  What Is Truth?

  by minimus in

  just because you believe something as truth, it doesn’t make it truth.

  religious leaders may be admired and believed but they could be dead wrong.

  politicians can spout out “facts” that support their truth yet once further evidence comes through these facts are questionable.

  Truth tends to line up with reality and is generally done with no harmful intent. --Someone can be sworn in as a witness --- tbn

  Truth are stories. even scientific papers, equations, or articles about them.

  some are told to teach moral truth to young females: the talking snake, little red riding hood and the wolf.

  wItness, at their baptism, swear so to speak, to proclaim wt truth ., wholly based on the talking snake tale, and obey the wt organisation, creating a new reality for them , the wt truth. so:

  new facts can be created. not all pretty. often only facades.

  sadly, fiction is more popular than science knowledge, the look behind it all.

  We have to add the caveat that "truth" is not Absolute, it is just possible that new Facts may emerge which modify, or very occasionally even overturn, what we previously thought of as "truth". P

  the facts are absolute, truth, our view of them, not. One thing is, that all the facts we know are of the past. which does not exist any more.

  For all we know, the sun we see, could have disappeared 500 seconds ago. Even what we see, hear now, can be distorted, delayed, think of gravitational lensing, the time gap between lightning and thunder.

  science will give us better eyes and ears to narrow the gap between facts and our knowledge of them aka "the truth". for the theme of this site,

  JWfacts is better than JWtruth.

  truth in the dutch language is waarheid, from the word for " was" so it is established past facts, that can not be changed. stood the test of time., because they happened in times past. now:

  truth about what? and dont quote Pravda.

  hilarious analogy, I like that

  nbd : yeah, in the old days, before the society introduced stricter outlines, you really could give the audiences some treats at the meetings and assemblies.

  The symbols on my keyboard actually are lit up; even then, when I look up at my work, I often see that my finger landed on 'America' instead of the looked for 'India.'

  For good reason wt does not want the elders to discuss doctrine with dissenters. humour can be humiliating.

  On all those locations, Farnborough, Bourget, Toronto, Abbotsford to name a few, there where spectacular crashes. People go to races to watch wipeouts.

  I doubt any of the "in" witnesses present at that moment would have "rejoiced" over those tragedies, the premature end of this system's armor. the loss of life, even for spectators, for the sake of live entertainment.

  On Thursday & Friday, the planes would practice --" FFG.

  The worshippers of Thor would believe this as a signs from their deity. Sign and wonders of the last days.

  Have You Been “Gaslit”?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  gaslighting is a form of sustained manipulation that causes the victim to question or doubt their sanity, judgment and memories.

  it’s a form of emotional abuse.

  i think jehovah’s witnesses have been gaslit.

  In today's wt study, June 6. par. 3, wt complains that some will consider it a service to god to persecute believers.( as the scriptures state), but

  that is exactly what wtBtS inc and it's followers try to do , -- to those that expose them as deluded, or the frauds that they are. and

  they say that they do not like "snide" comments , to be warded off by christian armor. -- snide like in german "schneiden" cutting remarks.-- well the truth hurts. it will cut right through any armor. --as amour will too.

  PS: gaslighting the poor flock by images of armored swat teams hunting down innocents, but also asserting that is not your life that matters but the issue of "universal sovereignty" and for true believers:

  For the highest reward you have to lose your life, the hard way.

  the gaping hole in this week's weak wt study.

  by waton in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for pimi pimo persons: give us one text that says those aspiring to everlasting life should not partake of the bread and wine.

  in the article, the whole proposition of refusing the emblems is based on the personal experience of one brother in the 1930s.!

  all jws partook.

  Should people partake of the emblems or not? OTWO

  comics? jws, have their book of story bibles. and their anointed generation of partakers they watch out for.

  They believe to have had a ~20 year old partake together with a ~100 year old in ~1994, and with that now only ~ 47 year old faithful expected to live past 2074, ~2075,

  why would they have to worry about a scripture justifying not to partake and qualify for everlasting life themselves?

  The GB will be gone by the GT anyway.

  Add cannons and machine guns

  rtn the armament is never a feature in these displays, fake fireworks perhaps . The aerobatic teams of Britain, italy canada others use trainers for their aerial artwork.

  those sticks are magic, can turn, from the pilot's view, the world upside down with the flick of the wrist, to the tune of

  "He has the world in his hand." or " ueber alles " aka overhead.

  Z: agree, noit just the sights, the sound of the vents are greattoo. the better if they feature the national anthems, without prejudice: the American, English, soviet, french, german.

  serious music. surely approved by the father who made the nations.

  always enjoyed the flyovers, Zeppelins in the 30s, 300 B17 in the 40, night time fireworks targeting the droning wellingtons, lancasters hidden in the darkness,

  Military planes are awesome. Even in the promised iffy new world, they should be maintained just to awe the sheep with the power of puny human creators, and let us aerobatic fiends have the joy of stick and rudder pleasure.

  The worst possible paragraph in the supposed new judgement scrolls that will be opened:

  Thou shalt not build aeroplanes!.

  Also watched the silent shuttle launches from our front yard , the later arrival of the thunder; -- the teeth shaking mars launches.

  come to think of it, according to wtBtS inc.

  Satan is supposedly confined to the earth's surface, --never the less, -- humans escape, gaining freedom through levitation.
