“And now, by the authority given to me by the … i pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride”

That’s how the ceremony ended, it was held by a very ‘cool’ (wazwaz) marriage comissioner, Elvis Prestley look-alike!!
It seemed that he was in a rush or had a date…. the whole thing took him only 5 minutes :S barely
We were relaxed, a bit emotional… but what triggered the thing was the USHER!!! :S euhh he was IN TEARS.. Literally…
He was nodding his head, looking at us… I confused him with my mom (who was standing next to him)… Inno are we related???
It was really weird, but fun.
The brother who took care of us here is a very nice person, a special character (oooooooooooops) yeah, Pablo, Pablos or Paulo… you can call him all that… He stayed with us almost all day and even invited us for lunch with his family. Who were all very nice as well.

We’re at “The Brewery” and will be heading … home? soon

D-Day!

Daniel’s Personal Study

Posted on July 20th, 2007 in Theocratic by abdallah

A couple of weeks ago in the Wt. study, one paragraph in particular captured my attention. The paragraph was talking about the prophet Daniel, who was still active and having a good bible study at the age of 90+
What captured my attention was this: the paragraph said there was indication (in what he wrote evidently) that he was studying parts of the bible we now know as Leviticus, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea and Amos! The paragraph then gives a (well known) example of Daniel quoting Jeremiah’s prophecy about the 70 years of captivity in Babel.
What I wanted to know is the rest of it, the other parts that Daniel was studying, and here’s what I found after some digging :) Article not complete!
Leviticus: We all know the famous stand that the 4 young friends took when taken to Babel. They refused to eat any foods that were forbidden by the law (Le 11:4, 13, 47; 17:12). A second look, however shows that Daniel was a true student of the law even at his old age. In his apologetic prayer noted in Daniel Chapter 9, he refers back to the Law several times as he confesses the errors made by the people of Israel.

(Daniel 9:13) . . .Just as it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity—it has come upon us, and we have not softened the face of Jehovah our God by turning back from our error and by showing insight into your trueness. . .

Isaiah:

*** kl chap. 2 p. 18 par. 17 ***
The fall of Babylon. Isaiah and Jeremiah both foretold Babylon’s fall to the Medes and the Persians. Remarkably, Isaiah’s prophecy about this event was recorded some 200 years before Babylon was conquered! The following aspects of prophecy are now matters of historical record: the drying up of the Euphrates River by diverting its waters to an artificial lake (Isaiah 44:27; Jeremiah 50:38); a careless lack of security at Babylon’s river gates (Isaiah 45:1); and the conquest by a ruler named Cyrus.—Isaiah 44:28.

PPPoE Trouble

Posted on July 9th, 2007 in Blogging by abdallah

For a couple of days the pppoe connection at my new appartment worked like a charm. After that poof! disappeared.
The connection would go up then down. On Windows, all is fine, so I figured it was a bug with the software… nope, re-installed, re-compiled, etc…
Anyway to cut the story short, I had to stop the DHCP client on the network interface connecting to the pppoe service. After that it was AOK. It doesn’t make sense really, but it worked
So if you’re using fastnetonline.com, and need help connecting, drop me a line, I might be able to help…
I also had to edit the default route manually to use the ppp0 device! looks like it’s something that needs to be fixed. I’m thinking of going back to gentoo!
