Do You Still Want To Know The Truth (page 3)

JFK said the problems we faced were man made. If the problems are man made, why can't the solutions be man made, too?

Or is that a bleak viewpoint and you think humanity has a rosy future.

Definitely. Education has led to this being the time of least suffering average than ever. The "problems" in peoples lives are so much less now. However, people love to concentrate on negatives, and in countries of affluence people still complain about how bad life is. (eg Watch a program like the OC and the life crisis is that a business deal does no go through and someone loses a Porsche.)

What are real problems? Starvation is. In the 1800's over 100 million people died in famine in China alone. The number was far less in the 1900's, and over the last 50 years there have been few famines which resulted in 1 million deaths. http://www.jwfacts.com/index_files/lastdays.htm

Funny, though - I am sure some would rather me lie and deny that fact. Why is that, I wonder?

Peace.

I think the truth could be had if our leaders (political, corporate, and religious) weren't so bent on controlling mankind. Each and every one of those has a share: the politicians with their endless regulations to prevent people from learning the truth about medicine and government; the corrupt business leaders with their protectionism policies that keep their crap products on the market and stop people from developing and marketing better ones, and the religious leaders that threaten with hellfire and/or everlasting destruction if anyone looks outside their little box for the answers.

To find the truth, we need to become fully integrated self-leaders. And that would take power away from those scumbags that are mis-running things now. They are going to fight for their unearned rights to keep us sick, to keep usurping taxes from workers so those lazy bums can collect their damn food stamps, and they can keep crap products on the market with no competition and charge top dollar for them. They also control our education system so we get nothing but disjointed percepts that have to be learned by rote memory; that is also sponsored by your government. This is all so the dishonest leaders can remain in power with no one to threaten them, and so people will not become self-leaders.

The religions are in on this, too. And these disjointed education policies and forcing people to stay in the box helps none more than the Watchtower Society. The Tower sucks people in who are not capable of integrated thinking, and if people never learn fully integrated thinking, they will die Witlesses. They claim to have found the truth; they think they found the truth. The reality is, all they really found was a scam that is so perfect that each part backs up the other lies.

I think the antidote to the Watchtower Society is better education. And, by better education I am not referring to college, either. I am referring to teaching children to be fully integrated thinkers. If there is a teacher in the lower grades that goes outside the box and teaches children to think on their own, to integrate percepts into concepts and find common denominators, those teachers ought to earn six-figure incomes instead of being fired and harassed by the boards of directors. The boards of directors should go out of their way to find teachers like that, and train those who are on the borderline of being like that to teach children to integrate. You would find far less truancy, much less disruption in class, and better participation in school if classes were run like that.

Not only that, but it would force the leaders to stick to the original constitution. They would be forced to remove barriers to alternative medicine and energy sources, to dismantle the parasitical Fed, and to clean up their acts under threat of being voted out of office by someone that will. The bonus is that students graduating from such a school system would be able to see right through religious scams like the Watchtower Society without any problem. Recruits and return visits would plummet. Placements would plummet, unless they start counting the ones they place at doors where no one is home that end up in the shredders. Baptisms would plunge. Children, even though they are banned from going to college, would learn to integrate thinking by the third grade, which would stop the Tower from getting them baptized at age 10 or 12 (they would have to baptize children before they hit age 6, and then the parents would likely object). Donations to this "higher cause", both in time and money, would drop off to the point where humanoids like Ted Jaracz would no longer be able to run the monster. And then the Tower would come crashing down.

Truth= the sum total of all possible perspectives (which is infinite.)

Do You Still Want To Know The Truth

As children at school growing up and also as JWs mostly everything was presented as fact/as truth. But as adults we have to question the facts and everything presented as truth - we have to think for ourselves, evaluate, be skeptical, take responsibilty for ourselves etc.

Searching for one all encompassing truth imo is a yearning for the certainty and security of our childhoods (I guess we'll always have that yearning). I would love to see children at school gradually being taught to question and think for themselves.
