Crackpot Prophet: "We were betrayed by ineptness and probably demonic influence from Amazon Kindle"

What a gloriously sunny day in California, where the sheer idiocy emanating from Grover Beach rolls on without a single pause. Nothing should shock us anymore when the Great Bwana opens his mouth, but alas, it never fails to deliver fresh absurdity. Ever since God supposedly dreamed up this end-time prophet while laying the very foundations of the world, this destined hero was fated to "restore" the one true church and churn out countless booklets in native languages, all to fulfill some half-baked prophecy that wasn't even fully invented at that time.

Never has the Church of God been blessed with a more "persecuted" prophet than our very own Great Bwana Bob! If John Foxe, the esteemed author of Foxe's Book of Martyrs, were still kicking around today, he'd undoubtedly dedicate an entire chapter to the harrowing, intense persecution our fearless leader has endured. Forget boiling vats of oil or having his flesh flayed off—nope, not for Bob. His torment comes in the form of a demonic persecution by Kindle. And people wonder why Armstrongism has devolved into a total laughingstock these days.

 

Amazon Kindle

We were betrayed by ineptness and probably demonic influence from Amazon Kindle.

The Apostle Paul wrote that the faithful Christians “do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12).

Last Friday, Amazon Kindle said that they were suspending our account because supposedly we did not have the rights to publish the meditation book I wrote. This came up in the past, and although I did write that book and tried to show Amazon, they would not accept the truth, so we published that with another company.

When I appealed Amazon’s position on Friday and asked Amazon for specifics, it replied that they did not need to provide any. Early Sunday I wrote again, but Amazon further said its procedures allowed them to do what they wanted. Amazon, also, would not have me speak to anyone there to ask about the issues. And then Monday at 1:33 pm EDT, Amazon sent an email stating that they were removing all of our materials from their platform.

So, we are in the process of trying to figure out how to move all our books in multiple languages to another platform. This will be a monumental task and take a lot of time and resources. Although there are a few possible positives associated with leaving Amazon, this is a serious issue that may take at least a year to mostly (not entirely) resolve.

The Great Bwana's god got so angry over this that he caused a great outage of Amazon's web services! Magical god is all-powerful! Do not anger Bwana Bob's magical god!

Coincidentally (?), I (without looking for anything bad about Amazon) saw that the following that hit Amazon within hours of it sending out a final cancellation notice to us:

Amazon said its cloud computing service was recovering from a major outage that disrupted online activity around the world. Amazon Web Services provides remote computing services to many governments, universities and companies, including The Associated Press. The first signs of trouble emerged at around 3:11 a.m. Eastern Time, when Amazon Web Services reported on its Health Dashboard that it is “investigating increased error rates and latencies for multiple AWS services in the US-EAST-1 Region.” https://apnews.com/article/2025-amazon-web-service-outage-zoom-roblox-down

The next day, I happened to have run across the following from the BBC:

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage on Monday made global headlines after knocking some of the world’s largest sites offline for hours. … the outage has also reignited the debate around whether countries, including the UK, are over-dependent on a handful of US tech firms. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0jdgp6n45po

Interestingly, AWS typically accounts for 60–70% — or more — of Amazon’s total operating income (profit). If its latest disruption gets major clients to move, that will impact Amazon.

Anyway, that said, Satan does not want our information available and has influenced various other platforms to remove us and/or shadow ban us.

However, as the organization with the mantle of the Philadelphian remnant, we will move ahead. And working on functioning without Amazon Kindle is something that has taken up a fair amount of my time since Sunday.

The proclamation work of Matthew 24:14 and 28:19-20 will continue and we continue to strive to go through the doors that Jesus opens for His Philadelphian remnant (cf. Revelation 3:7-13...
