I do not believe there is advanced life on other planets, nor do I have any proof.
Actually, no one has any proof, at least that I know of.

there is something i have always thought about, can anybody prove the existence of an benevelent god, who claims to love us but constantly proves to elusive, and is a matter of interpretation in the magic book, how can any of us puny humans know his ways, we only know how to procreate, live and eventually die, surely a truely loving father would protect his offspring , i'm thinking that maybe the god of the jehovah's witnesses is truely the demiurge the creator god and not the almighty father that knows all, why else would he be jealous?.
by the way i'm getting fed up with these arguments, and am thinking along the lines of a deist creator one creates and flies on, or even it doesn't exist and it's more of a panspermia thing!.
all the bible does is self validate itself, once you have bought into it, it's very tricky to get out, it's good there are sites like this!!!.

The problem with Benengaria is she thinks the Demonrats shit doesn't stink.
It stinks just as much as the Republicorps.

i have no idea, that is why i'm asking.
i did mention on another thread that need might be involed, but they said no.

To answer the question: The need to be the God Maker, because the God Maker is more powerful than God.

a pawn shop is a good working model for the doctrine of grace.. if we examine the model we can clearly view the elements of a bond and how the transaction works.. then, we can apply what the model illustrates for understanding the metaphor used in the new testament.. .
in a pawn we have:.
1.customer who owns something of value.
Terry,
The problem with getting into subjects like this is that we are working with limited information. We live to be 80 years old and we try to make sense of issues that have thousands of years of unknown information, not even taking into account that we do not live in the spirit realm and are not privy to thousands upon thousands of years of conversations that have taken place there.

i've done no research on this but i suspect that a members belief or absence of belief in god may have some correspondence with the number of posts he or she has made.. my tentative suggestion is that members with fewer than 500 posts are mostly believers while members with more than 3000 posts are mostly non-believers.
of course there are exceptions, maybe quite a few, but i'm only dealing with generalities here.
so how about a survey?
My question is: Why the obsession?

the borg has made our previous lives so unbelievably bad we are damaged people who were hurt by seven old twats, who raped the minds of their followers, the best we can hope for is that our kid's have as little knowledge of old men in power sitting pretty in their position of absolute power as possible.. .

I hate to break the news to you, but this situation is not mutually exclusive to JW's.
Everyone on this planet has been raised by parents who were victims of their parents, who were victims of their parents, and so on.
I suffered alot of emotional trauma when I was a child, and tried to bring my child up in a better way, which I did.
My child does not see it that way, because she has no reference point.
In other words, she did not experience MY childhood, so she has nothing to compare her 'better life' to.
