You know times don't change and neither do we....
I ran into the balderdash (in defference to using more appropriate words)when I was twenty and am saddened that it's still around today...
MUST we perpertuate it here?
Only God knows when he will permit all to end....not even the angels know....so what makes people think they can force God's hand?
Let us stop jerking his robe for silly stuff and concentrate on that which edifying to us.

Amen!
And if we wish to do something constructive, lets each of us light a candle and pray for peace..... especially now.

Tell me, have YOU TALKED to any of these people???
Yes. In fact, I used to be one of those people for 10 years. I left out of disgust and disillusionment then wandered in the wilderness for 4 years and by the grace of God was received into the Orthodox Church 5 years ago.
I will be talking to some of "these people" tonight when I meet with parents and sibs who think that I am the heretic for leaving their fold.

Some might think that the madness that is documented here is just so-much left-wing propaganda, but it is pretty well researched.
Perhaps my feelings are leftover evangelical-protestant paranoia (I'm not at all familiar with Orthodox eschatological teachings outside of the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 24) but this evangelical-protestant "Dominionist" spirito-political agenda that is outlined on Theocracy Watch smacks of the antichrist.
I don't trust much that appears on the Lew Rockwell site. Many of the articles appearing there are hysterical, knee-jerk, conspiracy theory-oriented, etc.
I prefer reading The Economist, Foreign Policy, and other journals.
Bush may have evangelicals supporting him, but so what? I don't agree with their chilianistic heresy but they are mostly law abiding citizens whom i respect, and whose courage to stand up for morality is commendable.
President Bush is one of the first Presidents to support a Palestinian state, so despite his preference for Israel (like all the past presidents, Republican and Democrat), he is going the furthest ever in supporting "the other side."
This "chicken little stuff" just gets tiring after awhile.
