It took place in a 1960s German who won WWII. Very interesting storyline.

I used to play a rpg (role playing game) with some other gamer's called Hitler Victorious, which was based a little on that movie, and also on the shortstory collection "Hitler Victorious". The game was set in the mid-nineties though (which was when we played it). All the characters were either freedom fighters, or full-blown antinazi terrorists. I had the distinction of having a character who was an Algerian born sniper/terrorist that took out the Pope John-Clement in St. Peter's Basilica, when La Costra Nosa got mad at him because he'd made another concordant with the current Fuher against the mob.

It was a fun game, but pretty dark. We all gave it up after awhile.

A congregation I used to go to was needing a new hall (they had no parking at the old one), and was offered a historic landmark church from the city for $1. It was a beautiful old Presbyterian Church, and the city had obtained it somehow, and used it for awhile as local playhouse. After the the theatre group started using some other facility it was facing disuse. The congo wanted it, but they wanted to be able to alter the steeple (take down the cross I guess), or remove it outright. That would have ruined the look of the building, and due to its landmark status, it could not legally be altered that radically anyway.

so they didn't get a $1 Kingdom Hall.

The Cherokee Republic would be in trouble with the UN for not allowing ARMS inspectors into Oak Ridge.

777 vs. 666

by Leolaia in

i've heard 777 or 7777 used as a godly number in christian televangelist hotline numbers, 777music.com is a christian music online store, and the number is supposed to represent an ideally perfect number representing god and his creation.

but it strikes me as a pallid ripoff of 666, and nothing in the bible seems to produce a higher order number above 70 (7 x 10) with 7.

144,000 is of course based on 12 and 10. and contrary to it being such a godly number, it seems to have been the subject to a book on gematria and the kabbalah by satan incarnate himself, aleister crowley.

LT:

Is that part of a Mandama?

I think you may have meant mandala? (If not, I don't know what a mandama is). It is similar to a mandala, but I don't remember the exact name for Hermetic and Qabbalistic charts.

The chart is something of a gnostic aid to hermetic idea that life evolving completes seven revolutions around seven globes of seven world periods, if that makes sense (it never made much to me)

If preaching is so important, why not use the Internet and email? Why Hide?

dear forum:.

just a question i've had for years now.

i opened up the newest watchtower that my mother gave me (the one with the memorial observance on the front) and in one of the articles it mentions an internet site as a reference!!!

They aren't likely to get as many "donations" as they would placing books and mags in the door to door work, even thouhg most of the donation money comes from the rank and file themselves. Also the internet is not a hierarchial platform. If it was, and if access could be controlled top-down, as it can be on other computer networks, then no doubt the Watchtower would be offering an ISP service to its members on a donation basis. All they can do is have their few official websites like an outpost in a hostile frontier.

But they probably do use the internet more then we think. They spy on this forum, for instance. A few years ago they also had (but did not advertise) smtp.watchtower.org. So they were using a mail server. It's since gone silent. Had open telnet on it too. Big security hole, there.

The World Is A Sad Place !!

i think many become witnesses because they are lonely and friendless cast off from the world the same-way the borg casts off its members.. the lonly person is not so interested in "bible truths" but is feeling good about themself because they have a best-friend( there study conductor.

) they have new friends visiting them every week telling them "how special they are" .

they are given preferential treatment even chauffer driven to the meetings where they are loved bombed.

On some level, almost everything we do in life, is to escape suffering and misery. Most of those choices merely perpetuate suffering, or at best alleviate it briefly. Some, like becoming a JW, give the illusion of a cure, but only inflame suffering.

777 has a qaballistic meaning, and is used as a title of sorts in some meditation ritual "Liber 777".

Some further Rosicrucian meanings ;

Prince Bursts Into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

prince, seger make rock and roll hall .

the song was "The One". It wasn't offically a Prince CD. For whatever reason he just called used the band name "New Power Generation" for that cd (which was New Power Soul, it came out a few years ago). What is more scary is the heavilly witness related stuff that followed. The song "The War" is a creepy look into the mind of a talented delusional paranoid man turned talented delusional paranoid witness. Then he helped Larry Graham do the GCS2000 cd (Graham Central Station comeback), and it's equally creepy end title Eye-Ma-Gettin. That CD is as much Prince's work as Larry-G's. It end's with one of the best bass solo's I've ever heard (even compared to George Clinton), juxtaposed to Larry Graham barely coherently yelling "Prepare your spirit for Armageddon! God's War is Armageddon! Prepare your spirritttttt!" then a heartbeat, then a new born baby screaming suddenly.

Wierd. Creepy. Don't like prince no more.

Uh i was off track. "The One" didn't make it very far up the charts. It would be a pretty hard video to find on kazaa I guess, but you might be able to buy it off off of his website.
