  Quality Thinking - Warning: Long Post Ahead

  by Viviane in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently, several threads have had some debate about logic, evidence, critical thinking and skepticism.

  i wanted to write a post discussing those things, hopefully to clarify what those things are, why they are important and how to use those tools.

  first, logic, at its core, is simply a method for how to reason validly, how to draw conclusions based on a premise.

  so i was fooled by the witnesses.

  what can i learn from that?

  not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

  Where is the color footage? someone please tell me! I bet the aliens that told them to get the eff off their moon took it lol
  

  Stan Lebar holds the two cameras that were used on the Apollo 11 missions. The camera on the left was a color camera that transmitted live color television inside the Apollo 11 command module. The camera on the right side of the photo shows the camera that transmitted live video of the Apollo 11 astronaut's moonwalks. Credit:NASA

  Always found the crosshair pics peculiar, but probably a product of over exposure.

  The "c" on the rock really has no explanation, although it could just be random and not man made.

  There is an interesting Apollo 17 photo that shows a still packaged moon rover, and tracks, this is kinda odd.

  also the black and white feed, would they not have recorded color film (maybe not for the live feed, but for the record?)

  There are more people who get crazy over shadows and lighting, but i have no clue about this madness, so I'll leave that one alone.

  
  

  Also there are just too many nazi's and freemasons involved lol!

  And that's why understanding the science involves shows it would be impossible to actually stage. Also, wouldn't another motive be to do what you said you were going to do?

  Very true, the expressed motive and the real one (only in my behind the curtain look at how things work) are not always the same. I feel doing what they said they were gonna do was secondary, and only because it was needed to accomplish the bigger goals. Maybe like this

  Motive 1. All the fun stuff, the motive of those facilitating and funding such a thing

  Motive 2. The objective, the motive of those carrying it out, and making it possible through concept and execution.

  I could refer back to the manhattan project, and the possible different intentions of many people involved.
  

  I think fukitol who had the second post on here made a good point, there is probably a mix of truth and fiction. Some of the pics have some issues. They may have staged some aside from the actual moon landing.

  Also the technological jesus bit I just think that sounds bad ass.

  Still you cannot deny the importance of the moon landing. It capped an incredibly... rough decade, not just for america but also the world. Armstrong called it " a giant leap for mankind", honestly it was a giant leap for Merica.

  It sent powerful messages that good ol USA had whatever it tool to win the cold war. It was the peak of our progress and merica did it. Not only did america gain a new found pride in America, the world did as well. It was a powerful event if we believe the value history puts on it (I wasn't born yet :) ).

  So all that being said the weight and importance it carried, what would you do, sacrifice, hide, or whatever for such a world stage advantage. Thats all I am saying it held incredible value, and people often do crazy shit to insure advantage. But again thats not a rational reason for anything just a great source of motive.

  By the goblet of dionysus I surrender fully. Lol.

  I'll do something no one else can seem to do and agree that you are correct. It has nothing to do with rational skepticism. See people was that so hard?

  These things are following strong motive so they probably only amount to "gut feeling" ie follow the money (motive). I have lived and dealt in the underworld of nyc and I can tell you there are more real conspiracies going on daily than not. Many things are not the way they seem. But you are correct it's not rational proof of anything.

  The part of our brain thay deals in gut feelings, the most ancient part, doesn't use rationality and is often wrong, biased, or prejudice. The more recent outer cortex that's what deals in cold rationality. All that being said I always listen to my primitive inner cortex that ran from Saber tooth tigers, but I use the rational outer bits of the brain to guide my decisions.

  I was just talking about existence of motive. :) love ya Viv kiss kiss

  Are Witnesses Allowed to Read Bible by itself

  by Brighid in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been away from the boards so long that i had to create a new account but recent events have brought me back - i've missed this place!

  anyway, i heard a former witness being interviewed the other day that said the witnesses were now being highly discouraged to read the bible by itself (without wt literature) on their own.

  this seems over the top even for the witnesses.

  Extremely difficult situation the .Org is in

  by Lemonp in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  as far as i can imagine, the .org is in a lose, lose, lose situation right now.

  if jackson shows to the rc, and policy chages, then bible interpretation was changed sans-holy spirit.

  policy change is an admission of guilt, not helpful in future civil court cases.

  Crisis of Conscience

  by FreeGirl2006 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  do you think that any of the clueless, amnesiacs that appeared before the rc will have a crisis of conscience over the abuse situation?

  seriously, with the grilling they received from our new heroes, they would have to be sociopaths not to do some long hard thinking about the lack of empathy and compassion the borg displays as a top down policy towards abuse victims.

  i can understand these idiots not having an awakening within the confines of their daily lives since they stay cloistered in their belief system, but the rc forced them into the real world with their questions and one would hope, made them think.

  Viviane I will trade you quality thinking (I'll start thinking quality) to be the only person on the board to possess a picture of the elusive rationalist... Viviane. Send it to me and I will think your way
