  for the majority of humans, certain events are surrounded by tradition and ritual.

  marriage, the birth of children, entrance into adulthood, and death are all life-events which will be marked by most with a form of religious ceremony.

  for the few who have left off affiliation with a religious organization, these events are marked differently - more by tradition than by mystic ritual.

  It is not hateful to recognize Jehovah's will that this world come to an end. Furthermore, Jehovah's judgments have nothing to do with the Watchtower. The prophecies that determine the fate of nations were recorded hundreds of years before the Watchtower Society ever printed its first magazine. It's Jehovah you gotta deal with, not the Watchtower Society. Bible history has numerous examples of how Jehovah's judgments overtook foolish scoofers and ridiculers. If anything, the Watchtower de-emphasizes the horrible fate that awaits this world when once Christ's kingdom pulls the plug on it. Then you will have no choice but to accept the reality of Jehovah's inescapable judgments. / You Know

  For most of you, going foward, funeral arrangements shouldn't be an issue. The Scriptures say that when Jehovah's judgments finally come against this present system, as they did against previous systems of things in times past, that those laid low will be unceremoniously left on the ground to rot like a carcass. But, apostates can look on the bright side; that at least they will save on funeral expenses.

  Sorry to be so morose.

  it's 4 a.m. here on the left coast, and while i have always been an early riser, this is ridiculous; but i just have to get some things off my chest.

  with the sands of the hourglass down to the last few grains, i want to have a last word with you all.

  first, i want to offer my sincere apologies for all the mean and nasty stuff i may have said during the heat of battle.

  Don't worry man, I have no intention of regularly participating in this type of forum at the present time. But don't be suprised, if, from time to time, YK may lob an occasional odd incendiary into the forum. At weak moments though, I do admit to miss mess'n with the apostate goon squad and driving you into hysterical mouth-frothing fits. / You Know

  the 69th psalm is known as a messianic psalm, as it foretells the documented experiences of jesus during his execution.

  for instance, verse 21 foretells the occasion when jesus was offered gall to drink as he hung from the torture stake.

  however, of particular interest, is the fact that verse five says: "o god, you yourself have come to know my foolishness, and from you my own guiltiness has not been hidden.

  You are confused evidently. The Christians were not destroyed when the Romans razed Jerusalem in 70 CE. Although the Romans certainly killed Christians, the Christians, at least the ones that believed and obeyed Jesus, got out of town when the Romans first surrounded the city and then withdrew in 66CE.

  As for your question: " how do you know it will happen during the great tribulation?"

  There are a couple of indicators that point to the time of tribulation. First, the Psalm refers several times to Jehovah's anointed ones sinking down in a mire do to a "flood." Elsewhere among the prophets, most notably Daniel and Isaiah, reference is made to Jehovah's executioner "flooding" Jehovah's place of worship as well as the world as a whole. Daniel also specifically referred to the Jewish holocaust of 70 CE, likening it to a flood. Secondly, the expression about being "wiped out of the book" has reference to the final judgment of Jehovah. Revelation, as well as Daniel, make reference to a book of life with the names finally being written down of those who remain faithful to God. So, while God's book of rememberance is written in pencil, the fact that names are even symbolized as being written down has to do with Jehovah's final judicial decisions regarding each individual.

  "how do you know that the scripture in Psalms, that you mention in your first paragraph, has a broader application?"

  Good question. It is obvious, in that when Jesus was killed he actually requested God not to charge that sin against them. But in the case of the broader fulfillment of the Psalm, as it pertains to those anointed ones who are guilty of sin, Christ asks Jehovah to blot the names of their persecutors out of the book of life. The difference between then and now, is because the broader application takes place during the tribulation, which is the judgment period. Of course, the Jewish system that was responsible for killing Jesus and persecuting his apostles and other first century disciples eventulaly met up with Jehovah's judgments when they were steam-rolled by the Roman juggernaut in 70 CE. That really establishes a pattern for how it's going to end for the persecutors of Jehovah's people in the modern era.

  The 69th Psalm is known as a Messianic Psalm, as it foretells the documented experiences of Jesus during his execution. For instance, verse 21 foretells the occasion when Jesus was offered gall to drink as he hung from the torture stake. However, of particular interest, is the fact that verse five says: "O God, you yourself have come to know my foolishness, and from you my own guiltiness has not been hidden." Those few among you, who have not forfeited their reasoning ability completely, may perhaps realize that Jesus had no guilt before Jehovah. Therefore, what this indicates, to thinking persons at least, is that the Psalm has a broader application, extending to those who make up the body of Christ---also known as the anointed brothers of Christ.

  So the experiences of the body of anointed ones during the finale parallels the experiences of Christ when he was on the earth. This is verified by Jesus himself, when giving the prophetic illustration of the sheep and the goats, and noting that what was done to his brothers would be counted as if done to him personally. So, the illustration points out that the goats are adversely judged simply because they didn't recognize the brothers of Christ in their plight. The 69th Psalm though adds details missing in the parable, to the effect that some would deliberately, knowingly, war against Christ's brothers. Verse two says of these: "Those hating me without cause have become even more numerous than the hairs of my head."

  As if the script is taken from today's whining apostate rabble, who basically accuse the Watchtower of having defrauded them, the last part of the 5th verse says: "What I had not taken by robbery I then proceeded to give back." So, as it stands presently, it remains to be seen exactly how the over flowing flash floods of good-for-nothing men will temporarily silence Jehovah's Witnesses, but the coming persecution, of which the apostate brood are certain to be in the forefront, will be the determining factor for Jehovah's eternal judgments. That's why the inspired Psalmist, as if speaking for Christ during the judgment says: "Let them be wiped out of the book of the living ones."

  Electromagnetic Pulse Weaponry

  just a friendly reminder, that on any given day, merely one large mega-ton nuclear device exploded high in the atmosphere over the united states, could fry virtually every "unhardened" electrical device in the entire nation.

  numerous prophecies speak about the fall of the oddly yoked anglo-american dyad.

  the only thing at this point that remains unclear is exactly when the downfall will occur and how it will come about.

  Your not believing in electromagnetic pulses is like not believing in gravity. The Watchtower even commented on EMP several times. It is well known that that is America's soft underbelly because we rely so heavily on high tech communications etc. Basically all antennas and high voltage power lines become conduits for a high burst of energy released during a nuclear blast so that it frys all electronic components. That is not to say that an enemy will use it on the U.S., only that it would be foolish of them not to. And of course, if that's Jehovah's will, then it is inevitable. / You Know

Numerous prophecies speak about the fall of the oddly yoked Anglo-American dyad. The only thing at this point that remains unclear is exactly when the downfall will occur and how it will come about. Interestingly, the 11th chapter of Daniel foretells that the king of the north will be "successful" until the end of the world. Daniel 11:36b says regarding the king of the north: "And he will certainly prove succesful until the denunciation will have come to a finish; because the thing decided upon must be done."

  "The thing decided upon" is apparently the fact that the king of the north is going to tyrannize the world as no imperial tyrant ever has before. The denunciation is what is mentioned in verse 44, described as the king going on a genocidal rampage. Interestingly, this king of the north promotes apostasy in Jehovah's organization until the "time of the end," which apparently affects the organization at its highest levels, causing many to stumble and serving to cleanse and whiten the congregation.

  So, as it relates to the use of EMP weaponry, the high-tech Western civilization is totally dependent upon computers and high speed communications. A sudden burst from a nuclear weapon high in the atmosphere would not necessarily kill anyone. What it would do though, is collapse the financial infrastructure of the world at the spped of light. It would also effectively shut down the Watchtower of Brooklyn, New York. Then, it will have to be demonstrated whether one has the faith or not. That's when those having insight will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. / You Know
