  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with interest i find that once again the lds faith is cast as the twin tower of mordor to the watchtower orthanc.

  we are not the same my precious.

  read these quotes below to see just how different we really are.

  Mormons aren't the same as Jdubs.
  
  Mormons believe that the men on the moon are much taller.

  How the Society can almost drop 1914 and STILL retain their authority

  by yaddayadda in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  they can have the best of both worlds.

  it would be quite easy, with a bit of imagination, for them to simply adopt an interpretation of scripture similar to the seventh day adventists belief about 1843. the sda's teach that since 1843 jesus has been engaged in an 'investigative judgment' upon christendom, having entered into the 'inner sanctuary' of heaven (or something to that effect) on that date to receive special authority to do that.

  jesus since then has used the sda's as his favoured group of christians.

  It would be bad business to drop 1914. The biggest marketing strategy of "logical" religion is visible proof of authenticity. The watchtower has theirs as "we predicted 1914 as a marked year" and then WWI comes along to prove they were correct. They will change their doctrine, but 1914 will always be a significant year because they can show they wrote about it before WWI. We have to remember that what they said about 1914, before 1914, was nothing about what actually happened. And they post interpretation is an interpretation of what they said.

  A SIMPLE EXPLANATION of why TIME TRAVEL doesn't work

  energy and matter are neither created nor destroyed.. consequently, the building blocks of existence are actually finite parts.. to create things in "tomorrow" which are new, something has to be dismantled to leave spare parts for the new thing.. the old thing deteriorates, (dies) and the parts become the new thing.. time travel requires going to a place where all of today's parts are completely dismanteled and are being used (or not) to maintain yesterday/tomorrow.. ever see the film primer?.

  said slightly differently...... you go into a room.

  on the table is a box of dominoes.

  OK, this is the last hit on the bong, and then I'm done for tonight.
  
  The plant is real - really - really big and has billions of people living on it
  
  You are in a domino for ten years, flying around the plant in your domino at super-fast speeds
  
  Then you stop your domino and check out the people of the plant
  
  The big observers question would be ..... WHOS RETRO LOOKING !

  Jeffro, yep it is a big plant.
  
  
  It is time travel from the OBSERVERS point of view. I'm not saying it currently is a practicable vacation possibility, but it has been demonstrated and true.

  Yep, I did.
  
  I also checked out for some of my old JW friends and found one.
  
  He happily married with some kids. I was happy for him.
  
  I'll have to confess, I did laugh when he said he was the owner of his own business. Bet you can't guess what it was!

  skyking, the clock on the jet actually was behind the clock on the Earth. The jet clock was relatively slower, but on the jet, the clock was absolutely perfect (at least as much as was humanly possible).
  
  The faster we move, the slower time gets. If we travel at the speed of light, time pretty much stops. Because we can't go faster than light, we can't reverse time, however, we can go forward or backward in time depending on the observer.
  
  Then there is the event horizon of a black hole. The point at which the gravity of the black hole is so intense that light i pulled in. If light were to accelerate at this point (which is impossible) then the photons would be going back in time, but at a different point in space.

  P.S. at this point I think I'm gonna pass the bong to someone else. I've started the 'talkies'

  Jeffro, if you had a super-fast vehicle traveling around the plant for say ... 10 years. The clocks on the super-fast vehicle would be some time behind the clocks on the Earth. The time of that vehicle would be behind the time of the planet. If you had been watching this vehicle from the Earth for ten years, and then jumped up and into the vehicle, the "correct" calendar date would be BEFORE the calendar date you just left. You would have gone back in time. If the person flying that super-fast vehicle came back to earth, the "correct" calendar date on Earth would show a date in the future.
  
  That is time travel.
