I struggled for a long time in my younger years trying to
understand Christianity, the basic doctrines, the core beliefs,
the philosophies, the essence and contradictions in Old and
New Testament, the behavior of warrior Christian nations,
often wreaking havoc in non-Christian countries (and now again
conducting horrible bombing wars on non-Christian people
in Afghanistan and Iraq), Genesis, Adam and Eve, Noah,
the prophets, the Messiah, the crucifixion, the resurrection,
the many other stories in the Bible, etc..
Then slowly I came to understand several truths described below.
These enabled me to gradually throw off the yoke,
the shackles and blinders of a long childhood indoctrination in
Christianity, and amazingly and steadily and happily and
irreversibly
I BECAME FREE ----- FOREVER ------!

How about 11" by 14" signs that say:
"Your left side brake light is out"
on one side, and:
"Your right side brake light is out",
on the other side, printed backwards,
so they could be read by the driver
ahead, looking in his mirror!
Then, you wouldn't have to get out
of your car, at a red light, to tell
the driver about his shortcoming!

KJV Micah 5:2 .... yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in
Israel; whose "goings forth" have been from of "old", from "everlasting." The word
used here for "going forth" actually means, family descent. H4163 "Going forth" is
the root word of the word "family descent." "Old" is the front part or fore part.
H6924. Everlasting is "owlem" H5769. The vanishing point. There are two vanishing
points, or time out of mind. One before Adam, at the first or fore part, the other is
at the end. You have no knowledge previous to Adam, and you have no knowledge after
the end. The last part of this verse said his family descent was from the first part
in the day of the vanishing point. Basically saying, Jesus was a descendant of Adam.
This verse was "twisted" to make it look like...

Poynting-Robertson Effect
Dust particles larger than about a 100,000th of a centimeter in
diameter form a large disk-shaped cloud that orbits the Sun between
the orbits of Venus and the asteroid belt. This cloud produces
zodiacal light. Forces acting on these particles should spiral most of
them into the Sun in less than 10,000 years. (This is called the
Poynting-Robertson effect.) Known forces and sources of replenishment
cannot maintain this cloud, so the solar system is probably less than
10,000 years old.
This is how the Poynting-Robertson effect works: Rain falling on a
speeding car tends to strike the front of the car and slow it down
slightly. Similarly, the Sun's rays that strike particles orbiting the
Sun tend to slow them down, causing them to spiral into the Sun. Thus,
the Sun's radiation and gravity act as a giant vacuum cleaner that
pulls in about 100,000 tons of nearby micrometeoroids per day.
Disintegrating comets and asteroids add dust at less than half the
rate at which it is being destroyed (a).

TEACHING DELIVERED THROUGH FRANCES M. KLUG ON
MAY 3,1995
"WHAT IS THE MOST REPEATED PRAYER
IN THE WORLD?"
"The Hail Mary"
Why? How?
"The Rosary"
What does this prayer say?
"Holy Mary, Mother of God"
"This very prayer says She Is Divine,
and has to be considered A Part Of The Holy
Trinity. The Holy Ghost -- Holy Spirit, is
obviously Present because of the nature of Its
Intercession and Power."
