  Did WTC really leave the UN as an NGO? One corporation of theirs did, but they joined initially for a reason and that reason still exists. WTC creates corporations like Hunter Biden creates precious works of art (sarcasm).

  It cannot be denied that they are supporting the OSCE. As well, they don't denounce the UN with the zeal that they once did - in fact they rarely utter a word of criticism for the UN. Sounds to me that they are still very much involved with the entity they claim is the Wild Beast.

  Of course JW apologists do not want to admit any of this. That degree of blind loyalty appears foolish to me but what do I know? I am happy, living a life that I am not ashamed of.

  elder friend of mine texted me asking what my rc attendance was 2 weeks ago (family and i streamed it since wife is not well).

  he told me that his rc in the jersey city assembly hall last weekend was low.

  co told them that around 2600 were the total from 16+ congs that were assigned.

  DOYKL - wow! That is just incredible! I bet that little flock is getting a reaming from the assigned COs! I have seen more people in a VW than there are in that group.

  The currently missing 'Titan' submarine. What do you think?

  by SydBarrett in

  any opinions are just speculation, but my guess, being morbid, is that there was not a hull breach and implosion (although that would have been the most merciful fate for them), but instead the amateur level of building this thing meant that it lost power and communication and got itself tangled in the titanic's wreckage or is sitting on the actual seabed with no way to release ballast to resurface.

  terrifying.

  what's your gut feeling?

  Geeez Simon! They’re not even confirmed dead yet for heaven sake, and you’re already saying what most of us are thinking.

  Rattigan, I once viewed the assemblies and conventions as mixers for finding a wife. But now even that seems to have gone by the wayside. They now serve as revenue streams only sprinkled with a little control for flavor.

  All questions can be answered by "Logan's Run".

  Logan and others were happy living in bliss until they turned 30, and faced death. They were happier when they broke out of the domes.

  I am only sad because I did not leave the Org sooner than I did. I have no illusions about false bliss experienced while a subject of WTC.

  Blondie - I also recall WTC claiming that (now that you mention it). At the time I thought it was a disinguous claim. Glad you remembered that!

  If you do send a letter, here are a few options you might consider:

  1. Include a bill for reimbursal of all the contributions you made while in. Itemize carefully and indicate it should be paid in full in 30 days or else...

  2. Tell them Jesus told you to do it. Be as authentic as possible.

  3. Write it in crayon and draw some pictures - stick figures of you.

  4. Make a fold out and use Michael Jacksons face.

  5. Put a picture of a really cool sports car and say this is another reason you left.

  6. Ask if everyone you knew was able to get over the STD's they contracted on the last Intl' Convention - be sincere.

  7. Ask if they could drop by the local Catholic parish where some kind fellows were asking for a visit. Give the address. Make it believable.

  8. Do nothing and live your life, find joy, have a great meal and an even better beer.

  Top AI inventor Geoffrey Hinton reluctantly concluded that AI will probably humanity fairly soon

  geoffrey hinton, major inventor of artificial intelligence: .

  “if you take the existential risk seriously, as i now do—i used to think it was way off, but now i think it’s serious, and fairly close—it might be quite sensible to just stop developing these things any further, but i think it’s completely naïve to think that would happen.

  there’s no way to make that happen.

  "AI is a higher level but it is slso (sic) only a program, a calculator, as cofty said needs a battery and can burn a capacitor or blow out a circuit."

  If it gets 300 miles on a single charge, that's a lot of "Death Race 2000" to sit through. Is David Carradine still alive? Let's ask him if an AI EV could kill more people than Uma Thurmond searching for Bill.

  I recall Sandra Bullock in a movie years ago that depicted identity theft and other malicious online surveillance that threatened to ruin her life. I thought it was silly at the time, but now identity theft could/should be one word since it happens so much.

  I suppose it is only a matter of time before something really amazing (bad) happens and we wake up to the real danger. It wasn't that long ago that warnings began to surface about CRISPR (gene splicing device). Covid came along as the technology was rocketing skyward. Covid ended - CRISPR stock tanked. I don't claim there was correlation but it does seem that when we figure out how to do something, the first thing we often do is something stupid. At least I do - I'm not proud of it.
