one possible scenario for future manned exploration of mars is that the astronauts would be given what amounts to a "one-way ticket" with enough fuel and supplies to get them there and keep them alive but with no plans to return them to earth.. this may strike our modern sinsibilities as an absurd requirement for a mission, and yet it is not much different from what prospect was faced by ocean voyagers during the "age of exploration" right here on earth.
comments?
if you were able to qualify, would you be willing to do this?.
No. I love my wife and kids too much. I would rather have three years with them than 3 years in a capsule to go to mars. Take a look at things geologically ( in terms of time) and it becomes a stupid mission. Our probes are sending back good intel. There is no need to waste the nations money and several lives to go to mars.
Life is short. It is a waste to go to mars. Just my opinion based on where I am at in my life.

pg 28 par 18.
The very concept of "foreigner" has already
lost much of its meaning among
Jehovah's Witnesses, who pay little attention
to the nationality of those in
their midst. Recently, for example, several
of their smaller branch offices were
merged to simplify the work of oversight
and to improve efficiency in accomplishing
the preaching of the good
news of the Kingdom. (Matt. 24:14)

didn't see this posted already so i thought i would start a new topic.
three-page article about in vitro fertilization and what to do with frozen embryos.
the way i read it is everything to do with ivf is a conscience matter unless it involves a 3rd party then it's considered porneia.
Frozen eggs or embryos?
well i figured i should give you all an update.
they will be dfing me soon for apostasy.
it is not a huge surprise and i am not afraid nor "shaking in my boots", however i will admit it is stressful right now.
Hang in there man. I know you have been through hell the last couple of years. I sure appreciate your example and courage. Fight the fine fight brother!

Why I know the world is flat.
By Iamani Diot
The World is flat. This is the most important belief that I possess. This knowledge defines me, and is my point of reference for all that I believe.
These are the reasons that I know the world is flat:
Despite the abundant proof mentioned above, there are some among us who dispute the fact that the earth is flat. These ones are arrogant imposters, not of our sort, who are determined to corrupt our minds. They are mentally diseased.
The Devil has blinded their minds and gotten them to question the most basic of all truths. Once they question the simplest of truths and claim that the world is round; then their minds are open for all sorts of deception. One doubt is all it takes. My fellow Villagers, never let your hearts be tested by these foolish questionings of men. Always remember that one thing can never change....The world is flat. Let this truth safeguard you and reject the false arguments that the Devil makes.

no doubt everyone has been following the juan viejo postings regarding the watchtower kingdom hall "grab" on jwn for the last couple of years.
called the mrs and me to say "wow- you have to google this" we did...came here to jwn ...became members..and the rest is history.. in the last nine months i have been calling and emailing contacts in the silicon valley for verification on the societies theft and forced sale of the menlo park kingdom hall (near the new facebook heaquarters) because the story seemed...a little far fetched.
every reliable contact i made has confirmed what juan reported.
I know for a fact that there is a concerted effort by elders in congs around the menlo area to discredit and demonize the Cobbs. I have no doubt that the source of the slander is headquarters.

there are a great many people - and internet sites- that preach a sort of 2012/ufo gospel.
while they may contradict one another, they mostly teach that ufo's will intervene and save us, especially if governments admit that they exist.. yeah, ok..... been there, heard that..... but could there be a core of truth to this idea?.
what would happen if the world acknowledged that et's exist?.
Metatron, you are one of my favorite posters on this board. You bring a logical approach to many things. Even though I do think there is some form of other life out there, I am not sure they care about man. That said, the simple disclosure that there are other beings out there will shatter mankinds preconceived notions. There have been many epic discoveries in the last several hundred years, each time the discovery comes when Mankind gets comfortable with the presumption that they have it all figured out.
I am by no means a conspiracy theorist but when I have read about things like the Nazca lines, stonehenge and the Tunguska event it makes me wonder if there is still a lot out there that we simply don't know. Here's to a golden age!
