do you believe it is some government plot?
do you think et's are scouting us out...and for what reason?.
do you think abduction hysteria will be the next wave of weird news to set people on the edge of their seats?.
OUTLAW!!!
Wow, that is great! Did you see the RFID blocking wallet? Those strips can be read without your knowledge while they are in you pocket.
Brain waves are real electrical waves. A helmet may help stop others from 'reading' your mind.
It would be an interesting psychic experiment.

even if this really happens, we won't ever hear about it except through anecdotal tales from people like her (those in the UFO community). I think the UFO community feeds on itself and develops crazy tales.
Fear is a great mind control tool. It makes people buy in to crazy schemes like WMD's. Let's try to free ourselves from the fear grid that is our world.
One of the things I remember about biblical prophecy is Luke 21 -
7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.... 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.... 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
So the obvious question to me is, was Jesus an alien? Is He leading the good aliens out to help us? Will he defeat the reptilians (serpents) out to cause us harm?
Do global events seem to be heading toward some point of event? Yes
Does these events seem to be orchestrated? Yes
Are there odd things in the sky? Yes
Does anyone know what they are? Maybe, but not politicians and not the military. Probably leaders of giant corporations as they seem to be the ones bent on enslaving the worlds population by owning all employment (and making the rules for same), producing all food (if you can still call it that), saying and doing what they want on television (mind control, instantaneous global influence etc.), controlling communications (imagine if everyone got a mind control signal on the same day to kill others or themselves) It is more than possible, it has happened on very small scales.
But, above all, Jesus said be not terrified. Just disconnect from it. I think that if there are these evil aliens who want to enslave us, there are probably good ones who want to help us. Even if there are no aliens and its all humans driving us off the cliff, all we do it die. If there is life after death then it's a release, if not then we sleep.
Even better, bring a joy vibe to earth. Embody love and peace best you can.
religion...the biggest hypocrisy mankind has ever practiced.. .

in case anyone's interested but unaware of my family's case up to this point, here's the original thread:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/198852/5/sbcheezits-judicial-hearing-my-epic-fail-repost-for-ie-users.
so the elders requested a follow-up meeting last week but we were unable to meet at their set time and told them as much.
A manifesto is a public declaration of principles and intentions, often political in nature. Manifestos relating to religious belief are generally referred to as a creed. Manifestos may also be life stance-related.
Leave it at manifesto.
Most people probably relate the word 'manifesto' with the Unabomber. The Unabomber was of course the crazed lunatic who bombed people and places for no reason for more than 20 years. Most people probably don't know that Ted K. was unknowingly part of a cruel, CIA sponsored, LSD mind control experiment as a student at Harvard.
While I am certain that Cheezits has not become Unabomber part 2, I do fully understand the quiet agony and feelings of powerlessness being DF'd brings.
What I would like to know is if anyone has ever tried a case like this in US court on the grounds it violates the persons freedom of speech rights. How many of us are fearful, because of what we say in here, of our true identities being discovered. Does the WTS have the authority to threaten people in such a way? To really levy punishment against a person for having an opinion contrary to theirs?
Fear of losing family because you disagree with an opinion. Why should they have such power, and how can it be taken away.
ok i am still in good standing in the jw world for whatever reason i still do not understand.
i get shunned and then i get love bombed by others?
it is all very confusing.. ok so i was talking to this sister a couple of days ago and i have known her forever she is a very nice person.
I just sometimes get so down, I have never experienced love in this cult even though I tired so hard to fit in. I know I am not alone, it just hurts sometimes at how hateful they can be.
Do they have a biblical reason for also including the children of the "marks" in on the shunning?
I was df'd in 86 and my children have been largely ignored by my family.
I remember hearing reasoning that since children of the ones who died in the flood died with the parents, (remember the awful image of the woman clutching her baby while being drowned by Jah? wasn't that in the children's book? those monsters) that meant that those children would probably have turned out like their parents. Could it be a similar reasoning? Like ignore the children, they will become just like the parents.
what situation(s) got you out of the organization, either mentally or physically or both?
what was your "last straw"?.
truthseekeriam-
amen
may this organization and all those like it break down to dust
may all those hurt by this organization and all those like it find healing and renewed joy
care to share your particular weltanschauung ?.
how do you approach life in general?
how do you convey to others your opines on life, love and laughter?.

It's a pirates life for me............ Yaarrrr
about a year ago i went through a mild meltdown.
it hit me fast i had panic attacks and became angry with all the control in my life.
(being a jw) i had just found out i was being screwed on a real estate development project by another self righteous jw i have known for a long time but this was a big loss (about 4 months pay plus expenses).
Welcome! This forum has helped me a lot, I hope you find as much solace here. Hopefully your wife will come around.
(sorry if this is a double post - i haven't been on in awhile).
so spouse and i are completely inactive.
it's great!
It's like moving to a foreign land. When you move there, you may not have any clue as to local customs and traditions but as time goes by you tend to adapt to them and while you may never fully appreciate it as the locals do, you learn to appreciate it enough to enjoy it with them and to respect their ways.
I have to grin at this. It's a great way to describe how it is when you get out.
I had the odd experience of trying to explain to my co-workers how when I was a child I tried to convince my parents that Santa was real based on the news reports we were getting of how they were tracking his sleigh on radar. lol

One WT. or publication would state something but when you read the bound volume it was simply taken out as if the original was never said! In the late 70s, the WT. stated we would not see the end of this "century" which was a boneheaded statement. Later, that same year, it was changed and a different spin was put on.
This makes sense too. I remember wanting to hang on to bound volumes for years! I wanted them around because after all they are important right? well I was told that the WTS didn't like people keeping them that far back and never got an answer as to why but now I know!
