Re: [TruthTalk] Update on my father

Interesting story about JW, David. I'll pass it on to my 21 year old son who is struggling with bone cancer/chemo/radiation, etc. himself. Sometime, when you're up to it, perhaps, please comment on the 'gematria' of JWs situation, below. Are you saying his death is a prophetic event (as in the sense of Izzy's comments/belief about the 'gematria' of 9-11)? Aside from Biblical prophecy (which has nothing to do with this--are you saying it does??--) what's the diff betw 'gematria', 'Nostradamus', and (e.g.) 'Heaven's Gate'? Why are you and Izzy (et. al.) so concerned with it(?), esp when you criticize 'Christianity' as (e.g.) 'secular'. Also, ftr, I'm wonderin' about the 'gematria' (etc.) in Mormonism given its bases in Platonism and Masonic thought and its parallels, perhaps, to your/Izzy's fundamentalist thought process(?); DrGT might be interested in considering 'gematria' and the CoC:-)   On Sun, 9 Mar 2003 22:34:28 -0500 "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: <<I mentioned to many of you several weeks ago that I was going to bow my head and pray at 3:03 pm on 3-3-03 because an Internet-wide email suggested for everyone to do this.  I was doing it primarily because it was my birthday, and if so many were going to be praying at this time, I would too.  I went to New Orleans to preach at Mardi Gras, and as I stood on Bourbon Street holding my large banner at 3:00 pm, I bowed my head to say this prayer.  As I did so, a man rushed upon me and pushed me violently against a wall, almost knocking me down, but two police officers had come to stand by me just one minute before this happened.  They immediately grabbed the man and bent his arm behind his back and pushed him against the wall next to me. Unknown to me was that at this very moment, my father was passing away to be with the Lord.>>
