Staying in physically for all the benefits

by Indoubtbigtime in

i wonder how many are like me staying pimo for the great association and gathering etc.

also find it very interesting having a front row seat watching the collapse of borg.. im not wasting any more time or money on anything i don’t want to do like preaching and mostly just go on zoom .

there is nothing i want to do that would be considered disfellowshiping sin, i’m married and want to live by bible principles but i have serious doubts that the gb were chosen by god and are his one and only spokesmen on earth.

My advice to you (And I mean this in the kindest possible way) is to get out of the JW's ASAP; find something you're passionate about and go back to school.

I'll post a written transcript of exactly what was said if you want, but you might want to actually check your sources. You might want to listen to the conversations yourself. You might want to take a look at the animations that Aldrin was talking about. They looked like something from Gerry and Slyvia Anderson, to be honest.

It will save you some embarrassment.

I have to disagree. The internet gives us an endless stream of information....

I'm puzzled by the comment as well.

The various interviews with Buzz Aldrin can all be tracked down and viewed in their entirety. (i.e. The May 17, 2000 interview with Conan O'Brien; the March 13, 2015 Q&A at the Oxford Union and the September 5, 2015 National Book Fair interview where he spoke with the eight-year-old girl, Zoey.)

It's clear in context, that the Facebook and Instagram claims about these interviews are misleading at best and outright lies at worst.

Who's doing their due diligence here? Who is not verifying their sources first?

So the defense of one conspiracy theory (i.e. That the Apollo lunar landings didn't happen) is to invoke another conspiracy theory? (i.e. That the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is also fake)

I'd point out that the LRO actually has taken earthrise pictures, (using both its cameras) but I'm pretty sure at this point, that the answer would be more conspiracy theory.

Incredulity is not evidence.

A full blown, four year degree in Scuba Diving???? (As opposed to a certification)

Neil Armstrong's bachelor's was in Aeronautical Engineering. Buzz Aldrin, (Who actually was a Mason) held a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and a doctorate in Aeronautics. Michael Collins' bachelor's was in Military Science.

So I gotta ask...

Is this LRO image (And others like it) faked?

Is Russia Bluffing?

by Fisherman in

“supplies of offensive weapons to the kyiv regime would lead to a global catastrophe,” state duma chairman vyacheslav volodin said.

“if washington and nato supply weapons that would be used for striking peaceful cities and making attempts to seize our territory as they threaten to do, it would trigger a retaliation with more powerful weapons.”.

what is russia implying?

TD

Russian state television openly laments the fact that the world no longer fears them.

Their equipment is mostly junk. Their soldiers are untrained and poorly supplied. The body armor Russia was touting a few years ago turned out to be hardened cardboard. They are still using the same tactics that NATO is equipped and trained to defeat, despite the spectacular failure of those tactics in the Gulf War. They are still dependent upon the west for critical components for all their weapons systems. Russia's MBT losses are approaching the half-way point, which is astounding. The SU-35's targeting pod has been dissected and decoded by both the U.S. and Britain, which is why they don't dare bring SU-57's into the theater for fear the same thing will happen.

What else does Putin have, except the nuclear threat?

DID YOU KNOW - about Event 201? (Two months before the virus outbreak a simulation/discussion among the elite)

(event 201).

“event 201” was an exercise organized in october 2019 to simulate what might happen if there was a severe pandemic.. it invited people from business, government, and public health to simulate coordinating a policy response to a theoretical pandemic.. .

what was the event?.

TD

Ironically it was probably an attempt to be prepared in advance for such an epidemic that caused it.

Wouldn't surprise me, actually.

There was a 2020 paper that observed elements of the spike appeared to be "chimeric"

These were real virologists, and not retired insurance salesmen claiming to be "experts" on YouTube

What I am doing is trying to see if other people are saying SOMETHING.

Okay.

I'll put in my two cents then

Here is a 2003 article, identifying SARS as a corona variant:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12781537/

Here is a 2004 paper documenting the emergence of the SARS variant(s) and estimating the (high) mutation rate:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC516801/

The 2003 SARS outbreak peaked within 6 weeks, but the handwriting was on the wall at this point:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK92444/

Here is a 2004 CDC alert prohibiting the importation of known (at the time) animal vectors of SARS (Civets, Genets, etc.)

https://www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/civets.html

Here is a recent discussion of SARS, MERS, Covid19 and the amount of advance warning we actually had:

Terry,

You're aware that the 2002 SARS outbreak in China was coronavirus?

You're aware that the 2012 MERS outbreak in the Middle East was also coronavirus?

You're aware that we had nearly two decades advance warning that virulent strains of this virus were emerging?

Is it your contention that attempts to prepare for the inevitable are evidence of conspiracy?
