  the great depression had more to do with shaping the character and defining the last century than any other event, except the great wars that caused and followed the depression.

  the structure of the financial system though has radically changed since that time, in that it is many times larger, global in fact, and it is much more fragile and complex, in that it reacts nearly instantaneously to various factors.

  the average person is now much more dependent upon and indebted to the system as well.

  Like most economists, Keynes did not claim to be God's mouthpiece on Earth

  No, but many morons mistook him for God, and along with Alan Greenspan, many apparently still do. / You Know

  Lots of people made money leading up to the Great Depression. That's the point. Financial bubbles always create the illusion of prosperity, and most people are seduced by the mirage. Sure, people are still making money now, but it is not going to last---that's the point. It's just paper in most cases, which not coincidently, so is confetti. So, unless you paid cash for your house and all that junk that you bought, what you are telling us is that you are like millions of Americans in that you are in debt up to your neck. And what's worse, you have deluded into thinking that you are rich! That's the definition of a sap.

  You Know, please please PLEASE enroll in college and take some economics courses.

  Do you know who John Maynard Keynes is? If you take a college course in economics, you will likely be steeped in Keynsian economic philosophy. He is considered to be one of the founders of modern economics. On the page that I linked to his quote is on the top of the list. Do you want to revise your imbecilic advice?

  "We will not have any more crashes in our time."
  - John Maynard Keynes in 1927

  The Great Depression had more to do with shaping the character and defining the last century than any other event, except the great wars that caused and followed the Depression. The structure of the financial system though has radically changed since that time, in that it is many times larger, global in fact, and it is much more fragile and complex, in that it reacts nearly instantaneously to various factors. The average person is now much more dependent upon and indebted to the system as well. For instance, back in the 30's half the population was still living in rural areas and had a degree of self-sufficiency. Society, too, was more docile and governable. Hence, we see pictures of gaunt and desperate men standing patiently in soup lines to get their daily ration. That would never happen today. The cities would go up in smoke if people miss the next meal.

  The one thing that hasn't changed though in the 70-year interim, is the foolishness, greed, and denial that caused the crash in the first place. In the United States the kind of thinking that the good times will never end has once again pervaded nearly everyone's mind. Even the recent 4-5 trillion dollar NASDAQ crash has been propagandized as a "market correction," a mere bump in the road to greater riches. Of course that's a lie. The financial system is mortally wounded. Many companies and nations are staggering under mounting losses as the underlying economy crumbles.

  The reason this is noteworthy is that the physcology of denial, evident in the world in general, is the basic thinking behind the apostate movement today. Jesus said as much when he described the reasoning of his evil slave, who says: "My master is delaying." Evidently as the last days drag on, more and more Christians are seduced by the reasoning or ridiculers that "all things are continuing exactly the same." The evil slave then trots out the undeniable record of false expectations of the faithful slave, and says, 'See, they've been saying the system was going to end for over 100 years, and the kingdom is no nearer now than it was back then.' Of course, Jesus acknowledged that his arrival would appear to delay, even into the proverbial last watch of the night, which is obviously where we are presently. That delay is in fact what induces the apostasy among the faithless in the first place.

  At any rate, Jehovah's Witnesses aren't the only ones who have suffered false expectations. I thought some of you might enjoy reading some famous last words that were uttered by "experts" in the period leading up to the Great Depression. It puts things into perspective today. More on looming doom soon. / You Know

  The stupidity is on your part in attacking a man that has been dead for nearly 60 years. It appears that the Judge's writings have a greater influence over apostates than they do over the average Witness, reflected in your obsession with him. / You Know

  A short statement on the long shift

  as a sit writing this i will say that i am possibly going through one of the toughest times of my life right now.

  i have recently told the elders of my congregation that i have identified myself as "queer" and it has been one of the toughest roads i have ever had to walk.

  i am not trying to offend anyone on the boards by telling you this but i feel that it's important to live honestly and my decission to "come out" to people in the congregation is one based on trying to live honestly.

  You are just in the wrong organization that's all. The Bible speaks of those who went out from among us because they were not of our sort. Obviously you are not of our sort. The sooner you make the separation complete the better for you and us. / You Know

  LATEST INSTALLMENT OF APOSTATE "DOOM"...

  by You Know in

  2. friends

  as the last days wind down to their dramatic conclusion, prophecies that were heretofore obscure, over time have now come more sharply into focus.

  one such prophecy that bears review is the oft-quoted verse concerning the "increasing of lawlessness.

  " typically the watchtower has pointed to increasing criminal lawlessness in the world as evidence of the fulfillment of that particular feature of the sign of christ's imminent arrival.
