l have researched this subject and come to the conclusion that no we didn't.what do others think?.
Simple proof that we made it to the moon:
The whole thing was driven by competition between the USSR and USA. The live TV shots originated on the moon. It would seem obvious that the Russians would have had a directional antenna pointed at the moon. If those TV images had not been transmitted from the moon, they would have screamed at the tops of their lungs. The fact that they didn't is proof we got there and have the TV pictures to prove it.
i thought the flat earth conspiracy theory was strange but ive just read an article about a new conspiracy theory that the earth is hollow and that its a paradise there and 8 foot tall intellectually advanced aliens live there who send space ships out every so often to check on mankind.
apparently lost viking colonies and nazis that fled there after world war 2 are living there immortally 🤣🤣 .
this world just gets better and better 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
It's not a new theory, it started out in the late 1600's; and had a rational basis at the time as it was an attempt to explain movement of the magnetic poles.
None. Nationalism creates an "us" and "them"
Nonsense. "Us" and "them" preceded nationalism by several thousand years. Before we had nations, we had city-states, before that we had tribes. Medieval Europe wasn't all that great a place to live.

for $150: collaboration with the backer so that their story of successfully escaping an abusive belief system (300 words max) features along with others in the final pages of how to escape from jehovah's witnesses.
the text will be written by the author but will include a minimum of one quote worded by the backer.
I figured out what bothers me the most about this: it plays right into the Watchtower's narrative about "apostates" We're all greedy and out to attract followers to ourselves so we can take their money. We don't need to give them ammunition to use against us.
2017 grand totals.
branches of jehovah’s witnesses: 90. .
number of lands reporting: 240. .
Interesting. 284,000 baptized and average publishers only goes up by 110,000. What happened to everybody else? And it only took 7000 publisher hours per baptism. That's the equivalent of 3.5 people working full time jobs to get one person, and neither of those sets of numbers takes into account born ins.
What a waste of time.
quite possibly the most cringeworthy thing i've seen them do yet.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tk88rstv6o.
I only got through the first verse.
I didn't get that far.
i ask this question out of interest, because as a jehovahs witness for some 26 years, i have always felt that there is an 'all work, no play' culture within the organisation.
the organisation doesn't promote social gatherings.
i could count on one hand each year how many get togethers we have had.
The first congregation I was in (1973-1982) was VERY active socially. We had dinners with other people probably at least twice a month. Between our congregation and two or three others in the same circuit there was a sizable group of young singles (all in our twenties) that hung together. We never got in trouble for it. Congregation picnics were a regular feature in the summer. I think the social life was one of the things that attracted me to the religion.
i'm sure that a top secret security clearance not very high up the chain of command would show a ton of information, .
i mean everything that happens on the internet and on computers i'm sure is assessable to the us intelligence community, why would the government not pass up an opportunity to spy on it's population and run all internet data through homeland security to protect it's interest both home and abroad, realistically thinking that is.. so with this in mind what would a highly classified report look like?

interesting development in russia... according to this article on youtube, it appears that children that are subjected to being involved in banned social or religious groups can be removed from their parents..
This is just wrong. I do not believe the government, any government, should have the power to take some one's children just because it doesn't like how they think, or what they believe.

I was always taught to say only good things about the dead. OK, he's dead. Good.
