Waton, I think you miss my point. Humans don't limit "truth" to objective facts
Otwo, you are so right, once one realizes, that that is the case, truth takes on a completely different meaning. it is not really true, factual any more.

37What Is Truth?
by minimus injust 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.

based on the freezing and boiling properties of water on that same planet.
OTWO, good point. so, use Kelvin then, based on absolute Zero, H2O comprises some of the most abundant elements in the Universe, acts in the same way everywhere in the universe, a true standard of truth. Aliens in Andromeda would agree.
try the hot basin, cold basin experiment. opinions, impressions do not change the truth, the facts.

what difference does it make??They were accepting a meaning that was FALSE.
m: not only that, but since the shitty brown "LGbT -- Men are liars " book, then was a must to study with candidates before baptism, it exposed the hapless publishers to being pegged in their communities as false prophets, by knowledgeable members of "Babylon the Great"
The churches had the truth, wt was the apostasing false prophet, , the publishers the victims in between.

give the questions you are allowed to answer. Science operates along these lines too. It’s a good system
Vdh. The scientific method, requires peer review, rigorous, open debate.
wt ranks with the stalins, hitlers of this world in willingness to engage in debate.
they have officially banned it. ban even open questions, prescribe the questions you are allowed to entertain, answer.

If they are not lying, they are telling the truthOTWO, that is a very narrow definition of "truth".
The truth of the matter, any matter to my mind, encompasses all the facets that can be discerned. orr not yet, even,
one's narrow or broad perspective about the truth, the facts is just opinions, with a limited shelf life.

The concept of " what you have bound on Earth will be bound in Heaven" clearly does not apply to wt leadership, or readership. Even
wts, retrospective pro-nouncements, such as that they were appointed as the end time Faithful and Discreet Slave in 1919, after the dead apostles were resurrected in 1918, have no root in facts, given the discredited teachings they publicized at the time.
we need and have very accurate predictions of future events. and in the afternoon of 4 / 8 / 2024 total darkness will descend on one of my special pioneer assignments. I hope to be again / still there in line. & time.
astronomical science can predict position of heavenly bodies to the second, the meter, and now land their craft smack there.
craftier than wt, sticking to the laws, which wt does not.

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. '
