THE DOOMSDAY BOOK!

1. THE DOOMSDAY BOOK WAS WRITTEN 20 YEARS AFTER WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR OR WILLIAM OF NORMANDY CONQUERED GREAT BRITAIN IN THE BATTLE OF HASTINGS IN 1066.

2. WHAT IT REALLY AMOUNTED TO WAS THAT FRANCE CONQUERED BRITAIN IN 1066. By the way, that was one of the years of the Comet, Halley's Comet, a significant year! Twenty years later he had an inventory taken of all of Britain, all of the land & all of the cattle & all of the people & everything‚ & he came up with the sum that the whole country & its land & people & cattle were only worth about 76,000 Pounds.—To show you how much a pound was worth then!

3. IN THOSE DAYS A POUND WAS A POUND‚ IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A POUND OF GOLD. Well, a pound of gold nowadays would be worth quite a bit. A pound of gold today would be almost $8,000! So he figured Great Britain was worth 76‚000 Pounds, or roughly speaking, 608 million Dollars!

4. SO 20 YEARS AFTER WILLIAM OF NORMANDY OR WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR CONQUERED BRITAIN, HE HAD THE DOOMSDAY BOOK WRITTEN, IN 1086, which inventoried everything—the value of the land, the cattle, people, the houses, the manors, & that's what he came up with. It's called the "Doomsday Book" because it was supposed to set everything right, all the balances right & all of the values right. He said it was done to balance up everything right as the Lord would do. So, at that Great Day he came up with the value of 76‚000 Pounds for all of Britain, which would today be worth about 600 million Dollars. But of course today‚ due to devaluation, inflation etc. Britain is worth much more than that, quite a few billion Dollars probably!

5. SO THAT'S WHAT THE DOOMSDAY BOOK IS & THEY'RE CELEBRATING THE 900TH ANNIVERSARY OF IT THIS YEAR, FROM 1086 TO 1986. It's amazing that records like that are still kept & still in existence! I thought it was rather significant that they call it the "Doomsday Book" & they're celebrating it this year, 1986, which could very well be doomsday for the Earth in some ways if the Antichrist takes over & the Tribulation begins etc. Praise the Lord! (See WND 138, pg.7.)

U.S.' HYPOCRITICAL CONDEMNATION OF SOUTH AFRICA

6. THE U.S. CONDEMNS THE EMERGENCY CRACKDOWN IN SOUTH AFRICA, BUT WHAT WOULD THEY DO UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES? They'd probably get tougher than that! Such self-righteous hypocrisy! They want to turn South Africa into a Zimbabwe!

U.S. TERRORIST POLICY!

7. THE U.S. HAS A POLICY THAT IT WILL NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS OR PAY RANSOMS FOR HOSTAGES. In other words, the U.S. ' attitude is literally, "Let'm die!" Keeping their money is more important than saving the people's lives! Because what the terrorists usually want is money to free friends.

8. THE U.S. ATTITUDE IS THAT MONEY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PEOPLE! They say it just promotes more terrorism if you pay ransoms & negotiate with the terrorists, so they use that as their excuse for not negotiating with them, that to yield or negotiate would encourage terrorism.

9. WHEREAS THE JAPANESE TAKE A MUCH MORE HUMANE VIEW, THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO NEGOTIATE & PAY RANSOMS FOR THEIR PEOPLE. So you can imagine how that makes the U.S. look like a real monster internationally, which it is!

DAD, A DIFFERENT KIND OF BUSINESSMAN!

10. I MUST BE ONE OF THE FEW EMPLOYERS OF THE WORLD WHO DON'T LIKE TO SEE TOO MUCH SURPLUSES. I like to get it into circulation!

COMAS!

11. ONCE THE ROOF GOES‚ THE WHOLE THING GOES! The first thing that goes on most buildings is the roof‚ & if they don't take care of it & it starts leaking, then the ceiling collapses, & then the floor collapses & pretty soon you've got nothing but walls standing. And if things get too bad & too long, even those go! So you see, you've got to take real good care of your roof! (Puts hand on top of his head.) Because if this collapses, you go! And that's true, right?

12. NOWADAYS, OF COURSE‚ EVEN WHEN THE MIND COLLAPSES or has gone into being like a zombie or a vegetable, they can keep you alive with mechanical things—mechanical breathers‚ mechanical hearts, mechanical dialysis for the kidneys & all kinds of stuff, just keeping your flesh alive when your mind is already dead!—When you're clinically, psychologically, almost spiritually dead.

13. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THOSE PEOPLE GO WHEN THEY'RE THAT WAY, or where their spirit goes. Maybe they're standing around watching! Maybe they hear what goes on. Maybe it's a kind of a test to see how the relatives act & what they say & how sorry they are & a few other things! Who knows?

14. SOME WHO HAVE DIED & HAVE COME BACK HAVE SAID THAT THEY EVEN TOOK TRIPS TO HEAVEN OR HELL, & that they heard everything that was being said & everything going on in the room where they were supposedly lying dead. How much more so these people in what's known as a catatonic state or comatose state, simply meaning that for all known purposes of being alive‚ they're actually dead! They just keep their bodily functions going, that's all, but their mind seems to be dead.

15. SO WHEN YOUR MIND GOES DEAD, THE REST OF YOU IS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE TOO! They have to take care of you in bed, you can't do anything for yourself, you can't feed yourself, they feed you intravenously & whatnot, you can't even control going to the toilet or anything.

U.S. LEARNING JAPANESE!

16. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TEACHING IN THE U.S. IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL NOW?—JAPANESE! It's the fastest growing language in the U.S. today! The U.S. is finally waking up! After aeons of Japanese brilliance & history & fighting big wars & conquering big nations like China & Russia, etc.‚ the U.S. is finally waking up to the importance of the Japanese!

17. THEY DIDN'T WAKE UP TO IT, THOUGH, UNTIL THEY STARTED LOSING MARKETS & LOSING SALES! It's only for money that they're learning Japanese, not because they're really interested in the Japanese, certainly not because they love'm, not because they give a damn about their culture or the people or the country, but because they want to sell'm American products!

DEVIL HATES CHILDREN!

18. THE DEVIL PROBABLY CONSIDERS CHILDREN HIS GREATEST ENEMY BESIDES US! HE DOES EVERYTHING HE CAN TO KILL THEM OFF OR NOT LET THEM GROW UP!

MUSIC IN HEAVEN!

19. JOHANN STRAUSS' MUSIC, NOW THAT IS REAL MUSIC! That is what I call music, Heavenly music! Man has already aspired to create Heavenly music! We're going to have that kind of entertainment in Heaven! (Referring to beautiful dancers & beautiful gowns, waltzing, concerts, balls, ballets & symphonies!)

AUSTRIA!

20. THAT'S ONE THING THE WORLD CAN'T CONDEMN AUSTRIA FOR IS THEIR MUSIC! They have some of the greatest music in the World! They're a country to be proud of. … It used to be the center of Jewish European culture.

21. VIENNA HAS A LOT TO BE PROUD OF, ONE OF THE GREATEST CULTURAL CENTERS IN THE WORLD!—One of the greatest musical centers in the World that has produced some of the greatest musicians & orchestras & dances.—Thanks mostly to the Jews, ha! God bless the Austrians, they have nothing to be ashamed of! Thank God they had enough sense to go ahead & elect Waldheim, former Secretary General of the United Nations!

WOMEN'S LIB!

22. ACTUALLY, WESTERN CULTURE EXALTS WOMEN. WHY THEY WANT LIBERATION FROM THAT, I DON'T KNOW!

FLOWERS!

23. FLOWERS ARE LIKE GOD'S PRAISES! His creations praise the Lord! Butterflies are like flying flowers, given by God to entertain children & beautify His Creation!

ADOPTION AGENCIES!

24. ADOPTION AGENCIES MAKE THINGS SO DIFFICULT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO TRY TO PICK THE PERFECT PARENTS. It's funny, because God doesn't do that!

FEDERAL BANK MYSTERIOUS!

25. THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IS ALMOST A GOVERNMENT WITHIN A GOVERNMENT! Nobody has any control over it. Even the Congress says it's shrouded in mystique. It's a complete mystery even to the government. What a place for the [ACs] to get in & control!—They did!

BAPTISTS & METHODISTS!

26. THE BAPTISTS ARE THE LARGEST DENOMINATION IN THE STATES. The Methodists used to be‚ but many of the Baptists have toed the line on Salvation & they stay true to their beliefs. The Methodists have gotten away from the Lord & have gone downhill as a result & become Modernistic unbelievers!

CATHOLIC PRIESTS FORBIDDEN TO MARRY!

27. THE WORST THING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH EVER DID WAS FORBIDDING THEIR PRIESTS TO MARRY! How can they know anything at all about marriage counselling or about families or children or how to be a father or mother when they don't have any experience with it! It looks to me like in a way it has destroyed the Catholic Church. A lot of the priests have turned to homosexuality & sodomy instead. I can't understand how the Catholics could have glorified Mary & motherhood & children, etc., & not let their own priests marry!

WOMEN MISSIONARIES!

28. PEOPLE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO WOMEN MISSIONARIES! They almost expect missionaries to be women & many have high regard for women missionaries, they really respect them. So our women missionaries are the perfect ones for the job in some countries!—GB'm!

FFing THE TOP!

29. WE ARE THE ARISTOCRATS OF GOD'S SOCIETY! We are top people too! To the top from the top! Our girls are really anointed!

—Ambassadors of the King!—Are you a good Ambassador for the King of Kings?
