Mardi Gras
it means Tuesday Fat (Mars Day Grease)
beginning a 40-day Fast to Palm Sunday.
Because Passover full moon is Tuesday March 30,
the 40 days from today Thursday Feb 18 to Passover
begins 2 days after Mardi Gras until Passover is 2 days after Palm Sunday. I expected an event today. And I made no true effort to make it happen, despite I stood in my house and verbally asked for an earthquake, swearing to Jehovah I would go to Mount Ararat again if I felt one.... well I meant right now, not later, and I got nothing. Then 12 hours later at 4am Elgin Illinois had an earthquake it hasnt had for 20 years. IT was flet thru Kenosha and into Milwaukee Wisconsin; (all I heard was weird a clunk outside while sitting in my kitchen unable to sleep and typing on here). I discarded it because I wanted to. No desire to go back. All mouth here. And I brought it up to my friend's Bible teacher. Well, actually my friend's husband needs some socializing so despite her saying she hates Bible pounding she sends him off to a little study in which a former rejected Catholic who reads his Bible descided to start up a study of about 5 people. His reply to me was a scripture where Jehovah says How dare you people want a sign, did I not stop the rain 7 years and then bring it back upon demand. But even then I still turned to him, and I said to him, then so that you would be my witness, that this earthquake did happen, let there be another one right now. Of course, I said okay where is it; and he said see, you got your answer, meaning he did not believe any earthquake occurred because I asked for it. So what ever. I have no idea how things are about to go down, my faith feels as 50-50, and if it happens it will be to my shame proving again I lacked faith in what I did know.

I truly do not know how 40 days of the slaughtered bride appearing back in flesh (as Jesus did after he died) would fit into the 30 days of Esther's Feast to Passover. But with the year ending on Nisan 1 (sunset March 17), my expectations come to a total cease, a loss of comprehension. May you readers be witnesses of what does happen by the Hand of Jehovah for his bride he has chosen for his son Jesus our Christ.

What would it take for you to doubt JW eschatology?  It seems whacky to me which is why I'm never surprised your predictions never happen.

when you stop and think of it, i do not look at it as a choice between JW or Catholic, and JW or Protestant, and JW or Moslem, and JW or Pentecostal. Nor do I see it as JW or secular school biblical archeology, but rather I see it as a choice of either JW (which means Jehovah proves to his witnesses, not his witnesses define and prove him) or a choice of evolution, mutations, pollution control, government wars on ecological capitalism etc. I do not denounce true science, but churches of science (the schools). Any day, and every day, my life thrives and enjoys discovering ten kings from heaven ruled Earth before the Flood and exactly which years they ruled, and how the Flood happened, and when it happened, its days, its hours, not presumed by an Jewish claims but as Jehovah shows thru all calendars not just mine or theirs or anything biasedly favored. Things come true for me with what I see, but not with what I hope to see, wish to see, second guess to see. I am as human as you are, and I do not mean making errors, but rather just because I say that kid in the street is gonna get hit by a car today because it is so busy today doesnt mean I am a liar or embellishing if he safely gets thru today. I do not regret giving the warning because he could have gotten killed, and someday if he dies from a car then we will say it was said and they were told. BUT he may not die from a car. His mom might kill him for not listening. If so, you will call me a false prophet when being a true prophet does not mean you predict if a person dies or not and when, what day. It means you see that being in a street gets you hit by a car that does kill people. The truth is in the ability to see physical laws correctly instead of claiming other lies that bad chemicals give life, and good chemicals kill you. I have that insight on a high odds and probability curve, and I should be proud of it no matter who says look at the wacko. Science not just JWs were saying the end would come in 1975 because at that time the rate that the USA destroys things was fast, but they changed that rate, like Nineveh did. The spirit of Jehovah will change things rather than let Satan destroy before Jehovah's ready time to make the global change.

What would falsify it for you?  The Bible itself perhaps?  Maybe an archaeological discovery that changes chronology/calendars?

Any day, and every day, my life thrives and enjoys discovering ten kings from heaven ruled Earth before the Flood and exactly which years they ruled, and how the Flood happened, and when it happened, its days, its hours...as Jehovah shows thru all calendars not just mine or theirs or anything biasedly favored.

But these seem to be figments of the imagination from my POV.

Things come true for me with what I see, but not with what I hope to see, wish to see, second guess to see. I am as human as you are, and I do not mean making errors, but rather just because I say that kid in the street is gonna get hit by a car today because it is so busy today doesnt mean I am a liar or embellishing if he safely gets thru today.

This seems too convenient an analogy.  Why not the cry wolf analogy?  After all, you're not just telling people to step out of the street.  You're asking them to move to higher elevations.  You're asking them to look for a global noah/flood (pay not attention to rainbows). 

I do not regret giving the warning because he could have gotten killed, and someday if he dies from a car then we will say it was said and they were told. BUT he may not die from a car. His mom might kill him for not listening. If so, you will call me a false prophet when being a true prophet does not mean you predict if a person dies or not and when, what day. It means you see that being in a street gets you hit by a car that does kill people.

This is a logical sand castle, IMHO.

     Those in Sodom had a right to laugh. A right and freedom to stay behind. Those who left to the mountains could have been wrong and returned to find their house taken. It is within the bounds of reality. The true issue is to come to know a disaster before it happens so you don't suffer be it Haiti or Thailand.
     It is just common hope that those who survive are married with children, not the local orgie at the public steam room. But there is a probability that those who party do not believe in consistency to disaster forecasting. And they are the first to stay home because they don't like the weather. Well staying home can save you, it can also kill you.
     As for what does it take to falsify what for me. What it takes for me is this. The bible must not contradict science, and science must not contradict the bible. I do not change the bible to fit the ideas people put forth to science because their motive is intentionally to make the bible as garbage. Nor do I join churches who wish to make God as a creator who blinks things into being in a single day, but then tires out and can't grow a baby faster than 9 months. The bottom line is that Jehovah reveals himself and when it refers to the revelation of himself as being His Word... it merely means what comes forth as him, as he really is. That word is beyond written, just as it is beyond vocal. I have said many times your argument will have Jehovah's word come out to me from your argument, though you yourself would not see where it came from you. YOU and YOUR fight, inspired the answer that I had to see or come up with; otherwise I would not have seen it. So God Jehovah then used YOU as my enemy to teach me. This is how pagans like Koresh (Cyrus) or Nebuchadnezzar can be referred to as doing an act of God maneuvered by God for ONE THING that God wanted for the whole world. Thus call him the appointed one anointed one the chosen christ or king of kings though they be on Satan's throne it is Jehovah who will not let that throne rise above his own throne in teaching us the world. This is why Jerusalem's throne ended until the one who will rule from heaven as Melchizedek also ruled from heaven... meaning by example, not by forcing people.

I had a current (today /yesterday) thought about dying at 930 or 969 or 950. I wonder if the presence of the angels 24 hour 7 days contaminated man to cause aging. After all Adam should have noted that there were effects when in their presence. He was 390 when the 360-day calendar was started by them in 3636 BC with the first year of Sar (decade) in 3635 BC and living with humans for just 295 years before they began to take rule when Adam was 686 and likely now aging toward his 930. We know Noah's wife bore no children to Noah after he was 600, and likely nor did Eve bear children to Adam after he too was 600. And we know the angels decided to bear children which proved to be male-only as their fathers are, and as sterile hybrids.
     If this be the case, then it would be true that purging C14 during the 1000 years resolves both problems because there will be no angels living with humans during these 1000 years. In which case it releaves the burden upon men to learn how to stop aging which sets in at 600 years, because it had been the energy of the angels causing it being present among a creation they had no business being with.

I see.  So anyone who disagrees with you is in the same category as a Sodomite.

With analogies like that, it's impossible for one to admit fundamental error.

Actually I am quite aware that the feast she had in her wedding preceded the fast by 5 years from the 7th year to the 12th year. I am also aware that what I call her feast is the marriage to Jesus Christ by a final completion of 144,000 dead taken to heaven, the last 10,000 in a slaughtered rapture. In which case, the FAST (not feast) of Esther preceded Adar 14 as she fasted in hope her children of Judah Israel not die that day. Feb 27 earthquake and I can only wonder if they prayed for the same sign I had prayed for 12 days ago. Organizing the whole world takes more than organizing mere Hawaii.
