"Armageddon" The Mystery Unveiled: The Mount Of Congregation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781518808876)

My mother sent me to Catholic Catechism when I was six and I asked the priest why we were supposed to pray to Mary. He told me, "That is what we do." I have never liked pacifying answers. I never went back. I got into a fight when I was seven years old because another boy said that my mom was a liar for telling me that there was a Santa Clause and an Easter Bunny. I lost that fight in two ways that day. When I got home my mom told me The Truth. Later on, I went to quite a few different religious assemblies seeking to learn The Truth, but I always felt that I was not hearing the whole truth. I went to metal machine shop class and I learned to work with very close tolerances with-in, plus or minus of a thousandth of an inch. Then when I was in the Navy, I was on the Aircraft Carrier, USS Nimitz for a couple of years. I went to Captain's Mast four separate times for several minor infractions and in the end, Captain Ilg and I had a private conversation in his office. He told me that of all the men on his ship, he knew that I alone would be willing to tell him The Truth, even if it was not what he wanted to hear. He told me that he recognized that characteristic in me the very first time that he met me. He said that practically everyone else had been taught not to question things that they had been taught. He said that it was they who were being led as sheep to the slaughter. The last thing that Captain Ilg told me as I was getting ready to leave his office was for me to never allow others to make me feel or think that I was wrong, because, he said, I was "probably" the only one in the right. If Captain Ilg had not explained all of this to me about myself, I probably would never have understood that I do not perceive most things the same way that others do. After I got out of the Navy I worked in construction, where I learned that everything has to be 'absolutely plumb, square and level'. With that frame of mind and background I always had a problem with all of these religious assemblies teaching that, "You can come just as you are and you do not have to change." When I learned that Scripture tells us that the whole world, (except for the elect) would be deceived, and that the entry gate is very narrow, I began searching for that narrow gate. I knew that I was not hearing The Truth from the preachers. So I started reading the Scriptures for myself, and I began to see anomalies that have led me to some of the conclusions which I will show you. Boyd B. McNiel
