> Eerie news about Bill Gates & Microsoft.

> let you know these facts... Do you know that Bill gates' REAL name is
> William Henry Gates III? Nowadays, he is known as Bill Gates (III) where
> "III" means the order of third (3).  So, what's so eerie about his name?
> OK, if you take all the letters in Bill Gates III and then convert it in
> ASCII code (American standard code for information interchange) and then
> ADD up all the numbers...you will get 666, which is the number of the beast!

> Are you  sure this is not a Coincidence?  You decide....

> For those of you who still have the OLD Excel 95 (not office 97) try this out:

> This is really eerie okay...it has a doom style format and you

> 
>      8. NOW WALK UP THE STAIRS AND THEN COME BACK DOWN, FACE THE

> 
> This will open the blank wall to reveal another secret passage, walk 
> through the passage and DO NOT fall off (this is the hard part!),
> when you get to the end, you will see somethingreally,  really eerie....
> 
> At this point of time, countless witnesses all over the world
> have verified that it is a real eye opener.  It could be a joke by MS
> programmers or is it?......   Wouldn't be surprise if Bill Gates was
> "The Antichrist," after all it was already foretold in the Bible that
> someone  powerful would rise up and lead the world to destruction.  And 
> Bill Gates definitely have that kind of power in his hands. More than 80% 
> of the world's computers run on Windows and DOS (including those at Pentagon)!
> If all his products have some kind of small program embedded (like this Hall 
> of Tortured Souls) that can give him control, setting off nuclear arsenals, 
> creating havoc in security systems, financial systems all over the world, etc.
> 
> All from his headquarters isn't a far of reality!  Just using
> Internet Explorer  may just allow him to map out what you have on your
> computer bit by bit each time you log on. Perhaps the end times are
> near and this is just a tip of the iceberg!?
> 
> Quote from the Bible:
> 
> "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free
> and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so
> that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark,  which is the name of
> the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom.  If anyone has
> insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number.
> 
> His number is 666."..............Revelation 13:16-18.
> See......  It is something for you to think about....if the Bible,
> in the Book of Revelation says that without the sign of the beast one
> would not be able to buy, sell, do business transactions, etc.....then....My
> question to you know is this...Is Internet now a necessity in doing business?
> 
> The Internet also bears the sign..... Note that the Internet is
> also commonly known as the World Wide Web or WWW..... One other way we
> write W is  V/ (VI) so:
> 
>     W W  W   =  VI VI VI   6 6 6
> 
> This gives me something to ponder upon ... Isn't everything going
> towards the Internet? (i.e., buying/selling goods, business transactions)
> Isn't Microsoft always on the move to have a monopoly when it comes to
> software technology?  And now, The Internet?
> Revelation also says that the mark of the beast will be carried on one's 
> Hand and one's forehead.....If the Internet would indeed be the sign of 
> the beast aren't we all starting to carry it on our hands and foreheads???
> 
> Screens (forehead) and make use of the mouse (hand)???
> 
> Are things finally falling into place or are we just letting our
> imagination run???  Remember, the devil came to cheat, steal, and to
> destroy ...so be VIGILANT about Bill Gates and Microsoft.
> 
> "To agree or to not agree with the WWW or the Beast", is not the
> question.  What if the WWW is the 666?  Or Bill Gates the Beast?  
> What will you do??
> 
> Cancel subscriptions to the Internet?  Resign from Microsoft?
> Set out a campaign against Bill Gates?  Use a free Unix-like OS!!!
