LOL @ LUHE!
Crabby said: Heaven, how is it possible for you to smell a flower and have that smell stored in your mind, then somehow pass that smell on to your child.
Crabby, this is not an answer to my question.
Now to answer your question. Simply put I have a nose, a mouth, a central nervous system, and a brain as does a child.
Molecules released by various items enter through the nose as well as the mouth to the back of the throat, landing on tissue covered in mucus where millions of olfactory receptors or neurons bind with these specific odour molecules. Once this binding occurs, the receptors send their electrical impulses to a certain microregion, also known as the glomerulus (of which there are some 2,000 in the olfactory bulb), which then passes the electrical impulses along to other parts of the brain. The “odourant patterns” that are released from the glomerulus are interpreted in the brain as smell. This discovery is accredited to Richard Axel and Linda Buck, who won the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work.
Knowledge passed on to a child about a smell is done when a child smells something and asks the question "What is that smell?" with the result of someone answering their question. Google or a book may also provide the answer.

How is it possible for a spirit being to have any sort of ability for complex thought processes without a brain or gender without a physical body with specific glands, hormones, and organs to define this?

Are hot springs and saunas approved by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by jwleaks insatan’s snares today.
in the main, satan’s tricks have not changed over the centuries.
in order for christians living in the corrupt city of corinth not to be “overreached by satan,” the apostle paul gave them strong counsel.

And next week... Botchtower advises that you better shower with your bathing suit on so you don't touch your privates as this can lead to masturbation (and of course, not going out in Field Serve-Us).
Being a Jehovah's WItness = Having No Fun ... Zilch... Zero... Nada.
Now get out there and recruit more slaves... I mean save more lives by threatening people with the ever elusive, never coming prophecy of Armageddon and how you'll never be able to live forever with all the holier-than-thou, judgmental delusional JWs petting pandas and lions on paradise Earth.

Religions know how to spin things. It's a combo of "we're the answer to all your questions and desires" and the guilt/fear/threat that if you don't agree with them or join them, that you will lose some mythological prize some time after you die (in the past the Christians used to torture and kill people but that's illegal now in most countries. There are some extremist religions that still do this today, however. ).
It's only when we decide to be intellectually honest with ourselves, do we realize the claims made by the Bible and religions do not add up to reality.
The B.I.T.E model can also be used to analyze non-religious organizations and people as well. Cults are not exclusive to religions. A person who wants to control another person may also employ such tactics as you've listed PE.

Interesting find in the bible last night
by Crazyguy inso i was reading genesis chapter 10 and 11 to see how it explains the man who supposedly is the offspring of noah and he and his offspring become the nation known as egypt.
in some bibles they actually call him egypt.
well as i was reading chapter 10 i noticed something.

Crazyguy, good find. Throughout the Bible there are many nuggets like the one you found which defy logic, reason, mathematics, physics, etc. Many people believe because they were taught to believe from birth. And many atheists report that it wasn't until they actually read the Bible, instead of being maneuvered through it by their religious leaders, that they realized much of was is written in it, is not actually true. I think it is very important to research the history of the Bible. This helped me quite a bit to realize what a sham and a fraud religion is.
It is a requirement of faith to abandon logic and reason. But wanting something to be true does not mean that it actually is.

I have no prblems with "new light"
by Doug Mason inthere is nothing wrong with accepting new ideas.
even apostle paul changed his mind when he "saw the light".
indeed, i hope to learn new things every day.

They need to stop calling themselves "The Truth" and "God's Channel". Because if new blight contradicts their old blight, then they certainly do not have the truth nor can they be God's Mouthpiece (unless God is messing with them... or God doesn't exist and it's just all crap their pulling from their a$$e$).
I had an interesting exchange with my parents on this. Back in my 20's, with both of my parents present I asked them outright "Is the Watchtower God's chosen organization, his sole channel of communication?" (You can probably guess where I would be going with this as it doesn't really matter what the answer is... Botchtower is just another religion serving up BS as Truth ... and hurting people in the process).
At exactly the same time my Mom answers "Yes." and my Dad answers "No."
The holy shit look that passed between them was priceless. So much for unity. I gave them the eyebrow.
