Explorer pls answer me this, THE MOON LANDING has bin proven to be false on every stage, with the flag waving in the absence of atmosphere to the placement of the shadow of object considering the sun is the only light source, how come no country, especially Russia and China never publicly made this claim, was the whole moon mission a global conspiracy or was what the world watch not the actual footage, is there something they aren't telling us, do u share this conviction?

I cant really say bro, because ive seen the website that claims the moon landing is false/hoax. Like a movie produced in a studio.

DerKlassiker:

Bellfun:
Not "maybe"!

With all our scientific breakthroughs and technological development...we are yet to know almost anything about what exists inside earth's oceans!

And there are billions of planets out there! Though they may not look like us...but they're out there!


The United States govt knows alot about it...but for the sake of world orderliness(and religions too).. they kept it under wrap....

Hmmm. Maybe some people are looking for us too.

Nice one.

Exactly, how then do they qualify as incorruptible when they are infact waxed and replicated? Because by incorruptible my understanding is rigor mortis and decomposition more especially, to mention few wont occur. Your body remains as that of a sleeping individual.

We've been deceived for far too long, I don tire.



Help me out here. Explain to me your incorruptible, then maybe I will believe they really are.

I almost created another thread this morning after this, but when i double checked, i some site claiming they are not real, hoax, replica and stuffs like that. Though some of them have wax really.

So i just decided not to because not that sure and bring lots of arguments or insults like we're seeing now.

I dont know why our people cant just prove their points without using words on each other.

Wanted to lift from these sites.

O! Well, somebody should call me that boy, lalasticlala to move this to the "front page" asap. I need more comments.

Lol...Bro we expecting you here.

jagugu88li:
I've heard of incorruptible saints before and the only difference between this girl and them is that the girl has been waxed, whereas these incorruptible are naturally preserved (which is still confusing for me). They are all said to be Catholics.

This reminds of them. I believe non of it unfortunately.

Some are waxed also like John Bosco, but i saw it this morning now that some of them are just replica.

dblackninja:
It means to cease. That is, stop.

To me, desist from is like i should stop doing what im used to...

You could have used the statement "Dont disseminate false information" instead of "Desist from".

Desist from also means Abstain.

LieDetector:
Explorers, where's the YouTube link?

dblackninja:
Most people are gullible, especially the religious. Such information will only impact negatively in their lives & attitudes, all in a bid to please a creator.

If you really meant it..then a BIG THANK YOU!

K. But sir, can you define the word DESIST?

Elkay3:
We chose to believe what suits us...beht, lemme watch d rising dead n den comments...



OK, done. Whenever I'm watching a reality clip and there's a shift or cut or blur before a main "thing" happen, I discard it as a clip by someone who has no means to proper editting equipment.
Don't blame those who believe or those who don't, I think ultimately, it's about giving life to a legend or myth. You know how much they will now make from the incoming tourists? Business ideas!

That video editing is very possible though. Actually ive been seeing and ignoring the story since yesterday, like its impossible. Till i saw it on mirror this morning.
That cathedral will be recognized globally now.

Oops...it's Fake.

Maybe, both references even said "Many viewers have called it out as a FAKE but those who are more religiously inclined believe it may be a SIGN.

"Video of the corpse, who is dressed in a white ceremonial gown, has since been viewed over 800,000 times on YouTube with viewers divided on whether PARANORMAL ACTIVITY is at work or the incident is a HOAX"

Thanks for the contributions bro...

dblackninja:
What the hell!!! I need to stop wasting data in these kind of videos
I know some people have bought in to this facade. It wasn't even faked well. Many people will be fasting & praying in some part of the world because of this.

Op desist from disseminating false information. I bet all these people commenting above didn't notice the blurry before the eyes opened & also before it closed

Ok sir, i will Desist like you said, i will stop deceiving the public.

olumaxi:
Why havent u buried the girl if not for ulterior motives?......evil spirit ti take over

Nothing like ulterior motives....They kept her because she died for Christ, they preserved the bodies of those people/priests that lived this kind of extraordinary saint life centuries back.

There are many of them.

Ask4Info:
[b]I AM SORRY BUT I THINK MAJORITY OF NIGERIANS DESERVE SUCH TREATMENT.

WHEN YOU ALL SHOULD ALL COME TOGETHER AND UNITE AND FIGHT THE COMMON ENEMY YOU PEOPLE LOOK FOR THE SLIGHTEST OPPORTUNITY TO CURSE EACH OTHERS TRIBE AND RELIGION. AS IF YOUR ETHNIC BACKGROUND AND RELIGION IS THE REASON WHILE THE OTHER MAN ISN'T PROGRESSING.

TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR MATES IN EGYPT, USA, FRANCE, PAKISTAN AND EVERY OTHER SANE COUNTRY. AS SOON AS THERE IS A MALTREATMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT ON A CITIZEN, WITHIN 24 HOURS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL TAKE TO THE STREETS FOR SOLIDARITY. IN NIGERIA THE CASE IS THE REVERSE.

AFTER THE MASSIVE CORRUPTION DISCOVERED IN THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, WHO WILL BELIEVE THOSE ANIMALS WILL STILL BE IN THAT BUILDING. A PLACE WHERE THE YOUTHS SHOULD HAVE LONGED OCCUPIED AND CHASED THEM AWAY.


SOME POVERTY STRICKEN INDIVIDUALS ARE STILL SUPPORTING PATIENCE JONATHAN CLAIMING OWNERSHIP OF THE $20M DOLLARS.


INSTANGRAM, FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND NAIRALAND WON'T HELP. YOU ALL SHOULD STOP BEING CHICKENS AND GO OUT THERE TO FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS.[/b]

One of the best comment ever on this forum.

Thank God they are not Blacks

They would have referred to them as 'Apes'.

Some humans are just so heartless and wicked. People kill/slaughter themselves everywhere in the world, but most are covered.

Even in the most Peaceful/Friendly countries of the world, we have Murderers, Serial killers, Armed robbers, Drug pushers/addicts, Rapists, Fraudsters and so on.

In some countries, almost all the citizens are tagged terrorists/suicide bomber. But they're some in these countries that won't hurt a rat.

The body of Santa Inocencia has been preserved in wax and behind glass at the Cathedral of Guadalajara, in Mexico, for 300 years.


Legend has it that the girl wanted to take her First Communion with her fellow classmates, but her father blocked her from doing so.

However, the nuns in her school decided to include her in the ceremony, something which would make the whole tale end in tragedy.

Her dad eventually found out that she had did it behind her backand proceeded to stab her to death.

The local people than took her body and she was returned to the cathedral to lay her to rest so she could be come a symbol of a girl’s deep love from Christ.
