FACT and books have been written about it, so why not again, new Eminient Domain Laws will bring those Casinos right up on land where the flooding was the worst, then you´ll see some levee reconstruction instead of reduction. Any questions? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 12613 United Kingdom 09/21/2005 06:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | PAT ROBERTSON´S 700 CLUB HAS "FACTS" ON UFOS [CNI News thanks Errol Bruce-Knapp of UFO Updates Toronto for sending this text, dated July 31, 1996. The opening remarks were written by Michael Malone. CNI News hastens to add that the 700 Club´s view of the "facts" leaves much to be desired, even discounting their "demonic" interpretation of abduction. Most glaring is their casual dismissal of "all" crop circles as being (apparently) the work of Doug and Dave. Pleeeze! Nonetheless, some elements of the following text are intriguing -- such as the reference to Louis Farrakhan´s UFO experience, and Farrakhan´s apparent belief that the aliens "are your friends."] I´m not a fan of the 700 Club, but I was switching channels late last month, and there were scenes from ID4 being shown. I quickly learned that I was watching one of the 700 Club´s psuedo-news shows. It was on the evil of UFOs. There was a number to call for a "Fact Sheet" on UFOs. I thought it might be interesting, so I called. Yesterday [July 30] I got this Fact Sheet in the mail (see below). The 700 Club, for those who don´t know, is home to Pat Robertson. It´s one of the larger Christian organizations in America. Thinking that it´s not a powerful entity would be a mistake. One of Robertson´s spawns, Ralph Reed, is a formidable power in Washington, D.C. Reed has been attempting to distance himself from Robertson, unsuccesfully. While Reed would like to look more independant, the truth is that Robertson is the one pulling his strings. Reed´s organization is one of the strongest "pro-family" organizations lobbying in Washington and in various state capitals. It´s strongly anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-new-age, anti-paranormal, and anti-UFO. Hypnotheripists will be "happy" to know that [Reed´s group] are strong believers in the Satanic Cult Theory of repressed memories. Anyway, here is the 700 Club´s Fact Sheet on UFOs. Fact Sheet The 700 Club UFOs: A Christian Response As Featured on CBN´s Newswatch Today, April 26, 1996 The Facts America is captivated by little creatures from outer space. In fact, some even claim to have been abducted by them. Several polls say as many as half of all Americans believe in UFOs, while 1 in 7 claims to have had a UFO or paranormal experience. "They had very large heads, they had small frail bodies and really, really big black eyes," explains Kathie Davis. "I was terrified. I felt a strong sense of a presence of someone standing behind me, I was actually floating above the bed! I tried to wake my husband up; I was completely terrified," recalls Melanie Green. Are these people spaced out, or have they really been abducted? UFO expert Stanton Friedman believes them. He says thousands of similar yet unrelated abductee stories are just part of the growing evidence that is bringing a new, extraterrestrial reality down to earth. "The evidence is overwhelming that planet earth is being visited bv intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft." Lending credence to these visits are some high-profile Americans who claim they are real. Among them is Louis Farrakhan. "I was transported by a small, circular plane -- you call it a UFO -- to a great mother wheel," he claims. "Before you call me crazy, these wheels will be seen all over America. They´ll be coming down over the major cities. You will look up one day and see them, and I don´t want you to be terrified. They´re your friends." For the victims, episodes of alien abduction often become life altering. "When something like this happens to you, you have two choices," says Ron Blevens, an abductee. "You can decide you´re crazy. or you can expand your reality to include these other life forms." Recalling her abduction experience, Davis says, "I don´t want to offend people when I say this, [but] I kind of lost my taste for organized religion and found a deeper spiritual something inside of me." Not all experts, however, are so convinced. Philip Klass has written numerous books debunking the UFO phenomenon and has offered to pay $10,000 to anyone whose abduction can be verified by the FBI. "I have spent nearly 30 years looking for a case with scientifically credible evidence that the earth is being visited and have yet to find a single case that we have extraterrestrial visitors." Klass says most sightings can simply be explained away, either as a natural phenomenon, aircraft or hoax. For example, the crop circles that mysteriously appeared in British wheat fields over the past twenty years -- thought to be created by UFO landings -- were actually made by two men with planks tied to their feet. But abductee stories are not so easily debunked, especially when thousands claim similar experiences. "Either we´re being visited by extraterrestrial beings created by God, or we´re dealing with a spiritual phenomenon -- either angelic or demonic," says John Weldon. In his book, The Encyclopedia of New Age Beliefs, Weldon explains that many abductees sincerely believe that what happened to them was real. "They are very convinced that they have been taken on board a UFO, examined medically and had some kind of experiment performed on them. That´s because they´ve undergone a hypnotic experience," he says. Hypnosis, according to Friedman, plays a large part in many, if not all, abduction experiences. "It appears that the hypnosis is required because the aliens program the people not to remember." Although these experiences may be real to the abductees, Weldon is convinced that they are strictly a spiritual phenomenon. "The entities that these people run into have the capacity to manipulate their experiences to such an extent that they can´t distinguish fantasy from reality." That´s precisely why many theologians suggest that the UFO phenomena are demonic and caution people to avoid them whoever and whatever they are. Standards to live by: "For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order, if possible, to lead the elect astray" (Mark 13:22).

BLUESTAR User ID: 12613 United Kingdom 09/21/2005 06:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I’ll have to look into this more, but Platitudes & Paragons has an interesting piece about UFO’s and religious movements. One bit that I found rather surprising was that everyone’s favorite racist American Islamic leader, Louis Farrakhan allegedly is a UFO contactee: “I was transported by a small, circular plane- you call it a UFO-to a great mother wheel,” he claims. “Before you call me crazy, these wheels will be seen all over America. They’ll be coming down over the major cities. You will look up one day and see them, and I don’t want you to be terrified. They’re your friends.” That quote comes from BibleUFO.com although I plan to go and look for some supporting material, perhaps from a more reputable source. (A simple Google search for “Farrakhan UFO” yields more than a few results) The other interesting thing that Platitudes goes into a little bit is the similarity between this Farrakhan quote and the recent Prophet Yahweh UFO flap (plus a bunch of other stuff). The whole article’s worth checking out. [link to platitudesparagons.blogspot.com] |
