  Ahhh yes, the benefit scams. I too know a few that used to do this in the UK & still do. Often claiming to be mentally ill & claiming disability premium (if that's what it's called now) + housing benefit & still able to hobble around from door to door, God-bothering.

  It is wrong in my opinion. If you can work in the field and attend regular meetings + participate, then surely you can at the very least work part time and contribute to the society you are leaching off ?

  I know there are genuine cases, always, but few in the active ranks of "the truth".

  Of course there is always the option of shopping a JW to the local authorities who is falsely claiming benefit while "working". You would probably be doing them a favour, a lesson in taking full responsibility for their own life, something that being a JW robs them of.

  i personally know of 2 people who have seen unidentified flying objects.

  just recently i stumbled across this site http://homepage.ntlworld.com/m.hurley/ which claims to show ancient paintings which have flying saucers in them.

  are these paintings genuine?

  Interesting pictures, but they could be fakes!

  The problem with images especially as I mentioned earlier, is you can easily fool the eye. Just knocked together two flat bitmaps in Adobe (took 15 minutes of messing about - double that time and it would have been far more convincing):

  I could have posted this and said it was an ancient symbol carved into stone. The untrained eye would probably agree.

  Interestingly, a lot of reported sightings and descriptions of UFOs are certainly open to wide debate. Many mark them down as manmade experiments and natural phenomena.

  One observation about the descriptions of these objects over the last 100 years, has been how they seem to relate to the technology of the time period that they exist within. Over a period of time the shapes and descriptions became more streamlined and "hi-tech". Where as the original saucers from the 40s onwards, looked like Grandma's saucepan on a string. With the introduction of packages like Photoshop and CGI software it is possible to hoax to a far greater degree and this has been the case since the late 70s onwards.

  Whilst I do not rule out completely the existence and indeed intervention by "alien" beings, I believe it highly improbable that they would have a lasting interest in this decaying nest that we inhabit.

  I second that *sigh*

  The US administration "seemingly" would prefer a different gas to be pumped into chambers filled with dirty Arabs. At least that's the way I feel the vibe at present ??

  Did a stranger baptize you?

  by JH in

  shouldn't it have been the person who gave you your bible study, that should have baptized you?

  in matthew 28:19,20 it says "go therefore and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit.. the way i see it, it should have been the one who gave you the biblical knowledge, that should have baptized you.

  making disciples is phase one, and baptizing them is phase two.

  in another thread heathen gave me a great idea.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=43769&site=3.

  i'm always hearing apostates propose the idea of partaking of the emblems or passing out apostate literature at the memorial... but heathen has given me an even better idea.... a mass walk-out.

  well, at least five people or so .

  I think you have to ask yourself, what in reality do these actions actually achieve? Are you educating others to have more freedom of mind and expression, or are you simply making yourself look like a childish fool?

  To be honest, when I was a JW, I would have thought the latter of you.

  It is far better to reason with others about their beliefs, but ultimately if they choose to follow a certain faith, then leave them alone. They have every right to worship in the way they choose. Disturbing a meeting for no good reason is not a fair and just way to behave.

  I think handing out leaflets or approaching individuals after the meeting is fair enough. Afterall, JWs approach and try to reason, so choose the same tactic and earn respect. Far better than fueling the anit-apostate fire.

  If this happened, what would you do?

  you have been following the news for weeks on iraq and wonder, "when will we attack and get this thing done?

  " finally we invade and the war is in full swing.

  the economy, which has been struggling for months now, finally caves in and major retailers fold as of the results of an extremely poor holiday shopping season.

  Yizuman:

  Saddam may be partially insane and a brutal leader, but don't be a sucker to the news reports and what you are led to believe. Take a look at the weapons our nation states hold and ask yourself why other smaller nations would choose to develop their own arsenal.

  bigboi:

  An understandable statement according to your fearful vision of the world, but is your vision correct? Who really are the enemy we should fear the most? Do the smaller nations on the planet have a right to arm themselves in a similar way to the US? Maybe they are feeling more and more vulnerable at the hands of US foreign policy and need to feel secure within themselves. How much more dangerous would your existence become in reality? Take in the global picture and understand why the poorer nations react in this way.

  The biggest threat at the moment I can now see is one centralized government dictating what each individual on the planet can and can't do. Taking our personal liberties away and tying us in to Westernized ideas and philosophies. The cloak of fear that has been cast across the world - "Terrorism" - who in reality cast that shadow across us all and what is their ultimate goal? Myself, I'll never take anything at face value again, never. I really do not trust the political powers that have raised themselves to govern us at this moment in time. I am growing increasingly unsettled by the propaganda machine that increases in momentum weekly and turns our collective attention towards global terrorism. When a man becomes gripped by fear he will often leap under the easiest shelter to protect himself. Fall into line, it's the Bush & Blair show, no jostling at the back please or you will be thrown out!
