i remember one article encouraged peeps to not look for life on other planets, but instead try to draw close to extra-terrestrials that want to draw close to us (jehovah, jesus, faithful angels) or either imply at the end of one publication that jehovah has a purpose for the universe but that the earth will always be special because this is where his name/right to rule was vindicated.

back on the old h20, i posted a thread called,

GODS AN ALIAN!

if you try to imagine an alian visiting us, you see a vastly more
advanced creature that would be able to amaze us with its knowledge, and power.

now try to inagine the bible accounts of "alian" contact.

that big chariot in isiah= spaceship.

miricles= superior technology.

following a star! pleeeease.

if you were a superior being trying to talk to inferior creatures
may be as difficult as us communicating with ants or bees.

instead we try to learn thier language, and speak to them.

perhaps the bible is a crude attempt to contact us, and jesus
is really a mediator between us and a bigger being.

just my two cents.

of course alians exist they wrote the bible.

For Englishman & other Europeans

ok, favorite/most despised cars thread.. i'm a mechanic (undercar) in the states, and american mechanics for the most part really don't like most european cars.

the words saab, renault, and peugot will send most mechanics on an early lunch break that may last into next week or until the car leaves the shop.. a swedish person once joked about skoda cars to me in a chat room.

what do you call a skoda with twin pipes (dual exhaust)?

josephus

the new skodas are great. they have a 220 horsepower that can beat most luxury cars, and its very cheap.

Kias of all make are crap.

dawoo are rubbish.

most others are great.

video-game character wondering why heartless god always chooses 'continue' .

orangeburg, sc--solid snake, tactical-espionage expert and star of playstation's "metal gear solid," questioned the nature of the universe monday when, moments after his 11th death in two hours, a cruel god forced him to "continue" his earthly toil and suffering.. .

" asked snake, hiding in a storage locker while two masked guards searched for him in the hold of a cargo ship.

Its a Coca Cola crate.

and ill be cleaning windows with it this morning!

i am not trying to be rude its just that constant headbanging over the jws gets on my nerve (singular).

insulting people seems to me like a bad way to get a message across, and maybe more jws would leave if they

could just get facts.

it allso pisses me off when people try to damage others faith with no suggestion for an alternative.

anyway thanks.

tryiing to distingquish between religion and cults is a waste of time.

ALL organisations display some cult-like traits.

be they in buisness or in religion. to say one is a cult and another is not is impossible.

jws MIGHT be a cult, just like catholics and loads of others.

i certainly harbour a resentment for them, but my opinion does not make it so.

i put things in caps because i am too lazy to learn to use italics.

yes they are rich, but again this doesnt prove them to be bad.

its fine to demand change, but its another to gullibly accept all the bs people say about jws.

you demonise every decision the gb make and every watchtower written with no regard for the fact that

that they are probably just old guys with problems they cant begin to solve.

Ray franz managed to leave with no bitterness. he believes much that is written in the mags is good

and usefull for cristians.

why not try and be a little more like him.

untill the gb try to do a jim jones with thier members i will believe there is some

good in them.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANW.

here we go again. lets hurl abuse at this tiny little org, while all the while ignoring
the HUGE groups who do far worse things.

Catholic nums were implicated in the murders of ruwandins (spelt wrong).

but do we hear people cursing the pope NO.

THE FACTS ARE SIMPLE.

the wtbts are wrong.

BUT they are not worse than many others groups, and are better than lots all over the world.

GET ON WITH LIFE.

or if you must, attack all religion.

stop beleiving every bad thing you read about jws.

if i wrote an article telling you guys the elders were into satanic child abuse you would all beleive me.

SADLY MANY PEOPLE LIE about the wtbts, and you guys only help them with your fake rage.

i saw a posting the other day where someone was "giving the wtbts fair warning" if they visited him.

YEEH RIGHT. they are reading hisr post and recording it.

some of you have the jws blown out of all proportion.

jw
friends

just wondering if there were any positives to being a jw.

i have read most of the posts and see that a lot of people were jw for years and years and was thinking that not all that time could things have been bad?

oh and somewhere in gen. it is supposed to state that we are living in the 7th day now????

josephus

ah yes farkel is right i do drink a lot.

however as in any club there will be good times, and bad.

you will enjoy beleiving you are better and more knowledgable than others.
