  "in a similar way, at the beginning of the 20th century, there were a number of wrong expectations among true christians regarding the last days.

  (2 tim.

  3:1) for instance, in the year 1914, some thought that their being taken to heaven was imminent.

  Same old same old:

  *** w90 10/15 p. 19 par. 20 Be Thankful—Jehovah’s Messianic Kingdom Rules ***
  For 38 years prior to 1914, the Bible Students, as Jehovah’s Witnesses were then called, pointed to that date as the year when the Gentile Times would end. What outstanding proof that is that they were true servants of Jehovah! Yet, like first-century servants of God, they also had some wrong expectations. For example, they expected that the full number of anointed Christians would be raised to heaven by October 1914. They also thought that the war that started in 1914 would lead directly on to the end of Satan’s world.

  Pronouncing things differently so they don't sound rude. Typical CULT persona. Political correctness?

  i noticed over the years how bros & sis(tm) would pronounce words/names differently or totally substitute them so as not to sound offensive.. egs:.

  instead of 'bible aids' a bro(tm) said 'bible helps' thus avoiding aids disease!?!.

  instead of sodom the bro(tm) pronounced it 'sow dom'.

  We always used to say that the best wedding song from the old song book would be
  "Stay awake, Stand firm, Grow mighty!"
  or maybe "I Want To"

  Aah, those adolescent days were such fun.

  the unwary may adopt the same view of theocratic arrangements.

  they may be unwilling to go along with congregation procedures and may even complain about anything not to their liking.

Or they may have reservations about Bible based counsel on entertainment, use of the Internet, and the pursuit of higher education.

  Bible based counsel on higher education? 'Bible based'?

  (sigh)

  We had one elder who always pronounced king Asa as Arse-a.

  And as a youngster I couldn't contain myself when I learned there was a place called Nob.

  Even now that makes me smile - what a juvenile lol.

  any advice about what really works for deep wrinkles/ sun damage?

  the new system is not here, and i worked outside for years without adequate protection from the sun.

  i don't want to be overly-concerned about looks because we all age.

  "Since the things are happening today that Jesus told us about, we know that we are right at the very doorstep of the new world, the world to come. We are moving into the new world. If you try to learn about God in the Bible and try to please Him, you may never die, but move right on into the new world fully and then never have to die."

  Oh, sorry, my mistake.
  That was actually a quote from the Awake! 1927 8/10 p. 729-733 'Growing Up in a New World on Earth' [by F. W. Franz]
