It's funny that you say that, since those words have much more to do with nasa than the hebrew word נָשָׁא which according to
shouldn't be transliterated as nasa.

Appeal to authority? I've got two close relatives who worked for NASA on the missions you claim were faked, both of them confirming the official story and dedicating their lives to these missions and it's confirmation bias? Seriously, that's not just bizarre - it's insulting. You're calling my grandpa and my uncle liars because of some pseudoscience article and a YouTube video. They were there; you and the authors of those productions were not.JohnnyL wrote: ↑April 25th, 2017, 6:51 amNo, no one went to the moon. Too much evidence against it.

Guess what: we went to the moon. And we're probably going other places, too. And the earth is a globe. Without understanding these basic principles underlying the science of space exploration, nothing we've done would be possible.
I know it's fun to believe in some conspiracies, but this one and the globe one are really unproductive and damaging to your credibility.
However, that was a very nice use of appeal to authority that confirmed bias, and I have no idea what the "irony" post related to it, but it obviously worked on some people, so nice use of that, too.
Is this going to be the issue that merits sending a few more LDSFF members to the dreaded Outer Darkness section of this website?iWriteStuff wrote: ↑April 25th, 2017, 9:48 amAppeal to authority?

As per the Hebrew/Jew thing I mentioned - I am sensitive to claims of Jewish deception because it has become a prevalent right wing attack that stinks of bigotry. When people say things like "haha the Jews named this psy-op mission "NASA" as a clever means of stating their intent to deceive right in the acronym", it stinks of a bad mixture of anti-Semitism and ignorance. As I am descended from Jews in a direct line, I find this approach insulting as well.
How can you as a member of the church embrace anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that smear an entire race of people? This is the point where ignorance has crossed the line into bigotry.

Have you heard of the "Alt Right" movement?
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... -jews.htmlAlt-Right Leaders: We Aren’t Racist, We Just Hate Jews
The racist, anti-semitic, white power group called the ‘alt-right’ has been mainstreamed thanks to Breitbart and the Trump campaign. And they are loving the attention.
In a windowless room in a swanky hotel half a block from the White House on Friday afternoon, three of the most visible leaders of the alt-right movement held a two-hour press conference to discuss their affection for Donald Trump and their hopes for a white homeland. The white supremacist alt-right movement has grown over the last eight years or so, incubated in racist forums like StormFront and meme-loving corners of the internet like 4chan and 8chan. Its members generally share a disdain for political correctness, feminism, zionism, Jews in general, immigration (especially Hispanic and Muslim immigration), and anyone who criticizes them for holding these views.

You may have put your finger on a very permeating tool of the devil that hurts a coherent discussion.... Changing the meaning of words and terms.. Remember when Liberal meant'alt-right' or 'alternative right' is a name currently embraced by some white supremacists and white nationalists to refer to themselves and their ideology, which emphasizes preserving and protecting the white race in the United States in addition to, or over, other traditional conservative positions such as limited government, low taxes and strict law-and-order. The movement has been described as a mix of racism, white nationalism and populism, ... criticizes "multiculturalism" and more rights for non-whites, women, Jews, Muslims, gays, immigrants and other minorities. Its members reject the American democratic ideal that all should have equality under the law regardless of creed, gender, ethnic origin or race.[6][44]
now we have to say "Classic Liberalism, because the term Liberal has changed. I know that I winced throughout the last presidential political campaign, whenever Donald Trump referred to himself as "Conservative". He never even attempted to pursue conservative ideals. The thing he sold himself on was that as a "dictator" he would dictate better things for America, than Hillary would. To me a conservative believes in much the same as what used to be a classic Liberal.Classical liberalism is a political ideology and a branch of liberalism which advocates civil liberties and political freedom with representative democracy under the rule of law and emphasizes economic freedom.

Go ahead, show that "nasa" means "ours" in Italian. ;)

NASA actually means this in Hebrew-
Umm... it's a little hard to take that seriously knowing that the Chinese were using solid fuel rockets back in the 12th century. And it only gets worse knowing that, since American researchers had mostly ignored the work of Robert Goddard but German researchers took Goddard seriously, to jump start America's rocketry program a lot of former Nazi rocket scientists and engineers were brought to the US to work on liquid fuel rockets.buffalo_girl wrote: ↑April 25th, 2017, 1:49 pm I didn't see anything about Jack Parsons in this discussion. Now, there's the twisted genius who developed 'solid rocket fuel' upon which NASA was founded! Lot's of spooky stuff - including Aleister Crowley. Don't know anything about a Zionist conspiracy, though it could be on some level. Jack Parsons is the corker!

All,
Can we please stop this silliness? Right now there are 281 guests viewing this forum. If there are any non-members among them, I can only imagine what they think of us crazy Mormons now.

Why would non-members among the lurkers 'think us crazy'?
I'm willing to risk it.
I'm referring to, if you must know, the craziness of the flat earth false theories.JohnnyL wrote: ↑April 26th, 2017, 9:38 pmIt's easier to appeal to conformity, than appeal to... truth?buffalo_girl wrote: ↑April 26th, 2017, 5:44 pmAll,

oh! I guess I'm not familiar with that theory. I thought tall masts on ocean going sailing ships disproved that concept. Besides, when is the last time we heard about ships falling off the edge?
There are some places in Kansas, Iowa & North Dakota that might convince a person, but I haven't heard of any John Deere equipment being lost. I'm sure the JD Company would make a fuss since they seem to want to keep ownership of their BIG GREEN so farmers are perpetually paying leases rather than ever owning or even being able to do repairs themselves on their $100,000+ equipment.
