OH I know the feeling!

As long as the kitten is walking fine now, don't worry.

I stepped on Poppy's paw earlier, and she yelped, but fortunately it wasn't my full weight.......

See Poppy here http://sirona.fotopic.net/c1391289.html with information about her.

Please post pics of your kitten!

Help needed: Killing the 'The light gets brighter' argument?

by jah1914 in

so after the revelation study last night where the paragraph was talking about how russell's interpertation of revelation basically didn't work and got discarded, my wife comments with the same old,"the light gets brigther, that's why i respect fds because at least they will change when they figure out something is wrong.

" (insert vomit here) afterwards, me and the book study conductor(i have to at least give him credit, he is someone i can talk to freely about my questions and he has not,as of yet, turned me in) got into a discussion of what 'the light gets brighter' really means.

he basically says so the brothers have made changes, so what?

1. What was true about the answer? Did the answer change or did your understanding of it change?

There is only one answer to the maths question - the actual true answer. You made an error and were later told what the error was.

2. How should your fellow students react to the mistake(s) you made? How would you want them to react? Once you have what you believe to be the correct answer, should you bring it back to them?

This is where his illustration falls down. The FDS is not just giving out the wrong answer in error. No. The student tutor has said - "Listen up everyone. I've solved this maths question. You all must believe it 100%, even if you suspect I might be wrong. Not only that, you must go outside of this class, go to the entire college and tell them this problem and this solution. If they tell you the solution is wrong, they simply don't have the right attitude."

One of the students replies "But student tutor, I've done the problem myself and it seems that the answer is XXX, so therefore you must have made an error somewhere"

The student tutor is incensed and says "YOU ! You have the wrong attitude. The answer is correct and that is that. If there is any changing to be done to the answer, then I WILL CHANGE IT NOT YOU. You must ALWAYS do what I say. Now run along and tell the whole college my answer"

Student: "But your answer is wrong"

Student Tutor "Please leave the class. I would also advise others in the class that if they discuss this with him they can leave the class too".

3. Do you think the teacher is upset that you tried and got the wrong answer to a very difficult problem? Would he be more upset if you just gave up and didn't keep trying to solve the problem? He would certainly be justified in being upset and removing you as a tutor if in the problem you missed some simple math portions(incorrectly added numbers, etc), but that wasn't the case you got the simple stuff right, you just missed the difficult portions.How should the teacher feel? After all you were one of the few to actually set up and try to help the other students?

The teacher has to deal with the fallout of you going telling the whole college something which is incorrect. He is also annoyed at the Student Tutor because he didnt' have the humility to listen to his student (who ended up being right, but had been expelled from the class). He is annoyed that you didnt invite the expelled student back as soon as you realised the answer you gave was wrong. He would remove you as tutor until you taught the students properly and stopped inappropriately expelling people. He considers your "help" to be just an excuse to get the other students to do as you say.

Hi

Well if you want more info you'd need to look it up at least briefly on the net.

Horus is the son of Isis and Osiris - Gods of Ancient Egypt. As such he predates Christianity by thousands of years. Egypt greatly influenced the Isrealites and their world-view.

Isis, Osiris and Horus are reflected in Mary, Yahweh and Child (Jesus).

Someone posted on this thread regarding the "Jesus Mysteries" - it is a good book if taken with a pinch of salt. Some good information.
