I have looked seriously at the so-called evidence for flat earth conspiracies and moon-landing conspiracies and many of the other ones.
Oh?
I suspect you have not.
They are all crap.
Damn effective debating right there^^

What's the 'firmament'?
Who was admiral Byrd? ( have you heard his televised interview? )
What was Operation High Jump?
When was NASA formed?
Why is there an international treaty, effectively closing Antarctica?
Why are there no 'real', non-CGI pictures of the earth or satellites from space?
Why does high altitude balloon footage reveal a flat horizon at eye level when a fish eye lens isn't used? ( at 120,000 feet )
I await your well researched answers.

Flat earth nonsense is not worthy of any response other than ridicule.
How would you go about proving the curve?

What evidence would you present?
Do you rely solely on NASA photos?
Have YOU done any experiments of your own?
Can you repeat the findings?

When you are on the moon the earth looks small, when you are behind the moon and farther away, it's bigger...
Seriously?

Come forward. Tell us how this can be.

And again, no stars?

Singing todays WT
by road to nowhere in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the jist was that we all should sing.

then the first 6 or 8 paragraphs describe how early bible accounts have trained and set aside musicians to do the singing while everyone else listened.. the songs they have put out have no soul, rhythm, or soothing melodies as a whole.

the old hymns are some real music, even if you don't agree with the "teachings".. there is no admission of poetry using archaic language at times for affect or to add to the rhyme, they have to have everything agree with the grey bible.. anyone speak foreign languages?

When I attended, there was a lady that sang very loud and very badly.
We're talking, never in tune, with long, over-held notes that had a 'vibrato' that sounded like an injured animal, sometimes rising uncontrollably in pitch.
Imagine the worst singing you've ever heard, but worse.

It started to get out of hand when half the congregation was trying not to laugh during the songs. I can clearly remember opening or closing a meeting and ABSOLUTELY not making eye contact with certain ones when she was there ( which was always ).
Once you started laughing, you'd run the risk of laughing out loud during your own public prayer, which was soon to follow...
Don't miss any of it.

So the Egyptians found some old tech, built the pyramids, and then promptly lost that tech again?
Many believe there was an ancient cataclysm 11-12k years ago.
See where your research takes you.

They're both real.
Oh?
From the moon the earth is small, from beyond the moon, it's bigger.

The away shot is from some satellite, right?
I like how they never include stars.

You know what's more fun?
More satisfying, too:
Google Images earth from space
Tell us which ones are 'real'...
Or don't!

My guess is they were built using a lost technology.

I do not claim to know. There are clues. Machine tool marks, polishing, etc
Truthfully, there is very little study or interest in megaliths amongst the population.

Who's heard of Gobekli Tepe? It's barely been excavated.

Let's all remember, before we left JWs we were SURE we had 'the truth' and nobody was going to ever say otherwise....
