i just turned on the tv while i eat my breakfast (late one) and two minutes ago, the mountain began a new eruption.
so far it looks like an enormous cloud.
time will tell what is in there.
Kate,
I have been following as best I can, what has been really useful to show people here, are the pics I took while we were there, and the maps/info/etc I got from the vistor center. Kinda puts things in perspective.
All you folks around that thing take care now.
i've had a thing against hearing about "end times prophecies" for some time now, no doubt as a reaction against what i had been raised with by the wts.. recently, however, i had cause to re-read luke 21 in "the message".. it suddenly struck me how we would always use matthew 24 to support 1914, but only dipped into mark 13 and luke 21 occasionally.
you may remember the "tote" watchtower in 1995 (?
) which was used to dismantle the "generation" teaching we'd all previously believed, but there was no parallel study from luke.
I see it all as being very simple.
If all people behaved in the way that Jesus advocated, this world would be a heavenly place to live, we would care for each other, and the Earth, literally 'back to the garden'.
That surely would be tha end of 'This World' or 'This System'.
just heard it on the news.
it's a nice sunny, clear day, and they are saying it isn't a major eruption.
wind is going to the south so we won't get any ash.
suggest a good name for a spin-off religion to the jws.
Believers in The End?
lol.
ok, this probably won't sound like a big deal to some people but i'm pretty chuffed with it .... our washing machine broke earlier in the week, refusing to drain, and we were facing the typical 100+ for someone to come out and fix it.
it's already broken a couple of times (i'm sure they reset some 'breakdown timer' hidden inside .
BTW Simon, from now on, be prepared to often hear the words....
"All I did was turn it on, and............."
lol.

shamus responded to my first post about annoying kingdom songs.
you still crack me up bud.
so do remember who first responded to your first jwd post?
peterstride replied to my post on a thread by Trevor Scott about the WT Library Card.
don't we all love our freedom of speech?
i miss the days when i was growing up when rock groups, singer/songwriters and other types of entertainers spoke out against racism, the vietnam war, etc.
it felt to me like people were more passionate about making the world a better and more fair place.
3. who speaks in his name, .
4. who speaks by his authority,.
12. and who have been divinely appointed and is the organized channel of communication.
Does the Watchtower organization claim divine appointment and inspiration?
Yes..............erm............No............erm................Yes..............erm............No..............
erm..............Yes..............erm............No
Choose one, my head hurts.
just borrowed a wtcd from a friend................ i carn't believe a "non" profit organisation can do this or rather put restrictions on the the coping of the wt cdrom.
isn't there literature distributed free?
then why is make the copying of the wt library for the benefit of declaring the "truth" wrong!
How would they know if you typed a post out from an actual hard copy or copied and pasted off the CD?
Probably by the changes thay make between hard copy and the CD.
