Have Artifical Intelligence Run A Site That Deprograms Jehovah's Witnesses
by Brokeback Watchtower inwith all this talk about ai taking over jobs and finding cures by feeding it proper input data and a whole host of other tasks why not have scientist put up a site run by artificial intelligence to deprogram people from cults and offer them counseling as what to do after leaving the mind control cult.. i know this might be a very touchy place to put ai i think it would offer scientist working with ai to test its capabilities and do a public service at the same time.. perhaps offer it honestly to the public who are having doubts about a specific organization that is unduly controlling their lives.. and great if that would pass a turing test:.

Have you ever considered how bizarre the idea of "War in Heaven" really is?
by TerryWalstrom inwhen you grow up and look back on childhood belief you have to laugh at how.
easter bunnies and santa were all too plausible for children because trusted adults who were otherwise unimpeachable sources of truth and reality assured and reassured kids.
why wouldn't they accept it?jehovah's witness kids didn't have santa, we had armageddon.only this morning i suddenly asked myself why i ever accepted the idea of a war in heaven as even remotely sane.

Just imagine, "war in Heaven", as is depicted, fought with swords, bows, arrows, and of course, horses. Not that the spiritual sphere is advanced like 13 billion years or so. And no casualties, just prisoners.
I mean, we humans should copy that.

Satan temping Eve. Had she not ate
by pleaseresearch inbeing the loving god that he is :).
how do you imagine this playing out.
let's say eve didn't eat and so we didn't fall into sin.. what do you think god would have done with satan and his demons?.

The thing that baffles me is how something perfect could turn to the 'dark side'. Adam and Eve is a children's tale. What about the angels that choose to make themselves a body so the could have sex with women!. Imagine perfect entities that had lived forever choose the dark side. On the other hand imagine Jesus and the history of having the option to have 'all the kingdoms of the world' , he as a perfect entity could have accepted. I mean those literary tales are so powerful that is not a mystery why people get so fanatic sometimes.

Cain - where's the critical thinking skills?
by jws injust read a post on facebook where somebody is making some wild crazy-talk about the descendants of cain being the beast of revelation or something.. cain was always a strange tale to me.
don't people use any critical thinking skills when they read this stuff?
everybody knows cain killed his brother abel, but do they ever look at the surrounding tale?.

Why Abel wasn't able to defend himself? Why this crimen was allowed? Why the 'eye by eye' law was not used? And the discussion continues, on and on....
