Flat earth vs round earth

by Jrjw in

my brother has been talking about the earth being flat and some big conspiracy going on to make people beieve otherwise.

what are people's thoughts on this?.

MrRoboto

alot of what ive seen in south america is falling apart and looks a bit too much like formed concrete falling apart. im rather an expert at that since my stairs look just like them!

Don't you think that some people are just better off within the org?

friends

this is my first post, i will introduce myself later.

first of all, i must say that english is not my mother tongue (i'm spanish), so excuse me if i make any mistake.. do you think that some people simply can't cope with being outside the jws?

some of them are too worldlyphobic to be around non-jws, too dependent on a fixed set of rules in order to carry on with their lives, too dependent on the hope of paradise and resurrection, too unable to leave their personal comfort zone within the organization.

MrRoboto

berrygerry just curious can you give your top 3 best rated high control groups? (boy does that sound weird)

Did man really go to the moon?

by atomant in

l have researched this subject and come to the conclusion that no we didn't.what do others think?.

MrRoboto

Islandman you do realize that my comparison was one nasa satellite image vs another nasa satellite image and not maps, right? that is to say that in one image, north america takes up nearly the entire 1/2 globe and in others, its smaller than that, the scaling is off. review kairos pics from earlier in this thread, he posted some of the pics I'm talking about. these are easy to find using google and are official nasa imagery.

you do have some interesting observations about maps though... who would have ever thought that people would try to portray themselves as being more than they are...? nothing like internet forums, thank goodness!

"waaah! im not a jw anymore stop saying im acting like one! waah"

No woories, help is on the way, I've called the waaah-mbulance, should be there any moment.

seriously, your only defence to not treating others like human beings and being called out for it is "waaaah! dont call me out!" ?

really?

would you to start swinging already? maybe that says more about you than it does me, or other folks here.

Do better, i know you can.

I say, lets find out! Lets tear down the tower and rid the planet of the 7 kings at their "house of god" maybe give them a nice hut to live in, in congo.

seriously though, No.

Because their security blanket can be destroyed thread by thread and their wall to the "world" can be demolished brick by brick. admittedly though it would be quite a feat and success is not a sure thing. it would likely take years for some folks, but IMHO it can be done.

If you are an elder, you may be able to expidite things a bit, they can get away with things that most folks cant and might be able to push some folks just enough to get them in the right state of mind to start to see ttatt. after that it can take care of itself for many folks.

Is it 16?

by Jrjw in

hi can anyone tell me if it's true the society says parents must take their child to meetings until they're 16 even if they don't want to?

my ex is being a pain about me not forcing my 12 year old to be a witness.

he doesn't know i'm becoming inactive at moment so i have to be careful how i word things to him.

MrRoboto

sounds like u have no kids with him? if thats the case, maybe you can get a court order that limits his contact with you. in the US its called a restraining order, not sure if you have that option there.

that may ruffle some jw feathers but its a personal choice, not the business of the cong/elders.

im not doing the us them thing, theres me and you and this person and that one, everone stands on their own, or falls alone.

evidence can be overwhelming for 2 opposing ideas, that doesnt make your preferred one actually true. please just acknowledge that.

evidence is only as strong as your belief and what it means to you.

so while some nasa images may be overwhelming evidence of satellites snapping pics of a round earth, im a bit more objective when i tell you that the continents are not sized right on one vs the other, and so its overwhelming evidence that nasa doctors pictures and releases them as official satellite imagery. i cant go past that though, it wouldnt be objective or reasonable.

i dont watch videos like you were referring to and accusations are not necessary, only observation and the ability to objectively analyse what you can see. with those two alone, assuming arent litterally blind, youll be able to figure out what the deal is but if cant be objective, you could just start slinging mud, then you can be comfortable.

and yes, calling people names and refusing to consider outside evidence is exactly JWish.

Dont be a JW.
