  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.

  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?.

  I have to say that rebel does have a point about deception though. Even some very brilliant people will say "you believe that a deceptive cover up of (insert magnitude) could really happen?"

  The government is not beyond deception, without getting off track on aliens and moon landing, the CIA would rather have had people believe they were seeing UFO's and in fact encouraged such misinformation, than acknowledge the existence of the U2 spy plane. Which did not "exist" until Russia shot one down.

  The manhattan project... what was their official cover story for what was going on? I know when they popped the first test they quickly released a bogus story about an ammunitions dump explosion or some madness.

  Area 51, without getting into the lavish tales that surround this place, this is a literal physical visible place that the government officially denied existed for a very very long time.

  My point is its not that strange to question the potential deceptions of the establishment. Especially when a lot is a stake. The moon landing as I said before was the technological jesus if you will, and also the political implication between Russia and the us as to who got there first cannot be understated.

  So while I live my life believing we did it, I will always have skepticism. If it were unequivocally proven to be a hoax i would not be surprised, but also I am not that doubtful its completely possible as well we were on the moon, its not that big of stretch either. I am unlike most, and I feel that the government, and the secret keepers within have always had way more advanced tech than we give them credit for. The germans during WW2 were on the brink of crazy things! and those nazi scientists became NASA. Everyone should do a little reading on Werher von Braun, fascinating history there. (NAZI NASA NAZI NASA lol!)

  The germans built a effing cruise missile during WW2, the V1, it was not very good (especially by todays standards) but you can guarantee it scare the sh!t out of people. Not only that it was powered by a pulsejet, amazing advancement in propulsion.

  So for the people that think we couldn't have made it because of the technology of civilians, thats a fail. Most tech results from warfare application and a lot of the cool stuff we have started there and there is plenty we still don't even know about. So the tech part I don't buy.

  Of course the spike in technology started in 1947 when we found that disk in the desert... lol

  Why I have renounced Atheism and become a believer again

  by cantleave in

  1. social
  2. humour

  i have always said that if a god showed itself i would follow the evidence and renounce my atheism.

  i have now seen enough to start believing again, i am so happy, i feel a inner contentment, when he connected with me i really knew it was him.

  if you are not a believer you will not understand this, but trust me, look at the evidence, open your heart to him, let him in and your life will change for the better.

  True story, was in a hall in NYC and young pioneer couple embraced during prayer and they were talked to because some older dubs found it disturbing.

  This is what a totalitarian religion does to people, makes them obsess about utter stupidity while ignoring major issues.

  @Viv I have looked at how lazy I am to dig any further than some sweet you tube videos. This evidence of my laziness is overwhelming and conclusive. I have photographic evidence even :l

  I like listening to Neil degrade Tyson and Joe Rogan debate it. Because NGT sounds to logical and sane. But Joe is funny. It's a tough one.

  I do think we made it to the moon we were just told to not come back anymore by the moon people ... que x-files music
