  Ayn Rand seemed really profound when I was an undergraduate. I read several of her books. But I grew up and got over it.

  Shakespeare said that brevity is the soul of wit. If that is true than Fred Franz was the most dim-witted of men. Fred would never say in ten words what he could say in ten thousand.

  Are the nations and their rulers at fault for not recognizing Jesus' invisible rulership?

  this week's congregation bible study focuses on chapter 18 of the come be my follower book.

  paragraph 8 was a real gem, as well as the comments from the audience when going over that paragraph.

  i'll type paragraphs 8 and 9 for you to read along with the ensuing questions.. 8. jesus was granted still more autority in 1914. in that year he was appointed as king of jehovah's messianic kingdom.

  Jehovah's Witnesses believe that in the year 1919 Jesus Christ chose a printing company in Brooklyn run by an alcoholic Missouri lawyer as his sole representation here on earth. I just can't understand why everyone in the world does not recognize this simple fact.

  interesting:.

  the great recession and the slump that followed have triggered a jobs crisis that's been making headlines since before president obama was in office, and that will likely be with us for years.

  Isn't is fascinating that their is a direct correlation between the shrinking of real wages and the shrinking of union membership? Who could ever have imagined a coincidence like that !!!!!!!!!!

  I don't think we need unions anymore. We can count on Corporate America, Wall Street, and the Republicans to always put the well being of the American worker ahead of profits.

  TOP TEN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MORMONS AND JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES

  10. Mormons abstain from coffee. Witnesses take frequent coffee breaks.

  9. Brigham Young said to be “filled with the Spirit.” Judge Rutherford said to be “filled with spirits.”

  8. Mormon Tabernacle Choir ---- Pre-recorded Kingdom songs

  7. Joseph Smith discovered gold plates. Charles Russell discovered printing plates.

  6. Mormons established BYU, a world-class university. Witnesses established Theocratic Ministry School.

  5. Mormons urged to form close-knit family. Witnesses urged to shun family.

  4. Mormons abstain from wine all year. Witnesses abstain from wine once a year.

  3. Mormons have “Divine Revelation.” Witnesses have “New Light.” (Okay so that’s not actually a difference)

  2. Prominent Mormons include doctors, lawyers and governors. Prominent Witnesses include janitors, pool cleaners and multi-level marketers.

  1. Mormons don’t stand in front of deserted strip malls at 6:00 AM mutely displaying the Book of Mormon and try to convince you they’re “preaching.”

  Jeff, you are a false prophet. Tiger didn't win the PGA (I think this may be one of the signs of the end, right up there with the Cubs winning the World Series). Anyway do read "1984" along with Barbara Tuchman's book "A Distant Mirror."
