A more truthful statement would be that the WTS. renovated many of their properties in Brooklyn by using their members as free labor,

knowing well that this would make the organization seem good and advantageous in the community, but also realizing that in doing so

it would increase the value of those properties in the future. They were right. From a business perspective the WTS. selling out and

moving on to other areas makes all the logical sense.

Besides the WTS. has been selling and proselyting bullshit for over a century from the same place.

That being the case it would makes all probable sense for the leaders of this organization to remove themselves

to a more obscure location, with less public attention draw upon them.

Also don't be too surprised if the Awake and Watchtower magazines take on a new name.

The WTS. did that once before remember.

Watch a bit the this video and you'll see him spout off like he has some profound yet to be discovered intelligence and knowledge.

Well he doesn't but he does have the gift to make himself appear that way by the loaded emotional language he uses.

Some people are taken in by this elusive con job, some people obviously are not.

Another case of Rick the Bullshitter, voicing false information in his endeavored attempts to darken the image of the WTS.

I am going to nominate Rick for the biggest JW apostate bullshitter of the year award in a leading role.

Rick you deserve this

Just a passing thought, it is known that Rick still professes to be a Christian, so one should consider that

he might be using his free redemption card to sin ( Bullshit ) Jesus redeems bullshit, at least that's what I read in the bible

Applying Math, Physics, Archeology to THE STORY OF NOAH

Belief, knowledge and epistemology

The terms belief and knowledge are used differently in philosophy.

Epistemology is the philosophical study of knowledge and belief. The primary problem in epistemology is to understand exactly what is needed in order for us to have true knowledge. In a notion derived from Plato 's dialogue Theaetetus, philosophy has traditionally defined knowledge as " justified true belief ". The relationship between belief and knowledge is that a belief is knowledge if the belief is true, and if the believer has a justification (reasonable and necessarily plausible assertions/evidence/guidance) for believing it is true.

A false belief is not considered to be knowledge, even if it is sincere. A sincere believer in the flat earth theory does not know that the Earth is flat. Later epistemologists, for instance Gettier (1963) [2] and Goldman (1967), [3] have questioned the "justified true belief" definition.

Belief as a psychological theory

Mainstream psychology and related disciplines have traditionally treated belief as if it were the simplest form of mental representation and therefore one of the building blocks of conscious thought. Philosophers have tended to be more abstract in their analysis and much of the work examining the viability of the belief concept stems from philosophical analysis.

The concept of belief presumes a subject (the believer) and an object of belief (the proposition). So, like other propositional attitudes , belief implies the existence of mental states and intentionality , both of which are hotly debated topics in the philosophy of mind whose foundations and relation to brain states are still controversial.

Beliefs are sometimes divided into core beliefs (that are actively thought about) and dispositional beliefs (that may be ascribed to someone who has not thought about the issue). For example, if asked "do you believe tigers wear pink pajamas?" a person might answer that they do not, despite the fact they may never have thought about this situation before. [4]

That a belief is a mental state has been seen, by some, as contentious. While some [citation needed] have argued that beliefs are represented in the mind as sentence-like constructs others [citation needed] have gone as far as arguing that there is no consistent or coherent mental representation that underlies our common use of the belief concept and that it is therefore obsolete and should be rejected.

This has important implications for understanding the neuropsychology and neuroscience of belief. If the concept of belief is incoherent then any attempt to find the underlying neural processes that support it will fail.

It would be a logical assumption that visiting branch members were treated with a bit more respect and preference

than working every day Bethelites.

You could also assume that these individuals probably had one of the WTS. cars at their availability as well.

And you could probably assume that these visiting Branch officials had their airline ticket paid for by the WTS. to

HQ , there and back as well.

Applying Math, Physics, Archeology to THE STORY OF NOAH

They were simply told to bring reverence and power to the god of whom these people worshiped.

I should also say problems occurs when so called modern day Seers do not teach this.

There were many stories told in ancient times of what the various gods, within the various civilizations

did and were capable of doing, creating a purposeful connection between those gods and those people.

The supposed imminent Armageddon as taught by the JWS is just another of these stories told of the god Yahweh

by the people who worshiped this particular god.

The bible should be taught as a history lessen, unfortunately its taught as piece of nonfictional reality

by modern day religionists, with other mitigating agendas.

One other thing which I don't think has been touched on yet is something called biology.

Those animals would have had to eat the same vegetation that was indigenous to where they were taken from

or they would have died off quickly. Not to mention carnivorous animals who ate meat.

You'd have to be complete fool to believe such a story.

This one bible story and the one where Jonah got swallowed by a large fish, possibly a whale,

then after a couple of days of being inside the fish, walked out unscathed are nothing but stories.

They were simply told to bring reverence and power to the god of whom these people worshiped.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out.
