Catholics do not believe the 1000 year reign is literal. They believe that the 1000 year reign applies to Christ rule through the Church right now. Millenarianism is a reference to the belief that Jesus' 1000 year reign is a literal reign of 1000 years. The Catholic Church rejected this centuries ago.
I often tell people that I am a recovering Millennialist.

satisfaction beyond music
amelia couple will share its story during this weekend's jehovah's witnesses' meeting
by alberta lindsey times-dispatch staff writer saturday, july 2, 2005 .
Here is a story about a friend of mine who gave up her music career to be a JW. Things did not quite work out very well. I suspect in a few years the same might be said of this couple.

i gave blood as planned yesterday, and it weren't all that bad!
anyone who says it doesnt hurt and feel uncomfortable is telling fibs though!
all that passes relatively quickly, and it's all over within 20minutes at the most.
I got my blood donor card a few months ago. Now I give blood on a fairly regular basis. Just did it last weekend in fact.

P.S. I always thought it would be interesting to have the Associated Jehovah's Witnesses for Reform on Blood People to sponsor a blood drive in one of the major cities the same weekend that the JWs were having a District Convention there. That way they could highlight for the public all of the contradictions in the blood doctrine. They could even say that they are giving blood so that JWs who take blood fractions can receive the stuff they needed even though the JWs are not allowed to give blood for these purposes.
so, i've been sitting at the computer all night long, not really panicked, but definitely disturbed at the thought of what the months to come will entail.. the port-a-cath was "installed" (surgically) on monday, and that was tough.
somehow the lumpectomy last month and even finding out that there was lymph node involvement was okay.
scary, but okay.
before leaving the org were you considered to be a respected member of the jw community?
if you felt that you were, did this make it harder to leave and lose any sense of recognition and importance you enjoyed there?
I had just come back from Bethel when I started to fade. People said that I had been "stumbled" somehow. When I began questioning things etc, I was told that I had the attitude problem and not them and, of course, the questions were all ignored.

since tom cruise has really pushed his "religion", i have to admit, i don't know much about it.
can you give some facts about it?
I actually called on a Scientologist in Field Service once when I was a JW....
Take about the blind leading the blind!!!

does the new pope know what the secret message is all about?
why the silence?
it all started way back in 1916. btw, wasn't that the year charles taze russell died?.
Hi Luna:
Well, in short....the Story of Fatima is what the Church calls private Revelation. This means that Catholics are not required to believe it. However, the Church teaches that private Revelation can strengthen our faith in the public Revelation of Jesus Christ.
At Fatima, three young children had visions of the Virgin Mary. The Virgin Mary shared some visions of the future with them. Evidently, the visions predicted the problems that the Church would have during World War II and also with the Communist gov'ts. The Pope interpreted the 3rd part of the last secret of Fatima to have been a prediction of the assassination attempt on his life and the last seer of Fatima (St. Lucia who died a few months ago) seems to agree with this interpretation.
So, that in a nutshell is what Fatima is all about. The Church obviously approved this private Revelation as being consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church (public Revelation). One of the main messages of the Virgin Mary at Fatima is that Christians and mankind in general need to pray more and seek forgiveness for the sins of the World.
