I Made the Literature Trolley Run Away Today - Twice

by cofty in

i popped into town this morning to buy an anniversary card for mrs cofty.

it is market day on a saturday and it's tourist season so the town was very busy.

here is a picture of the scene from a year ago... two cult carts were in their favourite place being guarded by none other than one of the elders who was on my judicial committee, his wife and another jw woman in her electric disability buggy.

How old are these people? Really, when you think about it...they trully are kept in an infantile state.

Keeping my eye out for the carts...already had one get so angry I thought she was going to deck me!

Direction the elders rarely follow.

by notoneoftheboys in

here is a quote from a w/t article a few years ago.

in all the 8 kh i attended [work locations changed] not one body of elders followed this direction, so if they are not minding the sheep who is?

it galls me that they will quickly act if you grow a beard, or voice an opinion, or ask a question, but when your family fall foul of abuse where are the elders then?.

It's similar to, "Our thoughts and prayers are with those poor starving children in Africa"...

...but not actual food, which is what they really need.

AMEN to that

nobody is better at explaining deep subjects and making learning exciting and fun than isaac asimov.. keep this list (and links) for use in getting your school age kids accurately informed about science and developing a keen and rational mind.. isaac asimov's "science fact" masterpieces :.

how we found out about microwaves - isaac asimov.

how we found out beginning of life - isaac asimov.

Diogenesister

For something to be science it has to be falsefiable ...Karl Popper is your man ❤

Thanks for sharing, as always. This is great for my 9 yr olds, and me!

so each of the attendants at the glasgow convention this weekend have all been handed a photo of some guy that has been disrupting conventions in the uk.

(the same one as in london i read about a couple of weeks ago?

apparently he was sighted at the glasgow convention today, though there was no disruption as far as i know.. has anyone else ever heard of photo i.d.

Notsurewheretogo. saying that there is a weird guy going around with a very long beard and he looks well dodgy...

It's obviously Santa putting in a personal appearance to prove to all the JW kids he really does exsist...

Quality Thinking - Warning: Long Post Ahead

by Viviane in

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.

Diogenesister

Hi viv, I didn't open my eyes until I did a philosophy module at the open university...so I totally agree that the Borg's ban on higher education as a way of keeping the "sheeple" ignorant and willing to accept any rubbish they print, is a huge block in getting them to realize ttatt.

I understand the most of your post, but I wonder if you have the time, if you explain the following as you lost me....

In computing, logical operators are used often, AND, NAND, OR, XOR, etc., are used to evaluate expressions and return results, for example, if A>0 AND B>0, then return a value of 1, else return 0".

as the story of "annointed" ones goes.....when their spouse is left behind on earth, are they free to remarry?

that would kinda suck, being in heaven...watching the wifey , or hubby gettin doinked by someone new.

just sayin.....shewt...i got way too much time on my hands..

Diogenesister

You and me both. I've been mullin' over that one since I was about 15..our elders wife was anointed but he wasn't.

I just figured she was just so super good that she didn't suffer with our lowly emotions such as jelousy or even curiosity. I used to imagine her watching me poop and all sorts. Oh the worries of an indictrinated yoof are many...
