  Our "Evolved" culture

  by Saved_JW in

  1. social
  2. current

  just a quick reminder of the "evolved" culture we live in:.

  1- we live in a time where the humanity of a child is not determined by science [chromosomes, dna] but by the feelings of the mother.. 2- gender used to be determined by the objective anatomical, psychological, and genetical differences..now based purely on your emotional self.. 3- philosophy used to be a discipline which sought for ultimate truth, arguments were deliberated, calculated, and worldviews challenged.

  humanity sought to know why we believe not just what we believe.

  5- We live in a culture where the egg of a bald eagle is more valuable then the life of an unborn human child.

  That's because the nutrients, very simple. Nachooooooooooo!

  One language in the new system

  by OneEyedJoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so at the convention, one of the talks was about how all people will speak a single language in the new system.

  my ears perked up when i heard at the outset "now, we can't be dogmatic about this" because that immediately makes me think that they're backing away from a previously dogmatic stance.

  he went on to say that everyone will be speaking hebrew in the new system because "evidently" (another word that gets my ears to perk up these days) that was what was spoken before the languages were confused at bable.

  There's more historical accuracy in WT literature rather than in the Bible.

  Bible it's simply absurd. WT it's twisted absurd.

  Almost all of them seems to be ESFJ's.

  An ideal GB member must be an ESFJ. Externally focused in a very narrow and concrete way with collective values. In a nutshell ESFJ's are enforcers of the status quo.

  An ideal CEO probably would be an ENTJ.

  I think Ray Franz was an INFP. INFP's are dreamers...

  MBTI is a very rich theory. It's not just letters like something Zodiac-thing.

  INTP means a personality dominated by the Ti function, Ne as secondary, Si terciary and the Fe as the shadow. The other functions (Ni, Se, Te, Fi) are considered neutral in this type.

  There's a lot of forums and explanations throughout the internet, it's a valuable tool to understand people.

  Critical thinking is a very simple process (and you will never find a step-by-step manual. Even though some books claim that like the bible and every WT literature), basically:

  - Scientific method.

  - Logic (in a nutshell: two true statements can't contradict one each other).

  - Occam's razor.

  - Fallacy detection (see some list of fallacies).

  - Reality check.

  If your worldview needs some flaw in evidence, internal logic, simple explanation and fallacies, you can be sure (99.9999%) you are being fooled.

  And when this happen sooner or later your worldview will be crushed by the supreme judge of all worldviews: the reality.

  Reality destroy every flawed worldview, like "1914 generation that will not pass away" and "communication with dead people", for instance.
