  This is far more reaching than just a game, you see. There are 1,5 million portuguese emigrants living in France, hard-working, perfectly integrated, and historically have taken all the menial jobs in construction, cleaning, porters ... the french, and the parisians in particular, treat the portuguese with disdain, calling them "les petit portugais" (the small portuguese), and never really aknowledge them as more than cheap labor for 50 years. Over this tournament the french sports press called the portuguese team "filthy", among other endearing terms. So, winning this final at their home, at their lucky charm stadium, on their turnament, against their team, before an audience of 80% french supporters ... is a huge thing, and commands respect. Not to mention that, as far as official games go, Portugal had never won a game against France before, and the only win in a friendly match was in 1975. So... Huge!

  It's rather shocking that, in order to receive an indemnity of 270.000, the legal fees amount to 1.000.000 !! Ridiculous.

  The article has confusing dates.

  The abuse happened in 2000? Or over a period of 5 years in the 80's and 90's?

  Poorly researched article, in my opinion.

  edited: Ok, reading again I think I understood: The victim first reported the abuse to her mother in 2000 when she learned that the perpetrator was to be released from prision from a previous conviction of child molestation. Nevertheless, the article is written in a confusing way.

  Come on WALES....

  if you are romantic, and believe in the underdog, then tonight is an occasion when an extraordinary sporting achievement can become reality.

  i am not saying it's as great an achievement as man landing on the moon, but i hope this thread continues after tonight and concludes with wales beating germany in the final on sunday.

  now that really would be an achievement more remarkable than man landing on the moon,,.. anyone else watching the game tonight?.

  revelation 6:6 kjv.

  6 and i heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.. this prophecy starts to be true in south europe bethels..... according to our sources, bethel families have been asked to reduce their food allowance and even been informed that monthly contribution might not be paid.. meantime, one of these branches is sending millions of € every year as donation to other wt structures, not to mention the 7 digit number on their bank account.

  bethel members are not blind ;).

  So you're implying a collective dismissal of the Bethel family . Those who were sent on their merry way before were left with nothing?

  "Age to Come" Christianity vs. Adventism

  by EdenOne in

  2. beliefs

  i often read that ct russell was more influenced by "age-to-come" christians than adventist christians.

  what exactly is "age to come" christianity?

  what are some of its denominations?

  I had access to another excerpt of "Separate Identity" (I wish I could buy the work, but there's no e-book version):

  Christadelphians and One Faith movement are considered Age to Come churches.

  And, apparently, Age to Come faiths pre-date the Millerite movement.
