Humm...intresting how the "hard and fast" Christians never make an appearance on threads such as these. I d like to know why. If your reading this ...explain to me how this scripture makes sense to believe in . Explain to me how its WORTH believing in this scripture. Wrap yourhead around a mercyful loving God setting an example for dumb children by KILLING THEM WITH BEARS. Lets see.....if this was myth or folk, then IT would make sense..

Hi Chief! I d be intrested to know more about your time as a JW. Was it only the fact that you couldnt participate in pow wows and other sioux nations culture things that made you leave or something else. I have a friend in Niagara Falls Ontario who participates in pow wows near Windsor Ontario Canada. Its not often that I hear a chief leaves the organization. Do any of your family get the "urge" to understand your point of view?

JW religion is not all that bad really
by veen ini know we all have issues with the borg, but really i think there are far more despicable religions on the go, namely american style evangelical christianity.
i'm watching a film called 'jesus camp' as i type and all i can say is any of you idiots who post on here who say you left the jw's and have now found jesus are totally retarded.
you really need to get a grip on reality and stop needing religion as a crutch.

I feelya...I get incensed sometimes when I read posts on this site that make Jesus/evangelicalism/christian faith/ or whatever the best thing since the discovery of the "truth"....and it makes me hurl sometimes. Thats why I only post when i have something to say that I feel would be intresting for some out here like me..or I come out here to read what the latest on the JW world is since my family is all in. The thing is though the guy that influenced me to leave was Ray Franz and that man still finds reasons to believe in Jesus and God ect...since I think for myself I like to believe ppl can choose to believe what makes them comfortable..belief in a cow, a teapot orbiting the planet Jupiter, YHWH, jesus,,Dionysus, Black Jesus, Chinese Jesus, Italian Jesus, Hercules, Batman and Robin, Arnold SHwartzanegger, or the worship of the lead singer of the canadian rock group Rush ..Geddy Lee......WHO FRIGGIN CARES! Let ppl keep praying to whatever god they want and we can keep telling them how nutty it is to pray to an "invisible man" in the sky.

A Question For Christians..what would you do if........
by chrisjoel ingiven the chance, if we made contact with an extraterrestial life form that came to dwell among us for even a short period of time, would you preach the gospel of jesus to it with a view to possibly baptizing the "alien" into christianity?

Deputy Dog
Lets turn this around. What if he came here to preach it to us. Do you think any more people would believe it?Hey Dog if an alien came to out planet I would be intrested in Anything he had to say!!! Lets see, he could say "My race had a hand in creating you guys" or "My race on my planet live and breath and exist in this way...." whatever. However, if that alien said "Jesus Christ is Lord and I have come to your planet to preach him to you ...." then id have to rethink some things. I highly doubt that he would know who Jesus is. I think anyone would be intrested in whatever he had to say but I still think Christian leaders of this world would try to salvage whatever they could from thier theology to prove anything they could faced with this new circumstance.
Their are "Christian Scientists" that face this question all the time. Brother Guy Consolmagno for example is a leading Vatican Scentist who says..." Do aliens need to be saved? Depends if they are subject to "original sin" or not. The traditional theology of original sin, tracing it back to the origins of the human race, says absolutely nothing about other entities, either way. Once we find other intelligences, we'll be in a better position to expand that theology"....You want to talk about stubborn Thats stubborn!The point im making with this question is that its going to be really hard for religion to die out. Christianity is faced with a growing amount of skepticism and a hypothetical situation such as I mentioned is my way of saying its going to stay around in some form or another for those who dont want it to die.EVEN IF AN ALEN came from another planet and showed us that he came to life on his planet just as we are on our planet and throughout the universes exist life, even then Christianity would die a slow death.

winnower..
The very nature of your question shows the JW mindset.
Why would you assume such a superior position that the alien needs you to teach it something?
I find one of the biggest problems with JWs is that they have mouths and no earsWhat??? anyways.. ...This agnostic isnt teaching anyone anything. Im simply saying given the nature of Christianity I could see Christian leaders forcing or othewise leading christianity upon OF ALL THINGS an intelligent being from another planet. ...so chill out already.
