So first time here wanted to ask some questions about water. Its in everything living . It has a memory . Is affected by emotions. Remember the old experiments with playing music and taking nice to your plants and negative things stunt its growth same with pepole . Water is still a mystery we know little about . It is a conducter in a way so energy could be past through it . Its affected by sound. There is plenty to add but my idea and questions is more about my idea of a water church not a church exactly more like a gathering of pepole who want to heal and cleanse away some sins talk about water and how important it is try to get more pepole aware of it so they will think more positive and many we could fix a few problems
I recognise and understand all the words, just not in the sequence you have used them?
Religion, gotcha, water ok, now what's this all about?
Ever hear of cymatics ? I just watched this the other day. https://youtu.be/Q3oItpVa9fs

Interesting video. Nothing new. Sound is a vibration and can effect matter.
So sound can affect matter then why not water . I think modais may be right with a few things . I can tell he is stonned and cant spell but that dont mean he is wrong

You know water IS matter, right?

I could care less about him being high. What makes me highly suspicious is his statement contradicts perhaps 400 years of observations; and yet he has no new observations. Of course that doesn't prove he is wrong, but it makes me confident he is. Confident enough that I'd bet everything I own V.S. 1 penny that he is wrong; because that is just a free penny!
Hey there, SweetPayne. Welcome to the AR. That giraffe/lion pic is hilarious. Gave me a good laugh to start my day. Thanks. LOL
Edit to add: Pretty cool video.
Water is a rather marvelous substance, but its properties fall squarely within the laws of chemistry (at a higher level) and physics (at a more fundamental level). Anything else is subjective. We have to go on what we actually know (or likely know) rather than on what might be true in some line of wishful thinking.
What about water and religion?
woo woo....oh, wait...wooooo.
It makes me rust.
it makes me slippery...
It makes me have to pee a lot.
@ TM
I've told you before, say "oxidise" it makes you sound much cleverererer. Rust is so common.
@Old Man
O, ya. Yer write. Sarree I for got. Ain't won'ting nobody beleaven me are dum. Neckstime I use Oxie-dice. Yew ar gud pal, Old Man.
(Shit. It's actually difficult to type like that.)
@ TM
Well done Mar-lon..now back to the pig pen and lick it out proper like I showed you.
So if i was to set up a water church i dont want to offend any group any and all would be welcome. It sounds good in my head but think i need more advice before i go to far with this idea ive been working on it for a while now . Ive been to a few churches over the years i know how it works . Water as fuel sorry getting distracted it has more energy then most other matter.. It works with holy water my theory is that when a priest blesses the water to make it holy it does work because of sound affecting matter . If some really crazy bad person was to tell at some water it would turn bad like opposite of holy water . They did an experiment on this and watered the garden with both waters and the crazy bad guys water killed the plants holy water is good for the garden in case you didn't know
@ Modais
"holy water is good for the garden in case you didn't know"
I'm. Just. going> To.Leave. that. there.
Thanks *runs for bathroom*
@Modais
What flavor Kool-Aid would you serve at this Water Church?
"They did an experiment on this and watered the garden with both waters and the crazy bad guys water killed the plants holy water is good for the garden in case you didn't know"
I still don't know, but my vapid bullshit detector alarm has just gone nuts, seriously the needle's jumped right off the dial.
It should.
Canon William V. Rauscher claimed "“that canna plants given holy water left over from use in from use in religious services grew more than three times higher than canna plants which were not given holy water.”
In a paper published in the journal Psychological Reports in 1979, Sandra Lenington measured the mean growth of 12 radish seeds watered with holy water against that of 12 radish seeds watered with tap water. It was not, Lenington concluded, “significantly different.”
Once again, when a proclamation is put to the test with an impartial experiment run under appropriate scientific discipline, religion fails.
Water from different sources can have profoundly different effects on plant growth. I figure these differences have nothing to do with whether that water is blessed by any shamans so much as trace chemicals and minerals in it.
I worked in a greenhouse for two years. What is in the water is very important. For example, most serious gardeners never use tap water, but instead allow the water to sit in a 45 gallon barrel for over 24 hours, to allow any crap to settle on the bottom. Then any water for the plants is taken from the top, and the bottom few inches are discarded. It also allows the water to reach room temperature, so that the plants do not experience any thermal shock.
Growing good plants definitely involves rigorously controlling the chemistry in the water.
I concur. I’m a avid vegetable gardener. Rain water, in my book, is wonderful and I capture as much as possible for later use. It’s a pretty big home garden with fourteen raised beds that are 3’x10’ each.
@CyberLN
Rain is money in the bank. Here in Australia, many people have big water tanks next to their houses to catch rain off the roof. We've got a 5,000 liter tank that feeds the washing machine, toilets, and garden irrigation system. I envy you your big garden. We had a huge garden in New Zealand, but for some reason Australia is the biggest country with the smallest plots of land in the world. Even our house in London had a bigger garden.
@ CyberLn, Alegeb,DK
I live in a retirement villa with postage stamp garden 11mx1m so I grow in pots (peacherine tree, Tomatillo, lemonade tree, curry tree, native lime, Tahitian lime, Grapevine, (my pride and joy ) a coffee bush (1st year of berrying!!) youngberry, S African gooseberry, Lemongrass, curry tree, blueberry, chilli, perpetual spinach, Garlic chives, mint varieties, geraniums (at least 6 colours) Pelargonium(lots of different ones) Hibiscus, succulents, Native guava, strawberry guava (ymmm), miniature pomegranate (delicious) Rosemary (two varieties, chard.parsleys (both) thyme, basil, tomatoes plus a couple of (well 6) hanging baskets with flowers for Madame as she complains about my food garden until she eats it.
Garden is now doing well after we moved in about 8 years ago as sun/lack of sun and builders sand to about 3 m has always been a problem! I also look after a communal area outside our front boundary which I have just drip reticulated for ginger, rhubarb, kumqaut, ornamental flowering Crepe Myrtle, Golden Raindrops and artichoke (3rd year of cropping! )
https://books.google.com.au/books?id=8t7-2U4sWNsC&pg=PA78&lpg=PA78&dq=wa... pages 58 -80 yeah I know its a long read but most things are in it like other people's real experiments with water . Im am to lazy and high to remember all the scientist names in my head.

@Modais
What is crazy bad guy water? How do you get holy water?
Modais,
Churches have been built on crazier ideas! Yeah, go for it! Welcome everybody and persecute no one. No need to go beyond standard science. Water is marvelous enough as is. And, there are still legitimate scientific mysteries about it. It doesn't need supernatural enhancement!
Ok so if God was everywhere water would be a way to do it
