my brother has been talking about the earth being flat and some big conspiracy going on to make people beieve otherwise.
what are people's thoughts on this?.
I do not claim to be an expert in cosmology.
That's obvious.
CNN is part of the establishment.
CNN??
You think CNN is an authority on cosmology? Do you have the slightest clue how science works?
Do you understand peer-review? Do you know how wealthy and famous an astronomer would become if he could provide a shred of evidence for a flat earth that could stand up to scrutiny?
What do you think the establishment it?
That question isn't in English.

many things asserted as truth by the establishment does not hold up under closer scrutiny
But conventional cosmology does.
What is "the establishment" exactly?
Nothing is "asserted" in science. You are confusing science with YouTube. Science depends on peer-review. It's brutal!

I have looked seriously at the so-called evidence for flat earth conspiracies and moon-landing conspiracies and many of the other ones.
They are all crap.
I just have too much self-respect to lower myself to debate them. There is no debate to be had. To believe them depends on a level of wilful ignorance that deserves ridicule.
I have learned a wise person look...
hahahahaha

Some challenges to accepted science deserve to be met with reason and evidence. I have personally committed countless hours to debating evolution on this forum over the years. Others have presented the evidence for climate change. It is time and effort well spent even if it only helps observers.
Flat earth nonsense is not worthy of any response other than ridicule.

To assume that it was done by humans seems highly unlikely. - Old Navy
Highly more likely than positing aliens.
It's amazing what can be achieved with unlimited cheap labour. Peasants literally moved mountains by hand in Mao's China. Millions died but what did he care?
this is my first post, i will introduce myself later.
first of all, i must say that english is not my mother tongue (i'm spanish), so excuse me if i make any mistake.. do you think that some people simply can't cope with being outside the jws?
some of them are too worldlyphobic to be around non-jws, too dependent on a fixed set of rules in order to carry on with their lives, too dependent on the hope of paradise and resurrection, too unable to leave their personal comfort zone within the organization.
Ditto the above.
My parents are in their 80s and been JWs since their 20s. I hope they die in blissful ignorance expecting to wake up in paradise.

10 bucks say cofty is a former elder - Captain child
I have been here many years and never made a secret of the fact I was an elder. I was an excellent elder. Knowledgeable, self-sacrificing, kind and compassionate.
My many, many science threads speak for themselves. You have been here a few days made over 60 posts, behaved like an attention-seeking spoiled brat and contributed zero.

Let's all remember, before we left JWs we were SURE we had 'the truth' and nobody was going to ever say otherwise.... - Kairos
Not true.
I always said to anybody who challenged my beliefs that if they could provide evidence that I was wrong I would change my beliefs. As soon as I worked out the cult was wrong I left - despite huge personal cost.
You are peddling total nonsense based on fear, paranoia and ignorance. Then like all conspiracy nutters you get aggressive when intelligent people tell you why you are wrong.
Robot - slow down and try to stop ranting and raving.

elders are experts...
No they are not. I have known hundreds. Most of them were as dumb as a box of rocks.
Fact is if NASA lies about satellite images
That's a lie.
Use your critical faculties
The irony!
