  A special message for everyone who was young in1969....

  if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things?

  .all evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years?

  as a young person you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

  ecclesiastes 3:8

  : there is a time for peace and a time for war.

  there are some arguments as to weather a christian would fight in military service, or would remain peaceful to all men, up until death.

  The Germans that fought in the 2 World War thought that God was on their side just as much as the British and American's did. I know by watching all the news reels and talking to veterans. It is tragic when some leader tells you that God is blessing you and to go out and kill your fellow humans. Same can be said about those "insurgents" in Iraq. They feel just as religiously that God is on their sides as much as their American occupiers. Do you wonder why I have no use for religion?

  That?s why I find Christianity hypocritical and inconsistent. The Jews of the Old Testament were very war like, whereas the Jesus of the New Testament was very pacify and taught an opposite message of loving ones neighbor.

  I choose not to have guns or weapons in my house. However if anyone broke in I would do what ever I could do to defend myself. I choose to use other means besides violence to resolve differences in my life.

  A good example was last night I was at my local pub and some puke sitting over at the next table that I didn't even know started to mouth of to me. At first I didn't know he was talking to me. If I was back in the 5th grade or had an IQ of a potato, I would have walked over and confronted him. All that would have done was escalated the situation and someone would have got hurt or maybe killed. I did not empower the AS by responding, I just ignored him and he eventually went away. Although if he would have came over to my table it would have been a different story. I know some here would think that is chicken but if I ended up dead, where would have gained me. As

  I recall this so well as if it was yesterday. My dad was a non believer in those days and there was an older sister, in her 50's, that would study with our family and she would say the same thing. It could have been the same article. I remember her stressing to not get a higher education because we would not graduate high school in this system. That article is now 35 years old and that sister has been dead and buried years ago. My sister, who is still a good dub, when I raise this question about all the hype, claims that she doesn't remember. It has taken me years to get the WT brain washing crap out of my head. This is one reason why I have no use for religion.

  Do a search for "Bit Tornado" download and install it. There are a number of Bit Torrant sites but the one I use is www.suprnova.org You need a fairly fast computer, Pentium 4. I have 2.8 gz on mine. Also the video files are fairly large, up to 5 GB, so make sure you have a hard drive with enough space. Make sure you are running a virus scan at the same time. Some of the pop up at the site try and upload crap onto your PC. Depending on the speed of your computer and the number of seeds, it can take up to 3 to 4 days to upload a video file.

  Always look on the bright side of life.

  [whistling]

  Always look on the light side of life.

  [whistling]

  If life seems jolly rotten,

  There's something you've forgotten,

  And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.

  When you're feeling in the dumps,

  Don't be silly chumps.

  Just purse your lips and whistle. That's the thing.

  And...

  Always look on the bright side of life.

  [whistling]

  Always look on the right side of life,

  [whistling]

  For life is quite absurd

  And death's the final word.

  You must always face the curtain with a bow.

  Forget about your sin.

  Give the audience a grin.

  Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.

  So,...

  Always look on the bright side of death,

  [whistling]

  Just before you draw your terminal breath.

  [whistling]

  Life's a piece of shit,

  When you look at it.

  Life's a laugh and death's a joke. It's true.

  You'll see it's all a show.

  Keep 'em laughing as you go.

  Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

  And...

  Always look on the bright side of life.

  I have a fwend in Wome, you know, by the name of Biggus Dickus.

  The crowds were getting him to say Roger and Rederick "Woger and Wederick" and they were all laughing.

  I downloaded it, but haven't watched it. Maybe this thread will encourage me to do so.

  Yeah I have also downloaded the Last Temptation of Christ and will watching that to. Will

  He said how could it be any worse and starts skipping around saying Jehovah, Jehovah. John Cleese says "stop saying Jehovah" and someone throws a rock at John Cleese and hits him in the back.

  Hey I just watched for the first time, Monty Python's "Life of Brian". I know the film is 25 years old but being a Dub we could never watch such a show. It was great the way it made fun of the biblical story of Jesus. It had lots of laughs but not quiet as good as their "Holy Grail".

  One part I particularly liked was when they were stoning the fellow for saying God's name. John Cleese was acting as the high priest reading out the fellows sentence and how the fellow kept saying Jehovah and John Cleese is having a fit telling him not to say it.

  Then the ending when they are all on the cross dying and they start singing, "Always look in the bright side of life".

  I think it is good to laugh at ourselves as I believe there were would be less wars and hate in this world if we took things not so serious. I am sure I will get lots of hate mail on this one.
