  The BEST way to "wake up" a JW

  by Phizzy in

  2. beliefs

  13 years ago

  we have debated this over many years and in many threads, as all of us have family and/or former friends still in.

  it seems that there is no "best" way to wake up a jw, it is as elusive as the "true" religion it seems.. but a comment made by poster "emery" on another thread stood out to me, he/she said :.

  "what i have gathered is that most witnesses seem to be in it for emotional reasons.

  Yeah the remaining JW's are most very emotional people who don't give a shit to doctrines.

  But I wonder how long such environment can last without thinking ones ?

  Anybody have ideas about the double slit experiement with particles, how they react based on a human mind observing them?

  that's just crazy, that if the particles are being monitored and data recorded, they act exactly as we 'think' they should act.

  however if they are not being monitored and no way to watch them, then they act completely different and more random.

  It's unnecessary to say quantum properties does not extrapolates the metric realm (wich we live in).

  So you will not change a mountain by using your mind and quantum mechanics sitting like a yogi.

  But you can change a mountain through QM by using an atomic bomb.

  Humans can't see quantum particles in a direct way. We can't see planets outside solar system in a direct way too.

  But we can see them like a blind one can see with the help of a cane. But instead of a cane we throw "balls" (photons) to see quantum particles (another photons or electrons, etc).

  And we use a very very cool device called Penning Trap to perform these experiments.

  When a particle is trapped (by trial and error) it appears as a wave function it does not have a specific location, it appear and disappears everywhere (even outside the penning trap). But when the interaction is stablished the wave form collapses in the particle form. It's not the human conscious the cause of it, but the beam of photons directed (by a robot) to a trapped quantum (or fundamental) particle. Only after all of that we can see the results from recordings (not so mystical...).

  As already said the OP video it's not entirely correct, it have a strong bias to woo.

  IMHO the quantum phenomena does not support the idea of a creator, far from it! It seems to show that there's no creator because all the time every fundamental particle are being creating from nothing (vaccum fluctuations).

  Even if they offer money to me I could not think in a way to help them. There's no way to keep up the lie.

  Graphic violence against a Jehovah's Witness in the name of entertainment

  by Debbie Klick in

  a so called friend of mine sent me this link to a music video.. the song seems to be ridiculing jehovah's witness's and their practise.. but more disconcerting is the visual content, which actually shows the assault and murder of a jehovah's witness.. i can appreciate there is an element of humour involved, but find it in pretty poor taste.. and in no way a positive message to the populace and for the safety of jehovah's witness's in general.. .

  I think of an Intelligent Creator when I study electrons, I think of God when I see the order and unity of electron properties.

  That's woo!

  Are you excited about the next space race?

  for the last several years a number of things have been coalescing to make deeper space exploration and colonization possible and even feasible.

  it seems that the velocity of such endeavors has really increased the last couple of years.

  big things are in the works such as:.

  Why are there no black angels?

  jw literature is racist as hell.

  jesus looks like an american folk singer, the governing body look like a corrupt version of an enron luncheon.. the jw's literally print different magazines for africa with african pictures, black people instead of white, to make it 'more appealing' to them.... just to be clear that means they think the opposite is true too!.

  ....and then there is the lack of black angels..... .

  All the angels have one black feather on the top right wing. It's something related to heavenly aerodynamics.

  (As Richard Feynman said "If you think you understand quantum theory . . . you don't understand quantum theory.")

  Why people cannot understand poetic and\or ironic statements ?
