I think I said earlier that you sounded as if you may be of the WWCG.

“A Higher Calling: Quest for the Kingdom of God” mentions how God called me into His Church during the days when Herbert W. Armstrong was courageously teaching the plain truth around the world, announcing the good news of the Wonderful World Tomorrow, the Kingdom of God that will soon be established with the return and reign of Christ.

The present WWCG doesn’t claim them as their own doctrine any more.

Rather, God doesn’t claim the WCG as His Church any more, as that apostate organization has returned to the traditional vomit of Babylon that many had escaped. It is now part of the Synagogue of Satan. God isn’t associated with it in any manner, shape or form.

He did not teach the plain truth of the Bible.

Then you’ve never read the Bible without your traditional blinders. Try it, so help you God.

He taught that God is a family…

The Bible teaches that God is a family. Why don’t you believe the Bible? Herbert W. Armstrong taught the plain truth of the Bible.

Ephes. 3:14-15
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole FAMILY in heaven and earth is named…

Don’t you know what a Kingdom is but a Royal Family that rules over a specific territory, administering specific laws? Yeshua came preaching the Kingdom-Family of God that will soon administer the Law of God, the government of God, over the Earth and throughout the universe. Won’t you repent and believe the good news that we can be born again into the Kingdom-Family of God at the resurrection at Christ’s return?

“…that Jesus did not exist before His birth in Bethlehem”

That’s a lie. Why do you repeat such nonsense?

Here is one of many examples of how Herbert W. Armstrong clearly taught that Yeshua was the Word with God in Heaven before he was divested of divine glory to become human so we could become divine:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men (John 1:1-4)…”

“So here we find revealed originally two Personages. One is God. And with God in that prehistoric time was another Personage who also was God; one who later was begotten and born as Jesus Christ. But these two Personages were spirit, which is invisible to human eyes unless supernaturally manifested. Yet at the time described in verse one Jesus was not the Son of God and God was not his Father. “

Who and What Is God?

“…that water baptism is essential for salvation”

The Scripture says repent and be baptized. Why don’t you believe the Bible?

“…that we must work to earn Heaven”

Herbert W. Armstrong believed the Bible and taught “the meek shall inherit the Earth” - just like Jesus. Why don’t you believe the Bible? Why fall for the traditional lie about “going to Heaven?” Herbert W. Armstrong knows we are saved by grace alone, that we are pardoned and empowered, that Christ is to live in us as we exercise faith and works:

Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

May you repent of spreading lies about God’s faithful servant, Herbert W. Armstrong; repent of misrepresenting God, Jesus Christ and Christianity with your traditional Babylonian Mystery religious error; repent and believe the Gospel and be saved, so help you God.

The interest rate of the loan that you purchase is a very important number. This number will tell you just how much you will be paying for your purchase in the long run. See, it is not just that you are borrowing $5000. You are borrowing $5000 with an interest rate figured in. This is a much higher number than originally thought, then. Yet, this is the cost of borrowing money. One thing is for sure, though, you can find the right choice for your needs by comparing the interest rates that are offered to you.

To do this, take some time to get rate quotes for the type of loan that you are looking for. If you are looking for secured financing such as financing for a home or a vehicle, this rate is generally lower than that of unsecured financing of a credit card or some personal loans. In any case, you will find that many lenders will provide you with an online quote of how much the financing will actually cost you. They will provide you with a quote as to how much of an interest rate you can qualify for. Do this with several lenders to find the lowest rate options for your needs.

From here, use a loan calculator to help you to determine which the best is for you. You will want to enter such things as a the interest rate that was offered, the term of the financing which is the length of time it will take you to pay the money back as well as the amount of money that you will be borrowing. The calculator will then tell you just what you can expect from the financing at this point. It will include what you will pay in total in both interest as well as principle for the financing as well as telling you how much you can expect to pay for the financing monthly.

Of course, finding the lowest rates of interest on a loan is essential to affording the financing both monthly as well as in the long run. You can change the criteria of the financing as well. For example, if you need to lower the amount of money that you pay per month on the borrowed funds, you may want to extend the terms of the financing to make them longer. If you would rather pay less, then shortening them will help. By far the best way to cut your costs in the financing, though, is to use a lower rate of interest. For that reasons you should always shop around for the right choice.

With so many options offered to you right on the web, there are many benefits that can come from you purchasing financing here. By simply taking the time to find the options that are available to use, using one of the calculators to help you to figure them all out in plain English you can actually find yourself saving money in the long run. The right loan is the one that you can afford to own.

With bad credit, getting a loan can set you up to pay high rates and
fees. You also have to deal with shady lenders, wanting to scam you out
of your hard earned money. Fortunately, with online financing companies
you can overcome these obstacles to find a reasonable rate on a home
equity loan.

The Problems Of Bad Credit

Getting a loan with bad credit limits your credit options. Usually only
subprime lenders are willing to approve loan applications with adverse
credit. You also have a harder time opening new credit lines. And those
that you do open usually have much higher interest rates.

The lower your credit score, the higher rates and fees you can expect
to pay. Based on your past payment history, lenders assume you will be
at a higher risk for missing payments or foreclosing. However, there are
ways to offset these factors and improve your loan’s rates and terms.

How To Overcome Poor Credit Obstacles

Home equity loans offer you some of the cheapest credit options. Based
on the security of your home’s equity, financing companies will offer
you relatively low rates when compared to credit cards or personal
loans. You can choose to receive your money as a lump sum or as you need it
with a line of credit.

To improve your rates, select an adjustable rate loan with reasonable
caps. You can also lower rates by selecting a shorter payment schedule
for your loan. Applying online for a home equity loan can also save you
money on rates and fees with some lenders.

Protect Yourself From Paying Too Much On Rates And Fees

By far the best way to protect yourself from unscrupulous lenders and
their unfair loan costs is to do some comparison shopping. Comparing a
number of loan quotes will help you decide which companies are offering
the lowest costing loans.

Be sure to also read the fine print to make sure you don’t get stung on
unexpected fees or charges. For example, if you are planning to
refinance in a couple of years, make sure you don’t have to pay an early
payment fee, which can run into the thousands.

A little time spent researching lenders now will save you money for
years to come.

Plan to refinance your auto loan but have bad credit? You can still
find financing at reasonable rates by searching online for your lenders.
Researching rates and terms will lead you to a good deal, saving you
money each month. Increase your odds of getting approved for the best
loans by following these tips.

Think About A Co-Signer

The better your credit score, the better your rates. So if you don’t
have great credit, look for someone who does. By having them co-sign for
your loan, you can find yourself qualifying for much better rates.
Lenders look at your co-signers record, but you pay for the loan.

If you are a couple, you may also choose to use the person with the
best credit score to apply for the refinance auto loan. You can find out
who has the better record by requesting your credit score online.

Update Your Credit Report

While you can’t change your credit report overnight, you can be sure it
is in the best condition possible. Take a few minutes to review your
free copy and make sure all information has been updated. You may also
want to include an open letter explaining any reasons for your bad credit
score. Mitigating factors, such as a job loss or illness, are sometimes
considered by lenders.

Eliminate Old Debt, Hold Onto Cash Assets

Besides your payment history, lenders also look at your debt and cash
assets when considering your loan application. The less debt you have,
the better you look to lenders - especially if you have a high income.

Cash assets are also important. Lenders like to see at least six months
of cash reserves in the bank. This can mean a savings account, money
market, or CD.

Be Honest With Your Information

More than likely, you will be approved for refinancing. What rates you
qualify for depends on your information. So to get the most accurate
loan estimate, be honest about your credit background. That way, when you
actually apply for the loan, you will be approved for the rate quoted.

Remember too that not all lenders charge the same rate. A careful
search will bring up favorable rates, even for those with poor credit.
Sub-prime lenders often provide loans on a point or two above conventional
rates.

The use of computers was introduced immediately after its launch by loan providers to ease their operations. Internet technology that resulted in the emergence of the online loans was introduced later. Necessity is the mother of invention. The adage aptly holds in case of online loans. Borrowers always suggested a method wherein there participation in the loans process is minimised. Lenders too needed an online loan to lessen their own workload.

An online loan came to benefit both the borrower as well as the loan provider. The ease with which online loans resulted into will be best illustrated when compared with the scenario that prevailed before its inception. A borrower was required to be present at the loan provider’s office for all the documentation. The situation became more troublesome when the period of operation of the loan provider matched the office timings of the individual. This excludes the plight of common borrowers who had to visit several lenders to check their loan offering. There was no other manner in which the borrower would have conducted the search in those days. Most borrowers who could not have borne the inconveniences of the process unwillingly accepted the offers that came to them, with full knowledge that they could have received better deals.

The benefit to the loan provider accrues in terms of the decrease that online loans have brought about in the paperwork. Details of each borrower needed to be documented. This would often be too time-consuming. Besides, there was unnecessary wastage of stationery and required the employment of personnel to undertake the job. An online loan saves for the borrowers on all these counts. Details of the borrower are received along with the application form. Duplication of work is made redundant and thus saves time as well as cost incurred by the loan provider. If the cost incurred in arranging an online loan is low for the loan provider, then it will willingly offer the loan at a low cost.

Online loans have become very popular now. People still hesitate in dealing with a virtual loan provider. There are basically two aspects to this hesitation. Firstly, there is the issue of reliability. People still need a personal bonding with the loan provider before acceding to the loan agreement. To make the process of awarding online loans more personal, some loan providers allow easy access to its representatives. Borrowers can easily consult the experts for getting justification on important issues related to the online loan.

The other issue that may affect the borrower’s decision to get an online loan is of safety. The online scams that are regularly in news often are behind the vacillating decision. However, most loan providers make more than sufficient endeavour to ensure that the safety of the borrowers’ information is upheld. The details of the borrowers are stored in a secured server to prevent unauthorised access. The latest encryption technology is used to ensure that borrowers get the maximum security of their data. Borrowers are also wary of the marketing companies that are forwarded their details for undertaking their marketing campaigns. This is expressly prohibited under Data Protection Act of 1998. Relevant bodies have been set up where a borrower can complain about such misuse of the personal information.

The delay in approval that most borrowers complained of earlier can be done away with an online loan. The search for matching loan offers starts immediately after the request for online loan is received. When processes are conducted online, they may be conducted simultaneously to lessen the time involved. A faster approval means a faster sanction of the loan amount to be employed instantly to the purpose.

Almost every major lending banks and financial institutions in the UK have introduced the online loans. Now every website gives borrowers the option to fill up the application form after studying about the loan provider and the loan they require on the website. An added advantage of the online loans is that borrowers can strike out the inappropriate loan providers by just looking at the information that they provide on the internet. To get a more realistic feel of the structure of the online loan, borrowers can request an online loan quote. The loan quote states the rate of interest, monthly repayments and such other details about the loan. And all of these without incurring any obligation to accept the deals being offered by a particular loan provider.

“People on this night are going to be on several different levels. No doubt we are on the lowest level, so we are hoping in this night to attain the honor and illumination granted in it. When we reach a higher level and as it is a holy night in the heavens as well, we will begin to sense something [of the great power being manifested] on this night. Whoever is at the highest spiritual level must be present for this night in the Divine Presence of the Lord.” http://www.crescentlife.com/spirituality/laylat_al_qadr.htm

“Sources in the defense establishment believe tomorrow will be the day on which the Palestinians will ask to disconnect Arafat from life support and announce his death. Tomorrow night marks Lailat al-Kader, the night Muslims believe God revealed the Koran to the prophet Mohammed. The death of the Palestinian leader on that day will, therefore, be symbolic.” http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/498629.html

“The bill specifically forbids Arafat from being buried anywhere in Israel. “Because of his disease,” the bill reads, “the State of Israel allowed Arafat to leave for the sake of medical treatment. This bill requests a ban on his return to Israel or to the Palestinian Authority areas, whether to stay or to pass through. The bill also wishes to prevent his burial in these areas, lest the site turn into a pilgrimage attraction, a symbol, and a source of inspiration for the war against Israel’s existence.”" Arutz-7 news: Tuesday Nov 9, 2004

“”We chose Ramallah because it is close to Jerusalem, where we are hoping to bury him in the near future,” said Hassan Khraisheh, deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council and member of a special committee entrusted with overlooking the funeral arrangements. Palestinians said that after Arafat would be buried there, a mosque and monument would be built inside the compound.” http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/P rinter&cid=1099973628375&p=1078113566627

“Sha’ath said there is no talk of removing Arafat from life support. “We are not really believers in euthanasia. The man is not suffering; he is in a coma … It’s out of the question that anybody is thinking of taking any such decisions,” he said.” http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/11/09/arafat/index.html

Waiting till the Night of Power to pull the plug on Arafat’s life support would have effectively placed him on the “highest spiritual level” quoted above, and therefore, “in the divine presence of” allah. However, as the PA officals didn’t remove his life support, even his burial in Ramallah, complete with a mosque and monument to boot, will do one of two things in the minds and hearts of Muslims worldwide who revered Arafat in this life.

1) Arafat will be elevated to prophet status, and his teachings, sayings, decrees, etc, spread throughout the Islamic world, and be followed even more devoutly than in his lifetime. Thus ensuring PA leadership, that their goals to wipe out the Jews and Christians wherever they may be found, will be carried out in even greater numbers, dedication, and determination than in the past.

In this situation, pulling the plug on Lailat al-Kader would have been a ploy to ensure that policies, goals, ideology, and commitment to Arafat’s cause is further entrenched and carried out. Such a ploy would have taken advantage of Muslim thought and desire on this day, and basically forcing what many call “the new Islam” down everyone’s throat, as refusal to honor a prophet brings harsh discipline.

Burial complete with mosque and monument will very likely do the same thing in the minds of the moslem people, as not only will they come to mourn, but also come to worship.

2) Arafat will receive the burial fitting for a prophet, and many will come merely to mourn his passing, but no elevation to prophet status will occur.

This is less likely to happen, as in order to have his death be symbolic on the night of Lailat al-Kader, moslems would have to admit that Arafat was spoken to by allah himself, and that his death is a sign that his words are to be whole-heartedly honored and obeyed.

It’s bad enough that the IDF is bracing for riots and increased violence in PA-controlled areas following the news of Arafat’s death. But to have millions of moslems suddenly claim Arafat as a prophet will make matters worse for Jews, and Christians around the world. It’s already bad enough that a BBC reporter cried over his release to a Paris hospital. The added sympathy, honor, mourning, and allegiance to his teachings will only congeal supporters world-wide as well.

I see therefore, a potential polarization of East versus West, of People of the Book versus Islam in the coming days. Saudi Arabia is already treating the war in Iraq as a holy war. PA-bred terrorists are already in Iraq killing Americans and other national groups the same way they’ve been killing Jews in Israel for years.

Arafat is not another Louie Riel(http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Pa rams=J1ARTJ0006837), to be decried, then enshrined, then decried, then a statue built, repeatedly going from hero to villain and back again. Arafat, plain and simple, is a villain on a massive scale. He will be a hero to the strain of Islam he revived and its sympathizers, and a villain to those who don’t adhere or sympathize with his ways and teachings.

I say be watchful in coming days. Whether intended by the PA leadership or not, Islam may have just turned a corner. Jews and Christians beware.

free casino games

So maybe you haven’t grasped betting house card-playing, you’ll find more about that here —

For clarity’s sake: a casino is a building that features card-playing. Patrons will test their luck handling the one-armed-bandits or trying out different gambling games. Gambling house games in the main have numerically derived balances included that promise the gaming house preserves an upper hand above the betting aficionados.

Very many gaming hall games may cause you to get hooked rapidly. Case in point being the famous one-armed bandit, a coin operated appliance with three cogs which orbit when a handle on its flank is moved. The machine on the whole reimburses corresponding with a set arrangement of pictograms discernible on the lit panel of the instrument. Disastrously, gaming room pastimes strive to create a hallucination of mental power, effectively deluding the gamester - the victim is ceded decisions, but these cannot remove the client’s fundamental negative odds. That is induced by the casino not refunding the full stake as expected. This systematic process is often noticeable in well known casino games like seven card stud, dice, roulette or blackjack.

Stud poker is indisputably a highly trendy casino pastime. The gambling buffs, holding either fully or partially hidden cards, make wagers into a central pot which is ultimately given to the prevailing player possessing the best combination of cards. (As everybody knows, the best bluffing hand may well prevail)

Resembling seven-card stud poker, blackjack too is an immensely fashionable casino pastime. Much of its is due to the mix of luck and competence and decision making, not to mention a trick dubbed “counting”. The aforementioned is a highly sophisticated gambling tactics in which gambling fans may force the winning odds of the card game for their own good both by betting & strategic decisions in accordance with the hands dealt.

“Craps” is the name of another famous game using the roll of a couple of dice. Gamblers can place stakes on the outcome of of 1 cycle, or on a sequence of rolls on two dice. Very much unlike blackjack, there’s no available winning system you could exercise to boost the chances.

Roulette is another eminently popular casino based gambling pastime; a croupier rotates a roulette wheel that holds a set of thirty-seven (classical roulette) or, alternatively 38 (American roulette) independently marked receptacles in which the white pellet will then settle, deciding the winner and the other chances that come with it. If a player bets on a number and is successful meaning they’ve got a lucky hand, the set bounty will be 35 to 1, the original stake is tossed back. Therefore in totality the initial bet is multiplied by 36.

Please try to be wary for all of such casino gambling pastimes are indisputably habit forming. There’s far too many lives that have indisputably been spoilt through addictive gambling + though it indisputably seems entertaining, aspire to not get carried away.

We have a whole bunch of stuff happening in our world, don’t we? Hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes, floods, mudslides and a pile of other things produced by the actions or inactions of us silly humans. So is there any particular significance in the fact that all of this is happening in a relatively short time frame? Is “someone” trying to tell us something? Are we getting a message from the Chairman of the Board of All Existences?

I does make you wonder, doesn’t it?

It looks to me like the answer to this question depends almost entirely on our perception of God. Here’s what I mean.

If we’re thinking of God as an individual entity, living in heaven and presiding over our lives as an authoritarian (as in Father or Mother) figure - and who, by the way, metes out various degrees of reward and punishment depending on how we humans are conducting our lives, it would be reasonably logical to believe that we indeed, are being provided a warning message. A forceful reminder that we are screwing up and need to take major steps to get our act together.

But, taking this one step further, our interpretation of this message - along with our designation of the intended recipient - is going vary depending on our personal beliefs - especially if we have a tendency to extrapolate these beliefs toward the outer limits of logic. We all know what takes place. A “bad” event happens to members of societies which are primarily Islamic or maybe even Hindu or Buddhist - and what comes next? Christian extremists will quickly pick up their megaphones and start shouting “See, we told you so! God’s trying to tell you guys something. You’d better shape up and switch to Christianity or you’re toast!”

On the other hand, Islamic extremists are quick to point to the devastation produced by hurricanes, floods or earthquakes in the United States as an edict from Allah. “See, we told you so! Allah’s trying to tell all you evil people something. You’d better shape up and switch to Islam or you’re toast!”

And yes, even from within our own society we have seen individuals point to a segment of our population and proclaim “See, we’ve been trying to tell you! You’d better get on the ball and try to make something of yourselves. God’s given you a message and you’d better pay attention!”

Geesh… we humans can be downright goofy at times - not to mention hurtful and counter-productive. Shame on us!

From a different page in life’s coloring book, many of us tend to think of God in more abstract terms. As perhaps being the foundation intelligence and power behind all of creation. As being the total of all wisdom, power and love in all creations. Our view of “natural” disasters will likely lean more toward their having occurred as a normal result of our earth’s instability. Catastrophic events prompted by humans will generally be seen as a predictable result of our greed, lack of understanding, insecurities and a whole host of other questionable “motivators”.

My personal opinion is that it is not a bad thing at all to take some time to look at the uncomfortable events and situations that occur all around us, not necessarily for “messages” or warnings, but perhaps more for lessons. And not necessarily complicated lessons at that. Such as? Such as realizing that we all live on an unstable, unpredictable planet - and that no matter where we live, we are all subject to nature’s whims. It is important therefore, to consider - and plan for the best we can - the potential dangers that may be presented by our immediate surroundings.

It would be good for us to realize that we all - repeat, all - will have some kind of impact on our earth’s environment (air and water quality, availability of natural resources, etc.) and that it is up to each one of us to do the best we can to preserve and perhaps even enhance the conditions in which we live.

It would be good also for us to realize that our actions - individually and collectively - will in some way potentially impact the lives of many of the others who share this planet with us. That our words and actions should be based on love and compassion for our fellow man. That we are all here - not as competitors or foes - but as brothers and sisters simply trying to make our way through life in the best way we know how.

The current worldwide recession has had consequences throughout Aberdeen in relation to higher unemployment levels; however a down turn in the area of office space rental has been avoided, so far. With its previous dependence on crude oil, economic matters have previously been very unsteady but with a shift towards the commercial world of electronics this has created balance and turned round this great cities fortunes.

Colourful kilts and tasty beef are both widely offered in Scottish cities, however vacant office space is nowhere to be found in Aberdeen. While every international city has seen rental income from office block square footage tumble, including neighbours Edinburgh and Glasgow, this is not the case in this fishing region of Scotland. A demand in desk space rental is also a new phenomenon, for those involvrd in remote working and needing a desk for hire.

Aberdeen has managed to retain the companies that arrived in previous years, as part of the electronics boom in both design and development. Whilst other Scottish cities are seeking to introduce new measures to entice foreign business to them, this vibrant home to nearly a quarter of a million is holding its own.

The people of Aberdeen have politicians to thank, over a decade ago leading individuals courted the brand of commerce that was destined to stay relevant coming into the 21^st century. These same men and women are now seeking companies who are working in the field of alternative power, for something that will see the city safe well into the years ahead.

Nowadays the decrease in oil prices has had minimal implications on this lively fishing port because the city is now standing on much firmer foundations.
