Real Prophecy vs. Watchtower Prophecies

by Perry in

while we had our eyes fixated on our "one-time" idol the watchtower and their false prophecies like the generation of 1914 that wouldn't pass away, 1975 etc.

; a number of real prophecies were unfolding.

we just weren't taught to look for them.

Sorry, but I have a hard time equating secular reforestation efforts with the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.

I do too. Reforestation is driven by both economic means and environmental necessities. Israel is an advanced economy and they can figure it out the needs without reasoning from archaic scripts. Currently a large part of Central Europe is experiencing similar trend, and the region is far more forested in 2016 than was at any time since the middle of the 18th century. People do not use wood as much as they used in medieval times where most the Hapsburg empire was cleared of a majority of its forests.

The spring will peak at my area in the middle of April when azaleas and rhodos bloom. Camellias are generally the first shrubs to bloom because they develop buds in the fall and opens around the spring equinox regardless of frost due specific amount of sunlight. My biggest enemy are squirrels who pics the buds and leave me with nothing. The rhodo pictured above is PJM variety and is the first to bloom together with the forsythia. The forsythia was planted by previous owner, and I do not care much about them. Last year I lost half dozen gardenias because of the late frost. They were planted seven years ago, survived blizzard, but sudden freeze in April killed them. This year it seems that only mountain laurel and one rhodo is write off, but I have to wait for month to see about the rest. My daphne started to bloom again, but it lost a lot of leaves in the blizzard so it does not look too pretty. I fertilized it, so it should leave out shortly.

After week of traveling, we decided to take care the garden. I fertilized it and put weed prevent down, and went to New York and later to California. Today, it was garden time, pretreated lawn was mowed for the first time this season. I reseeded the law and fix barren patches, because it will rain tomorrow. The winter assessment shows that only one kalmia laurel and one rhodo are gone. First rhodos are blooming, so are my spring camellia. I have one with so many flowers that branches are bending, Many tulips and daffodils are blooming, while hyacinths, snowdrops and crocus had bloomed out. Spring in full mode. Cool night, breeze, and a lot of sunshine.

Apathy carts in NoCal

by kaik in

i spent couple wonderful days in napa valley and sonoma with visits to san francisco.

what hits me was the number of apathy carts in the city.

they were at powell station, embarcadero, fisherman wharf, etc.

kaik

I just thought it was funny that there will be several apathy carts in per one metro station. All of them seemed to be served by middle aged while folks, or folks that could be in early retirement. No youngster nor 80 pioneer with foot in the grave. They seemed busy in Powell station as they were stroking conversation with passerby.

Health, fitness and recovery advice

by SecretSlaveClass in

i hope this is okay with you simon, but since i've noticed the number of forum members looking to discuss or seek advice on various health issues i thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to this topic alone.

any discussions or advice on these matters could be put here where any and all would be welcome to jump in with any help they could offer.

i am working on the first questions at the moment taken from the cognac/morpheus weight loss thread.

I was used to be in excellent shape and used to work out regularly. I even trained for marathon. However, past two years I had to skip a gym all together due job and doing my masters in full time. It was coming to priorities. I will be back in gym. I find http://forum.bodybuilding.com to be a great website with good tips on exercises.

Yeah, I am not sure. I was week ago in NYC to visit M-i-L, and I have not seen any apathy carts. I was in SF with my mom three years ago, and I have not seen any of them either. However, this week, I had to seen like dozen of them in the city alone. From Powell metro station to financial district to Fisherman Wharfs.

They were at Powell station, Embarcadero, Fisherman Wharf, etc. Some stations had JWs at every exit. When I was in SF a couple years back with my mom, I have not seen any JWs there, but this time they were clearly present. All of them were mostly middle aged white people.

Remarkably, the regathering of the nation of Israel was predicted –not just in one passage –but in dozens of passages in the Bible. It appears that multiple authors in the Bible (both Old and New Testament) believed that God would restore the nation of Israel as a sovereign state on their original land. In the last fifty years, we have seen this prediction come to fruition. John Walvoord comments, “The restoration of Israel to its ancient land and its establishment as a political government is without parallel in the history of the world.

Nonsense. Majority of Jews lives outside of Israel and many are not interested to live there. As someone married to orthodox Jew, none of my in-laws were ever in Israel and they do not desire to visit it either at this point. Many ultra-orthodox Jews do not recognize state of Israel. On the other hand, Israel has one of the largest atheistic population in the world, where people do not believe any Deity. Also Israel is multi-cultural society with Christians and Muslims living there. Israel is just another country in the world. It has a share of problems like any country in the world. It is funny how many Americans are not aware of them or the media does not make them available like corruption, chronic economic problems, and unemployment rate. From time to time, Israel experience huge strikes where up to 100,000 demonstrated against government for various social and economic failing like any other country on the Earth. Many Israelis also leave the country to seek better opportunities abroad like do other countries.

Happy Resurrection Sunday

wishing everyone a happy resurrection sunday.... from my family to yours!.

In Eastern Europe, Slavs believes that Jesus was raised on Monday. This also the reason why they have Easter Monday and it is a state holiday. If Jesus died on Good Friday and spent three nights as a dead, than the resurrection is counted on Monday. Easter Sunday is called Harrowing of the Hell, when Jesus supposed to release the righteous people from the hell and bring them to the Heaven.

Any case Perry, nice family!

Terrorist attack in Belgium

check the news.

there was a terrorist attack in brussells, couple of bombs detonated in the brussell airport and the metro.. 36 dead so far.. i send my sincerest condolences to the people of belgium.. the motive seems to be revenge for the capture of the last surviving member of the paris terrorist attacks..

kaik

It is crucial to mention that every single country in the EU and Europe enabled these terrorist attacks. From London and Madrid, the political correctness of the liberal-left refused to acknowledge any problem and actually made the situation even worse. Currently there are hundreds of ISIS trained terrorists in Europe who welcomed everyone with open arms without any background check. There will be more deaths and more attacks, but it will change absolutely nothing on the ground.

The liberal-left have to acknowledge they are facing a hostile ideology that is based on religion. They are refusing to see the problems and will rather sacrifice such crucial piece of democracy like freedom of press and speech. They will blame Americans, Russians, and single out everyone who disagree with them as a racist and nationalist. More people will die. I already said under the Paris attack board, how many lives are acceptable for EU left in order to build their multi-culti utopia?
