9/11 Attacks-- No planes say conspiracy theorists

by Kenneson in

ianone and others have been spreading their propaganda on this forum and elsewhere on the internet for quite some time that it was not commercial airliners but smaller planes, rockets, or detonations that brought down the world trade center and hit the pentagon.

but zacarias moussaoui disagrees with them.

see " 9/11 attacks.

I'm with Zen - well, almost. Leave him alone you horrible lot, he has a right to believe the alternative explanation. He also does not lose his credibility!

Fascist Happy Dad - do we all have everything correct in our lives?

I do believe planes were involved however and those pesky arabs to some degree.

I have three interesting videos here - Martial Law:9/11 by Alex Jones being the best of the three IMO.

I have looked at both sides of the story and believe at the very least there was foreknowledge and a conspiracy of silence.

Why is the question

... and Funky:

Are we really supposed to believe that the government (or the Illuminati, or the reptilian overlords) destroyed four commercial airliners and their passengers and crew

Why did Norad step down?

Valid alternatives to the door to door preaching work?

by El blanko in

ok - so i had a talk/debate with a guy today who insists that he sees "nobody else talking about the end of the world" and that "the door to door work the jws perform is the best way to preach.

this guy has a brother who is disfellowshipped.

he has never been baptized, yet has an ongoing interest and believes the jws are a special people.

Good points Mary - cheers

Hi Glofishy

A brother in the local congregation a few years back refused to go door to door, as he claimed the teaching was not scriptural. The elders tried hard to persuade him and he simply "dug his heels in" and said "no!"

He maintained a moral code of conduct (to the best of my knowledge) and attended meetings, but was never really accepted due to the field service situation.

Eventually he just left the organization and moved on.

I think it is really hard to be a practising JW and refuse to go door to door.

His only way out really, is to play the "mental health" card and maybe informally witness to gain a few hours each month. I know a brother who was ill and got away with doing maybe 4 to 5 hours a month this way.

It's all a bit sad really.

Thank-you for all of your replies so far. I am taking note

As a side issue - he also added, that:

"... even though the response does not appear to be great in terms of time spent vs converts to the faith - the work is still relevant, due to a warning message being given to all nations."

I must scan in and print out the section in Christian Freedom regarding the ministry as well for him to read.

I think after all of this, I will let the issue go and move on to something else.

Let that guy you know, know, that I've had to pooh-pooh many a mormon off my steps.

Hi there ...

I think the trouble I have using that argument in the UK is that the JWs are really the only ones pestering people at their front doors.

I have met Mormans in the town, but only JWs knock doors around here (or so it seems).

I will add your thoughts to my document though.

Cheers

Football

There was a moron wobbling past my house yesterday with England glasses on and a shirt to match, drinking spirits and shouting "engeeeeerrrlaaaaaaaaaand"

Mind you, the masses have to have their alternative religion I suppose. Keeps the plebs in line

A funny thing happened to me the other day.

by TweetieBird in

just had the co visit and a circuit assembly and the big push is on to do business territory and street witnessing and less door to door.

we've been encouraged to "go where the people are!

" which brings me to a funny coincidence.

El blanko

when you are selling magazines you should know what the hell you are talking about, so dont bother me with your b.s.

buffalosrfree:

That's one way to win points I suppose. Might be an idea to make your point and use a little kindness instead of insults?

Just a thought

Thanks for the comments so far, if anybody else has a contribution, please add to the thread. As I said earlier, all these thoughts will be extracted and used if applicable.

His brother was disfellowshipped for an immoral act. Nuff said He (who I have spoken about before) is currently attempting to be reinstated.

The debate occurred after I had pointed out that I had little to no faith in the WTBTS chronology. He told me that was fair enough, but he didn't concern himself with dates, as they meant little to him anyway.

I told him there was no point going out to talk to people and support the religion if the creed was faulty and to claim that "JWs have truth absolute" is just plain silly in light of the errors.

What would you have said?

(I will be passing on the thoughts by the way)
