  A New World is here, and YHWH's version is out of date

  that highly emotive headline is just to have a wack at bible believers.

  but the world around is showing so many signs of change, that it's certainly looking like something new is here.. for example, driverless cars and buses are now possible.

  and its the buses that are already hitting the road.. watch this video, and say hello to the usa's olli:.

  Finkelstein: Are you one of those paranoid over AI or something ?

  Not at all, Finkelstein. I'm rather intrigued by contemporary processes. And, at my age I'm unlikely to see too many more changes. And even if I was, it would make no difference to whether or not something becomes commonplace.

  My approach was slightly tongue in cheek, until I took a good look at the last videos.

  Imagine some of those things in the hands of one of those crazies that seem relatively common in the USA. Instead of buying a stock of high-powered rifles, he invests in a couple of hundred of those tiny drones programmed to recognise human faces and kill them. Scary huh?

  Finkelstein: " who is going to be there if some unruly thug or thugs get on the bus and starts abusing people ???"

  Glad you asked Finkelstein, there is an answer, its the reverse side of the following coin, and its all to scary for me ....

  Or in Finland ( The Finns seem to be the first to have decided to use them):

  All of which poses a question. The drivers of buses around where I live are threatening to strike, because the local bus service is being privatised. It seems they should be more concerned about the possibility that they will be without jobs at all in the not too distant future.

  And, if you visit the very modern city of Shenzhen in China's south, you may soon catch one of these buses now under trial:

China is home to between 2,000 and 2,500 snow leopards, which roam across the provincial level regions of Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan and Inner Mongolia. Both the population of snow leopards and their habitat area in China account for more than half of the global total. (Xinhua)

  They are found is some other nations in the area, but about 50% of the estimated total are in China.

  A Graphic History of the World in Nineteen Minutes

  a great animation, showing the spread of humans across the globe (something like a troublesome rash spreading over your body).

  then, on to the gradual poltiticisation of humanity.

  interesting to watch the animated hi-speed spread of the mongol empire, which scared the sh*t out of europe.. the animation doesn't show religious brands (except islam, which was both a religious brand and a political brand).

  Yeah OK - I do not know any (still-in) jws anymore (outside of immediate family who seldom talk to me anyway).

  But I realised in the decade after 1975, that Proverbs 13:12, was soon going to apply to a lot of witnesses

  "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life." NIV,

  And, I am more confident than, ever that bloody old YHWH and his piss-weak son are not ever going to bring a paradise (on earth, or in heaven) to anyone who thinks of following them.

  I am quite aware that (now I am undeniably in "old age") I will die in the not too far off future. I totally regret wasting so many bloody decades trying to be like Jeeeezus. (What a bloody fool thing to try and do). In the meantime, I am quite happy, have a reasonably good life, with intellectually satisfying things to do. Even though some good friends have already died I seem to be able to make a few new ones.

  I'm so glad thatI got out when I did !

  But if you watch the general Palestine area you'll realise that YHWH and his JESUS sidekick, are a piddly little nothing until the Eastern and Western Roman Empires decide to spread their poison.
