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.

The rotating gyros should not respond in orientation to the rotating earth below, or the rotation of the station, if it synchronized with it's orbit every ~90 minutes, and shows the same side to the earth all the time as does the moon. Rotating objects keep their orientation in orbit, see Uranus' barrel orbit.

JWorg television showed the Earth background rotating clockwise at one time, but that was as seen from the space station, that orbits the in same direction than the earth rotates , but ~16 times faster.

liked the nutation of the video gyroscopes, the spinning Earth wobbles too, ~every Jubilee cycle. F.Franz would be pleased.

wish somebody would link them here.

There was a senator send up, he took a Yo Yo along. I suspect it was to try to pull himself along the corridors by using it as recoilless drive, prime mover. Reactionless drive the next impossible thing to a perpetual motion machine. gyros are amazing, motorcycles running for kilometers without ridere. tops not toppling.

friends

most hard to swallow meat and fish (that i was aware of) that i have ever eaten is rabbit, but also deer, octopus and eel sushi.. how about your meat eatings?

what have you eaten that is interesting?.

waton

goat is better than mutton, may be that is why Abel put lamb meat on the altar, to get rid of it. ( along wait to be allowed delicious goat though, after the flood).

Had dog in my mouth, could not get myself to chew and swallow it, (prejudice against MBF special )= man's best friend special. had belgium done Horse, good. how is bat?

1975 to 2075 a family story.

by waton in

a fictional, composite tale of many true elements from a city called bostronno.

a young family man from a devout jw family was swept away in the late 60s by the enthusiasm to be in paradise by 1975. it all started at a book study with some very sincere and serious bible study members.

he turned his branch of the prosperous family business over to his brothers, and searched for a place to serve the rest of the old system's time out- in comfort and where the need was great.

. I know the account said “fish” but the ancients didn’t separate aquatic mammals from fish back then. ACTFheuser:

The born JWs in the stories, like Brother unplanned, as innocents, never thought children stories were to be questioned as being not TRUTH. These tall tales are supernatural

A man (preferably Gagarin's size) could be made to survive in a living aquatic animal for 4 days, by putting him in a acid proof suit, with air supply hoses in a Marine World basin. it might kill the creature though. psychologically damage gagarin2 the stomachnaut.

The anointed idea is supernatural, the overlapping 2=1, infinite=1 is meta math. supernatural

there is no greater feeling (almost) than being supernatural, while it lasts.---then..

BlueBrother, right, and few realise that this waiting for heaven or PPP can drag on until 2075 ? actually thinking in terms of ages involved? and in effect realising that it might never come, the wt has it outlined? because who has ever taken 2 generation=1 seriously?

Flat earth vs round earth

by Jrjw in

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?.

waton

Pyramid?
Doughnut?
Conical?
Square?
Polygonal?
I'm feeling a definite lack of imagination here from the anti-oblate spherists among us. jp1692:

A 4 cornered Earth need not be a square, but can be a pyramid with a triangular base, but that would spoil the fun of the 2D no volume, no substance deflated earth earthers.

Did man really go to the moon?

by atomant in

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

waton

In a few days, leaving from the same general space port that the men left from for the moon, the biggest rocket cluster will launch an electric car into a long Mars orbit. first try.

That launch noise will shatter the teeth of a few JWs that still live there, actually worked on the moon program.

Acluetofindtheuser: What if you don't partake of the memorial emblems but God's spirit has chosen you to be one of the 144,000? Do you get disqualified for not partaking or does he make an exception because of the mass confusion?

I suggest you start a topic on that. but

there are at least 118 cases of people that were anointed, without beforehand having taking the emblems, including Cornelius.

Rev 7, speaks about 144k being sealed, not partaking. a huge difference. The angels are in conversation, no mention that they reveal the identity of the sealed ones.

Partaking or not might be the biggest issue all witnesses have struggled with, as our hero above, Br. unplanned . and you and I.

Leave the solution to that question to those that can do something about it, and that probably would not be the G.O.D. (guardians of doctrine) appointed in 1919.

ACTFTU: your reference to Jonah, puts an interesting spin on your questions, for the account is clearly fictional, requiring the violation of nature's laws. But Jonah was conned into proclaiming a message that was meaningless, without teeths, a false prophecy. A set up for his being used , discredited, and kicked to the curb so to speak. His initial refusal seem to have been the right move.

It is but a story, even if Jesus endorsed it. so:

Nice of you being sincere, but with that understanding, what to make of these "what if" questions?

wt is wrong to limit the partaking to the already anointed. The new covenant is a mere prelude, the induction into spiritual Israel, the 12 tribes, having their "sins" forgiven, out of which the 144k are sealed , anonymously. to rule with Christ (if true)

If there is a creator, with even a smitchens of what the bible indicates about him, any of our invented stories, will pale in to nothing, compared what the future experience would be like (if any). Accepting or not the dictates of a provenly wrong "church" would matter little imho. Your doubting might earn you points of approval. How could you rule the cosmos if you are gullible?

If in doubt, follow your conscience and plead sincerity.

Curiosity

by Jrjw in

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?

You can always use Old Light doctrinal facts, if related to the paragraph's theme, and point out "--how blessed we are now to understand better, and looking into the future how even better and brighter light will be provided through the appointed channel. Giving proof of spirit guidance we can trust--" and on and on.
