Paranormal Warning

by Cold Steel in

i've heard some weird stories coming from jws about the paranormal.

i know about the warnings about items that come from unbelievers -- those don't interest me as much.

what i am interested in are actual experiences in stories of the paranormal you've heard or experienced yourself.

Holy hell! It worked! Gonna donate now!!

I actually just bought a combo washer/dryer so they didn't get lost in the transition from the washer to the dryer.

your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

Viviane

well I know what my professor preached.

What does that have to do with you being wrong?

Ruling things out as you build your theory comprised of other facts is absolutely part of the scientific process of defining a theory. I don't know where you studied but...

You mean hypothesis. A hypothesis doesn't have to contain any facts, that's why it's a hypothesis. You're a classic example of Viv's Law. And still wrong about science.

LOL @Viviane I'll take that as you have nothing better to say...and you're saying UC Berkley is wrong by the way....buy hey thx for playin'

Please remain honest. I made no comment on your post from UC Berkeley. I am simply pointing out that your comments, specifically "A good scientist will consider all possibilities not just the ones convenient for him" and "it's all about eliminating the possibilities" are incorrect. That has absolutely nothing to do with the UC Berkeley quote.

From the site you linked to:

Science is both a body of knowledge and a process. In school, science may sometimes seem like a collection of isolated and staticfacts listed in a textbook, but that's only a small part of the story. Just as importantly, science is also a process of discovery that allows us to link isolated facts into coherent and comprehensive understandings of the natural world.
Science is exciting. Science is a way of discovering what's in the universe and how those things work today, how they worked in the past, and how they are likely to work in the future. Scientists are motivated by the thrill of seeing or figuring out something that no one has before.
Science is useful. The knowledge generated by science is powerful and reliable. It can be used to develop new technologies, treat diseases, and deal with many other sorts of problems.
Science is ongoing. Science is continually refining and expanding our knowledge of the universe, and as it does, it leads to new questions for future investigation. Science will never be "finished."
Science is a global human endeavor. People all over the world participate in the process of science. And you can too!

Notice there is nothing about eliminating possibilities. If eliminating possibilities were the goal of science, we would be investigating whether or not the Sun were made up of fireflies made up of miniature Shetland ponies made up of teacups. After all, that's a possibility because we may just not have the means to detect it yet.

I can't find it at my alma at the moment but UC Berkley should do just fine. The below is a common statement in just about any science related degree. It aligns with what I'm saying. It is not a war.

War? What in the world are you on about? You're just wrong about science.

oh here you are viv - I thought you might be sulking in a corner over the fact that your side have been name calling and insulting others more or less from the start of this thread

My side? What in the world are you talking about?

Why should an assurance count as a meaningful comment?

Another meaningless question.

@Viviane it's all about eliminating the possibilities. Ruling things out is a critical action of science. Where did u study?

Wrong again. Viv's Law still holds true.

hadriel viv is a jack (sorry jackess) of all trades - she has studied a little of this that and the other. she is here to rally her side when they are threatened with defeat

I am not at all surprised that you resort to calling names.It's literally all you have.

JW and the Sabbath

by Andromeda in

hello brothers and sisters and truth seekers,.

i am an active jehovah's witness.

i don't believe in 1914 and i'm tototally against their way of dealing with abuse cases.

Viviane

Altogether ignoring the millions of peoples' lives that have been saved through a blood transfusion.

Very true. Using Andromeda's reasoning, it is safe to conclude that all Christians are dangerous pedophiles because some are.

A good scientist will consider all possibilities not just the ones convenient for him.

Not true. You're a perfect example of Viv's Law.

Outside of item one which is simply my opinion, if you disagree with either 2 or 3 you're not being honest and only considering possibilities which fit your narrative.

Viv's law in action. You really need to start with this thread...https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/420420001/quality-thinking-warning-long-post-ahead

Why should we suppose our view of reality is more truthful than a dolphin for example?

Is that supposed to be a meaningful question? I assure you it isn't.

Hadriel in science they don't like to attribute changes to unique events and tend to keep on pursuing explanations that are more systematic. so here you will meet a lot of resistance.

A perfect example of Viv's Law.
