Waves in Gravity detected, another lucky hit?

by prologos in

gravity waves sound like a special kind of sound, so is this another lucky hit in the otherwise discredited bible?

gen i: 3,6,9,"said" like in acoustics?

note the subject area, and be objective.

Bohm,

I do not want to argue with you, but I can certainly look up my name on the google to get the post, which I did, and that we as class back then had discussed that the first observation of the gravity wave. While the URL link from 2006 where this news came from is no more available, I certainly know my name and school I went to to locate 10 years old post. Any case, the wave gravity discussions are around for years. When they were first observed, I do not know, but in my Earth science class, we talked about it under the accredited curriculum.

Memorial preaching and invitation

today, i had a chat with my sister, about kids, mom, my problems, her problems.

as i expected, she brought up the memorial.

she asked me, if i will go, and of my answer was no.

Today, I had a chat with my sister, about kids, mom, my problems, her problems. As I expected, she brought up the memorial. She asked me, if I will go, and of my answer was no. I did not want to go about the theology with her about it, because I think it is a shame because if anyone believes in Jesus's sacrifice, then everyone should be partaking, not only a few the chosen one from the pack of 144K. Next thing, I was subjected to the preaching of dogma in a rather hostile tone that irritated me. That Jesus died, so she can live in Paradise, and I have to survive Armageddon if I return or get resurrected after Armageddon, but with my demeanor, there won't be any survival or resurrection. For me.

Hence, I need to return to KH so the family will be back together. I said I do not see a purpose of it, because it sham. She told me that JW had changed a lot in 20 years, and it's not the same organization that I left. That it changes all the time. Which, I answered, "yes sis, you get this one right". So she got upset and told me that she depend on Jehovah, unlike me who trying to survive ongoing layoffs within the company, seems Jehovah is punishing me already. Now I am really pissed.

I left the call on friendly call, but now they will have TV, where the GB will greet its witnesses on the Memorial via web TV. Is this true?

I remember that one of my class in undergrad, we were discussing the observation of the gravity wave, which suppose to happen for the first time ever. That was around 2006. I know it, because I still have a post on the internet from that year.

What I remember, the gravity moves in waves were discovered years ago. I remember we had discussed when I did my undergrad on this specific topic that the gravity waves moves with the speed of light. This was ten years ago or so.

gravity is "just a theory"?

There are a lot of unknowns when it comes to gravity and much of the explanations are conducted by a various theory construct.

lf the paradise earth is real would you want to live there?

by atomant in

l know l would.anyone that says no is kidding themselves.just imagine going up to the hole of a cobra and patting it on the head like a pet.or running like a deer through the woods.who knows we might grows wings and be able to fly as well.food for thought.

no, it would be a hell overtime. Still Earth will go through climate issues, tornadoes, earthquakes; they are a vital part of making this planet habitable.

Once you are confined into this space and time what you will do after you visit all the places in 10,000 years not to mention in 1 million?

After leaving what did you Major in?

by Luther bertrand in

i am curious if my observations are correct.

i noticed alot of exjws end up majoring in the social sciences.

i am also interested in what educational choices people have made either while fading or while completely out.

I am actually looking for a school in the PhD program with Remote Sensing and GIS. I have talked to a couple of schools already, but the main issue will be funded for it. However, my biggest worries is to be able to secure jobs. I noticed that lately the STEM degrees have not made easier for people to get a job and there is a surplus of labor force at this moment.

It is also important to see that half of the population in the USA does not bother to vote. The participation rate is between 48% to 52% and local election attracts even less people. Half of the population thinks that their votes does not matter and this will not change with the GOP or DEM candidate. The GOP is betting on apathy and expecting their demographic (WM > 50 with IQ 100) to vote enough. DEM think that they can buy younger votes, but in the overall system, it does not matter who will win election.

Interesting article about the evidence of the Jewish Exodus

by cappytan in

jw

the reality is that there is no evidence whatsoever that the jews were ever enslaved in egypt.

yes, there's the story contained within the bible itself, but that's not a remotely historically admissible source.

i'm talking about real proof; archeological evidence, state records and primary sources.

One thing, large population movements even in neolithic era can be easily to trace from archaeology. We know movement of ancient Greeks from Balkans, Sea People who ravished Levant, Scythians who raided Persian Empire, Goths who crossed Danube. Yet, we cannot recover any evidence of large movement of Jews from Egypt. We are not talking about tribal family, but according to OT up to 1 million people. For comparison, barbarian raid upon Western Roman Empire in 405 which pretty much destroyed Roman position in western Europe had 200,000 people.

If I would have to do over again, I would go for undergrad in earth science with specialization on oil exploration or remote sensing, and go for postgrad in project management or MBA in that field.

I went to STEM, my undergrad is IT and computer programming, and my Masters is related to Earth Science/GIS/computer programming. I am thinking to go for PhD in GIS and remote sensing (have mind set up either in VT, GMU, University of Colorado, Maryland, or UT in Dallas) or go for another master that would be related to IT/CS.
