  • 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.

Because no one believes me when I do, many on here reckon they are either poetic or allegories.
That's because they are! At least most of the ones you keep quoting!

But instead of considering the points made to you, reading the verses in context, studying God's Word in depth and reading commentaries to help, all you do is dismiss it all and carry on regardless!

So why do you keep changing the subject? I would like you to answer how I’m receiving signals for my satellite tv box if there are no satellites? And bear in mind I know a lot more than you about it!

Bottom line, there are satellites, the earth is a globe, there is 24hour sun in Antarctica during the summer months there, sundials do need correction over a year, compasses do need to be adjusted for declination, the earth’s magnetic field is vertical at north and south poles because the earth is a globe, Mercator did not go to the North Pole, there is no magnetic black rock there, Bible verses do not indicate either directly or indirectly that the earth is flat and stationary, Christian astronauts are not lying when they say they have seen the globe earth with their own eyes and have landed on the moon…..etc etc etc etc!

These are just some of the topics that you keep avoiding answering properly. Once you find you can’t answer you deflect to another topic trying to lead away from your own ignorance on them.

So once again, how am I receiving signals for my satellite box if there are no satellites?

I have no idea what David mean't by 'satellites do not look like balloons' everyone knows that satellites do not look like balloons, maybe David could explain.
Well, you had posted something which sounded as though you believed that all satellites are balloons. That's why are said that atellites do not look like balloons.

Yes he said 'Satellites don't even look like balloons.' Well everyone knows what a satellite looks like, don't they ? I think David must have misunderstood what I said.
I am not sure what else "satellites are weather balloons" could mean, if they don't mean that you believe satellites to be balloons.

Like I said, either by underground or post, there are no satellites obiting the earth.

Bottom line, there are satellites, the earth is a globe,

We have satellites dishes but in no way do we receive signals from above & no the earth is not a globe.

there is 24hour sun in Antarctica during the summer months there

Debatable, etc etc ect etc.

I admit there are thing which I have no answer for, I don't know everything, well not yet.

By post? The time Royal Mail take to deliver letters, I don't think so. :)

So what is the point of satellite dishes if the signal comes through cables?

What was mean't, was that satellites are attached to balloons that float around earth. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

But you are still not thinking things through. Underground makes no sense because the dish is pointing skyward, not at the ground. There are no cables connected to my box other than a mains cable and a cable carrying signals from the dish.

There is no post transmitting signals to my dish because it would have to be very high and easily seen.

Your ignorance on this topic is exposed. What you’re saying to me is pure nonsense. And I know for certain it’s nonsense because I have installed satellite tv systems.

That's clearer now, but by no means are all satellites attached to balloons. Why the one in your picture was, I have no idea. Anyway, thank you for explaining what you meant.

There’s none of them in the direction my dish points. My dish is aligned to a point in the sky where there is nothing.

If memory serves, you make marionettes. So if I was to say to you that all you need to make a marionette is to stick a bit of spaghetti on a thread, you would tell me I’m talking nonsense, or words to that effect.

Well that’s how your posts sound to me when you keep throwing out comments like this when I know full well it’s nonsense!

Because satellites are attached to balloons that float around the earth & the one in the image showed that one of these satellites had crashed still attached to the balloon, proving this.

Well you should know better then.
So you, who hasn’t the first clue about installing a satellite tv system, are telling me that you know better than me when I have installed them and aligned my dish to what? A nonexistent post with dishes? A nonexistent underground cable? A balloon that floats around meaning I have to keep changing dish alignment every second?

Sheer nonsense!
Because satellites are attached to balloons that float around the earth & the one in the image showed that one of these satellites had crashed still attached to the balloon, proving this.
Stop talking utter nonsense! The proof that the signals do not come from a balloon is the fact that satellite dishes are fixed and aligned accurately and that alignment lasts for years!

What about the others you install ?

Well if it can dance around - Yes ^_^

What about them? They are also fixed in place and aligned towards a point in the sky where there is nothing to be seen. You think mine is the only one that needs such alignment? :doh:

What if I said that hammering a nail into a table is a marionette? Or that the chimney on my house is a marionette?

This is how silly you sound to me when trying to tell me you know more than me about satellite tv!
