defense integration, WND has learned.

more than amnesty for at least 12 million illegal aliens residing in
the U.S., as critics charge, the measure does offer one kind of
amnesty – tax amnesty – thanks to the insistence of the Bush
administration that the pay-what-you-owe provision in Sen. Kennedy's
initial bill be removed. Read the latest now on WND.com.

Shelby Corbitt. Here's an excerpt:
The
rapture of the church (God's children) will happen during the SUMMER
OF 2007. This could be anytime from June 21-September 21. This means
Jesus Christ is going to appear in the eastern sky and call all His
children up to Heaven, leaving all the sinners and unbelievers
behind - this is not the end of the world - but it will be the
beginning of a terrible tribulation for those left behind. Rapture
is a Greek word that means caught up.
