5 Things You Probably Didn't Know About George Harrison_3 On November 29, 2001, English musician and songwriter George Harrison died at the age of 58. Here are 5 surprising facts you probably didn’t about this legendary musician... Harrison's Death Location Was Kept Secret at First Harrison's death location has pretty much been agreed upon now, but when he first died, all anyone really knew was that it happened in Los Angeles. The first address was listed as somewhere in Beverly Hills but didn't actually exist, and there were also claims he died at the home of his friend, Gavin De Becker, a security expert, on Laurel Canyon. Eventually, Gloria Allred sued for the release of the true address, claiming it was a matter of integrity for public records. It's now accepted that Harrison died at a home owned by Paul McCartney in Los Angeles. The cover-up may have been done for security reasons, to avoid having fans gather in a residential neighborhood and possibly vandalize the area in an attempt to get memorabilia. He Could Play 26 Instruments The wide-variety of instruments can be heard throughout the many solo and Beatles albums that Harrison has appeared on. He could play all of the following: Guitar, Sitar, 4-string Guitar, Arp Bass, Violin, Tamboura, Dobro, Tabla, Organ, Piano, Moog Synthesizer, Harmonica, Autoharp, Glockenspiel, Vibraphone, Xylophone, Claves, African drum, Conga drum, Tympani, Ukulele, Mandolin, Marimba, Bass Guitar, Swordmandel, and Jal-Tarang. He Paid $4 Million To See a Movie When Monty Python’s classic feature The Life of Brian was days away from filming, their production company abruptly pulled the plug due to the potentially blasphemous nature of the script. Harrison was such a huge fan of Monty Python that he mortgaged his home, lending $4 million to the production of the movie. “He paid for it because he wanted to see it,” Python member Eric Idle recalled. “The most anybody’s ever paid for a cinema ticket in history.” His Date Of Birth Is Often Disputed For most of his life, Harrison thought his birthday was February 25th. You’ll find most books and biographies state this date. However, near the end of his life, Harrison insisted that he was born on February 24th, 1943 at 11:50PM. A family document has revealed this to be true. He Wrote a Song About His House After buying a mansion with 120 rooms in 1970, Harrison wrote a song entitled “Crackerbox Palace,” which is the name he gave his home. He also wrote a song about the mansion’s original owner, Sir Frank Crisp, called “The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp.” The neo-Gothic/Victorian house features, caves, grottos, underground passages and gnomes as well as extensive gardens.

God charges us with sin in relation to what the Holy Spirit has convicted us. If we have not been convicted by the HS, we are not charged with sin. James 4:17 and more.

Thank you Joe, I appreciate your comment. But, I would like to hear the detail that you don't agree with. If you don't mind can you provide Scriptures along with your disagreement. The reason is, we should base it on the Bible, agreed? I hope to hear from you soon and again, thanks! It makes me feel humble and happy, when all can discuss things, by working together in love! I know Heaven is please as well! I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving! Blessings!

5 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Thanksgiving Happy Thanksgiving, folks! Whether you're looking for an interesting conversation starter or just really want to know more about Thanksgiving, these surprising facts will make you seem like the smartest person at the dinner table. So grab a drumstick, and enjoy these 5 tasty Thanksgiving tidbits… The Original Thanksgiving Lasted for Three Days When the Pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians celebrated the first Thanksgiving in November 1621, they spent three glorious days feasting on venison, goose, duck, oysters, fish, and eel with cranberries and pumpkin -- but no turkey. Only five women are believed to have been present at the celebration among the 50 Pilgrims and 90 Native Americans. Originally, the Pilgrims intended to make it a day of prayer and fasting, but the arrival of the natives changed all that. Pilgrims Didn’t Wear the Clothing that Are Commonly Depicted Most illustrations of Pilgrims in movies, books, and advertising depict them wearing black or black and white with buckles on their hats and shoes. Buckles weren’t used until the late 17th century, and the Pilgrims normally only wore black and white on Sundays. During the week, they dressed in bright colors, which is proven by the estates they left behind in which one woman had a red petticoat, blue stockings, and a purple waistcoat. "Jingle Bells" Was Originally a Thanksgiving Song James Pierpoint composed the song in 1857 for children celebrating Thanksgiving. The title was "One Horse Open Sleigh," and it was such a hit that it was sung again at Christmas. The song quickly became associated with the Christmas holiday season, and the title was officially changed in 1859, two years later. TV Dinners Were Inspired by Thanksgiving In 1953, the TV-dinner company Swanson overestimated the demand for turkey by over 260 tons. The owners of the company had no idea what to do with all the leftovers, so they enlisted the help of company salesman Gerry Thomas. Taking inspiration from airplane meals, Thomas ordered 5,000 aluminum trays, and loaded them with the turkey leftovers to create the first TV dinner. Sarah Josepha Hale is Known as The "Godmother of Thanksgiving" Sarah Josepha Hale was a woman truly dedicated to the cause of there being a Thanksgiving holiday. So dedicated in fact that she spent 17 years campaigning for it and wrote letters to five different presidents. Sometimes referred to as the “Godmother of Thanksgiving,” Hale wrote countless articles and letters to persuade President Abraham Lincoln to officially declare Thanksgiving a national holiday that recurred every year. Hale mentioned in her letter that having such a national day of Thanksgiving would establish a "Great Union Festival of America." What is Sarah Josepha Hale’s other claim to fame? She was the author of the nursery rhyme, "Mary Had a Little Lamb."

Rachel; You stated; "Satan's counterfeit Second Coming where he claims to be the Messiah figure for every religion, and a magnificent alien returned for the atheist types. He "will sit in the Temple of God, showing himself to be God". Now, that came out of EGW's book; the Great Controversy. As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will impersonate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Savior's advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. GC, pp. 624 Now, I know that mainstream SDA believes the above. However, the Bible does not state Satan to impersonate THE MESSIAH at all! You never gave a Scripture because there is none! The Bible says this: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Messiah , or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Mat 24:21, 23, 24 I will also kindly state that the Bible never said that Satan would sit in the Temple. He is not the son of perdition. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in THY NAME: those that THOU gavest ME I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled. John 17:1 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2Th 2:3 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. Rev 17:8, 11 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Rev 19:20 The Beast is the son of perdition, who is a man that was first, cast into the Lake of Fire. The many false messiahs will appear during the Time of Trouble, according to the Scriptures. Rachel you stated "The forces serving Satan (as savior and Lord) try to wipe out those who have the seal of God, who warn people that he is not Christ come." Again, you give no Scriptures! I have taken a stand against the mainstream SDA who also believe this scenario. For some reason, they feel that the Time of Trouble is to harm or torture the saints! They believe this because many in the past, many faithful ones, had to go through trials. Many even lost their lives. But, this time is so different! First, the 144,000 will be sealed before the Time of Trouble. In the Six Chapter of Revelation Verses 14-17, an event is taken place. Everything is out of place both the mountains and the islands. The wicked are telling the rocks and the mountains to fall on them and to hide them. They are actually asking the rocks and mountains to killed them, so they can hid being dead. What we all should say is wow! Why on earth would they do that? Well the Bible tells you, so they can hid from THE WRATH of THE LAMB and THE FACE of HIM that sitteth on the Throne in Heaven. No one discusses these important verses! Then the very next Chapter we see an angel coming from the east, having the seal of THE LIVING ELOHIYM saying to the four angels who duties are to hold back the wind of strive! Now, if this angel has the seal of THE LIVING ELOHIYM, how on earth can that be the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a day and the angels has a seal. Many of you believe in a Trinity, I believe in THREE INDIVIDUAL BEINGS and this angel has the seal! Now, the Bible makes it very clear that THE HOLY SPIRIT, is THE ELAH, that does the sealing. But, let's not forget Chapter Six and Verses 14-17. The Time of Trouble was about to happen and the angel from the east, stopped the four angels because the 144,000 all of them had to be sealed first. Why was this so important? Because it appears no one seems to notice that The Time of Trouble is THE WRATH of THE LAMB! Do you think that THE LAMB is going to bring HIS WRATH on the righteous? Well the Bible say no! Daniel Chapter 12 clearly states, Michael is standing for HIS people and to deliver them. If HE is standing for HIS people, why would HE bring up some people for everlasting life? I can see HIM bringing up the one for everlasting contempt because as the mainstream think, the poor righteous people are going to be tried. They will be tortured! Why would they be if they are seal? What would they have to prove being faithful? They are no longer sinners, they are SEALED! Now, the very next Verse let's you know they are in power and also Rev 11:3-6. They will reap the Harvest of souls. That is why I observe the Holy Convocation, "of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours." also called Tabernacle. Ex 23:16; Lev 23:34-36 The reason is both the 144,000 and the great multitude will do just like Elijah at the right time. They will scatter! And I heard THE MAN clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when HE held up HIS RIGHT HAND and HIS LEFT HAND unto Heaven, and sware by HIM that LIVETH FOR EVER that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when HE shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. Dan 12:7 When, YAHSHUA'S people are scattered The Time of Trouble will have ended and probation (the one hour), this time is without an intercession. YAHSHUA will take care of HIS people because the next and final WRATH comes from THE MOST HIGH! They are the Seven last plagues and just like Elijah, the saints will be safe from harm, like living in the wilderness! Rachel; you are correct, the 144,000 will be Priest and Kings and I pray to be a part of that number to also stand before THE FATHER! Having a harp singing the victory song of finishing and gathering in the harvest of souls during the Time of Trouble! ALLELUYAH! PRAISE YAH!

I think that is very dangerous way of thinking. Of course, all have a chance to make an informed choice, but not after the millennium and not after being raised from the dead. Other wise that pronouncement of Michael regarding "let the filthy be filthy still" would have no meaning. There seems to be a number of views out there leading people to believe they do not have to take seriously making a decision now because "you will have all kinds of chances later."
