Black and White Thinking: the ENEMY of Intelligent Thought

by Terry in

something is true if it matches reality.. a true statement cannot contradict reality.. but, the mind can interpret anything into its opposite.

all it takes is black and white thinking and a belief things should be otherwise.. if jeffrey dahmer's mother thought he was a good son, then, he could not possibly be the guy who is eating people.. if o.j.simpson was a fine, upstanding fella with a great personality, then, he couldn't possibly have brutally murdered two people with a large serrated knife.

a ton of proof means nothing when belief is everything.. black and white thinking won't permit any facts to slip by the core belief and become refuted.. are you guilty of black and white thinking?.

Hi Terry

You began your post with the comment "A true statement CANNOT contradict reality"

I think sadly in many so called desirable societies the system controlled by the media wages a war for mastery over the humun spirit. Man must be made to understand for then he will accept.Who are the enemies of this system? The people who do not understand because societies function with Black and White thinking:the ENEMY of intelligent Thought.

I think when people feal it is absurd to think differently from the collective then free discussin and thinking is eliminated., if what the doctrine proclaims is true as fact that 2x2 equals 4 to tolerate the opinion that 2x2 equals 5 would be indecent.

Jehovah's Witnesses - Trained to Argue

by AllTimeJeff in

although a cult, jehovah's witnesses should not be underestimated as to their smarts.

sometimes, exiting jw's, due to indoctrination, feel a lot of guilt for leaving.

of course, the governing body wouldn't have it any other way.. upon leaving, many for the first time feel a freedom to express themselves, which is as it should be.

Interesting Hint of lime

I think we all have a marvelouse potential inside of us. I think it might be governd by universal laws we dont understand.

I think you only realise your desires and aspirations by a energy and power that cannot be found in organised religon. Instead its found inside of us.

Hi cameo d

It says they have integrity to the extent they behave according to the values beliefs and principles they claim to hold-

But they are not TRUSTWORTHY as they seek to destroy anyone who proves their integrity is misdirected.

JWs don't leave the organization over doctrine

by doublelife in

can anyone help me with a quote from a publication studied in '09 that had a box that said jws leave over selfish reasons but not over doctrine?

i think it was studied in the bs but i can't find it and i already tried the search feature.

i remember someone posted about it at the time it was studied.

acolytes

The only reason people leave the organisation is because their is a lack of love .. Leaving because of doctrine wouldnt be possible if their was love.
