could Campings flop snowball?

in 1975, the only way the wt could get the message out was via their own pulp mags, with a few bits of media taking note.

it must be said that it really was not only a flop for the jws, but not even newsworthy by todays standards.

by and large, most of the world were unaware of it all.. but fast forward to the internet and we can see how camping was able to go global in just a few months and reach far more people with the 'message' than jws could have hoped to reach in decades of door knocking.. and global are the repercussions for camping and his followers.

So does Clinton and Carter. Clinton is reported to have earned more than $65 million in speaking fees. Former Presidents get paid lots of money to speak.

this afternoon i had the pleasure of listening to my dad, husband and son discuss timing belts, the teeth they rest on, camshafts, and other car parts that i cant recall at such a late hour.

they were totally engrossed in the conversation and it was fun listening to them talk.

the air was thick with testosterone and they were so manly that i just had to smile about it.

I have been blessed by the wonderful men in my life and that includes the ones on this discussion forum. On behalf of myself and other women, thank you. Thank you for your protection, your love, your chivalry, your passion, for making us laugh, and for your knowledge of automobiles. Our lives are sweeter because of you.

You are such darling.
There is an inner caveman that lurks inside most of the men I've met, and that's a real turn-off.
Here's mine.

So the prophecy failed. So what? Stop making such a big deal. It's not like it's the the end of the world or something.

1 thessalonians 4:15 -17 and then this: we can tell you with complete confidencewe have the master's word on itthat when the master comes again to get us, those of us who are still alive will not get a jump on the dead and leave them behind.

in actual fact, they'll be ahead of us.

the master himself will give the command.

Should Israel cede Land to Palestine at the pre 1967 markers and recognize Palestinian Statehood.

It could be that things are going to get "interesting." According to German news I came across today, the Iranians are building a missile base on the Peninsula de Paraguana.
If you use Google Chrome, you can easily translate the page into a somewhat broken English:
http://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article13366204/Iranische-Raketenbasis-in-Venezuela-in-Planungsphase.html
I've been there, and it is the part of Venezuela that is the most geographically near the continental United States. The missile silos would be built at a depth of over 20 meters underground. Information from the news report says that Iranians are visiting Venezuela with suitcases full of cash (oil profits most likely) to provide funding for the project.
The distance from Paraguana to Washington DC is 2400 miles. Iran's latest missiles are suspected to have the necessary range.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahab-6
I suspect, and this is just a guess on my part, that once the base is finished and operational, it will be time for Iran to strike Israel. Iran's nuclear reactor is close to operational. The Iranians are probably hoping that the US will not join in a counter response, since it would be be under direct threat of missile strikes. I can only speculate what kind of warheads the missiles would have. This is like a repeat of the Cuban missile crisis..
Of course, all this supposes that the report is accurate.
