(a) Jehovah's Witnesses claim the second coming happened INVISIBLY in 1914 and the 1,000 year reign of Christ is a FUTURE event. Does that imply there must be a THIRD coming?
(b) Is this Pre-millennialism or is it a variation of Pre-millennialism, or is it even worthy of consideration?
PRE-millennialism: Christ's 2nd coming/ending of human history. Anti-Christ slain/evil removed then 1,000 years peace on earth when Christ rules his people. Satan freed at end then the final conflict resulting in defeat of Satan.
POST-millennialism: Earthly reign of 1,000 years when gospel preached and spread PRIOR to 2nd coming.
A-millennialism: Symbolic (Greek 'a' meaning without). 1,000 year reign exercised in heaven with Christ and refers to the gospel age between the two comings of Christ.
Definitions of millennialism as given above taken from 'Know the Truth' by Bruce Milne.
JW's - PLEASE resist the temptation to lecture us on your beliefs re 1914 - been there, done that.

Whenever we get any presents off family before christmas (e,g Aunties, and uncles, not parents) We always put them under the tree until Christmas. I think many people do this, and I just wondered if anyone knows why we do this, and where the tradition came from?

Because I try and stop judging and envying and try to forgive and follow what Jesus said but it makes it worse. I have asked God to change my nature but he won't.

I feel that i need to get this off my chest and if anyone out there can help me make sense of what has happened thats cool.
I am not blowin my own horn here but i am an honest caring genuine guy yea i do sometimes wear my heart on my sleeve Iim not perfect i do have faults but who dont.
Goin back to bout 94 or 95 i met my soulmate and for the next ggez was it 8 years anyhow we were in a happy relationship sadly my love passed away thru cancer it was like a bolt from the blue. I was dumbstruck. Took me ages to get over it.
After a while i thought i was ready to be with someone else and move on. I met someone and to cut it short the person turned out to be an alcoholic an a contol freak. I wont go into detail how i was treated but lets say it wasnt good. After that it seemed to go from bad to worse.

who is actually suprised by this, if the police actually spent more time tracking down real criminals,than thinking about where their next bit of stuff is comming from - the crime level may actually begin to fall.

There are several versions and translations of The Bible, and since so many people claim it is the end all, be all of everything, I wonder. Is it the "New World", the Coptic the Greek, the King James or a different one not yet mentioned? Now before you answer think about not only which one you follow if you do follow it, but how many times has the version that you are thinking of been revised, edited and translated at the hands of men.

White men used to be tough. John Wayne, Charlton Heston and Ronald Reagan exemplified a strong male image. But because of the successful attack – by secular progressives like NOW (National Organization of Women who Hate Men), the ACLU, homosexual groups and liberal black leaders – most white males have been emasculated. Years of scapegoating and charges of racism have intimidated whites to the point that they no longer speak out on issues concerning race and morality. White Americans need to stand up for truth with strength and patience. If we can find white people with courage, we can change this country. What is courage? Well, I can tell you what courage is not: 1) Courage is not resenting blacks and complaining to your white friends behind closed doors. 2) It's not tolerating black misconduct, and 3) Courage is not adopting the divisive, politically correct term "African American." As for black Americans, they need to repudiate their "leaders" and let go of past grievances.

Everything has a beginning, and I was just wondering how people from a country, say the Philippines, began to learn the Japanese language. I find it amazing how the first interpreters knew that they were translating correctly. I live in the Philippines. If, for instance, it's Japanese occupation nowadays, how do I understand what the Japanese people are talking about?
