  apparently the wts believes that the present number of witnesses around the world is only just the beginning>.

  the january 15, 2002 issue of the watchtower states; "amid the world's present darkness, 'foreigners'-the emerging great crowd of sheeplike ones-enjoy jehovah's light together with the anointed christians.

  hi ozzipost:

  As for me, I believe that the matters go a very peculiar and unexpected way. But that's my idea only.

  Nevertheless, YHVH's (JHWH's) intention to change the world totally will happen.

  ....people other than JW's would be saved? If so, quite interesting.

  Why not ? We have got no idea what really can happen. YHVH (JHWH) is a merciful God.

  An Internet Apostate

  an internet "apostate" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the internet.

  s/he tries to start arguments and upset people.. apostates see internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game.

  for some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people.

  You mean "victims of apostates" who are apostates themselves.

  Well it's sorta like this, Erich:

  According to 1 Corinthians 2:9 only those who are spiritual people with a close relationship with Jehovah can understand deep spiritual things. This naturally excludes apostates from having any understanding of anything having to do with spiritual matters...

  Question:

  Am I an apostate in your eyes too? Please give me an answer.

  One of the greatest problems for the mankind...

  one of the greatest problems for the future of our economy is only known by few "insiders".

  even wts do not know this matter.

  since i'm a patent-expert, it's perhaps my own business to talk about it.

  Stephanus:

  >your first comment reminds me of that famous quote from the head of the US Patent office in the 1870s - something along the lines of "We might as well shut up shop - everything that can be invented has been!" <
  
  Sorry, but this "famous" quote is wrong.
  Please take a look to the book "The End of Science" written by John Horgan.
  On page 20, Horgan calls this story "an apocryphal legend". The commissioner of patents, Henry Ellsworth, remarked in 1843 at a US-congressional- testimony as follows:
  
  "The advancement of the arts, from year to year, taxes our credulity and seems to presage the arrival of that period when human improvement must end".
  
  Unfortunately, Ellsworth made himself untrustworthy. He asked for extra funds to cope with the flood of inventions he expected in agriculture, transportation and communication; and 2 years later he expressed pride at having expanded the patent office…
  
  Actually, Ellsworth was a visionary. He anticipated the argument, that GUNTHER STENT made more than a century later:
  
  The faster the science moves, the faster it will reach it's ultimate INEVITABLE LIMITS.
  
  Today, we see the fulfilling of this prophecy in the breakdown of the system for protection of intellectual property, and in the crash of the New Economy. The recent troubles are only the begin.

  Stephanus: A patent is not a licence to print money - the only way to keep making money on an invention is to keep improving upon it...<
  
  Exactly.
  And just this is the weak point of innovations in NewEconomy today..
  
  1) Developers and technicians can iterate and cumulate same base
  technologies or algorithms (e.g. software!)
  2) Or they can miniaturize same base product
  3) Or they can make it faster
  4) Or they can improve reliability
  4) Or they can change the DESIGN
  5) Or they can improve small details, but not the key principle or base method !

  In fact, they are not able to invent enough GENUINE NEW products (patentable and licensable, so the producer could make enough money!) - the customer would run buying them (what had happened e.g. when the first color TV devices came on the market)...

  I do not smoke. What I write is true.
  
  As a consequence of this disastrous global patenting- and licensing-situation, crashes of stocks and investments, especially in the sector of NewEconomy, will happen frequently and in shorter time periods.
  
  See Japan as an excellent example for what had happened. Japanese economy was hoping (and staring) at infinite growth in new patentable inventions in the fields of electronics, IT, computer and robotics technology.
  Years by years, decades by decades.
  
  In 1994, the nikkei-index reached nearly 40 000 pts. The crash came when they began to realize that it'd be impossible to invent so many patentable and licensable new products as would be necessary to meet the high claims and expectations of investors, banks, education systems, and government (budget deficit!). The nikkei-index began rapidly to fall; and now it is in the near of 10 000 pts!
  
  Same happened in NewEconomy of Europe and USA in May 2000. It's the result of a damaged and destroyed patent- and license system, nothing else. The whole sphere of intellectual property is in highest danger.

  It is a fact, that in the beginning 21. century less and less new inventions and new products can be patented and legally protected sufficiently. This is valid in all the computer - and IT - industry all around.

  The consequence of this fact is price-decay of many products. Simultaneously, and of course, many (often highly qualified!) employees loses their jobs. In order to survive, the production of electronic Hi-Tech-Systems (Hard - and Software) often must get out-sourced into low-price-countries like Indonesia, Taiwan or China.
  
  On the other hand, pharmaceutical-, bio - or genetic engineering-companies do not suffer under inadequate patentability. It's relatively easily for them to get good and legal-consistent patents on their inventions. This leads to a dangerous situation: Results of researches and developments of essential importance for the future of the mankind, such as cell-therapy, cloning, genom-analyzing etc. have got "flooded" with patents. So in such branches it is nearly impossible to practise free scientific researches, and furthermore, the patents and licenses are too expensive to be paid by the poor…
  
  For many years, patent-experts are storming their brains to find solutions; but it is impossible to find a way out.
  
  My opinion is this: If Harmagedon should take place, then the situation described could serve as a kind of "trigger". That Crash of the NewEconomy 2000 - 2001 has been an attribute of this situation.
  A very strong attribute.

  freeman:
  
  since I'm a patent-expert, I would be very interested to find out the type of technology wherein Rand Cam Corp. has got patent rights.

  For they own 50% of this firm, WTS is supposedly now patent-holder of very important technology too...
  
  An interesting oddity could happen, if a "brother" goes to establish his own company to manufacture some products, which accidentally had become patented by the WTS' firm. He possibly sometimes could become infringer of a patent which owns the WTS, and never know, that the attorneys - who accuse him at the court - are lawyers who indirectly got employed by WTS !
