  Talking Janet Jackson and Religious Freedom with the Wife

  by OnTheWayOut in

  my recent sidewalk discussion with a couple of jw's has gotten me in the mood to say more when appropriate.so the wife and i were riding in the car and cat stevens comes on.

  i mentioned to her that cat stevens left music when he was still popular and converted to islam back in the 1970's- how he was told that his music would have to be morally acceptable and he found it easier to just abandon making new music for at least 20 years.

  so i didn't really remember all the details and i figured the conversation would die.

  Good job, you gave her the gift that keeps on giving, like the other comments noted.

  Spacy question - ISS and gyros - what u think?

  by MrRoboto in

  lots of spacy questions lately so i'll add mine here.

  theres a video of one of the guys on the international space station doing some experiments with a few portable cd players, using them as gyroscopes when turned on.

  it was interesting to see.

  Whatshallicallmyself thats interesting. does this mean that the ISS doesnt orbit the earth but rather the earth is spinning beneath it? sounds fair but the iss is supposed to be moving much faster than earth. or does it move just about 700mph in opposition to the earths rotation, causing an relative speed of about 1700 mph? in that case, i would think the hypothetical gyro-box would wind up stuck to the walls and move around a bit as it resists the change in inertia/direction.

  too bad theres no way to test it here, id like to see that.

  for the request for links, i consider that a little lazy since i gave an exact saerch term but here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p5rKDhmu37I

  The question is this: given the high speed and curved path of the ISS, what should we expect to see happen with an object that has active gyros in all 3 dimensions if we were to observe for 1 minute or more?

  Personally, i would have added one more on a diagonal plane to cover all the bases but that wasnt their setup.

  Did man really go to the moon?

  l have researched this subject and come to the conclusion that no we didn't.what do others think?.

  from what i have seen flat earthers have various oppinions on the various facets of the lights in the sky (sun/moon/stars/planets) so they dont all have the same beliefs.

  for the moon landing, there is not one person here that is qualified to state that it did or did not happen, out of personal 1st hand knowledge, we can only go with our personal understanding of and willingness to believe the evidence.

  on a side note, Russia, who never claimed to land men on the moon, also has a lunar reflector. without having to put a man there. so refelctors are not proof, evidence maybe but weak evidence then, unless we are willing to say Russia is covering up their own moon men. Are we saying that now? is that a thing moon landing proponents are advocating?

  what i find funny, hillarious really, is that the apollo astronots couldnt remember whether space was soo dark or soo bright with stars.

  its too bad those pics from luna didnt show the milkyway. you can see it from earth, i really would have liked to see it from the moons POV. but maybe its because those cameras were not made to be used in a harsh environment like space, thats straight from the manufacurers mouth but maybe thats why they didnt pick up stars and galaxies and why the shadows are at funny angles sometimes.

  Oh and recent videos from our NASA friends have stated that they are still trying to figure out how to safely get through the van allen belt, and that once they figure that out, the can go further out into space like to the moon and beyond. damn all this doublespeak, feels like the Watchtower has taught the govs to speak just like them.

  for those who would say "prove it" to the statement above, do i really have to hand those things to you on a silver platter? its so easy to find, if i have to hand it to you, you are being intellectually lazy.

  The Use of Hyperboles.

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have often wondered if jesus deliberately used hyperboles to obscure his meaning.

  i can say to my wife that i will love her until the moon is no more.

  she well knows that i will love her forever, not simply until earth's nearest satellite crumbles into dust.

  Obfuscation would seem to run contrary to the stated goal of repentance & salvation.

  Keep in mind too that the "system of things" was not in the bible, it's these types of bastardizations translations that make it harder to understand what's really being said.

  Also, the bible said that the message was already preached in all creation, in all the world. Oops.

  Either the end already came, or....

  Apparently it was simply "ignition" by Schmitt. But conspiracy buffs know that the real last words were "are you sure we can't tell anyone about all these pillars we found on the dark side? They seem kinda important"

  Flat earth, round earth.. Neither actually prove it disprove a creator. Evidence.. data.. is in the eye of the beholder.

  A flat earth could just as easily "prove" that we've been stolen from our home world and placed on a giant flat asteroid as some sort of science project. For some reason, flat earthers don't seem to have ever considered that. But a F.E. could be the result of any number of things that have never even been imagined. Same for R.E.

  Evidence is not proof. Evidence is observations that you put in your file to build a case of what you think happened. Take a criminal for example. There is no proof in most cases, only evidence. Some of which may have been falsified or even wrongly interpreted. When that happens, an innocent person may be in the hook for a crime they didn't commit. In other words,a false conclusion may be made based on bad evidence or misunderstanding the evidence or bias on the part of the judge/jury. Or they may incidentally make the correct decision despite the evidence. But since there is no proof, there is no Absolute Truth that they will ever know about the case, even though they will feel like they have it, but that is emotion, ego and bias. The convicted may know he's innocent but he cannot prove it, only present evidence of the truth.

  I'm really only talking about things that happened in the past, such as a crime or a creator having created earth. The shape of an object is easily provable if you can get far enough away from it and see it for yourself from multiple angles (all sides, as it were)

  Of course you can't prove what you saw to someone else but you can present evidence like pictures. Or take them with you and show them yourself.

  Self experience is the only proof, everything else is just conjecture.

  Even self experience can be drawn into question though, for example, were you tripping when you saw those aliens? If so, you may want to examine the cause of your experience.

  Atomant that's not true, they have lots of true videos of earth, under water, with bubbles and astronots and such. Sometimes you can even see their breathing hoses, it's actually white comical but also sad.

  i was just sitting daydreaming about answering up during a watchtower and exposing one of the lies the wts has stated in the study material and wondering what the reaction would be 😊 has anyone ever done this on their way out?
