  i remember several years ago, the watchtower through the awake!

  magazine tried to tackle the ufo phenomenon and gave a super-watered-down generalization of it.

  today the subject got more interesting.

  It's not April the 1st is it!

  The initial gut feeling about this UFO thing is kind of like when I first discovered the "Truth". Why can't everybody else see this! What is wrong with the world? Why wasn't this on the 6 o'clock news? I gotta get out there and tell people about this! – So there is a sceptical feeling of deja vu about this.

  Now that I am resigned to atheism for this to come along just seems a little too convenient! It’s almost like the proof of atheism I’ve been looking for!

  I agree that if live evolved on earth why not elsewhere. I’ve always discounted UFO – Conspiracy theories as the lunatic fringe. The same way I viewed JW before I got suckered. So I’m not going to get carried away with it just yet

  There are certainly more eyewitnesses’ accounts of UFO visitation than there are living eyewitness accounts of say the great flood!

  In the past I've always associated abduction stories and UFO sightings (even stories from friends) as Hallucinations, Natural Phenomena, Mass Hysteria/Hypnotism, Media Hype etc. Neve ever considered it seriously but this made me think twice. There have been some notable hoaxes recently and this seems to be just too "Incredible" to be any else. The point about these things only crashing In the USA I know is strictly speaking incorrect – The Point I wanted to illustrate was why is the Military always able to get to these sites and cover it up. It all just sounds a little too incredible.

  But I remain open minded yet skeptical.

  The scary thing is Humans could be the only intelligent life in the universe – isn’t that a distressing thought.

  Things that did not make sense when I was active.

  by Skeptic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  inspired by englishman's post, i decided to list a few things that i disagreed with as a jw.. 1) jacob lied.. i disagreed with the wtbs on this even before i was baptised.

  it is pretty obvious.

  the elders agreed to baptise me if i kept my mouth shut about it.. 2) that jehovah is a loving and just god.. hitler killed 6 million jews and is considered to be one of the most evil men in history.

  I think you should nail this the door of the Watchtower (after the manner of Luther)

  7) Satan. Satan is just too convenient. Why would anyone spend their whole life making an entire planet misersble? If I had a short time to live, I would try to enjoy it, try to help others.

  I agree – All the answers seem a little too convenient. Its like if you don’t know then make something up that vaguely fits what the bible says. And don’t worry bout scientific evidence.

  16) The JW rules about remarriage. Your spouse beats you physically, so you decide to get a divorce. Now, YOU cannot remarry until you or your spouse "sins". Isn't the wrong person being punished?

  Sorry but its even more convoluted than that the official line is you can only remarry if one party commits adultery and the innocent party agrees to a divorce.

  And if I may add

  18) Jacob had at least thirteen children to 4 different women. Is it that Gods standards change or societies?

  2. friends

  contrairy to popular belief, jws have fantasies.

  wheras mine usually involve a wild night of passion, jw fantasies seem to involve something else.

  read the following e mail and see what i mean.... dear joe, .

  I think she has gone mad – the pressure was too much. I’ve seen it before. I think we can expect more like this.

  i've been a witness for 6 years.

  when a sweet pioneer sister came to my door and i started studying i never thought i would become a witness.

  21/2 years of studying i did get baptized.

  Quote of the day

  I do believe now that the "truth if it really is the truth should be able to to stand up against what others say

  You can be a child molester, Murderer, Arsonist thief you name it you can get away with it so long as there aren’t two whiteness. But tell some one you can’t conscientiously swallow all the doctrine and your out – Your feet won’t even touch the ground.

  I also agree with Francoise2 If you want out just walk. It takes some adjusting but the board will help.

  Who controls R&F Witnesses?

  2. friends

  call it one of my pet peeves, but when i see the org.

  write about control of ones thinking as quoted below i get steamed .

  the statements such as: "consider, too, the fact that jehovah's organization alone, in all the earth, is directed by god's holy spirit or active force.
