Five Criteria for the End Time Ministries website

This is not a good source to use. These are the results from the five criteria.
1. The website doesn't say who wrote it but there is a phone number to call. The person most likely isn't qualified to write this document. 
2. EndTime Ministries published the document and it does not list his or her qualifications
3. This page is trying to achieve people to be scared of WWIII and the end of the world. The information seems pretty detailed but most of it seamed very subjective. 
4. This website seems to have been produced in either 2005 or 2007. The website was last updated in 2012 and the links are fairly recent. If there is any dead links, they hide them very well.
5. The links are complimenting the information stated in the website. There is a balance of both text and pictures. The website is also selling books, DVDs, and CDs. And there is a webcast that they do Monday through Friday.
Through these five criteria, this website is not considered a trusted or reliable source for information. It seems like a scam to get people to buy their merchandise. There is contact information and a lot of text but there is to many shaddy stuff on the website for it to be 100% legitimant.

  1. You make some very good points, Braden. I wanted you to think about why you might not want to used it as a source, and that is exactly what you have done. Nice job!

  2. I agree with Mrs. Waterbury, that post was EPIC! You did a much better post than I did....of course, I didn't really understand what to do....I was probably screwing around and didn't hear what Mrs. Waterbury was saying. That seems to happen a lot....

  3. You did do a good job with that post. The website does seem kind of shaddy...shadey...........suspicious. I would not use it as a source, so I agree with Mrs. Waterbury.

  4. Nice job, Braden. You have a few typos in your post, so I would write it in Word and spellcheck it first, then paste your info in your blog post screen and save.
