Once life is discovered outside outside the realm of earth...

how will it affect you?.

aa's thread on scientist's "creating" life got me to thinking about how people would react if life was discovered on other planets or solar systems.

the movie "contact" explored that some along with how faith and science combat but yet complement each other.. would life on other planets pretty much destroy much of earth's religious myths?

Would life on other planets pretty much destroy much of Earth's religious myths?

I would say no, mainly people on earth want sometype of religious belief system. It would take some hard physical evidence to convince people to believe differently. To me our physical bodies are not ment for space travel, our spiritual being is to figure out what path we selected.

It's interesting you mention that movie Contact in that movie Jodi Foster's character, her physical body did not leave the earth but her mind took her to a different universe. Maybe thats what we as human beings need to achive without mind-alternating drugs and alcohol.

Negative JW's

it's funny to me to notice, for the most part jw's are such negative people.

when i speak with my dad or brother who are staunch jw's the glass is always half empty.

everything is depressing.

talk about negative...right now I'm taking care of my elderly JW mother and its hard coping with her "end of the system" rants, I grew up with the fear of armageddon will strike any day and only the faithful dubs will survive.

I got out of that cult religion when I left home at eighteen and slowly learned to live a more positive life. It took a while but I found Jesus and got my faith back in God.

I did have a problem with my dub sister, she would come to visit our mother. My dub sister has that negative personality thats instill with the teaching of WT, anyway my sister used it to scare my elderly mother into going to the kingdum hall with her. One Sunday my elderly mother thru a fit at the kingdum hall that embarrassed my sister now my sister has stopped taking her to the dub meetings.

As for my JW mother, it doesn't bother me when she says negative words...right now I trying to make my elderly mother see the positive way of thinking.

hi banished1,

I did see that Oprah segment on child sex trade and human trafficking...that was some powerful information and very heartbreaking about how children as young as 6 yrs. old are force to sell themselves mainly in Southeast Asia. Many young boys and girls are being smuggled into the U.S.daily. Girls on the average serve 30 johns a day. I cried when Oprah showed how some girls were rescued from their horrid life.

At the end of the segment Oprah ask her audience to go to her website http://www.oprah.com and send pre-witten letters to their congressional representatives or write their own letters to support a bill going through congress to deal with this important issue.
