I read through this entire thread and many good points have been made. This thread should be kept active over this period to help highlight this burning issue that is worrying a lot of people right now. Someone already mentioned how the HLC tried to get involved in their upcoming surgery. In my example, I kept my operation a number of years back very quiet till a couple of days before; and down played the size of my op. 1 day after my op, a HLC member had 'heard'. I was in for an operation and came to visit me. I couldn't believe it. As a matter of fact , I actually refused blood at the time. So my advice is not to let on that you are having surgery beforehand or at least not for a day or 2 anyway. That keeps the HLC from interfering.

NEW BLOOD CARD w/ FORCED COMPLIANCE also LEGALISM
by apocalypse ini have looked around and i don't see this covered, so i am starting a thread.. 1) the new "blood card" goes beyond being just a "blood card".. 2) a new edict concerning compliance.. pay attention to the changes.. first, the new card is termed "advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment".
the big change with the card itself is that it includes an 'override' of your "power of attorney".
this is huge.

The fact you can't question 'anything'; The control they exert over people's lives; Their extreme shunning policy; the blood issue; their arrogance in refusing to be open with the media, and police when it comes to child abuse cases; their stubbornness and dogmatic approach to everything. I could go on -

Evolution is a Fact #34 - Hiccups and Tadpoles
by cofty inhiccups are a weird phenomena.
they are a combination of two involuntary actions - firstly a rapid inhalation of breath followed 35 milliseconds later by the glottis at the back of the throat suddenly closing off our airway.. our normal breathing is controlled by a "central pattern generator" in a small region of the brain stem close to the boundary with the spinal cord.
a signal is sent along the vagus and phrenic nerves resulting in a rhythmic contraction of muscles in chest, diaphragm and throat.. these nerves branch off right at the top of the spinal cord and follow a convoluted path through the chest cavity.

Hey Clearview
I have attached this comical you tube link that gives a fairly reasonable explanation as to why the moon appears upside down in the southern hemisphere from a flat earth perspective. Albeit the guy looks a bit crazy and uses the F word a couple of times, his explanation does make a bit of sense.

Also here is another video explaining a possible theory as to how the tides work from a flat earth perspective

clear view - I am sure the answers to those questions are out there somewhere. I don't know the answers to those questions, but will do research into them. Thanks for bringing to my attention. I would say however that the flight paths are quite fascinating. On a globe earth, they make no sense whatsoever. On a flat earth map, they make whole lot of sense. Also the united nations use a flat earth flag. Why do they do that. quite strange. -

Landy...your comment made me chuckle. Most people laugh at the whole ideas as I initially did. But just take a look at one proof. People are sending balloons with go pro cameras very high up into the earths atmosphere and there are a number of videos showing hotspots of the sun on the top of the clouds. That is impossible if the sun is 93 million miles away. Check and see for yourself on youtube -

Cofty......surely you meant truth"explorer". I look at different perspectives. It just so happens that I stumbled across the flat earth topic on you tube and laughed at how ridiculous the whole thing was - initially. I wasn't being 'desperate' to prove creation. However the further I have looked into the flat earth theory, the further I am convinced that we are being deceived about the shape of the earth. NASA appears to be making a lot of lies which go on and on. But getting back to the point. There is much evidence to prove the earth is not a sphere. That the sun and moon are much closer to earth and that it is the sun that rotates around the earth. Also remember the biblical passage where God made the sun stand still in the sky/firmament so that Joshua could defeat his enemies. This all harmonises. If so, and was absolutely proven; then the genesis account is credible and correct. -

Pardon the pun Cofty, but I am going to cause a big hiccup. The biggest conspiracy all over YouTube right now puts Genesis chapter one squarely and firmly back where it should be in regards to how things came about. Dare you go down that rabbit hole is up to you. But one thing for sure, it is strengthening mine and many others faith in creation. It is the 'flat earth' conspiracy. Try debunking the flat earth. Your eyes will be opened.
