Age of Celebrity: Eternity Abandoned for Fleeting Immortality

by Wilfred Hahn Every year Forbes publishes its list of the Top 100 celebrities. The magazine's 2011 tally of America's top celebrities provided the most recent snapshot of this ever-changing world of fame and fortune. No doubt, some of these people would be recognizable to readers. The latest Top-100 contenders collectively earned $4.5 billion in 2010 (an average of $45 million each). Some of them were newcomers to the list, such as Justin Bieber, the young 17-year-old heartthrob crooner who ranked 3rd [place]. Others are long-time entertainers such as Oprah Winfrey (ranked #2, who is estimated to have earned $290 million in 2010 and has a reputed [total] net worth of over $3 billion). There can be no doubt: Celebrity is big business. A recent book, written by Jo Piazza (a former gossip columnist with the liberal New York Times ) entitled Celebrity, Inc.: How Famous People Make Money examines how competitive and facile is this world of celebrity. Quoting her on what she ...

General End-Time Commentary

September 27th, 2004 WHY I BELIEVE THE RAPTURE IS VERY NEAR If you've been a regular visitor of this site, you might know the official view of Rapture Ready is that the Church will not know the exact date of the pre-tribulation rapture. We do maintain that believers will be able to estimate the nearness of the rapture by looking at various end-time precursors. The Bible clearly says, "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:28) . In recent days I've become all the more convinced the time to look for our redemption is drawing very, very nigh (near). I base this sense of urgency on six major end-time indicators. A single warning sign would not be a strong enough reason to speculate the rapture might be near. Dozens of indicators pointing in the same direction, however, produce a high combined mathematical probability that something is about to happen. Many of these indicat...

Women See Male Leadership as Love

by Henry Makow, Ph.D. (From May 10, 2008) If a man cannot perform in bed, he is called "impotent". The woman feels unloved and unwanted. However, outside the bedroom, if a man doesn't demonstrate his power, he is considered "enlightened" and "progressive". But somewhere in their subconscious, women still feel let down. For centuries, women (and children) have relied on men to help define their lives. Men are failing their families when they buy into egalitarian feminist shibboleths and try to be "nice guys". Marriage is the exchange of female power for male power expressed as love. Women crave male power because in their minds, it is love. When a man fails to lead his family and allows them to manipulate him, the women (and children) feel unloved and consequently have less respect and love for him. The old proverb, "Spare the rod, spoil the child" (definitely) applies herein. Women and children feel most secure when husb...

Personal Commentary from PROFANITY: Swearing, Jesting and Joking

The previous [gospel] tract was published -- like the many I plan on posting here -- by the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. Here's the address for anyone interested in getting some: GOSPEL TRACT AND BIBLE SOCIETY P.O. Box 700 Moundridge, Kansas 67107 (U.S.A) Anyway, the (tract) the main reason I'd posted this tract (in the previous post) is that it reflects a common problem in today's society. Of course people have ALWAYS used bad language [in addition to telling dirty jokes], but today it's worse than ever , to be honest. There was a time when there were little to no (curse/cuss) words in music; but today the amount of songs & music that contains OVP [obscene/vulgar/profane] language are a penny a dozen. Moreover you find lots of foul language & foolish, vapid, insipid conversation everywhere else in the mass media, including television, movies, radio, newspapers (possibly), literature (of all kinds), magazines, & the Internet. Going out in a publ...

An Introductory Post...

Hi, folks. After suffering some setbacks (partially concerning my computer) I've finally got to create this blog, which is one of the biggest things I've done... I think , b/c it's gonna take a lot to keep it up, so that's no boastful statement by any means, LOL. I had no other choice but to (recently) get a Google e-mail account because 1) it's now crucial to log into my YouTube account and 2) it was required to create this blog; therefore I have no regrets about it after much debate as to make one or not. I have enough e-mail addresses as it is, 7 other than this one, 3 with Yahoo! and 4 with AOL. I now have my first [and only] one with Google. Anyway, based on the info I've gathered [for as long as I can remember] on the Illuminati, Freemasonry, Mind Control (or MK-Ultra, MK-Delta or MK-Naomi), the New World Order (NWO), [Totalitarian] Police State, Feminism, the occult and the subliminal (yet blatant in between the lines) messages that surround us cons...
