Wonderfu Judith! I hope it’s true!

Or, if we are in the End Times as many Biblical scholars believe, perhaps none will be necessary. Cheers, and good health!

I’ve been hearing this for quiet a while about the End Times. I actually examined pictures of GWB and told my very conservative brother that I was looking for the 666 mark. He said that he didn’t want to stand next to me because he was pretty sure that lightning was going to strike me eventually.

I love to watch the Detroit-based syndicated TV program, “Jack Van Impe Presents”. If you click on this link, http://www.jvim.com/ , it’ll take you to the website, and then click on “TV Program” in the left navigation bar to watch the latest episode on your computer. He’s all about End Time prophecies. It sounds wacko, at first, but the # of prophecies/predictions is astounding. I’ll probably be slammed for this, but it’s just something I like to watch. Cheers.

I’m going to check that out in the morning. I am getting mighty sleepy. It is 2:37 here. I have always been interested in Biblical prophecies. Read a lot about it and actually went to church on Sunday nights for a year because the minister was teaching from Revelations. Diffent churches have their own take on it but it is interesting to listen and wonder. Thanks for the link.

‘The Omen’ with Gregory Peck was one of the great scare movies of the ‘70’s. Remember one night when he was searching his son’s scalp with a flashlight for the ‘666’ mark, when the evil apostate “maid” jumped him? Wild stuff. I never laughed so hard.

Ms. Martin, I wish I had kept the scientific/medical journal indicating if we are able to remain relatively healthy for the next 10 years we will have the knowledge/technology to live to be at least 120. And even older. What makes it appealing is that the body’s cells can be reprogrammed to slow down the aging process. If I don’t have anymore aches and pains than I do now and can still think coherently I wouldn’t mind at all. Maybe by that time space travel will be cheaper and we may even be able to travel like they did on Star Trek. Here’s hoping!

You’re right, Dab. Now that it’s been proven that group-particles can, indeed, travel faster than light, it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

Yep, my husband is a chemist and I am a nurse so we receive journals continously and have a hard time reading all the new advances in the scientific realm. It is a possibility. Can you believe how the Star Trek had the hand held “phones”? “Beam me up, Scottie” and them flip it shut! And Bones, his technology does’t seem so much like fiction does it? I remember having an MRI in the first machine in our town for back pain.That was years after Star Trek.

While watching Nature on PBS at the Monterey aquarium I found that certain sea anemones are capable of living forever—and then I thought hmmmm how do I become part sea anemone lol
