No, Iridium flares have a distinctive trail when photographed. They start off as a faint moving dot, over seconds becoming very bright (flaring), then dimming again before disappearing.

Star Trails
by ILoveTTATT inone of the things that i have only done once... but i would love to do again and again until i perfect the technique, is called star trails.. my camera is a canon 60d.
there is a way to "hack" the canon dslr's so that they get some amazing functionalities, such as taking a picture just by clapping (really cool for when you want to take a picture and no one is able to push the button) and taking pictures at certain intervals.. you can read more about this "hacking" on .

Well, that is a stellar first attempt, ILoveTTATT
Other 'trail' pictures you might want to try eventually are ISS fly-bys and Iridium satellite flares.

Anyone remember the old Beliefnet Poster - Apologist?
by TheListener inseveral years ago on beliefnet there was a jw apologist named "apologist".
he was very well written and defended the dubs very well.
he had several debates with auld soul and others on beliefnet which were fun to read.. i recently found out that the poster "apologist" is no longer a witness and does not consider them to have the "truth".

He did (does?) have a prickly arrogance to him which I found irritating. Still, he devoted himself, perhaps obsessively, to biblical education/learning; he didn't like the Org's stance on higher education and individual biblical research and went to Theological College despite obstacles and attitudes (including from some evangelicals due to his beliefs at the time). Gotta give the guy credit for his energy, determination and standing by his beliefs.

Nice :-) Are those planes or satellites crossing those trails?
Have you tried the circumpolar stars?

If I were sat there my WT margins would be blue with scrawled rants against the distortions. Sympathies to those having to sit and take this today. It'll be over soon.

Order in the universe
by Rattigan350 inthis topic was covered in book study last night.
some commented that the universe is ordered and the stars don't collide.. that has nothing to do with order.
it is more to do with that there is more space between the stars and planets and things go between them if they were in the same area.. and do they not consider that the many things that colliided with the moon to make those crators?.

Want to know why people accept evolution ?
by snare&racket indo you have questions about or want to understand evolution?
it is a difficult concept to communicate and so if it is not explained well , it is understandable that we would dismiss it.. i sincerely want to talk with people who want to learn more or see what all the fuss is about.
we are all learning and increasing our knowledge all the time and it is good to go over facts with critical eye.. evolution we can discuss, looking at the foundational facts and evidence, one at a time for you to go and check, agree or disagree with and return.. no pressure to accept it, you can decide for yourself, also no mocking etc of what you have to say.. .

Critique of Mar 2014 Awake on Creation by Alan Feuerbacher
by jwfacts inalan feuerbacher has written a tremendous critique of the march 2014 awake!, which contains a grossly dishonest discussion on creation.
the pdf file can be downloaded from awake_march_2014_creation_critique.pdf.
it highlights watchtower use of poor and contradictory reasoning..
