  1. Amen Radar,

    Hope you get better soon.

    It is a little known fact that one of our country's best authors, Ernest Hemingway, was not only a poor speller - his grammar was bad. We know him as a great writer because he always worked with an editor.

  2. I had my doubts about chwester's expectancy statistics so I checked out the WHO's Healthy Life Expectancy table, downloaded it and sorted it.

    Harumpf!

    He's right.

    For all reporting WHO countries the US ranks twenty-ninth in number of years of a healthy life.

    There?s an odd verse, I John 2:28, that few have come to terms with. There are lots of surprises at the Appearing, and not all are fun. I believe we?re at that Appearing right now, and PFAL being revealed as God?s Word is a bit of a shocker to all. When we come back to PFAL we?ll see.


    And now little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

    I John 2:28

    Mike,

    You seem to be saying that the revelation you've received that PFAL is The Word of God is The Appearing of Christ.

    Is that what you mean?

    lovematters, I can assure you that the

    So, lovematters, I suggest you be a little more thorough in your research before criticizing me on things that are very well explained here already. If you don?t, you leave yourself open to the charge of just going along with the crowd and not thinking things through thoroughly.

    I suggest that when you jump on on a thread you at LEAST read the whole page.


    Hey there Mr. Big,

    Where do you get off telling me how to post?

    Stuff your suggestions in the box.

    That's some scary freaky stuff dude.

    Are you sure you know what you're doing?

    Does the phrase "We ought to obey God rather than men" ring a bell?

  7. Since this seems to be the place to go to present wacky theories - herewith my latest:

    Anyone who knows anything knows that Our Late Founder (OLF for abbreviators) was a mean-spirited drunk who stole from Stiles, Leonard, Kenyon et al. After long moments of thought I can now reveal he also ripped off Bishop Fulton Sheen.

    YES! IT'S TRUE!!!!!!!!!

    Bishop Sheen was a true television pioneer who absolutely everybody watched ? not only because he was the only thing on in his times slot ? he was a masterful preacher and teacher.

    Today in living black and white you can see all the mannerisms OLF displayed in 16mm color: The sideways stare into the camera as he walked across the stage, the long pause fraught with intensity - and most telling - the finger brushing against the cheek

    If you don?t get the Catholic channel EWTN call your cable company today!
