  normal behaviour

  or

  people’s behavior

  "appears" different...but, means the same.

  Worth a thought, isn't it?...you be the "judge".

  this one for simon.

  others chime in if you agree.. sometimes i find it hard to track the threads where i have posted and where i have posted last on a particular thread.

  it's very time consuming to go and look for it.

  May I ask for your consideration:

  What interests you?

  What natural ability do you have?

  What particular skill might align your interest with that ability?

  You have patience, doubtful1799.

  Beautifully written; a journey for sure!

  I wish you well.

  We keep the peace by not discussing anything at all controversial.

  Words of wisdom, these.

  Don’t get me wrong, I have had a good life, but I could have done so much more with it if I had known the real truth. I could have been a real help to people, not just pseudo help.

  That is a beautiful sentiment, but your dissatisfaction might not be called for.

  One question: How do you think, your experience has affected your idea/expectations of "truth"? Please respond at your convenience.

  Thank you,

  S K Ditta.

  How did the theocratic ministry school benefit you?

  Perhaps, the art of seeing relations between concepts in a "pre-defined" structure.

  And how words in books can connect in ways with realities of actions, words, and behaviors.

  If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?

  didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.

  seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.

  May I answer the opening question with the question:

  Between Pilate and the Jewish people of Jesus' time, who appears to be the wiser? They both had "the truth" standing right there in front of them!

  It seems that many witnesses simply dont care about facts?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i often wonder if the current crop of witnesses, especially the youth and younger ones simply don't care about facts?.

  i mean for some, even with knowledge of the past scandals, misleading teachings, mistruths, etc etc, they simply don't care.

  "it is the truth after all".. they are so intertwined in the operations and activities of the society, that they cant see anything outside of it.

  Beliefs can happily flourish without any facts at all.
  

  Yes, they do because people are bound also by objectives, not just beliefs.

  Like "alternative facts"...outside the JW world.
