  I had a JWs friend who was a missionary in India. I recall him saying you had to be particularly discerning in who you witnessed to, as it didn’t take much for things to get physically out of hand.

  j134: true, that is particularly valid advise for the female missionaries. One of my relatives was raped in the h2h "work" there.

  that is why the wt internet approach .is safer than actually slogging on the not too clean ground. '

  Now they plan to go for India, Or:

  a religiously divided, and somewhat tolerant, "democratic" country of many, that is internet savvy, billions can be reached without too many boots on the ground, which was the problem for the Knorr offensives.

  attorneys from Georgetown Law who represented the woman —

  Barbara, on a lighter note, when I read that sentence I went " what?" because Georgetown ON is the seat of the Canadian Branch that grows it's own Lawyers there. from scratch. '

  good for the abused lady to get representation from a prestigious law school in the DoC. adjacent to the seat of the US government itself.

  Thank you for the great ongoing work.

  maybe it is not because of the country, but the colour. the light brown that is now de rigeur, on all good news channels. , American politics too, VP and congress. The colour is also hiding in other places like the anti / pro - religious happenings in Trudeau land.

  The again, India, Pakistan are in close contact sport events with China, the real anti-religious power.

  white is drab, can it be really fading any more?

  fine, but you might never find them. and when you do, they might not be that appealing in some ways.

  Every single action of God happened in this CIRCLE

  it looks kind of suspicious that everlasting life- death - paradise earth - heaven - salvation - angels - god- jesus -sin-the devil-the truth came from only this location.

  (see the circle on the map).

  It does not matter, during the original actions* described, the earth was flat, and you could see all the way from the circle to Utah, NY NY.

  * and will be flat again after the 1000 years are ended, and have 4 corners.

  In view of this, if you identify as PIMO; have commenced fading or have faded during the pandemic, I would strongly advise you that you develop some action plan to mitigate against the harassment of JWs when things return to normal in your area/country.

  ph: can somebody summarise " this" please? to understand with ease?

  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.

  coming back to the linguistic concept of truth. The dutch term waar-heid is also related to our "ware" , like in warehouse, where we keep the "goods" the goodies. so,

  the concept of truth is related to what is of value, proven in time. even increasing in value with age, , like wine, " in vino veritas"

  what is real, like in real-estate. that has verifiable borders. will be there in the future , we hope / know , now,

  Ps: and thinking of that glass of wine, " Verite' " in French implies withstanding verification, or the assault of falsification in the scientific method.

  a truthful, valuable theory, equation has to make predictions, those, projected into the future, if happening correctly, accordingly. proves that the theory describes nature correctly, truthfully.

  wt has proven to have no such valuable theory. or source of truth. or?

  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.
