  i don't have a clue how a computer works.

  i just turn it on and point and click and i am able to do what i need to do, unless of course something goes wrong, or in the worst case scenario if my little machine experiences the dreaded blue-screen crash, then i am really in a mess.

  that is the way the financial system is for most people.

  OZ asks YK

  But to equate that with the WTS is stretching the imagination too far! Was the WTS clearly "chosen" as God's possession?

  Neon Madman suggested that Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson were instuments of Jehovah similar to Jeremiah. I merely replied that if that were true it would mean that Jehovah's Witnesses were in fact God's people after all, since the reason that Jehovah sent Jeremiah to the Jews was to get them to live up to their covenant with him. Obviously, Madman hadn't really thought that all they way through. / You Know

  Neon madman asks YK

  Has it occurred to you that perhaps Jehovah is using Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson and others as his way of saying "ENOUGH," much as he used Jeremiah to a similar purpose when his "organization" back then became corrupt?

  That's possible. I wouldn't presume to say exactly what Jehovah would and wouldn't do in that respect. If that were true that would mean that it is still Jehovah's organization, though, right? Weren't the Jews God's people? In the case of Jeremiah he had no doubt that the Jews were Jehovah's people. It seems to me, though, that since Bill Bown and Mrs. Anderson have allied themselves with the faithless apostate movement that they themselves have ceased being Jehovah's Witnesses. It is an undeniable fact that many apostates are themselves grossly immoral. I view the apostate movement as nothing more than a lawless, torch-carrying, blood thirsty mob storming the Watchtower castle. Besides, no matter what the Watchtower does as far as changing its policies, or whatever, it is not going to stop sexual predators and other types of wicked absuers from doing what they do. Only Jehovah can get to the root of the problem and effect a permanent solution to the problem of child abuse. / You Know

  GRITS:

  Has YK been watching Trinity Broadcasting Network's Hal Lindsey? His "International Intelligence Briefing" news show this weekend was about the same $$$ subject, Crisis of Confidence.

  No. I don't get that where I live now, although I have seen it in the past. But, any marginally sentient creature is aware of what's going on Wall Street these days.

  Also, the man of lawlessness, which would already be in existence and controlling the "day's wages," he says is that worldwide group of bankers (those 'behind the scenes' guys) who took over in 1913 when the Federal Reserve came on the scene, etc. etc. International Finance is not one of my pet subjects, but I never knew that about the wording on the dollar bills. FWIW

  It is true that the Federal reserve is not a federal institution. A book entitiled the "Creature from Jekel Island" written about 20 years ago explained how private bankers secretly met on Jekel Island off the coast of Caolina back in 1912 in a conspiracy to launch the Federal Reserve in order to take money creation out of the hands of government. But, the bottom line is that regardless of who controls the money system, it has worked relatively well at times. Now, though it is apparent that policies put in place over recent decades were designed to deliberately blow the system up at a future point. We are now arriving at that point detonation. / You Know

  According to the medical establishment the worst thing that anyone could ever do is to seek the dreaded and cursed "alternative treatments." They would rather pronounce last rites over those whom they have deemed terminally ill victims than concede the possiblity that alternative medicine may help. No doubt many apostate Dubs would prefer to see the patient die too who has the audacity to decide for themselves how best they want to treat their illness. / You know

  Because you found a BBC article that says that Britain and America are friendly nations and have a "special" relationship, that proves that there is an "Anglo-American dual world power" so notable as to be the subject of Bible prophecy?

  I doubt if you have read to many history books, but the expression Anglo-American power is a very common expression. I simply linked you to an article that drew from those established historical sources.

  You want so badly to accept Watchtower dogma that you're grasping at straws .

  That's ridiculous. The existence of the Anglo-American dual world power in prophecy is about the easiest to prove. Of course, there are those who are so perversely ignorant so as to insist that the earth is flat and that NASA didn't land a man on the moon, so it is to be expected that people like yourself would also deny such obvious truths as the existence of an Anglo-American dual world power.

  Were Britain and America a "dual world power" during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, or were they enemies? Alliances and friendships between nations change over time, and Britain and America are no exception.

  No one is saying that Britian and America have always been yolked in a special relationship. The Watchtower certainly doesn't teach that. Where did you come up with that nonsense? History and the Watchtower recognizes that the Anglo-American dual world power was forged at the point when the United States entered WWI on the side of England and France. Before the sinking of the Lusitania there was no "special relationship." / You Know

  Does God love JOB?

  2. friends

  i have a sort of question.

  i have never been able to put together the saying god is love, and the story of job.

  i mean, here is a guy, who has spent his entire life in service of his god, no man on earth loves god as much as job.

  The issue that Satan brought up had as much to do with God's character as it did with Job's integrity. What Satan was saying was that God's creation was incapable of truely loving God because God was unlovable in the first place. The word "devil" in Hebrew literally means slanderer. So, the Devil slandered God. That's a pretty serious deal. Just think if someone publically said that you were a whore and that the only way you could get a man to "love" you is by granting liberal sexual favors. Wha if people belived that about YOU? Wouldn't you want to set the record straight? Of course you would.

  But, God couldn't personally set the record straight because you can't make someone love you. That's what the Devil was accusing God of, that He was bribing Job to be his worshipper. So, that's why God allowed Satan to bring a severe test upon Job in order to allow Job to demonstrate that his devotion to God was not dependent merely upon what he could get out of the relationship. Had Job known what was going on between God and Satan he would have no doubt volunteerd for the test, as Christ later did. But, in order for the test to satisfy the Devil it had to appear to Job as if God was responsible for the evil he was made to suffer, which he was indirectly since he did allow the Devil to have his way. In effect the Devil laid the smoking gun next to Jehovah and asked Job: "What do you think of your Almighty friend now mister?"

  But, Jehovah demonstrated his ability and desire to set things right, which he did by doubling all of Job's losses, plus doubling his children by means of the resurrection. Hope that helps / You Know

  The victims want you to stand up like Bill Bowen and say ENOUGH

  First off, I am sorry for what happened to you. Your outrage is certainly justified. And I am angry too. But, I have to tell you that Bill Bowen or Barbara Anderson saying "ENOUGH" is not enough. YK saying "ENOUGH" ain't going to cut it either. What I have consistently pointed to as the only solution to the evil of child abuse, both in the organization and outside, as well as the numerous other problems afflicting the organization, is when Jehovah says: ENOUGH! The Watchtower's tinkering with it's child abuse policy may help, but the root of the problem is that men are just plain evil, and getting worse by the day. Jehovah's purpose is not just to patch things up and try and make this system more livable, he proposes to scrap the whole rotten system. This thread that I started has to do with presenting before the reader facts indicating that the present global financial system is in the final stages of collapse. That is a preliminary to Jehovah bringing himself into judgment with his organization. Believe me, Jehovah has the will and the means to set things straight among haughty elders. So if you want justice, real justice, Bill Bowen is not your savior, Jehovah is your only hope. He can undo the harm that you have suffered and he can punish those who are responsible. But is has to come from God. The Psalm says that salvation by man is worthless. / You Know

  Goofy Gopher says, that once market confidence is restored then its back to happy days.

  That ain't gonna happen. The reason why is that previously during other market crisis the Fed always lowered interest rates and goosed the markets back up. That can't happen now because the short term interest rates, factoring in inflation, are already effectively zero. They have pretty much shot their last shot. http://www.observer.co.uk/economy/story/0,1598,758915,00.html
