  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There is no cable supplying the signals. Otherwise there would be no need for satellite dishes aligned to the sky.

Exactly.

AI
Cable TV signals are transmitted through underground cables from a local network to a subscriber's home.

Dishes are thing of the past now.

So why do satellite signals come from the dish. I disconnect my dish the signals stop. And my dish is aligned to sky. No underground cable. And it’s free! I don’t pay any subscription to anybody for satellite tv.

Why can you not understand very basic information?

I know nothing about these things but I would have thought the clue was in the name - satellite TV, cable TV.
They are not the same.

Now who's mocking ?
Well I find it very hard to believe that you can’t understand simple basic information. You must be getting nonsense from somewhere.

I’ve explained to you repeatedly that satellite tv signals do not come from underground cables, but need a dish aligned toward the sky to receive them. Yet here you are again repeating the same claim.

It’s as if you’ve been programmed into believing nonsense despite the fact that it’s blatantly obvious nonsense.

Your husband must have had a good influence on you, because while he was alive, despite the disagreements you were a very likeable person.
You seem to have changed for the worse since his passing, as I'm finding very little to like about your current interactions in these threads. I too have lost loved ones, though not my wife, thank God, but I won't presume to try and give advice. Please do consider how the manner in which you are posting has changed and make an effort to get back to how you were. I'd like to be able to call you a friend despite our disagreements but cannot in good faith consider that with your current attitude.
God bless.

Because it's not a fact it is a made up story.



Yes I do as orbiting satellites are not up there.

Facts have changed in my world & for the better, I see things now as clear as day.

But just saying things like, "It is a made up story," and "Orbiting satellites are not up there" doesn't make them true. People here have given you evidence as to the existence of satellites, such as the dishes that receive the signals pointing at the sky, and asking you to say where you believe the signals come from to produce steady, constant television pictures if satellites don't exist. You have said various things, like through cables (in which case, what is the point of the satellite dishes o so many homes?), from balloons, which is a non-starter, because balloons move with the wind, and satellite dishes are fixed, the ionosphere, which cannot provide constant, reliable reception, and even through the post, and I'm still wondering how that would work. So come on, give us a credible idea of where the signals come from if there are no satellites.

Ever heard of cable TV ?
But we're not discussing cable TV. I only have straightforward TV reception though an aerial, but even I know that cable TV and satellite TV are different things.

and even through the post
I suspect she may have meant "post" as in "lamp post". in which case the word should be "mast" for an aerial. But the signals obviously do not come from aerial masts, otherwise it would be a simple matter of aligning the dish towards the nearest aerial mast, instead of towards the empty sky.

One of the theories about flat earthers is that their belief in a giant conspiracy controlling all of the information is more powerful than belief in scientific discoveries and explanations. (I’m not speaking about Applesky in particular.) The world is a mess, and doctors, scientists, and media have spread many lies, but the liars do not control everything. The World Government is not that powerful yet, and many good scientists and researchers are seeking truth, and many do it for the glory of God. God has “allowed” many bad things to happen, so it sometimes seems that He is not in control. One alternative idea is that somebody or group of somebodies are in control for malevolent purposes. However, the fact is that the world is in a partial state of chaos. One of God’s attributes is to make order out of chaos, but He hasn’t finished doing that yet.

Here is an interesting article about how much junk moon landings have left on the moon that can still be seen: Evidence left behind by the Apollo missions is still visible on the Moon

Yes I thought that might be what she meant, but her wording certainly made it seem that she was talking about the postman delivering the signals, especially as she (like me) s in the UK, where we tend to say "post" where Americans say "mail." She wrote in Post 827: "Like I said, either by underground or post, there are no satellites obiting the earth."

Yes, in Ireland we also say "post" for the mail. :thumbsup:

Have I really gotten so bad, I hadn't realized, I'm so sorry & will try to be on a more friendlier note.
I am truly sorry,
Please forgive me.

Blessings :praying:

Yes - It's one of those words that are spelt the same but have two different meanings.
Although 'Mast' is what I should have said.:)

Couldn't have all these photo's have been touched up ?
Of course the photos could be touched up, but I doubt that you could get at least 7 countries to agree and thousands of people working in space programs around the world to unanimously go along with it. From what little I understand about people, somebody would be a willing to come forward with proof of the retouched photos just for the fame.
