"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"
by Terry ini always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

You didn't hurt them. The organization's own policies did. -

Ever wondered
by NoIdeaWhatToBelieve ini was very hooked on the rc videos, really interesting to watch.
i started questioning stuff a couple of months ago.. however there is still a scenario that makes me wonder.
considering the israelites as god's chosen people and the kings as anointed, the bible shows many bad decisions the people made, including the rulers that were anointed.

That is why when I started researching I considered that if what I believe is true, nothing can shake that, research would just convince me even more. However I found reasons to doubt and question even those things I once firmly believed and wholeheartedly defended in front of many of my non-JW friends/colleagues.
You are on the right path.
At a certain point, you're going to have to be okay with not knowing all of the answers to life's big questions. The organization tells us that all the existential questions we come up with have answers in their teachings. Unfortunately, this means that if you find out there are flaws in their teachings, you can have some really upsetting and panicky thoughts.
I remember a switch flipping where I was okay with having some questions unanswered.
When you get to that point, it's easier to examine evidence objectively.

Won't get fooled again ...Moon Landing.
by The Rebel inso i was fooled by the witnesses.
what can i learn from that?
not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

This idea to me is absurd, especially to call it common sense
You're right. The idea that it was easier to land on the moon than to fake it isn't common sense. But it's true.
In the context of the time, rocket technology was far far ahead of film technology. It was technologically impossible to fake the moon landing in 1969. But it was technologically possible to land on the moon. Armed with just that knowledge alone, you can make the logical conclusion that the moon landing wasn't fake.
Now, the only reason this conclusion doesn't qualify as common sense is because the technology disparity isn't common knowledge.
In the context of technology today, it would be easier to fake the moon landing. But we aren't talking about today. We're talking about 1969.

Wow, that's an utterly douchy jackass thing to say.
Viv: granted, it was really only the last half of the last sentence that contained any jackassery.
But I only feel that way because I'm sensitive to the subject of suicide. If I had never experienced anything first hand related to suicide, it may not have bothered me as much as it did.

I'm just gonna leave this here.
This explains why it was technologically impossible to fake the moon landing in 1969.

Viviane where do you suggest I start my research?
Start with Wikipedia and examine all the citations. They have a whole article dedicated to the Moon landing conspiracies

Depends on which part of Texas. Austin is awesome
Well, we're near Austin, but still a very conservative area.
Rick Perry affectionately calls the politics in Austin the blueberry in the tomato soup.
