You're all wrong.
Herbert W. Arms...No, no, no, no. You're all wrong.<br /><br />Herbert W. Armstrong and Garner Ted Armstrong will be the two witnesses. I know. I heard Gerald Waterhouse himelf say it on one of his world tours. While the two Armstrongs are off being witnesses, the rest of us will be in Petra where Christ will be getting the American out of the Americans, the Irish out of the Irish, the scotch out of the Scotch (on cue, everyone chuckle). . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28426681.post-91077803268901397632006-10-29T13:52:00.000+13:002006-10-29T13:52:00.000+13:00Wade Ewart Cox also claims that the Christian Chur...Wade Ewart Cox also claims that the Christian Churches of God will have two witnesses. This seems unlikely, since, in the past year, Cox has ousted all of his church officers and most of the members. By the time we get to the time of Revelation 11, it's unclear that there will even two in the CCg upon which to draw. It gives new meaning to "a one man show".<br /><br />Nevertheless, one thing I don't believe that Revelation 11 says clearly is that the two witnesses are men. You missed that one, Dennis, and, you know, it opens up grand possibilities. <br /><br />This would alleviate the problem of two males not getting along. A man and a woman, even in the churches of God, have been known to get along for 3.5 years -- some even longer. Of course, it would be problematic if they were <i>married</i>, but, then, Revelation is also silent about that.<br /><br />A woman would be perfect for the job. You know: She could bring up what people had done two years earlier and that would shut them up more effectively than bringing down fire from heaven or withholding rain. It certainly stops most husbands in their tracks.<br /><br />My vote would be with Carly Fiorina, of course, since she had been president, CEO and Chairman of the Board of HP [and did a mighty fine job too!]. She would certainly have incentive to deal with the powerful of the world, seeing as how they fired her from her position without warning and without giving any reasons -- as reported on Sixty Minutes a couple of weeks ago. And more perfect is that she never has been a member of the Armstrongist Churches of God. <br /><br />Given the problems in the xcogs, not just restricted to YACFODs [Yet Another Calendar For Our Day], divisions, narcissism, stalking, fondling but also alcoholism as in <i>the drunken bride of Christ</i> staggering down the red carpet and barfing all over Jesus' tuxedo in front of God the Father at the Marriage of the Lamb. One would bet that will leave a stain on the wedding dress. In the 20 years after the death of Herbert Armstrong, not one problem has been solved and everything has gotten worse and worse until we have gotten to the place of who the two witnesses are going to be.<br /><br />Stuff it guys.<br /><br />You haven't read the Scriptures, have you? I mean, I wouldn't want the job, thankless as it is. Oh, it might be satisfying to some psychopathic religious narcissist who's ticked about not being a god yet, but for the rest of humanity, taking revenge just isn't that satisfying. There's something really sick about someone wanting to go around hurting people all the time, just to get personal validation that they <b>are somebody</b>, when they are nothing at all.<br /><br />No, being an end time witness is a death sentence. You won't have any friends. It's not like the church of gods is going to invite you to their potlucks or get you to come out to the restaurant on the Sabbath with them. You're on your own. And it is doubtful that there will be a stay in a five star hotel either. A tent is more likely--one without shower and bathroom facilities at that.<br /><br />Well, you never know. It might be a woman.<br /><br />Then again, maybe the women are too smart to do the job. They will probably want to take a back seat on this one and let the testosterone poisoned guys with shrunken brains and a lot of pent up anger take this one on. It would be the wise thing to do. It's like the point of view gun in <i>The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</i>: The men just don't seem to get it.<br /><br />The perfect revenge really. And it will get the man out of the house so Mrs. Pack can have some peace.Douglas Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639275357879979640noreply@blogger.com
