THE "WORLD WIDE WEB" & "666"
In fact, it simply grew out of the need for global communication and the availability of computer communications. At first, it was used by academic staffs as an inexpensive communications device between the world's universities. Then business and banking caught on. The rest, as they say, is history. Soon, a "network" developed. This term, shortened to "net," gave birth to the official name, "Internet." However, hackers and other devotees soon gave it a familiar, colloquial name, "the web."
So the "network" became a "net," which soon be-came a "web". As it grew, it became the "World Wide Web".
Curiously, this latter designation, rather than its official name, Internet, formed the basis for its address prefix; in other words, "www" for worldwide web. Usually, when you want to contact someone on the Internet, you type the three letters "www," followed by a dot, then his specific designator.
It is fascinating that in the international alphabet, the letter "w" for "waw," is used to translate the Hebrew letter vav into the standard Roman alphabet. Vav, the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, represents the number 6. So, in a sense, when you type the three letters "www," you are entering the Hebrew equivalent of "666."
We have all known for a long time that the antichrist will need a global communications system to carry out his evil schemes. Now, we have one with his initials on it.

SEND IN THE "CLONES"
With all the hoopla about cloning these days, few people realize that cloning is not new.
Seems about five years ago, a genetic researcher actually found a way to clone humans.
This researcher traveled the world over giving lectures, making really big bucks. However, he found himself stretched pretty thin, so he had himself cloned. His idea was to have his clone make lectures too, thereby doubling his income.
Only problem though, after awhile, a flaw developed in the clone....he started using really foul, filthy language in his lectures.
The scientist had a meeting with his clone, and asked him to clean up his language, for he (the scientist) was getting a bad reputation.
The clone said: "Forget it....I’m the way I am, and there’s nothing you can do about it".
Well, they got into a really bad argument, and that turned into a really bad fight.
The scientist hit the clone, knocking him through the window and the clone fell 30 stories to his "death".
Problem was, the police couldn’t figure out what to charge the scientist with.....since it was a "clone" and not a real human, they couldn’t charge him with man-slaughter or murder.
They wrestled with the problem for some time then finally came up with a way to charge the scientist......making an obscene clone fall.....(boo, hiss, hiss).
While the above "story" is, of course, just that, a story, man may has finally discovered a way to "create life"!
Starting with "Dolly" the first cloned mammal, a sheep, man has continued experimenting with cloning. There are many now who believe cloning a human being is just around the corner.
This is a job that should be left only to the "Creator of the universe". How foolish is man's mind....to place himself on that level. How long will Jehovah allow man to have his folly....how long?
