  October 2nd, 2014: The World Ends Tomorrow, Taking all Bets!

  by Oubliette in

  on october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, founder of the watchtower, announced that the gentile times have ended!.

  tomorrow will be exactly 100 years since his historic announcment.. to commemorate this centennial occasion, i will gladly take bets in any amount of money that the world will not end tomorrow and that on friday, october 3rd, 2014 gmt, we will still all be here, for better or worse.. any die-hard jws interested in taking the other side of this friendly little wager?

  still hoping the big "a" is coming tomorrow and your loving god, jehovah, is going to commit mass genocide and execute 99.9% of earth's population because they don't follow the dictates the 7 members of the "faithful and discreet slave," aka, the governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.

  the flood, mammoths, elphants, and food.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my question is since it looks as though mammoths were alive after the flood and we know elephants are then how much food was needed to feed just these four animals for the time they were on the ark.

  also was the ark, 500 feet long, big enough to hold the amount of food needed for just these 4 animals.. .

  Caedes: the dialog is like this:

  • Bob: george bush is six feet tall
  • alice no!
  • bob: how tall is he the?
  • alice: you understand nothing. He is not six feet tall
  • bob: this book sayes: "george w bush is six feet tall"
  • alice: you are taking it out of context. You are a joke
  • bob: but how tall do you think he is?
  • (two pages later)
  • alice: his net effective height is six feet
  • bob: ...so you agree?
  • alice: no! You understand nothing!
  • Bob: wth.
  • alice: i win!

  around here bob realise that alice sees george bushs height as being composed by the distance from his toes to waist and from the waist to head, and so she is insisting we should say his net total height is six feet and not just his height is six feet, as if these were different things. I think viviane started out with a genuine disagreement with me four pages back (see the insistence the shell theorem involved two radiuses), but she realised this was not a good point and so settled for the above tiresome discussion.

  Returning to the effective grav field vs just the grav field. I think we agree this is entirely about semantics at this point, which is not to say i am changing my mind. However here is a point to consider wrt the hollow sphere: if we use the term effective field, what does that mean? My intuitive notion is we might call it the effective field because it is a superposition of smaller "true" fields, however what are those fields? The system only consists of a spherical mass density, and so any insistence on a true division into finitely many "true" fields that are non-zero is both arbitrary and false. for this reason i think the word "effective" should be considered to have roughly the same status as another qualifier like "large", and i suggest this may be a reason it is avoided in a context where exactness matters like in the book cosmology. This may be reading to much into the text though.

  Comparing the situation to electrostatics the situation here is simpler: we could say the electric field is that due to a single electron, and the effective field is then the superposition of many simpler fields. This is simpler and more sensible, however i am sure your three friends often use the word "electric field" to describe the field of something more than a single electron!

  the point i return to is this: if we insist the use of "the gravitational field" is physically wrong, and not just a semantic difference, we need to endow the words "the gravitational field" and "effective grav field " with a specific meaning. I just cant tell what that should be in this context. If your friends have a suggestion i would be happy to hear it. Cheers.

  Bohm: yap viviane, I didn't use your preferred words and so I must be wrong.

  Viv: You are. Thanks for admitting it. As, as someone with a physics degree, it seems like you would know something about how important is to be both precise AND accurate.

  ...I feel this is somehow lowering the trolling standards . Perhaps it is good of you to retire.

  aw come on viviane! the person made a very minor mistakes in the units! Force has units of newton, a sum of forces has units of newton, but the grav. field have units of newton per unit mass! Trolllololololol away!

  sorry to hear you are going, but bye! Be on your merry way! i must admit i was quite frustrated before noticing you was trolling, but the last few pages have been fun.

  7 Reasons Why “Babylon the Great” was Jerusalem

  by Tiresias in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  authors david chilton (1987) and james stuart russell (1878) propose that the revelation is primarily a prophecy of the destruction of ancient jerusalem by the roman armies.

  the revelation is jerusalem's armageddon (mountain of assembled roman troops).

  i see the revelation as a war siren warning the first century christians of the imminent destruction of the city.

  Faith - Virtue or Vice?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  faith gives you permission to believe that jesus actually did feed thousands with a few loaves & fishes, walk on water and rise from the grave.

  all the evidence proves that none of this happened so why persist with faith?

  why be dishonest with yourself?

  Viviane: Quick! I found someone you can troll! There is a person on this very thread who wrote:

  I'm truly puizzled why you and I can plainly realize that field, the sum total of it's forces,

  Since the field do not have units of force, but units of force per unit of mass, it cannot be the sum of forces and so you can write THIS IS WRONG YOU MORON YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND PHYSICS!!!!11!!!! for about 10 pages! Do not miss this excellent trolling oppertunity, for once you will actually be discussing with a person who will be technically wrong under a hostile interpretation rather than simply not using your preferred words and phrases!
