  Science operates along these lines too Vh

  but when again and again you get no results at all, you, wt, has to realize that there is something wrong with your data (the bible) or your methodology, your idea to interpret it, or both.

  In science, you formulate a theory, make a prediction that a set of experiments, or observations should show definite, defined results, and then observe.

  wt is repeating the same experiments over and over again, and Deuteronomy has harsh words for those doing it in the name of the deity.

  For watchtower adherents, taking the current prophecies seriously is a lif and death matter, .because You are "cast out to satan for destruction--" if you openly dissent from current wt prophecy/predictions. nevertheless,

  The current wt time prophecy is already proven false, before we wait for the inevitable disappointment again as late as 2075. how so?

  Jesus said the endtime generation would not pass, before all, ( including the end), occurs.

  wt writers, having made the generation overlapping, and anointed contradict Jesus. because they predict,that

  the anointed generation will pass away to heaven, - not after the end-, but before it, the Great Tribulation even seriously starts.

  The speculation, and fall out, prove, that they are killers of innocents.

  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?

  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

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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?
