  "Millions Now Living May Never Die"?

  "millions now living may never die"

  that is how the september 1,1989, watchtower refers to the 1918 lectures (p.13).

  although the society's watchtower publications index: 1930-1985 makes dozens of references to the book and lectures as ..."will never die" i could not find a single reference to millions now living may never die.

  "Millions Now Living May Never Die" That is how the September 1,1989, Watchtower refers to the 1918 lectures (p.13). Although the Society's Watchtower Publications Index: 1930-1985 makes dozens of references to the book and lectures as ..."Will Never Die" I could not find a single reference to Millions Now Living May Never Die." Page 13 paragraph 10 of the 9/1/1989 WT is quoted below. Survival on earth by some of mankind through this wicked system's catastrophic end and on into Jesus Christ's Millennial Reign was expected by the anointed remnant. Especially was this so after the public talk "Millions Now Living May Never Die" was given at Los Angeles, California, in the war year of 1918. Were these millions of future Har-Magedon survivors to be organized? (Revelation 16:14-16) before being ushered into the Millennium to become part of the "new earth," would they engage in the Kingdom-preaching work along with the remnant? (2 Peter 3:13) These questions would be answered by postwar developments.

  A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the

  man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another

  seat.This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man

  seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing,

  she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested. The case came up

  in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say

  for himself. The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this: When the

  lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat

  under a sign that said, "The Double Mint Twins are coming" and grinned.

  Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, "Logan's Liniment will

  reduce the swelling", and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a

  sign that said, "William's Big Stick Did the Trick", and I could hardly

  contain myself. BUT, your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat

  under a sign that said, "Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this

  Accident"...I just lost it.

  Subject: SANDSCRIPT-Terror in Arabia

  This is a summary of the past few days concerning the terrorist attack on
  the Vinnell-Arabia Compound in Riyadh, Saudi, Arabia. In reading this, it
  should be noted that I was conducting 24 hour operations for night fire
  and
  maneuver training in the desert 70 kilometers east of Riyadh when this
  attack on my company compound occurred.

  At approximately 2300,12 May I was preparing to give a warning order over
  the Exercise Control Group (ECG) Control radio Net, when I heard a single
  loud explosion. Remember, I am 70 Ks east of Riyadh at this time. This
  explosion was then followed by several more over the next few minutes. We
  in the ECG, tent noted the explosions and remarked that artillery training
  was being conducted.
  >
  At exactly 2345, I monitored the senior U. S. Army Advisor make a radio
  call
  for accountability of his subordinate unit advisors. It was at that time
  when we began to suspect trouble was in the wind. We continued to work the
  deliberate night attack exercise through the night with an occasional
  update
  of the terrorist attack from the personnel who were connected to Vinnell
  Camp by cell phones. As daylight came, we were then give the unvarnished
  picture of the utter devastation we were to see when we returned to camp.
  No building within our six square block compound escaped damage. The roof
  to
  my living quarters was completely collapsed, my windows were blown in and
  my
  front door was on top of my bed. Immediately after arriving, I was told
  that
  I would be part of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) all other camp
  personnel (approx. 300 +) were to be transported to a larger more secure
  compound. As I walked down to "Ground Zero" to see for myself, the damage
  only increased in magnitude. Most roofs in the six square block of the
  compound were peeled back and most rooms looked like rubbish bins filled
  with roofing tiles, insulation, overturned furniture, and structural
  timbers. My office, which stood one block from the epicenter of the
  explosion, was completely gutted and caved-in. Ground zero was directly
  at
  the front entrance to the major American billeting area, High Rise No. 1.
  This obviously was the focus of main effort for the terrorists.

  Debrief of the eyewitnesses, clearly shows how well trained and informed
  the
  terrorists were. A sedan (similar in color and make to one of our high
  level
  manager's) with five terrorist occupants inconspicuously negotiated the
  cement turning obstacles, dismounted at the left gate and immediately
  killed
  the Saudi soldier manning the Cal. 50 machinegun and wounded two others.
  The vehicle and windshield of that vehicle clearly took 50 or more AK47
  rounds. Once the 50 Cal machinegun was neutralized, one terrorist entered
  the gate control booth, turned the gate key to open the heavy roll-back
  security gate and pushed the button to drop the retractable barrier. A
  pickup truck loaded with the bomb soon arrived at the now opened right
  gate.
  Two of the initial five terrorists then mounted the truck which quickly
  drove to High Rise No. 1 and immediately without hesitation detonated
  themselves and the bomb. The remaining three terrorists then fired,
  maneuvered and threw grenades through the camp to the opposite side of the
  compound and escaped over the compound wall.

  After the attack, the one terrorist vehicle left at the front gate was
  examined and was found to contain many more grenades and many double
  tapped
  AK47 magazines. In my opinion, their intent was to kill as many personnel
  as
  possible in the streets after the explosion. That part of the plan
  obviously
  came apart when the sedan (support vehicle) couldn't get through the left
  security gate.

  There can be no doubt that this terrorist group was well trained, well
  informed and had rehearsed their plan to near perfection. There is also
  much
  evidence to indicate that there was inside information and assistance. The
  terrorists knew which key to turn and what button to push in order to open
  the front right security gate and lower the barrier. They knew which
  building to hit in order to inflict the maximum number of casualties on
  Americans. Finally, the terrorist's exit point from the camp was
  inconspicuously prepared with a 55-gallon drum and brick to facilitate
  their
  escape over the wall. The resulting casualties were 7 Americans killed,
  two
  Filipinos killed and 100 or more wounded, 11 of which remain in hospital.
  As
  if this horrific destruction wasn't enough, the shamal (wind and sand
  storms) have been miserable. It was at its worst during SecState Colin
  Powell's visit. Honestly, you could hardly see your hand in front of your
  face while he was here.

  Post script, Our Saudi counterparts are extremely embarrassed and ashamed
  by
  this attack. Many Islamic personnel are among the wounded. Many of which
  are
  my friends and close training associates. Two in particular are former
  Egyptian Generals and are very professional trainers. It has been a tribal
  belief that in the Islamic world, you are safe if you are under a Muslim's
  tent, even if you are considered the enemy. This attack represents an
  attack
  on the Saudi Royal Family as well. Time will tell if they are willing to
  get
  serious about finding, fixing and destroying such terrorist groups.

  FRENCH UNIFORMS

  A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one battle, the French captured an English Major. Taking the Major to their headquarters, the French General began to question him.

  The French General asked, "Why do you English Officers all wear red coats? Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?"

  In his bland English way, the Major informed the general that the reason English Officers wear red coats is so that if they are shot, the blood won't show and the men they are leading won't panic.

  And that is why from that day until now all French Army Officers wear brown pants.
