i would bristle at the thought that i ever belonged to a cult.. do you believe that witnesses are truly "cultists"?.

1. | a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies. |
2. | an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, esp. as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult. |
3. | the object of such devotion. |
4. | a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc. |
5. | Sociology . a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols. |
6. | a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader. |
7. | the members of such a religion or sect. |
8. | any system for treating human sickness that originated by a person usually claiming to have sole insight into the nature of disease, and that employs methods regarded as unorthodox or unscientific. I would say not according to the definition of cult. What do you think? |
a number of religions ,not just the wacky dubs, claim we are in the "time of the end ".
now, leaving out silly numbers and 1914, which was blown away years ago, what do such apocalyptic doom-mongerers have from scripture to give this idea credence ?.
the only thing i can think of , apart from the "cry of peace and security " which is no proof at all, is daniels dream image in dan chap.
More and more people I talk to think the world will end in 2012 according to the Mayan calendar.
I am hoping on this year.........one hour with the wild beast is the final blow.
t.f.d.s.

The feet of iron and clay.
This depicts a Democratic government. A house divided will not stand. You can look up my posts to get a different view on the time of the end. Have a good evening.....

i apologize if this has been mentioned, but i don't have the time to come on here as often.
yesterday's bookstudy on divorce got my shorts in a bit of a knot.
apparently, according to the god's love book, a wife could consider legal separation from her husband if she is physically abused, but (get this) only in the case of extreme physical abuse, and if the wife's life is in danger.
I like pigs the tiny ones are so cute
Have a good day

Estephan,
You forgot to insert the photo of you with no shirt on.
I need a new photo that one is in the past There is a point to everything I do even if I have no clue why lol. As I have stated, I do nothing of my own accord only way things out and give in where I think it might be appropriate.

Ada, feel blessed because you live in the time period where all things written takes place and have been. You have just been pointed in the wrong direction. I am actually from GOD as He sent me forth. The one at Matthew 24:45-47
A time period was set for all creation upon the earth to live with "free will". Those in the heavens known as the wicked ones are being brought to justice at Harmageddon and I am witness to this. This has occured coincidental to the war in The Middle East.
Rest assure that Jesus Christ has been crowned, no not in 1914, but within these past years after september 11.......GOD is with me therefore I know.
t.f.d.s.
may you have peace!.
i have been directed by the holy spirit to bring something to your attention and ask you with regard to it:.
matthew 17:1-13 gives an account of the transfiguration of my lord, when he was seen with elijah and moses... which was witnessed by peter, james, and john.
Dearest Son/TFDS... peace to you, as well (is that you, dear Larry??)
I am Estephan Leuese, the faithful and discreet slave. You can call me Estephan

4 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake and continually follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save his soul will lose it; but whoever loses his soul for my sake will find it. 26 For what benefit will it be to a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man is destined to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will recompense each one according to his behavior. 28 Truly I say to YOU that there are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until first they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
23 Then he went on to say to all: “If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake day after day and follow me continually. 24 For whoever wants to save his soul will lose it; but whoever loses his soul for my sake is the one that will save it. 25 Really, what does a man benefit himself if he gains the whole world but loses his own self or suffers damage? 26 For whoever becomes ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of this one when he arrives in his glory and that of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell YOU truthfully, There are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until first they see the kingdom of God.”
At which point in time were the highlighted words above stated? Please note that they do not occur in both books but only one. This should answer your question which was given to you by clue.......
