Where to draw the line: how Platonism haunts our discourse and the search for exorcism
by slimboyfat inin the discussion about race i adopted a position i am not entirely comfortable with.
i think there is a sense in which it is useful to distinguish categories of description that can be fruitfully defended (apples and bananas) and those that cannot (caucasian or other racial descriptions for example).
but there is a more fundamental sense in which i believe that everything is socially constructed, every single line you can think of.

Lurkers: A truth is either true, or it isn't. There is no in between.
by cappytan intruth is absolute.
there is no such thing as 2=1 or 1=2.. if one starts out with the equation 2=1, one has already failed.. truth = truth.
you cannot change whether something is truth or not.. when the organization teaches one thing as a truth (ex.

The truth is, the 'truth' is whatever the jw hierarchy can persuade their fixated adherants to believe whether it's true or not. If they are persuaded by whatever means compounded by their need to believe(or else)that is their truth until hopefully they snap out of their rabbit in the headlights mindset. -

Is the term "worldly" outdated?
by A.proclaimer inyesterday i had to listen to the co from a spanish congregation on the phone.
he said the fds has been gradually moving away from the word "worldly" and teaching jws not to use the term anymore.
has anyone heard this in their congregation or heard the term "non-believers" used before?

His body language speaks volumes, anyone speaking to encourage others in the wonderful works of jehovah via the faithful slave would surely... most definitely speak and gesture with a joyful uplifting self believing manner. This guys eyes are dead and demeanor morose... I see no uplifting joy in imparting his words of be obedient and obey ... or else !!! -

Are Magicians Spawns of Satan the Devil?
by Cold Steel ini was perusing the internet not long ago and came upon this series of videos by a guy calling himself xendrius.
it declares that many of today's best magicians are in league with the devil.
his claims are based on his observation that the tricks would be impossible to do unless the magicians had made unholy pacts with the devil.. so what's the take of the wtbts?

.....That ol' black magic has me in its spell
That ol' black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers running up and down my spine
That same ol' witchcraft when your eyes meet mine :
The devil must have had a hand in those lyrics !! Lol
Edit .... were Cadbury's black magic chocolates banned in your jw household ?

My experience with some ex-JW Christians
by opusdei1972 incurrently i can accept the existence of "god" if you say that "god" is a superior rational being.
i support the idea for the existence of superior beings living in other places.
it means to me that we, humans, are not the superior ones in the universe.

Opusdei...."if you ' say ' that god is a superior rational being ". There in lies the rub. To say or in other words define/ describe 'god' as anything you care to mention is entirely a construct of human imagination. There are undoubtedly many and complicated reasons as well as simplistic reasons eg., I just wish it to be so..ex jws who cling to their belief in god have not imo fully understood why being a jw and the reason for that religions existence is entirely due to belief in 'saying' that god is a superior rational being...they are in effect just going around in circles. -

The sales pitch for these wtbts properties must rank as the hight of hypocrisy for these charlatans.... it flies directly in the face of their belief and teachings that this worldly system is doomed and that salvation and individual hope for the future rests NOT with property investment but worship faith and trust in their figurehead directed Interpretation of ancient myth and skewed reasoning of parables.... let the reader discern !! -
