  Can any believer make a case for the superiority of faith over knowledge?

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i find it curious why so many here on this site, in the face of factual evidence for things such as evolution and the impossibility for anyone to make a coherent interpretation for the bible, would still prefer faith to knowledge?.

  can any believer attempt a defence of this position?.

  What is the difference between faith and inductive logic or beliefs based on inference?

  Where are the EXJW Feminist Philosophers?

  i am working, more in the planning stages, where i am going to offer a commentary on the caleb and sophia cartoons that the org puts out.

  i noticed a heavily patriarchal bent to the narrative that these cartoons offer.

  i would really enjoy working with someone who has an academic background in feminist philosophy, or at least someone knowledgeable.

  What kind of person was Nathan H. Knorr?

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we have several examples in the forum showing that president knorr was not a loving and caring person; one that impressed me was the one about the elderly bethelite that was put out on the streets until his death due to a disagreement with knorr.

  i bring to your attention an incident that happened in the country of honduras back in the 50s, it has to do with immoral conduct by a branch overseer and his subsequent disfellowshiping.

  i am not critical of the end result of his conduct but rather the salacious and detailed report of this matter putting in the open the details for the whole world to see.

  Knorr did develop brain cancer, while we do not know how long the tumor was in his head nor do we know its size or location. However,depending on all those variables they could indeed effect his behavior and interactions with people!

  Hello all! I am working, more in the planning stages, where I am going to offer a commentary on the Caleb and Sophia cartoons that the org puts out. I noticed a heavily patriarchal bent to the narrative that these cartoons offer. I would really enjoy working with someone who has an academic background in feminist philosophy, or at least someone knowledgeable. I wish to offer how the cartoons fit in a Mcdonaldized organizations within a male dominated sub-culture. If you are intersted in collaborating please drop me a message.

  Protest for Mandatory Reporting?

  by Luther bertrand in

  on another thread, i have been having a discussion about protests in connection with watchtower policy.

  one of the biggest and more re-occuring rebuttals to protesting at kingdom halls and assemblies is that it does two things: 1. it re-enforces the apostate "mentally diseased" narrative heaped on the xjw community by the gb 2. it causes people to withdraw and get closer to the borg.. what if we as a group took the protest to city halls and government authorities to raise awareness of the need for mandatory reporting laws, rather than protesting @jw events?

  hell even geoffry jackson, when he gave his testimony at the arc, agreed that it would be "helpful".

  @Enlightenment123 from your comment am I to assume that you would be ok if protests were brought to secular authorites rather than to the KHor Assemblies?

  @smiddy The problem is that each state in Australia have different laws concerning the reporting of alleged child sex abuse. Some require others do not.
