  VW emissions cheating and driverless cars

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  when i first heard about this it sounded like they just had a mode that was optimizing the vehicle's emission levels which sounded good.. turns out, they were detecting when a car was being tested to cheat the control system.. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-34311819.

  their shares are down 19% - but larger than the financial fallout is the trust.

  this is the worlds largest car manufacturer!.

  Simon:But we're supposed to trust them when it comes to driverless cars?

  Driverless cars are the way of the future and they are coming faster than most people think and are soon to be more ubiquitous than anyone can imagine.

  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/11879182/First-driverless-pods-to-travel-public-roads-arrive-in-the-Netherlands.html

  The biggest hold up lies with the legal ramifications that are likely to occur. For example if your driverless car gets nabbed for speeding or is involved in a collision who is at fault? Not the driver or the car manufacturer maybe the software firm that developed the on-board navigation system. There are also privacy concerns with data logging of where you've been and the list goes on. The lawyers are going to have a field day with this.

  Vehicles are getting too expensive especially in places like china and in many more developed jurisdictions labour to produce them is getting too expensive. Thats why the Asia Trans-Pacific Trade deal is such a big deal right now.

  In places like Canada its going to be a bit more difficult to fully develop the driverless automobile market because of our Northern Latitude. Imagine being in a driverless car in a prairie snow storm. LOL.

  I can envision a day in the not too distant future when hardly anyone will still own their vehicle. It will be much easier and cheaper to subscribe to a driverless taxi service.

  Secret Slave Class: Since we are encouraged to imitate him we'd better all start behaving like assholes. God must have been proud that Adolf Hitler had these same qualities
  

  Yes but poor old Adolf didn't have a second death or a lake of fire to deal with his mentally diseased. He being just a mortal had to contend with extermination camps and ovens.

  At least god has the loving provision to use his spirit directed organization and people to clean the human mentally diseased debris.

  please, who can provide an intelligent rebuttal to the following illustration?

  i always thought it was bullet-proof:.

  "if your doctor directs you to 'abstain from alcohol' would you be ok to have it injected into your veins rather than drink it?

  Works the same way with other things too Marvin. Insulin for example taken by needle it reduces blood glucose levels swallowed or otherwise taken internally does nothing.

  Updated online Insight book still using offensive term 'Mentally diseased'

  by defender of truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  they have made changes/updates, such as to the 'genereation' teaching, as mentioned on another thread.. and yet this mistranslated verse still remains, allowing the offensive and hateful application of it to continue.

  take a look at these quotes from the online insight book..(watchtower quotes are included as well, handy if you don't already know how they apply this term).. bible words indexed (4 occurrences).

  mentally diseased, 1ti 6:4.. .

  Sigh! Does anyone remember the scene from the movie The big Red One. In the midst of the carnage to come it will probably be the last thought that goes through my mentally diseased mind.I'l lay down my figurative soup spoon of knowledge, pick up the sword of the spirit and associated spiritual food and ammo and say "I am sane! I am one of you. I am sane! I am sane....and maybe with a moment of clarity and a last minute re-conversion continue on helping with the killing spree.

  What's the opposite of mentally diseased ? Mentally healthy?

  It's so nice to know that all the loyal followers of the governing body are the opposite of mentally diseased and are therefore mentally healthy. It must be the fear of their loving creator that makes them this way.

  We all know that some were fornicators, idolaters, thieves, murderers, child molesters and the like before they came into the truth and some still are from time to time when they slip backwards. Now though they are all mentally healthy and I am one of the diseased ones who never was a thief or murderer or the like.

  Sigh! I guess it must be the diseased state of my mind that doesn't allow me to comprehend why? It's too bad the mentally healthy are forbidden by the governing body to associate or even pray for me. If I had not chosen science to trust instead of gods representatives here on earth maybe I could pray too, to somebody for help in restoration of my diseased faculties.

  Sigh! I'll just take my place with the other mentally diseased members of humanity who are about to be annihilated by your loving god. After all what has science ever contributed to humanity? If I wasn't mentally diseased I would be unhappy but sadly I'm not!

  Sigh! Ignorance is bliss if I could only get me some?

  Evidently we are on to something Prologos

  formula: 2 times publisher time since 1914 plus 1914 equals A. bang.

  with that clarification it should be understandable by all. Thanks for clearing that up.

  I think prologos is off a bit in his calculation. Since there was no year zero we have to subtract 1 from 1914=1913

  why not subtract zero? Because zero plus one = 1

  1913 is the 293 prime number and the 125 th prime between 1001 and 2000.

  All prophesies are prime so wouldn't it be appropriate for the prime fulfillment of Jehovah's prophesy to come to pass after 2000 but not before 125 years have passed thus indicating we are indeed very well along in the last days and conclusion of this system of things. So simple its almost stupid!

  In next week's study we will examine what a week and a year really indicate in terms of prime fulfillment of prophesy.

  Elusive happiness teaches a hidden truth!

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many seek happiness externally and many a time assign others the possession of their happiness.

  when they derive a sort of happiness from external sources, they dont feel satisfied, hence jump to the next and then to the next .... in contrast, jesus said gods kingdom (or real happiness) is within (entos) you.

  this cannot be misinterpreted as jesus being the king of the kingdom was amidst them as jws do.

  I never heard of the Brahma Kumaris Cult prior to coming to this site. Icon is beating a dead horse if he thinks he's going to recruit here. He/She should be sharing his pearls of wisdom with active engaged JW's who have been conditioned, trained and are willing not to think.

  about a month ago, i had started a thread about a video the wts had released of an interview with the minister of tourism for zimbabwe.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/430330002/interview-zimbabwes-minister-tourism-jw-hq.

  the video in that thread is no longer online.. the following article highlights the relgious tourism that the jehovah's witnesses have brought to africa.. african govts must prioritise tourism for economic growth: mzembi.

  african governments must prioritise tourism development to stimulate economic growth and development on the continent, tourism minister walter mzembi has said.mzembi, who is also united nations world tourism organisation (unwto) chairman of the commission for africa, said tourism had long-term intangible benefits that came with enhancing destinations amid reports that zimbabwes projected 5,1% tourism growth for 2015/16 was ahead of all other economic sectors.. he advocated for the scaling up of religious tourism, telling the audience that jehovahs witnesses who thronged zimbabwe for their first international convention in the country had set a fine example which should be followed by all church organisations.. jehovahs witnesses held their international convention in harare.

  My wife's uncle moved from Italy to South Africa right after WW2 . He managed to send us a case of Landskroon wine. It came into Canada through the South African Embassy in Ottawa. The best wine I've tasted in a long time. Her uncle said it was so plentiful in South Africa that they boiled their spaghetti in it. Sadly he's dead now and his trophy wife is spending his fortune all over the world.

  The strangest thing was after we heard of his death we got a cheque in the mail from a Numbered South African Company in London England for 60,000 Pounds. On a lark I took it to the HSBC Bank locally and they said for a small fee they would certify and cash it. That made me nervous so I turned it over to the local RCMP and we never heard anything about it any more. I always suspected there was a connection between him and that cheque. I kind of regret it now I could have walked out of the bank with 60K Pounds Cash.
