  Because it has gone under so many transformations in its short, tortured life, SBF.

  The BBXB is a sly comment on their constant reformations.

  Will Google Balloons help turn the tide in developing countries?

  well, i'm back on jwn so i may as well start a new thread!.

  this story caught my eye on sky news recently.... http://news.sky.com/story/1104007/google-balloon-project-gets-off-the-ground.

  it's basically a new initiative from google to bring the internet to far flung parts of the earth including parts of africa that are simply not wired up to the internet yet.. i'm not sure how the accessibility will work in terms of subscriptions etc, but google seem serious about it and early tests have been positive.. so, the question raised in my mind was, could this turn the tide against the watchtower?

  James, in most of these countries what that starving mother needs in the long run is information. Information is what topples dictators. Now of they could just fly theses over North Korea.

  (Not bibles)

  And I assume that these starving innocent already have screen phones or laptops to read the Google Internet these balloons will provide? Sorry, most of these countries need clean safe water, adequate food, and security more than the internet.

  Yes, the abandoned mothers and their nine starving babies can now meet their demise happily with Google Internet in such places as Sudan or Bangliadesh.

  Time will tell. I have been considering how I would react if I were in their position - and I can honestly say that I would feel some shame and remorse for the way this AAWA mess has turned out.

  That alone might make me keep quiet for a time out of simple embarrassment. So, maybe they need some time.

  I will be VERY surprised if Lady Lee has not (or is not about to) also separate herself from this fiasco.

  Maybe saying that Cedars and Anderson "owe" the community some kind of explanation was a little too strong - but here is what I meant:

  If you go to extraordinary measures to make yourself a highly public representative of the exJW world, you do bear some responsiblity to the community for your public actions.

  There are some important questions here which are simply being kept in the dark - not good for exJWs in general.

  Do not build a house on a foundation of sand...obvious enough after you have done it and watched it fall down.

  And should we assume that Lady Lee is still with them?

  I submit that Lady Lee, Cedars, and Barbara Anderson owe the exJW community some clear straight answers about what is going on with AAWA and why they are or are not still involved.

  I think that all this AAWA nonsense has done a significant amount of harm to the exJW cause and has accomplished nothing of any good.

  Millions now living will never die - false prophecy yet?

  by slimboyfat in

  rutherford wrote the booklet of that name in 1920. is that definitively a false prophecy yet?

  even if everyone who was alive in 1920 survived armageddon, if it was to come today, would that amount to millions of people?

  according to wikipedia there are 316,600 people who are a 100 years old or older.

  It is still a false prophecy whether you say MAY or WILL - when the people go ahead and die anyway.

  Think about it - would it not be truly idiotic for ANY sane person to pick out some newborn baby and say - this individual MAY never die?

  Of course it would. Of course all humans are going to die. Simple facts of life.

  Changing the verb from WILL to MAY does not save culpability over this idiotic false prophecy.

  i am going to be unplugged while i gallivant around europe for a while, which means there will be one person short of holding up the conservative banner on this site.

  so you can all pile on your leftist views of society, obama, health care, benghazi, irs, union thugery, socialism, redistribution of wealth, racism, sexism, gay marriage, right wing conspiracies, talk radio, fox news, wall street, the national debt, the educational system without my counterbalancing your neurotic views.

  but i do love you non the less by brothers and sisters.

  My point was that taxes are extremely high in the socialized Nordic countries.

  You're going to love socialist Europe. Almost all European countries have "socialized" medicine, six-week vacations and other "liberal" benefits. Have the time of your life living in societies you totally disapprove of!

  The purchase taxes on a Ferrari in these countries is about equal to the price of the car.
