    For some solid anti-doom & gloom arguments, I can only recommend an article about the later "doomslayer" Julian Simon in Wired magazine some years ago. It's a great read as well: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/5.02/ffsimon_pr.html

    A lot of Julian Simon's articles are available here: http://www.inform.umd.edu/EdRes/Colleges/BMGT/.Faculty/JSimon/

    YoYo,

    YoNo couldn't predict yesterdays weather. He reminds me of old John Stone a founder of JW's in my home state. Before WWII John and his wife worked running Rutherford's radio 5KA. (now a heavy rock station) They pioneered, never had children and he was the most penny pinching bloke i ever met. He watched every movement of the stockmarket for 'a sign', he sliced bread so thin you could read a paper through it, he used old Awake's as toilet paper, he and his wife died 20 years ago leaving a huge bank balance which was willed to the boys in Brooklyn.

    Got a will YoNo?

    "some of you knows words are coming true"

    um, actually no. as joel has already pointed out, yk predicted ZERO about argentina, he merely used the facts of the argentina financial crisis as a supposed precursor to global financial collapse. youd know if you knows words were coming true, wed be dead (as pointed out by logi).......yk has predicted the end of the world repeatedly, and it was supposed to come (most recently) at y2k....another dissapointing failure for our favorite blubbering prophet....and then again a failure in october when we were supposed to see financial collapse..........and then theres his most recent prediction, which has the central banks going bankrupt at the "turn of the year", 2002. we shall wait in close anticipation.

    So when the WTBS predicts these failures, they are liars and bastards?

    Did not Jesus and all the apostles preach the urgency of the kingdom and the destruction of this ungodly system. I think they knew that this would not take place for millenia. Yet the urgency is still there. However, in the span of the history of the entire globe, 1,2,3,4,6 thousand years is peanuts.

    Wouldn't you rather be at the ready than be caught unaware. Are not false predictions better than complete and total oblivion?

    What people like youknow don't understand, is that basically the debt holders of the world are like sheep shearers or golden egg collectors. If the sheep give a little less, or even no wool at one point, the debt holders know better than to kill the sheep. They have been fleecing sheep for so long and have so much wool already in storage that they generally don't overeact. They may decide to starve it a bit, but they generally want to keep the sheep, because they know later more wool will be produced. The only reason for the debt holders to unleash a collapse is to teach a lesson to a rebellious sheep. But once it's back in line, it's business as usual.

    Larouche wants power, period. He will say anything, do anything with anybody who can help him get it.

    Yo Yo,

    When pondering jermiads of this sort,I'm reminded of Li'l Orphan Annie's reassurance: ``the sun'll come up tomorrow."

    I don't mean to make light of the Argentine fiscal crisis, but merely wish to stress the human race's indomitable capacity for survival.

    Such woes usually amount to a harsh reality check and a forced imposition of an austere life style, in some cases focing even the wealthy back to a hardscrabble existence by tilling the soil. However, they've yet to live up to their billing as the apocalyptic cataclysms of our worst fears.

    Usually, after lots of sweating, swearing and sharing, humankind pulls through, after having by learned, harshly but well, of the folly of over-reliance on wealth and what really matters in our brief lives on earth.

    being at the ready and anticipating the end of the world each october are two completely different things. do i realize there is a possiblity of a worldwide crisis sometime within the next 1000 years? sure i do. am i going to anticipate it happening sometime before the end of january? no. imagine this: if everyone believed yks predictions to be inevitable, we wouldve all thought that the u.s. dollar would be worthless as of this last november. how many people would have stocked up on canned goods and batteries....not to mention made radical life changes leading upto october (quit jobs, racked up loans/credit cards, etc)? is this realistic?

    ask this question to all of the witnesses who sold their houses and lived in tents back in 1974. theres your answer.

    Wiz, they are liars and bastards. False predictions make false
    prophets and should - if Witlesses had any real logic - ruin
    all credibility of the source that spread the falsehood, in the first place.

    They applied their speculative views to people and time periods
    that caused real hardship - like the "you will never grow old"
    statement in the 1969 Awake.
