    Open Mind:

    "Greedy Commerce" will bemoan the fall of Babylon the Grape.
    So, per WT logic, "Greedy Commerce" is still in pretty good shape.

    That is an EXCELLENT point. Babylon the Grape is now Wall Street? Wrong again, dubs...

    Did the Society predict the crash of 1927 or the boom and bust years of the early 90's. Nope. So whats the difference now? They're just good at hedging their bets as Mary so aptly demonstrated.

    billy and the other mary are hilarious! i predict that the entire population of this planet will be dead within 150 years only to have their children to replace them. the BG members will die within 10 years. some way, somehow, the eonomy will be on an upswing within 5-10 years.

    They quoted an economist? who stated what many economists said about what can happen when certain systems such as credit are abused. So that shows that these economists understood their economics. So? That says nothing about WT's ability to predict. If it did then the New York Times and other news sources who quoted the same sources are predictors of the future. And isn't it an appeal to inappropriate authority to insinuate that because WT could recognize a good quote by an astute economist, that they now know what the world's future holds?

    I just received this Email today, but in spanish. with opening comments:

    Interesting information from the slave in the Awake 1980. You see every day
    we move closer toward the great tribulation. With what is happening
    the economy and increasing violence, I heard on the radio today
    in U.K. has unexpected outbreak of violence in several cities by
    streets due to the economy and religious troubles. Quite rightly the subject
    the of District Assembly was Thy Kingdom Come.

    then he sites the Awake 1980 6/8 pg 13-16.

    i guess we are closer to the end now! NOT!

    If you predict an economic mess, a natural disaster, a war, a famine, or a crime spree, you are bound to be right sometime... many times, in fact.

    What does that prove?

    ALL these things have existed in all "overlapping" generations since history began.
