Increase of war--staggering statements from the Really Teach book

by M.J. in

the "bible teach" book, on p.89 says:millions of people have been killed in wars during the past century.

one british historian wrote: "the 20th century was the most murderous in recorded history...it was a century of almost unbroken war, with few and brief periods without organised and armed conflict somewhere.

" a report from the worldwatch institute states: "three times as many people fell victim to war in [the 20th] century as in all the wars from the first century ad to 1899.

To compare on quantity of deaths alone is not a complete analysis.

A more equitable comparison would be to calculate the deaths as a percentage of total humans on the earth at the time of the conflict …to get the “bloodiest.”

There are other ways to slice it as well…. But a strict “quantity” analysis is weak, IMHO.

It has limited value, and approaches meaningless, to discuss IQ as a "score" unless the test is specified.

Hence, most discuss IQ as a percentile.

For example, a score of 148 on the Cattell test is the same percentile-wise as a score of 130 on the Stanford Binet 5.

Whether she is deliberately fabricating a facade for others or believes this herself, I do not know.

Since Czatt documented how his questionnaires were met by Rutherford's labeling Czatt an "agent of Satan" in the early 1930s, folks have had a hard time getting anything from the Society....despite Wah's protestations to the contrary.
