Ron and Laura have a big job to do!<br><br>This is no time to keep one’s light under a basket. No, indeed!<br> <br>The eyes of the world and the glorious hosts of heaven – and the Grand Host of Heaven himself will be watching!<br><br>Johnny Harrell, the PR person for the Two Witnesses of Revelation, has his work cut out.<br><br>Since the ministry has a message that needs to be delivered to the whole world, I have some suggestions I hope will be helpful.<br><br>1. Oprah – Yep, that’s right, Oprah. Where better to kick of this ministry? She’d probably agree to multiple shows. I suspect this would happen rather easily since Ron and Laura will both be imbued with God’s power. What a stage to announce and perform powerful acts and harsh judgments!<br><br>2. Late night and morning talk shows – Undoubtedly, there’s a wide audienced here. Interviews with Matt Lauer, Harry Reasoner, etc. could keep everyone up to date on the fulfillment of Ron's prophecies. For actual physical events, news crews could be dispatched to report - especially for any doubters. This seems like a no brainer to me. <br><br>3. Barbra Walters – Need I say more?<br><br>4. Specials – Undoubtedly, as Ron’s prophecies and his powerful works begin to be noticed there will be an opportunity for special TV shows. I imagine by this time cable and network executives will actively be seeking out The Two Witnesses.<br><br>Ron, its time to let your God given light shine!<br><br>Tick-tock.<br><br>Dill WeedDill Weednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463445167640495548.post-67459322115123004432008-12-03T06:53:00.000+00:002008-12-03T06:53:00.000+00:00Corky, you certainly know your Bible as well as an...Corky, you certainly know your Bible as well as anyone I've ever met.<br><br>Do you know whatever happened to our "friend"?

People don't believe because there are so many twisted opinions. It is true that scripture can be interpreted personally, but it is the basic fundamentals that we all believe. That fact that there is personal interpretation refects the fact that God is a personal God. He addresses people on an individual basis. Kind of like reaching out to people where they are at. That is often why the same scripture may have the appearance of having a different meaning to suit the person and/or circumstances. As for Weinland, Paul refers to delusional people in Titus 4 as following doctrines of demons and having their conscience seared with a hot iron. It is the not the scripture that is wrong, it is that the interpreter has fried brains.My Name is Wesleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588052406929665609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463445167640495548.post-75817037907405042182008-11-28T16:55:00.000+00:002008-11-28T16:55:00.000+00:00Yes, it's the old "secret decoder ring&qu...Yes, it's the old "secret decoder ring" idea.<br><br>Since the scripture were written by inspiration of the holy spirit, it takes the holy spirit to interpret them.<br><br>Too bad no one has that secret decoder ring of the holy spirit (even though millions claim they do).
