You'd think Holy Spirit would have seen this coming and told the GB to choose another logo before blundering into yet another legal dead-end....

What words has the WT redefined?
by Splash in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
these days, virtually every public talk speaker thinks it's interesting and intellectual to include a dictionary definition of some word.

often the word is in common use and needs no explanation, such as 'exercise', or 'knowledge', or whatever.. now contrast that to all of the words that the wt has it's own meaning for, and referencing a dictionary for the common understanding of it would be viewed unfavourably.. words like 'generation' or 'men' (as in jesus is mediator between god and 'men' - 1tim 2:5-6).. what words have the wt redefined that you know about?

- i'd like to compile a list if possible.. splash.

Atlanta Int Convention 2014:The Big Party. Does this look like WT believes Armageddon is coming "soon"?

.. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.

instead of preaching and saving people??.

@ gingerbread: These racial and economic "groups" are the target of the Org. They need these people.

.

I agree. JW numbers in developed countries are flat or decreasing. WT needs 'new blood', and typically the most vulnerable groups are those that are poor and uneducated (and without access to the Internet).

Large segments of the population with little hope (regardless of ethnicity) are a prime target for any religion/cult.

IS Science Absolute Truth
by seekchristonly in
1. watchtower
2. bible
if we have faith in science and scientific claims about the universe, origins of life etc.

is that absolute truth.

if so then if they declare that god exists with evidence then do all those who believe in science then believe in god or a creator.

@ Keyser Soze: He redefined the word "Idiot".. He didn't redefine it, he just helped everyone gain a deeper understanding of the word.

Everyone could finally put a face to the word.

Another WT word:

"Closure" = ending the mystery of what "idiot" means...introducing Anthony Morris 3

Does Genesis Prove Science Right

does the biblical account prove the scientific theory of how the universe came into existence.
AndDontCallMeShirley

@ cofty: seekchristonly/themaccauk11 - Why are you using 2 accounts simultaneously?

.

Because SCO/thegobbleygook11 has so much foolishness to spout one account cannot contain it all...

Scientific knowledge is not a collection of subjective opinions. Rather, it is a collection of explanations about objective reality that is based on observed or predicted phenomena. In addition, the explanation must be verified repeatedly to confirm that it correctly models reality.

As our technical ability to observe reality improves, we are able to increase the quality and quantity of our observations. Better-observed data challenge our explanations, some of which will no longer fit the observed facts. New theories are then formed and either verified or falsified.

.

In contrast, religion denies the evidence in order to keep their "faith" and traditions intact and has no interest in testing the veracity of their beliefs.

to James Brown: you cited the example of blood-letting in connection with G. Washington's death in order to poke holes in science. Well, guess what? The reason blood-letting is not practiced anymore is because science reevaluated the evidence and moved on as knowledge increased.

What progress has religion made since Washington's time? Or since religion was invented, for that matter?
