  by Simon in

  2. current

  ok, specifically he was talking about hitler.

  apparently he was asked whether, if he could go back in time, he would kill him when he was a baby.. and he said "hell yeah !".

  but still wtf?

  Simon: He had three options:

  1) duck the question

  2) say he would kill a baby

  3) say he would allow the holocaust

  All three options are bad & none of them give us any insight in his politics, morals or anything relevant. If this is not an example of a stupid question I can't say what is.

  Why is this anymore relevant than:

  Jeb Bush, have you stopped beating your wife?

  In related news: "Jeb Bush, would you sleep with your mom if it cured cancer?"

  headline: "Jeb Bush admits: 'I am a motherfucker'"

  yah... really classy journalism.

  a non-witness insider told me this week that the wts has financial problems.

  that lead to halting down their building plans and lay off the special pioneers and.

  bethelites.. the reason of the financial stagnation is beside some bad investments,.

  Thanks Gorby, it seems there are more and more indications of critical voices within the org. One has to wonder if forcing them to stay in at high positions is really all that great for the org in the long run.

  How confident are you about various so called facts?

  no facts about the world are absolutely certain.

  that being the case i wonder how others would rank amd rate their confidence in various factual statements about the world.

  i am going to rate my confidence in ten items of "knowledge" as a percentage.

  no seriously, the idea your beliefs can be ranked in terms of degree of certainty on the same scale is pure Bayesian theory of confirmation

  SBF -- I think your approach to uncertainty/certainty expressed in your initial post is quite different from the views you expressed before your exile. Do you feel you have revised your beliefs yourself?

  So either Jehovahs blessing (just kidding), or because they can move forward quicker on selling buildings and they need the cash FAST.

  SBF -- perhaps you should introduce "Santas" as an evidential scale -- the degree to which an ordinary adult believe santa is real.

  So the earth is flat: 0.5 SANTAS

  JWs has the truth: 0.1 SANTAS
