  Fink,

  I believe the plane incident occurred at night. Had the plane crashed on land, it is very possible that one of the numerous satellites (U.S., Russia, China) would have spotted a red flash. I'm certain they were tasked with looking for such. Crashing a plane straight into the ocean would unlikely result in a red fire ball. It would leave debris, but remember that each part of it is traveling at the same rate of speed. It would likely submerge before dispersing into a debris field. TWA 800, if I recall, was a mid-air conflagartion that occurred immediately and ripped the plane apart. That scenario, based on what we have been told, isn't close to being applicable to this flight. Of course what we have been told may be subject to accuracy.

  Skeeter,

  I agree. The most plausible scenario, given what we have been told, appears to be the pilot/co-pilot quietly flying the plane into the sea or someplace else. The other pilot/co-pilot could have been quietly neutralized. Doubtful they were in on it together. Any other scenario provides too much time for some type of communication.

  Likely in the ocean. Pilots would have had time to make a distress had it been terrorists, An insane pilot/co-pilot is plausible, but this scenario brings up a few problems. If drama/conflict had occurred it is difficult to believe someone on the plane wouldn't have gotten off a phone call before the plane was flown into the sea or somewhere else. Aside from that a catastrophic breakup iin the air s the other likely scenario, which would explain the lack of an alert. This is a state of the art plane with lots of capabilities.

  THe latest news, I think from the Malaysian military, indicates the plane was changing course. Interesting case.

  Zed and Kass,

  Typical response from a non-intellectual, under-educated 'feeler believer.' You can't prove anything, you can't win any debates with the opposition or disprove any of them so you attack the oppositiion. This post could have been left alone by you and your kind. The tail end responses were desperation moves from those narcissistically trying to get the last word, thinking that, now that the intellectual discussions are over you can somehow make your stirring points. Geessh. But thank you nonetheless. Lurkers have benefited. Now you all go back and play with the other chimpanzees. I'm sorry if I've offended the chimps. Cofty is nicer than I.

  New Article on JW.org about gay people

  ok, sometimes i go to jw.org just to laugh a bit about the 'food at the proper time', and i would like to know what people think of this hillarious article 'am i attracted to the same sex.

  does that mean i am gay?'.

  this has to be one of the most remarkable pieces of logic (last paragraph of the article).. the bibles stand is not unreasonable.

  Reason No. 5 for leaving the Borg: I don't give an ef what consenting adults do. I no longer have to waste my time/brain/emotions/thoughts on such a ridiculous topic. Gay, straight, Bi, Transgender. I simply do not care.

  Davies is only on here to proselytyze and set himself up as some sort of religious guru. Narcissistic. Best ignored.

  Zed,

  Lots of lurkers are likely changing or beginning to change viewpoints. It is the nature of debate that the participants, out of pride or ignorance, almost never concede during the debate. That doesn't mean they won't sooner or later. Lots do.

  Kiss,

  Your beliefs are right down there next to feelings in the socio-evolutonary ladder. They mean little to nothing in a discussion such as this. And the bible is the best tool atheists and evolutionists have to disprove creation. Sad that you would feel the need to interject this at the end of this discussion. Narcissistic, lacking impulse control. And Kiss, I don't know what the ef you are talking about. Both of you should be ashamed jumping in at the end of this very amazing intellectual discussion with these posts.

  Joe134,

  Great point. Cults eat their own, and the JWs are the best at it. Like you I never understood why they would recruit people only to mark them, not associate with or assist them simply because they didn't turn in enough hours preaching or didn't attend all of the meetings or do all of the other nauseating things Dubs do. This OP is a perfect example of how unloving, hate filled the Borg actually is. This experience is COMMON. Lurkers, current JWs, this behavior is disgusting. Organizations look like their leaders, whether it is a country, state, political, social, business or relgious organization or a sports team.

  The rank in file act the way they act because of the leadership. If that changed the behavior of the rank in file would change.
