    Now we can all be very grateful to God that these Nephilim don’t exist anymore, all we have are their skeletons in museums. We do have them in Museums don’t we?

    Don't be so sure! An elder in a cong I went to said, from the platform no less, that "Bigfoot" could be an offshoot of the Nephilim! LOL!

    It does seem to be a bit of a stretch to think that perfect angels would be atracted to human females.

    But what if instead of spirit beings (angels), they were beings from another planet?
    That would put a different twist on it.
    Wouldn't it?

    TR - I just love the way some elders minds tick over - I can well believe it! I guess the Abominable Snowman is one as well!

    Its amazing how the Watchtower uses other references to similar beings to make out these dudes really existed!

    Watchtower 1st February 1994
    “It is noteworthy that these events later found expression in the legends of ancient civilizations. For example, a 4,000-year-old Babylonian epic describes the superhuman exploits of Gilgamesh, a mighty, violent demigod whose “lust [left] no virgin to her lover.” Another example, from Greek legend, is the superhuman Hercules (or Heracles). Born to Alcmene, a human, and fathered by the god Zeus, Hercules set out on a series of violent adventures after killing his wife and children in a fit of madness. Although such tales were greatly distorted as they passed from generation to generation, they tie in with what the Bible says about the Nephilim and their rebellious angelic fathers.”

    What happened to the angels ability to turn back into angels? Why did they die in the flood? I don't have a bible so I cannot look this up.

    But, would it not make sense that if you are an angel and you come down to earth, you keep your ability to turn yourself back into a spirit being? Or does God give you one chance to have fun....take it and die as a human or stay in heaven?

    One of the reasons I enjoy visiting the Monkey House at the Zoo is because some of those female monkeys are SO HOT!

    I gotta wonder how many of you wimmenfolk out there have been at the Zoo and caught the male monkeys getting a little spank going? Did you think to yourself, "Hey Big Boy, are you in a committed relationship?"

    It's all bible-based; I'm only following the example set by the angels. What a book! And - it's all TRUE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    The same Watchtower continues...

    "However, the wicked angels did not die. Instead, they dematerialized their human bodies and returned to the spirit realm. Because of their disobedience, they were not allowed back into God’s family of righteous angels; nor were they permitted again to put on human bodies as they did in Noah’s day. Still, they continued to exercise a ruinous influence in the affairs of humankind, under the authority of “the ruler of the demons,” Satan the Devil."

    The angels didn't rescue their mutant offspring though!

    Speaking as Sleepy the governing body member ,heres my theory,

    The wicked Angels not only fansied the ladies , but also men and animals.
    The human mutants were pretty bad , but the animals , well thats where the dinosaurs came from, mutant animals offspring of Angels.
    Now we can explian away all those fossils.

    Do you remmeber one of the explainations for dinosaurs in the watchtower?
    Apparently they were used by God to trample the earth down ready for humans.And I remmeber people using that on the ministry.

    matty, it is quite sure an amazing thing to speak about that situation.
    But I believe that men from heaven have a heavenly body, like paul writes about the resurrection.
    and when before the flood men came down to earth does that show that exterrestials existed and had a gen code which was near the one of the human race.
    so what do we learn?
    the ancient know how was great, the prac tice shows that. think of the pyramids, anghor watt and other places.
    I would recooomend you to read the following books:
    1. ) Uriels machine (the author is British)
    2.) the fingerprints of the gods (by Graham Hancock)

    you will get certain perspectives and understand, that really persons came down from heaven. or try to read the boook of enoch.
    on the other hand, a German Witness, Dr. Karl Riedel ( I guess this is his name) located in Kassel, wrote 2 books about it, accuse the WTS hypocricy and was disfellowshipped.
    There are many things given, we really cant explain, but it shows that e.t.'s are possible - equal what kind of body.

    so dont think with the eyes of a shepherd who lived in the 2nd millenium before christ. today we can understand many things in another way.

    Thanks Klaus - well, I had no idea that this thread would provoke such an interest! I must admit that my original post was a bit fluffy, but there are so many angles to this story that are worth investigating!

    The logic of the story, the reason it was put there in the bible, the origins of the story – the parallels in different cultures – it’s all worth looking into more deeply. Thank you everybody for all your responses.

    Jude 6 “And the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place he has reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.”

    If there are any angels reading this - be warned!
