i think i heard that the wt recently announced that the fds is really the gb alone.
is this suppose to be brought out at the convention?.
any other new light coming out that anyone is aware of?
I guess you can lump Babylon the Great in with the false teachers. By their reasoning, I am sure you can lump those human apostates in that category as well.
Bunker mentality.
I imagine my wife will remember some parts of it. If the Noo Lite GB = FDS is brought out, she will miss it, and she will get a wee bit zealous for a little bit. But it will fade and she will return to her old self.

Thanks guys, looking over the program. Wow, Human Apostates. Didn't see anything concerning Babylon the Great.

Any other new light coming out that anyone is aware of? Sorry, but I have not been on here that much lately, so I am a bit behind on the latest witness stuff.
one thing that i havn't mentioned in any of my posts is that i have a 26 year old son along with the 4 kids that my wife and i have together.
i became a father very young, 15 to be exact.
that's a whole other issue but not on this post.
You need to be Enrolled, Employed, or Enlistment. Religion or not, I would take issue with a 21 year old living in my house who is unemployed or not in college. I would just stress the importance of that, especially in light of your starting a family at a young age.
Unlike your wife, I doubt there is a woman out there who will take care of your 21 year old after he leaves the house.

i know jehovah's witnesses do not teach the rapture (except maybe for the 144,000) so all of them expect to live through the tribulation (whatever that was to them).
Sorry for not responding sooner. To answer the question about IFB, yes, it stands for Independent Fundamental Baptist. Until I watched that 20/20 special on them and learned that there was a group of former IFB's that existed, I just used the full name but it got lengthy saying Independent Fundamental Baptist over and over again.
There are many striking similarities between the witnesses and the IFB's. When I started attending the meetings with my wife, I felt those same feelings I used to feel back in my old IFB church. That was part of the reason why I could never embrace them as part of the Christianity that I came to know after leaving the IFB's (they were far too similar).
Anyway, indeed, televangelist like Jack Van Impe were always about stirring up fear and begging for money. Jack went as far as to predict that he believed a lot of the events predicted in the Bible would start coming to past around the late 1990's (around 1998 from what I recall him saying). Well, it is 2013, and no rapture unless it was invisible. I don't know if Jack and his wife were IFB's but my pastor approved of them so at the time I believed what he said. Of course, my pastor also preached that the beast in Revelations was a super computer in Belgium and that Captain Planet was another form of Satan, or that the smurfs were demonic, or that Proctor and Gamble was run by satanists.
Wierd, but until I watch that 20/20 special, I never took the IFB's for a cult. Now I know better.

Is left behind the movie, based on the book series?
Yes, my mother actually bought the series (I don't understand why). Jack Van Impe also came out with his own Left Behind video, mostly featuring Rexella interpreting world events and Jack tying them in with Bible prophesy (just like his tv shows).

When Christ returns, He gathers all of those who belong to Him - those who are living, and those who have died in the flesh... they are caught up with him, and changed to be like him... in a twinkling. The first resurrection. The second resurrection doesn't happen until th end of the 'thousand' year reign of Christ and those who rule as kings and priests with Him.
I can't recall whether or not IFB's believed in the whole two resurrection thing. I would say, yes since IFB's firmly believe in the first resurrection, the 1,000 year reign of Christ, and the final judgement. Where I am fuzzy on is whether or not IFB's believe that the great white throne of judgement occurs either after the tribulation or after the 1,000 year reign of Christ.
my youngest daughter is so cute, she loves singing and loves being festive.
when i put up the tree, she loved saying, "it's christmas, it's pretty...." her babysitter, a witness from my wife's hall, lives next door to a neighbor who put up decorations in the yard like i did in front of our apartment.
when we leave her house, she would run next door to look at the "christmas" as she would say, "look, the christmas.
OTWO: Good response, meant for the babysitter or the wife?
Witness 007: My wife has an irrational phobia of 'having too much fun' during the holidays and on birthdays. She thinks God is going to kill her.

This is an interesting article posted by the Christian left from thw Huffington Post. I know Jehovah's Witnesses do not teach the rapture (except maybe for the 144,000) so all of them expect to live through the tribulation (whatever that was to them). When I was an IFB, our pastor would regularly talk about the rapture of the church and that we had to be found doing right by God to be raptured up or face the seven year tribulation period. Jack Van Impe ministries would often reinforce this message and preach that if you were left behind then the chances of your making it through the tribulation were slim to none. Though he did get 'new light' and released a video saying that there was a chance, he named it Left Behind and my dumb self ordered a copy just in case.
One thing that puzzled me somewhat was that back in 2009 when I was trying to find the REAL truth, I remember reading on Wikipedia about the rapture. It stated that the concept of the rapture is RECENT (getting its roots in the 19th century) and was not something that people always believed in (or even were aware of). This article points that out.
Let's just say that the scales were beginning to fall off my eyes back in 2009.
