  I showed my stepson a pbs youtube video for kids about logical fallacies and my wife found out

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  2. family

  she told him to never watch that video again, which of course is going to make him even more curious about it, which is exactly what i wanted to happen.

  i am giddier than a schoolgirl right now.

  even the watchtower propaganda says to be careful and respectful with questioning teens and middle-schoolers in the congregation, and she comes up and does the opposite.

  g90 5/22 p. 12 Five Common Fallacies—Don’t Be Fooled by Them!
  
  

  No problem, we have an Awake! article on the subject. Even when I still believed, when I read the article I concluded that we use the same fallacies to defend the "truth".

  Convention Distances: Jamaica

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for the past few years conventions in eastern jamaica have been held at a cricket stadium, in the capital city, known as sabina park.

  this venue is a central location for the bulk of the attendees who make it there from the capital kingston, as well as the adjoining areas of portmore and spanish town.

  yeah, that's where jws are concentrated, as well as their non-jw friends, work mates and family who they coerce into attendance.

  I am curious too what will be the result next year when the new facilities in Swifterbant, the Netherlands will open. Instead of central locations, most people will have to travel a long distance. And we have a lot of older brothers and sisters here!

  As a child I was shocked when someone at the door stated that the sun will die eventually. I said to myself: if this is true, we must be wrong about eternal life on earth.

  Later I learned that stars do indeed die and that even the Bible says so:
  

  http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2011489

  Scientists have since observed that stars may die violently in such explosions or burn out slowly or even collapse on themselves.

  In the 19th century, scientist William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin, discovered the second law of thermodynamics, which explains why, over time, natural systems tend to decay and break down. One factor that inspired him to reach this conclusion was a careful study of Psalm 102:25-27.

  So if stars die, so does our sun. No sun, no earth and no eternal life on earth. Now I understand why we always quote Psalm 104:5 and hardly ever Psalm 102:25-27.

  Mark Sanderson Talk re Belgium visit

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the degradation of the governing body members continues on.

  mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.

  in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.

  I recall that Germany had the highest number of anointed in the world back then - that is why Satan attacked them, wasn't it?

  Help - I'm going to be conducting the watchtower study

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it looks like i'm going to have to take the watchtower study for a while so i thought i'd seek help.. i wont be outing myself or stating anything too controversial, but so far i have come up with the following tactics : 1) ask questions which will get people thinking even if it is about something insignificant - developing a questioning mind is the key to discovering ttat as far as i am concerned.

  2) highlight any extreme points so that some might realise they are extreme.

  3) highlight any good points - helping others in need for example - just because it is the right thing to do.. if anyone has any general comments which could help, please post them here.

  Well, I had to do it for a period of time too. Tried to focus on details in Bible accounts that are seldom emphasized, like the enormous number of killed people (comparing it with the size of our assembies) and other tricky stuff. Brothers and sisters love it to hear new things... and after all it is in the Bible, so you can't go wrong

  Wild thing has a point. Even one who is reproved and on "restictions" is never denied the "privilege" of preaching.
