Thanks! I'm soo tired, but I'll stay up and watch it.


While you're here, your Sanctuary Study has thrown up yet another "a-ha!" moment for me! I've never realised that the lampstand was a figure for the burning bush! Wow! And the heavenly oil flowing down the olive tree into our bowl....brilliant stuff.

I should make a lot of progress through it before midnight.

Jon

Which subject are you on?

Yes the study on the sanctuary is inexhaustible. The things I learned and thought of is like a drop in the ocean.

Are you sure you're atomic clock is correct? I am on GMT, definately 22:04 here now, or roundabouts. I'll try and look up the time differences on the net.

Jon

Edit: It's daylight savings: You are five hours behind, but technically 4. Confusing.

Are you sure? Look at this page. http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

Its 17:49 new york time. GMT is 21:49.

Wierd.

Although I know I'm too late to tell you this, and you probably already know..you're always 5 ahead of est. :) I have other friends in the UK and am used to converting it. I never even considered daylight savings time before, and it never mattered.

If you could get a debate or round table it would sell hugely in the SDA western world.But you can't seem to get the SDA establishment people to do it. A couple of years ago we tried hard to get Cliff Goldstein to debate us online at Atomorrow.com over just the question of a day for a year. But he would not, he made a few reference to Shea and that was it.

They will write books but as we all know books lead the reader through a thought process the writer desires. So they don't really provide the type of counter argument of a debate.

I followed you guys on Adventist Tomorrow when you were going at it with Cliff Goldstein RC.

It was something alright. The poor guy was like a gazelle being devoured by a pack of lions. Cliff took it well though. He just said that the posters on Adventist Tomorrow "eat thier own dead" and laughed it off. :D

Ice--I believe I was addressing Night--not you.

Besides, this thread was about a televised event, MONTHS ago. What possible use could it have now except to be used by the enemies of those adhering to the traditional teachings of the SDA church?

I don't recall asking for your opinion on the matter nor do I recall giving any indication that I could care less about what that opinion might be.

No one is forcing you to read the thread. If you don't like it, there's the door. Bye, bye. :wave:

And WHERE EXACTLY did I 'derail' this thread BTW? Don't you ever get tired of your false accusations against me? I guess not.

Here was my FIRST POST on this thread:

I'll pass on Batchelor's Amazing Propaganda, thanks anyhow. Especially the lecture Power In Purity, which I am sure will have Joe Crews' heretical, perfectionist fingerprints all over the it. Doug's target audience are the conservatives, so he does not speak for every segment of Adventism by a longshot.

I am, however, looking forward to Shawn Boonstra's Out Of Thin Air series:

http://www.thinairevent.com/flash/

A timely topic that will be sure to attract non-Christians. :thumbsup:

http://christianforums.com/showpost.php?p=38542582&postcount=15

Totally ON TOPIC with the OP!

You then came at me with this tripe:

Ya know Night, when I was a kid, my Mom used to tell us that if we couldn't say something nice about someone or something, then it was best to say nothing at all. Did your Mom ever tell you that?

This thread wasn't intended for crude remarks against Doug Batchelor or Joe Crews. I find it very rude that you would attack these men as you did and especially since one is dead.

If you felt that this announcement held no interest for you, then why didn't you just pass by without comment?

http://christianforums.com/showpost.php?p=38544364&postcount=18

Once again in fine form, you come in with your wails and cries of 'personal attacks' when anyone with a brain can clearly see I was doing no such thing to Doug in my above post. It was the content of the lecture series I had issues with, but of course, you deliberately ignore that and go off on some rant about theology and the person being one! :doh:

So WHO derailed this thread? It sure wasn't ME! :|

So, nice try with the false charges, but once again you are exposed for how you deliberately misrepresent me.

As for Crews, his books nearly destroyed my Adventist experience and spiritually abused me in ways you will never understand. Dead or not, I will call his putrid salvation theology for what it is.

Sounds pretty personal to me.
