  Bizarre image that puzzles me -- any tips?

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  i am a sometimes weather buff and enjoy the various services our national weather service provides.. interestingly, a few days ago (7/26/19 at 6:20 a.m. to be exact) i was looking at our arkansas statewide weather radar image during breakfast.

  on that image, something appeared bizarre so i decided to do a screen capture on my samsung tablet.. today, i am still puzzled so i decided to share it with others in the hope that someone may offer solutions to the puzzle.

  just below, is that captured (and unretouched) image.

  In my JW days I'd be inclined to blame this (and most anything else I couldn't explain) on demon activity. Nowadays watching the History channel's Unexplained, a disc-like object could be a candidate.

  However, I received an email response from the National Weather Service. He says:
  

  'That "ring" is produced by birds taking flight from overnight rest. This link will help...'

  Frankly, some of your answers make a bit more sense.
  

  Acluetofindtheuser had already found the NWS stock answer but he added "Your image seems to be too large for it to be birds".
  

  I tend to agree, Aclue. Besides, a flying saucer is probably more appealing to the masses.

  Reddit Post: Watchtower Appeals to Supreme Court

  by APieceOfShitNamedTate in

  from john redwood.... a preview of upcoming news:.

  jehovah's witnesses are appealing to the supreme court of the united states, but this time it has nothing to do with preaching or saluting the flag.. it's all about child abuse.. specifically, the protection (or cover-up) of information, documents, and testimony of persons involved in cases of child abuse.. i will be covering this story in the coming weeks and months, but i thought i would share some of this news and try to distill it down as simply as i can.. i'd like to point out first that watchower has appealed to the supreme court in connection with their loss of yet another california child abuse case.

  the chance that watchtower's appeal being will be heard by the supreme court is slim, but anything is possible.. what brought this about?.

  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  2. beliefs

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  Let's make this case perfectly sPlane -- Matt 24:34 had a clear omission, a word that was available in those days, overlapping.

  It should have said, "this overlapping generation will not pass away until all these things take place."

  An obvious blunder on the part of Matthew in the taking of Jesus' dictation -- or Jesus, in dictating. But we certainly can't blame Jesus, now can we? That would be blasphemy.

  It's interesting that 1914 is alive and well noting "Flight JW1914".

  Perhaps the online article, "The 24 Prophetic Failures of Watchtower’s Most Heralded Date, 1914" will wake a few up.

  Faithful and Prudent slave? read somewhere that the discreet was going to change to Prudent.

  by goingthruthemotions in

  read on one of the forums, and maybe this one that the gb are going to start calling themselves the faithful and prudent slave.

  my pimi brainwashed wife wouldn't bat an eyelash if they started calling themselves this.

  to her it would be new light and they could do nothing wrong.. but, how the not so brainwashed flock take this change?

  From https://confusedwords.org/discreet-vs-discrete/

  DISCREET vs DISCRETE

  Discreet or Discrete? How to Use Discreet vs Discrete Correctly?

  These two words are homophones, which means they sound completely alike but have different meanings and spellings.

  DISCREET Definition and Examples

  Discreet is an adjective.

  It means careful or showing good judgment in what one says or does; not too devious.

  DISCREET Examples:

  He is very discreet in giving his opinions.

  He took her hand with discreet gentility.

  She followed them at a discreet distance.

  He was always very discreet about his love affairs.

  It was not very discreet of you to ring up at the office.

  The chauffeur gave a discreet cough.

  DISCRETE Definition and Examples

  Discrete is also an adjective.

  It means something is distinct and separate or has a clear independent shape or form.

  DISCRETE Examples:

  The change happens in a series of discrete steps.

  We receive our inheritance in discrete particles.

  The function is to draw samples from an arbitrary discrete distribution.

  The pizza came as eight discrete slices.

  The picture consists of a lot of discrete spots of color.

  These small companies now have their own discrete identity.

  By the way, "discrete" is used less than a handful of times in the past 70 years (see WT library) and they seem to be used correctly.
