scanning thru the usual jw sites, i saw a link to this site:.
https://www.talk2practice.com/.
looks like a standard language-tutoring site, right?.
It just seems so sketchy, from beginning to end
It does. Or at the very least, unprofessional.
It says you need a basic knowledge of the target language to participate.
Okay, what would that be? A2? B1? B2? Maybe even C1?
The site doesn't use the basic terms of language learning.
they have predicted this for years.
religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.
the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..
Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?
No.
The JW claim was that governments would turn on all religion, making it "devastated" and "naked."
Religion is too basic a human need for that to happen. Sure there are authoritarian regimes here and there and people who dislike religion in all forms here and there, but the idea of it happening around the world is ridiculous.
Imagine how that idea would play out with any of the three Abrahamic faiths, for example. Christians, Muslims and Jews have happily died for their religions for thousands of years. Imagine how the idea would be received in the Middle East, where the distinction between government and religion is debatable.
the media like cnn msnbc, nytimes, etc.
have incentives to scare the public and encourage lock down--blame trump.. democrats also have incentives, to lock down the country—blame trump.
there were incentives for hospitals to report every death as a covid death------30,000 us dollars funded from the government for every covid death reported by any hospital.
I was talking about other countries. As in Israel. And Germany. And the UK. And Japan. And Canada. And Finland. And France. And South Korea. And India. And China
American politics does not dictate medical practices for the whole world.

I don't have a closed mind when it comes to alternative treatments, but the tie-in to American politics sounds sketchy.
Surely you realize that every single technologically advanced country in the world is exploring treatment options?
this will never work but liberals are too stupid to know it.
first off all you have to do is cross the border and buy a car.
if they will not let you license it in the state then many will license it out of state.
ban private car ownership altogether. limit travel to essential journeys only.
My daily commute is 82 miles (132 kilometers) round trip. Not at all unusual in the U.S.
if you accuse people of being stuck in jw mindset or "cult-like" mentality simply because someone has a different view of politics than you, you'll be deleted.. it's insulting and a lazy substitute for having any real argument for a proper debate.. what next ... "you smell" ?.
It doesn't really matter what the belief is.
If it's coming from a place of emotion rather than reason, there are going to be similarities to the JW's.
This is a human thing that all of us are susceptible to because we're all human,
a woman is suing a local congregation ("kingdom hall of jehovah’s witnesses, roy, utah, an unincorporated association"), individual elders and watchtower ny after, she claims, a judicial committee forced her to listen an audio recording of her own rape.
the trial court summarized the facts as alleged by the plaintiff as follows:.
at the time of the judicial committee, plaintiff was fifteen years old.
I would sue the elders for obtaining, having and exposing a child to child pornography.
Right?
Why are there not accompanying criminal charges in addition to the civil suit?
the famous double-slit experiment proves that light travels both in individual particles called photons and also as a mathematical probability wave.
matter itself exhibits this particle-wave duality which allows objects to exist in two different places at the same time, depending on whether of not you are looking (testing) at it.
scientists have recently been able to get molecules as large as 2000 atoms to exhibit this duality!.
A bifurcation is a logical fallacy when the dichotomy is false or in some other sense, needless. The distinction here is one you've set up yourself via your initial questions, so the difference between data and thought is important.
I think we're veering off from the original question, which was about the origin of information, but in response, I would say that information still exists regardless of whether there is a sentient being to interpret it. As I pointed out, DNA does its thing in the absences of sentience and even were this not the case, tree rings, ice cores and other naturally occurring records of the past would still exist regardless of whether anyone bothered to decipher them or not.

Seabreeze,
But with all due respect, there is no such thing as a primitive form of life. A single cell has thousand of functions, parts.....
In the context of the questions you posed (i.e. "Where does information come from if not from a mind??" and "In whose mind did the information originate?") coupled with your observation about cats, my use of the word, primitive was meant strictly in the sense of sentience.
I think this is a good example of how slippery and imperfect a communication medium language can be sometimes and why it's important to qualify terms like "primitive" and "information" so that other people know exactly what we're talking about.
I'm still not sure if we're talking about information in the sense of data, which does not require an intelligent mind or in the sense of communication which does.
when you're easily convinced about a total impossibility.. such as what?.
such as a defeated president actually being able to refuse.
to step down from office.
Yes, taken in isolation, Trump refusing to leave office if he's voted out is very bad.
But the context of this is that there are legitimate concerns that Democrats will use postal votes to commit voting fraud.
But doesn't that speak to the root of the problem? That (judging from his suggestion earlier this year that the election be postponed) Trump believes he would continue to be president in the interim while the results of a contested election are sorted out?
