    James Thomas Rook Jr. reacted to the Sower of Seed in 2 Types of Worshippers on the Earth   
    There can only be one true way. The GB is feeding the new sheep in their delicate time, many will mature and progress, but never against the Slave that God is using as an administration to speak to His slaves in their imperfection.If you learned the truth apart from them, then you should praise God rather than complain.
    The Catholic Church withheld the Bible and the precious truth Jesus leads people to.The clergy elevate themselves over the common parishioners as the Jewish priesthood did, this is the opposite that the GB has done. They have worked side by side in the ministry that is spreading around the Earth, they extend their hand to shake not to be kissed. The Catholic Church is the epitome of the "false worship" of Christianity, their doctrine has nothing in common with Truth.

    The thought just occurred to me that, if expressed in today's language, it means forgive and try to repair any damage, or depression at being shunned might overwhelm such a person, and he commits suicide.
    Swallowed up by death.

    I suspect that can be reduced to a single page of six paragraphs, and never need revision.

    You made excellent point... question is not should we preach, but what to preach.

    There are good detectives ..... and there are bad detectives.
    .... Bad detectives do not detect much.
    They cannot tell the difference.
    The difference between a Pirate, and a Privateer is whether or not you have a "Letter of Marque", which no one sees unless you need one to keep from being hanged by the neck until dead.
    Knowing the difference between one thing, and a similar thing that to the uninitiated looks EXACTLY the same .... and being able to PROVE it ..... makes all the difference.

    ..probably a dozen or more.
    I do not malign and ridicule theocratic headship.
    They seem to be doing quite well without my help in shooting themselves in the foot.
    ... both feet.

    If in the travails of life, you see no evidence of "Love Never Fails" ... perhaps you should associate with a box of puppies.

    I remember during the Jimmy Carter years the gas shortages.
    You could fill up your tank if your license plate ended in an odd number, on an odd numbered day, and if your license plate ended in an even number on an even numbered day.  If you had "out of state" license plates you could fill up at any time, but not in your home state.
    To me, this entire discussion is like that.
    For 20 years I worked around the East Coat of the US, and kept Texas license plates on my truck.
    I had the original 23 gallon gas tank, and in the bed of my truck, two auxiliary 50 gallon gas tanks, with a three way valve on the floor by my left hand.
    It is my considered opinion that NO ONE has the correct understanding of all these conjectural timelines.
    But then again ... some people never get their dandruff cured ... because they like to scratch it.

    Synopsis:
    So, of the billions of things that happen to people everyday, sometimes wonderful things for which they give God the credit ...you cannot think of a single instance that cannot more probable than not of being just plain coincidence.
    Not even ONE!
    Got  it.
    Perhaps someone else has a verifiable solid instance, but looking at World War i and World War II, as the classic examples .....
    ... I doubt it.

    James Thomas Rook Jr. reacted to Anna in ANOTHER Difficult Doctrine. With a less complex explanation.   
    I agree with you. The problem with this date is that no one can actually prove that it is wrong, but it can't be proved that it is right either. Jesus' enthronement was "conveniently" invisible, so we can claim he was enthroned in1914, in correlation with WW1, because that is when he was supposed to have thrown Satan down to the earth. The truth is, I feel its a little bit like a fortuneteller predicting someones future. You can always find something applicable, and it makes it look like the fortuneteller has got it right.....
     Exactly

    Reminds me of when I was a teenager, still living at my parent's home, and I decided to toughen myself up, I would sleep on an Indian Fakir bed of plywood with about a thousand and fifty nails sticking up, but turning over made me wet the bed, and the nails got rusty. and the screaming kept my mother awake.
    WHOAAA! .... and talk about trying to get fitted sheets!
    ....ever try to get twin size fitted sheets with 1,050 correctly spaced buttonholes?

    César Chávez:
    You are either certifiably insane, or a Democrat Congresswierdo.
    ...merely my opinion, however.
    I believe you would stand in quicksand and deny it, even as you drowned.
