An oxymoron possibly.

007 bingo was very keen on the Philedelphia Trumpet. Donald Trump is probably a subscriber as well.

Guinevere - 'words' have been my insanity ever since my mum taught me to read.

You wrote:- 'Fortunately most people don't take that kind of nonsense seriously'. I would have replaced 'most' with 'not many'. A subtle but important alternative expression.

*Time to take my pills now! :-D

Has Nostradamus anything to add on the topic? ( he had the same birthday as me you know ;-) )



lolol I was joking but.... google 'Nostradamus on mass immigration' and see what pops up...

I think Dermot reads anything and everything Gwynne, isn't that true Dermot? :-)

You read some very strange stuff, Dermot.

"The Philadelphia Trumpet is a religious magazine that covers world events and traces how they were foretold by the prophets of the Bible. It does a lot of shoehorning in order to make the news fit Herbert W. Armstrong's prophecies from 50 years ago. The magazine's editor-in-chief is self-appointed prophet, fundamentalist, and conservative Gerald Flurry of the Philadelphia Church of God (a break-off church of Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God). He also hosts a weekly television show, "The Key of David." The Philadelphia Church of God is the current publisher of the books of Herbert W. Armstrong, which they make available for free but at the cost of spamming your snail-mail box with the magazine.

Flurry writes an editorial in each issue of his magazine, detailing his personal values and how the United States is falling apart because America's youth do not follow his interpretation of God's values. In "Our Educators Have a Dangerous Contempt for Authority," (March 2010) Flurry argued that universities, including Harvard, were responsible for the deterioration of America's values. He went on to write that "American colleges and universities actually encourage people to indulge in SOME OF THE MOST REPUGNANT IMMORALITY IN THE HISTORY OF MAN! We lead the world to sexual immorality" (emphasis all his). Obviously, sex between consenting individuals at universities represent SOME OF THE MOST IMMORAL ACTS IN HUMAN HISTORY, right after the invention of science and the condom. He then goes on to blame this immorality for "the collapse of strong marriages and families—and of our nation!" So there you have it, all we have to do is eliminate sex and America will rise again!

The Trumpet also deals in conspiracy theory; a recent favorite is that the German government is secretly run by Nazis. Not neo-Nazis, but the old Nazis who survived World War II. The Trumpet believes that Germany will play a central role in fulfilling biblical prophecy, and predicts that Germany will become the world's next superpower by conquering Europe economically, creating an evil, godless empire—just as Hitler had planned!

Besides Germany, their other bugaboos are the Pope, Muslims and the idea that global warming is caused by a lack of Christian values. "


Fortunately most people don't take that kind of nonsense seriously.

Guinevere - 'The Philadelphia Trumpet' (May-June 2015 edition).

An interesting article penned by the Editor - Gerald Flurry. Sub-titled: “Keep a close watch on Europe. Events are pointing to a dramatic change that will shock the world”.

Who said that, Dermot?

'A strong Germam leader is imminent'. :-S

Cameron its been reported is doing the same thing,,,,,,to share to load.

Once they get clearance from Germany and obtain relevant paperwork they can freely travel within the EU....so many may decide to go where they can be offered the best for their needs.

Some may even take the pope up on his offer of a spare room for two families. :-D :-D.

Actually, it's the President of the European Commission, not Germany.

They can insist, but that doesn't mean to say it will happen.

Unless the Refugees have ties with family who have already been accepted, they are going to go where they feel they'll be welcomed.

Despite being a Union of European countries, each one has it's own agenda. Someone needs to lead - Germany with its economic clout seems to be trying to do this.

How can Germany insist that other countries take in a 'quota' of migrants when the migrants themselves appear to deciding which countries they will or will not go to?

It is also said that Germany needs migrants as their own workforce has shrunk due to low birth rates. So why demand that countries with huge unemployment problems take in a set amount rather then persuading them to come up with a figure themselves?
