Hey P-Nut! I got all excited for you when I glanced at the pic! I thought it was Sally. I was like "YES!" "What a great pair!" Then I realized that this girl isn't as good looking as Sally. Then I was glad you were joking.

edited to clarify (after reading my post) that I was referring to you and Sally as making a great couple. I wasn't saying that Sally had a gre...well, actually....uh....nevermind.

w90 5/15 page 6.. since megiddo was in the land of god?s ancient people, what happens at armageddon relates to jehovah?s witnesses in this "time of the end.

" (daniel 12:4) har?magedon applies to "the place" to which the earth?s political rulers are gathered in opposition to jehovah and his kingdom by jesus christ.

(revelation 16:14, 16) but that "place" (greek, to pos) denotes a world situation.

w90 5/15 page 6.

Since Megiddo was in the land of God?s ancient people, what happens at Armageddon relates to Jehovah?s Witnesses in this "time of the end." (Daniel 12:4) Har?Magedon applies to "the place" to which the earth?s political rulers are gathered in opposition to Jehovah and his Kingdom by Jesus Christ. (Revelation 16:14, 16) But that "place" (Greek, to´pos) denotes a world situation. Armageddon will occur when a certain situation develops that affects Jehovah?s Witnesses around the earth.

The spiritual prosperity of Jehovah?s Witnesses infuriates Satan the Devil, who will soon launch an all-out attack against these seemingly defenseless Christians. This worldwide assault by Satan, or Gog, is described in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. Under the Devil?s influence, the nations will march against Jehovah?s peace-loving people gathered out of all nations. Yes, satanic opposition will be manifested by global action against Jehovah?s earthly servants, the visible representatives and proclaimers of God?s Kingdom.

A battle is often known by the place where it is fought. Thus, God?s mighty defense of his people can be called the battle, or war, of Armageddon. When Jehovah rises up to defend his servants against Gog?s attack, Armageddon will be in progress! Human governments will collapse. Flooding cloudbursts, devastating hailstones, streaking fire and sulfur, raging pestilences?truly acts of God?will cause world panic outside the ranks of Jehovah?s Witnesses. Their human foes will turn their weapons against their own ranks. And those whom this suicidal warfare does not kill off, Jehovah will annihilate.?Ezekiel 38:18-23; Daniel 2:44.

In terror, every man?s hand will be turned against his neighbor in a frenzied but futile struggle for survival. (Zechariah 14:12, 13) "Those slain by Jehovah will certainly come to be in that day from one end of the earth clear to the other end of the earth. They will not be bewailed, neither will they be gathered up or be buried. As manure on the surface of the ground they will become." (Jeremiah 25:33) Any attempt to remain neutral in God?s war will cost you your life at Armageddon! And as so often proved Scripturally in this journal, the present generation will not pass away before Armageddon occurs!?Matthew 24:21, 34.

So How Good Was Roy Orbison Then?

by Englishman in

i've got loads of his stuff.. i particularly liked him when he was playing with the travelling wilburys.

tom petty, george harrison & bob dylan along with orbison, jamming in a warehouse while singing "handle with care".. yet..i always had this sneaky feeling that he was struggling to stay in tune and that his golden voice covered over the glitches.. i recently downloaded him singing "bridge over troubled water" accompanied by the mavericks.

it's very much orbison as he employs his remarkable timbre to cover the difficult notes, but this time it doesn't come off at all well.. btw, i can only sing in tune after 4 or 5 pints and then i have a sneaking suspicion that my voice stays the same but that my ears become less fussy.. whaddyathink?.

I dug Roy.

Did your elders ever anounce the names of inactive publishers?

by carefully faded in

new castles recently posted a topic asking if there were any specific comments people made that caused us to question or leave the orgnaization.

this caused me to remember one particiular incident and was wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar.

our service overseer came to our bookstudy and did his routine talk on, "you're not doing enough", "what you are doing isn't quality", "do more, more, more" in the field service.
