  Most Jdubs are nice people, not really evil - give us all a break from this

  I'm with Daniel, were you an evil person when you were a JW. It's very easy to suggest that other people are evil, the reality is that there are shades of grey. It is very easy to attribute the actions of others to malice and to attribute the actions of ourselves to mistake or misunderstanding. With the right set of circumstances any JW could choose to leave. Whilst I don't deny that individual JWs can do things that are evil that doesn't mean that they all are.

  This is a very different topic to the question of the WBTS or the governing body being a force for evil.

  Killing In Self Defense

  the man was moving around in the darkness of j's home with a gun.

  he was certain j. and his family weren't there, but he was wrong.

  when a door suddenly opened and a dark figure fumbled for the hallway light, he had only a moment to act.

  The fetishization of violence on this thread is sickening.

  Come on, it is so simple people - Russell used Imperial measurements, but what did the Egyptians use?

  okay, russell based his measurements of the pyramid chambers using inches to determine 1914.. however, what if we used egyptian measurements?.

  duh!.

  The egyptians used a system of measure that gradually evolved into the imperial measurements anyway so they used a version of the inch and foot. By the time of the Romans we can see a system that closely matches the imperial system.

  Public Talk - Probe to Uranus

  by berrygerry in

  i'm being deadly serious - many, many years ago, an english (uk) visiting speaker, giving a talk on science and the bible, made the statement:.

  "as we speak, there is a probe that is nearing uranus.".

  myself and one other brother were just dying trying to control an explosion of laughter.. i so desperately wanted to yell out: "and they're searching for klingons.".

  Less than 24 hours remaining in this wicked system of things...

  Oh good, I hate it when these things drag on for centuries.

  the flood, mammoths, elphants, and food.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my question is since it looks as though mammoths were alive after the flood and we know elephants are then how much food was needed to feed just these four animals for the time they were on the ark.

  also was the ark, 500 feet long, big enough to hold the amount of food needed for just these 4 animals.. .

  Bohm,

  As I said in my reply to Viviane earlier, I accept that my understanding of this is from a certain point of view and I also accept that you are more qualified than I am to weigh in on this subject. As I respect both your contribution and Viviane's I will respectfully bow of this argument and accept that you may be right. I will endeavour to read more on the subject.

  Cheers

  Caedes, for me a sensible discussion would be focussed on clearly CORRECTING, not only berating bad science, bad astronomy, and please dont hurt my feelings, I am aspiring to make it for one of the poetry prizes. so:

  If you think my zero-gravity, lifted atmosphere flood remarks are woo,

  show me how, your correction, logically, yes, please do.

  That is why when I reply to your posts I go through line by line and highlight exactly what I don't agree with and why. In your replies to me you don't take the time to actually answer the points I make, that is obviously up to you but don't then complain that I haven't told you where you are wrong. It is entirely up to you to actually read my posts if you want my correction. There is certainly no point whingeing about there not being enough science in the conversation when you are the one filling it with bad poetry and not accepting it when people correct your bad understanding of science.

  Prologos,

  I see that as per usual you have missed the point. It is not nit-picking to point out that your woo, nonsense and bad attempts at poetry corrupt any sensible discussion.

  I'm truly puizzled why you and I can plainly realize that field, the sum total of it's forces, can have a net effective value of zero yet the things that make it up not be zero and watch this simple concept truly escape others.

  Viviane,

  That is still my understanding of it, and the understanding of three other engineers whose opinion I have asked. But the caveat to that is that I and most engineers (one of my colleagues does have a a physics degree) would have a very Newtonian view of physics. I can see the point Bohm is making, although it is counterintuitive to my way of thinking, and as I have said this stuff is at the edge of my understanding of physics. It is usually one of my go to points that the theory of gravity is less well understood than that of the theory of evolution so I'm not sure that Bohm couldn't be right in this regard. Especially since Bohm does seem to be saying that the Newtonian view of this example is also correct. I respect both your contribution to this site as well as Bohm's and I will have to respectfully bow out of this argument at this point.

  Caedes, You could be going on nit-picking like this on and on. The collapse of the water canopy from any heights would have the results that the Brownian motion of any particles AFTER the impact, -on the surface and the water-, would have been accelerated, and the observed emitted radiation from there seriously shifted from Brown toward the ultra-violet.

  It is a constant wonder how you can make so many words mean so little.

  Remember, that the average reader here is better entertained by colourful descriptions rather than formulae and equations, so post THEM together with your challenges, to educate,-- for we agree on the results.

  There is very little we agree on, to educate the first thing you need to do is be accurate so by that score 90% of your posts fail wildly. Posting word salad on a subject over which you have the most tenuous grasp is not educational in the slightest. In fact as someone who does know something about this subject I would say your object seems to be to obfuscate rather than enlighten.

  In other words, if you make the extraordinary claims, that the RESULTS of the flooding, fall from orbit DESCRIBED are wrong, YOU show the math why.

  You are the one that can't decide what you think the results will be, see the point I made in my last post to you. So how exactly is it educational to propose two entirely opposed positions in the same thread?

  Then you would educate rather shift the discussion about SUBSTANCE, relevant science to demeaning personal attack.

  Post something of substance for once then.

  Very few are interested to which low level of pettyness you can descend.

  I thought you were opposed to demeaning personal attack?
