  Reason #11: Cappicino!

  Hey Ozzie, what's this calling me, a boy raised on home-made Barrossa red a beer man? I'm almost a tea totaller now, unless there's a cappicino machine near by - tempted to throw the machine and 240v inverter in the back of the ute* - bloody diabetes no more Wolf Blass or Southwark Premium for me :(

  unclebruce, frothing at the mouth and avoiding Sydney water.

  (PS: A good game might be "Pin the tail on the Fredd" ... might help cure Stephanus his Fred Hall Philia/Phobia/obsession

  *Yanks please note:'Stick it in the Ute' doesn't mean violate an Indian.

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

  You guys are all so cool.

  Tally is that Awake! For real? LOL

  royal reptilian blackhearted alien saucer-pilot unclebruce.

  Newsflash - Page 12 of yesterdays paper had an article about a couple video taping for half an hour the antics of a 120kg 1.2meter long Panther type cat in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. These creatures are of great interest with over 40 reputable (dare I say scholarly) sightings in the last 30 years. Mainstream media have poo poo'd these events and the ancient aboriginal legends of the 'Dooligal' that roam the Great Dividing Range from New Guinea to Tasmania. (Warigul in Victoria)

  That this film wasn't aired on mainstream TV is no surprise - it's too clear (now being studied by wildlife officers from National Parks and Forestry Dept) There is much yet to learn, new plant and even ancient tree species are still being found here and there are still undiscovered creatures on this earth to find let alone out in the far black yonder. (About two or three large mamals are discovered each year, besides the hundreds of sea-creatures and plant species.)

  Hippikon: There is much more to this than Roswell. I have read just about everything I can on the UFO subject. Yes there is a widescale cover-up. We often forget we live in a world ruled by military men. I was born and raised close to Australias area 51. (note the recent unmanned flight from area 51, which doesn't exist, to WRE (weapons reasearch establishment), Edinburough SA,which does exist) Australia has long been the testing ground for US and UK hardware from inter-continental ballistic missiles to the A Bomb and electro-magnetic pulse, lazer and Tesla tecnologies. Many of the most high tech weapons systems in the world are developed and tested in the Australian deserts. Sounds like you haven't heard of the UFO flaps and astonishing things that have happened around these tests and bases.

  Contrary to popular jibing most UFO sightings come from very credible witnesses, trained observers like airline pilots and astronomers. Travis Watson and Whitley Streiber? Who knows, but it does no harm to examine and learn.

  As an entry point to this fascinating area I'd recommend reading up on Aircraft, their manufacture and flight characteristics (boundry layer ellimination etc..) .. we don't want you getting frightened of swamp gas filled balloons from Venus (the official Roswell explaination) mmm ... majestic bullet anyone?

  Geez Tallymun,

  Next you'll be telling me the Germans made Vril and Harnibo2 anti-gravity saucer shaped craft during WWII or that Einstein and Testla were right after all or that the Watchtower men wouldn't know if Brooklyn Bethel was invaded by brainwashed out of space aliens ... mmm

  Jan - we're being reduced to arguing over the definition of what is and is not scholarly. I cling to the broad dictionary definition here of a scholar being a learned and erudite person. I believe Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln to be just that. I am fully aware of the depths of acedemia and the way burden of proof and depth of reasoning increases the higher one climbs those Ivy covered walls, however for us laymen and rank amatures if a work is referenced in University or even High School that's good enough to grant it the title scholarly.

  The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception is a bloody good read (despite it's sensationalist and somewhat inaccurate title)

  unclebruce, common as muck but knows what he likes ;)

  PST: Your logic slip is showing - I don't think calling my recomended reading 'watchtowerlike' then admiting you haven't even read the books in question was a good move ;) The title 'bestseller' might not guarantee a book is scholastically accurate, however at least these lettered men have put their names and reputations on the line for all the world to see - I have far more respect for them than cold academics who couldn't write a best seller if their life depended on it.

  Is it my fault the popular disemination of hard and not so hard science is left up to those not up to your high standards? (I know why I make you cring Jan ;) and I am aware of the silly intellectual snobery at Universities that insists one can't officially have an opinion on a subject lest one has passed the appropriate courses and has those little letters after ones name.)

  I best go now, the locals will think we're arguing H2O style in this peacefull village.

  Jan - The books I have recomended reading are widely accepted as scholarly and historically accurate. I haven't said one should dis-engage ones brain when reading them. For anyone bought up with a fundamentalist world view these books, and particularly 'The Messianic Legacy' put history in it's proper context.

  If you have found any factual error whatso ever in these chaps work why not just say so. When it comes to JDub mind-expansion I'd even recommend Barbara Theirings 'Jesus the Man'.

  Chuck - I don't know what your on. I simply recomended several highly rated books for their historical content and stated my experience with Christians and the historical facts they present. Sorry if my frustration with loopy fundy's spills over but that's just me questioning orthodoxy again. Make up your own mind - sure - in an informed way is surely best. Jesus - I hardly said a word - you're making me paranoid now. Same applies for you as Jan. Chuck - if I've said something wrong please point it out, if anyones showing signs of paranoia it's surely you - who's afraid of books? The ones I've recommended here even have losts of pretty photographs of scrolls and temples and stuff.

  I don't go much for conspiracy theories - if you guys want me to go through any of these books page by page and point out what I agree and disagree with just say (only joking - a blokes got enough to do without thinking for you blokes too) Where did I say I agree with authors unquestioningly? For example I have quoted little from the Messianic Legacy that isn't in the first few chapters.

  G'day mooshell,

  I'm a big bad apostate from NSW (born and raised in Adelaide - walked away from 'the truth' way back in 1986) I discovered JW discussion boards on the net about 18 months ago.

  Most folk here are either disfellowshipped, disasociated or just 'weak in the truth' (stopped going to meetings and forgot to go back

  There are some wonderfull people posting here (really genuine good people) and some nutters - from Jesus preachers to egomaniacs.

  I hope you enjoy posting and make a friend or three, cheers unclebruce.

  Interesting stuff eh HP,

  I'm not certain of the Hiram Keys accuracy (I have it somewhere but have only skimmed through it) I know goes over some of the solid historical work carried out by Baigent and Lee in the books:

  The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception
  The Holy Blood and The Holy grail
  The Messianic Legacy
  Templars and Freemasons (can't remmember the exact title)
  + several others

  These best selling books blow the lid on much hidden and suppressed history. Christians go very quiet whenever I quote from them - nothing like real history to make a fundamentalist drop dead on the spot or run screaming for the holy water :)
