A bit of background (this was a shocking crime for us in Australia)

"Queensland police say a deadly shooting in the rural community of Wieambilla was a "religiously motivated terrorist attack" and that the trio responsible were influenced by an extremist Christian belief system...(Nathaniel, Gareth, and Stacey Train acted as an autonomous cell and executed a planned "attack directed at police")

... investigation into the Train family had now concluded they were religious extremists who subscribed to "a broad Christian fundamentalist belief system known as premillennialism".

 

What is premillennialism?
Premillennialism is the belief that after a period of extreme suffering, Jesus Christ will physically return to Earth for 1,000 years.

"In its basic interpretation, there was a belief that Christ will return to the Earth ... and provide peace and prosperity but it will be preceded by an era, or a period of time of tribulation, widespread destruction and suffering," Deputy Commissioner Linford said.

"They started preparing for the end of days.

"Christian extremist ideology has been linked to other attacks around the world, but this is the first time we've seen it in Australia."

"It is a Christian belief that in effect, the world is so corrupt, so evil, so beyond repair that at some point, in the near future, we're facing the implosion of the world effectively … an apocalyptic event and that Jesus will return to Earth".

I know USA and Europe has had religious extremism terrorist attacks, but this is "Christian" extermism specifically regarding a corruption of the millenial hope.  It's the exact opposite of what Jehovah is offering us with Jesus.  What a Satanic thing.  BUT, are we not surprised, even if this shocks us. 

 

Just a heads up, friends.  Maybe this is how the authorities will one day come to suspect us as one of those wackos too.

Yes I would agree it’s just a matter of time before authorities in Australia United States, Britain and virtually all countries ruled by democracy, where now currently religious rights are respected. But soon very soon this will come to an end. 
Now is the time to be zealous in the telling people about the kingdom. Because soon we will have a judgment message to proclaim.

 I think she said 1000 days that Jesus was supposed to return for, not years. They can’t even get that correct when the Bible provides the detail.

Oh wow. While in the kitchen, I was playing in the background this documentary about various evangelical and national christians in the US, when I turned and saw that they had included interviewing a brother and sister in cart witnessing service! Approximately at the 11:40 sec. mark. At least they blurred the jw.org part with the interview with the sister. False representation to the core.  

 

 

- Read the Bible daily 

  Phil.2:5

Daydream -

Scientists have discovered that daydreaming is an important tool for creativity. It causes a rush of activity in a circuit, which connects different parts of the brain and allows the mind to make new associations.

Oh interesting, that's Leesburg in Florida, next to the Villages. It's the District that Laura Loomer tried to get the Republican nomination for, but lost.

 

Anyway, you can see two of our faithful sisters doing the trolley witnessing on Google Streetview in the same place, by the clock :)
