  this is the watchtower 2016 tax return.

  where are donations and expenses going?

  seems nothing going through watchtower!?.

  Is there anything that forces a non profit to disclose how much they received in donations and where all the money is spent? It seems if they don't have to report or disclose anything, then what's to stop non profits from taking in millions and just giving it to those who run it, and they don't even get taxed since no disclosure of the money changing hands?

  Do You Think Trump Bares Any Responsibility For The Mass Shootings Occuring?

  by minimus in

  when any mass shooting happens is it the president’s fault?

  i’m talking over the last few decades..

  I like how liberals are very selective with statistics, raw numbers, and when they are legit or they are racist.
  
  For example, statistics on black people in the USA, lower population percentage but much higher crime numbers and based on population percentage = racist police who let white people commit the same crimes like murder and theft and get away with it.
  
  In mass shootings, whites still aren't doing them higher than population percentage. They just use raw numbers, "ooo more whites than anybody else did mass shootings so there is a problem with whites!" ignoring relative to population percentage, 72% of population doing 55% of mass shootings. Then they say, all the mass shootings of other races and such don't count, they are only talking about the few that were in the media, so they only talk about a select few, but then post (2019 mass shootings to date (over 200) and try to apply all of that to whitey again.
  
  Then go on islamic terrorism, liberals whenever terror attacks and statistics, all of that is racist, don't say it. A white person does something, post everything and try to spin it to support their narrative. Or if you say, "Another black person did this, or another muslim did this" that's racist, then they are posting, "another white man did this..."
  
  I love calling out libs on their BS.

  If we could travel at light speed, would travel be 'instantaneous' for us??

  by Bad_Wolf in

  this might be confusing to think about.

  we know that as you approach the speed of light, time slows down, if you were in a spaceship, time goes by quicker on earth.

  we also know that distances between planets and such are measured at 'light years'.

  BW : we hope not. Some humans use excessive energy to travel faster thsn they should (it is better to travel than to arrive), and the planet's resources, purity are ruined by it.

  So humans remain on Earth until it dies or human race wiped out? Concerned about the 'universes' resources? Have you even a concept of how big the universe is? TRILLIONS of planets, how long do you think it will take humans to deplete the universes resources? Plus light speed makes it instantaneous for humans but not for time, the planet, or whoever is not traveling at light speed. So if went to a planet 1 million light years away, it wouldn't make humans instantly there and we are instantly at all planets, those who are not traveling, the time still goes by. So 1 million years would pass for a human to go to a planet 1 million light years away, but for that human it only feels instantaneous.
  
  But soon will come means many consider unethical to control human population, and will need to have the ability to spread to other planets. Eventually Earth will die, or the sun will.

  Why doesn’t the Governing Body hold debates to asses the qualifications of a new GB member?

  by I believe in overlapping in

  2. beliefs

  the members have no idea what qualifies someone has to be a member of the governing body.

  members know absolutely nothing about new members of the governing body who are appointed.

  kenneth cook was the last appointed governing body member in 2018..

  It is all rather irrelevant though. The energy to accelerate a person to 99% of light speed is enormous. The formula is E(k) = 1/2 m v^2. Basically, to accelerate 1kg to that speed you need 0.5 x 1 x 9 x 10^18 = 4.5 x 10^18 Joules, which is the equivalent energy of about 71,000 Hiroshima bombs. (My calc, based on Wikipedia saying that bomb released 6.3 x 10^13 Joules.) So to accelerate a 100kg human inside (say) a 900kg spaceship to 99% of the speed of light, you need the energy equivalent of around 71 million Hiroshima bombs. That is a heck of a lot of rocket power.

  Is that formula based on Earth and gravity or in space? I know it's possible though, big bang, black holes, utilizing other energy, may not be in our lifetime (the way for 'how' let alone the technology and means) but I think it will eventually happen.

  Pale.Emperor Summons Some Demons

  remember when we were jws and all loved to hear demon stories?

  and then there was always that paranoid person that would shut us up "in case they're listening"?

  and the resident crazy every congregation seems to have that claims to have been possessed at some point?.

  Did you make sure the witch also tried the summoning that can only happen during sex? https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/j5e888/sex-magic-how-to-cast-spells-with-your-orgasms
  
  You can send her my way, I'll let you know if any demons show up after we thoroughly go through every spell option there is.

  Something that's 10 light years away would still take 10 years of human lifetime to reach.

  To a person on Earth, if their friend traveled 10 light years away at light speed, the person on Earth would age 10 years, the person traveling at light speed from the moment hitting light speed would age not at all. So once there, that person would be 10 years younger than the person on Earth.

  Anything traveling at the speed of light does not age.
  So the light we see from distant galaxies is say 5 billion years old to us, but it has not aged since the photon was emitted during fusion in the sun it originated in.
  We can never travel at the speed of light, it's not possible.
  It's complicated and there are many relativistic issues, but generally the faster you go the more massive you become, requiring more energy go get that extra speed, making you more massive, requiring more energy...
  The point is as you approach the speed of light, it's impossible to have enough energy to overcome your mass.

  The universe is said to be almost 14 billion light years old, because of detecting galaxies/mass from almost 14 billion light years away. That would mean when the universe originated, the mass was about instantly moved, meaning it had to be at speed of light or I've seen claimed faster. Then I've seen it explained about expansion, and the movement was as if everything was on a balloon, and the balloon (space) only expanded and what was on it, with it. But if that's only the case, then how do you get colliding galaxies and such? If you put a bunch of dots on a balloon and blow it up, they never touch each other, just move further away equally. So did mass at origin of universe move speed of light or faster? If so then it's not impossible, we just haven't figured it out yet.

  Forgetting the part that we would need literally an infinite amount of energy to get to the speed of light in the first place, time would stand still for someone travelling at the speed of light. So from the traveller's point of view, they'll arrive at their destination at the very moment they hit the speed of light.

  Is an infinite amount of energy truly needed or is that just an 'illusion' from the viewpoint of bystanders? If so then the math itself is also based on the viewpoint of bystanders. If TIME itself ceases when an object hits the speed of light, bystanders will see it blasting through space, but as you pointed out, when arriving their destination it is the instant they hit the speed of light for them. When hitting the speed of light, does the energy also cease to age or be consumed? If that's the case, then it's only the energy to approach and get close to the speed of light and there should be an adjustment for time dilation. The only easy way I can think to explain this concept would be if you were to build a fire and must heat it to 10,000 degrees and make it last for 5 years. Imagine degrees is speed and years is light years. If the energy is measured at 10,000 degrees and lasting 5 years, vs if it hits 10,000 degrees and the 5 years is instant since time stopped for it (thought from our perspective it's lasting for 5 years).
  
  Not sure if this is considered when saying needing infinite energy to reach light speed or if this concept was not considered when those theories were made.
