juggo,
May i ask what your religion is,what church you go to,and about your hollow beliefs in Christ in general.
I am a pentecostal christian. I grew up witnessing the Holy Ghost take people over in Church. The most real to me was when me and my 13 year old cousin went to church and he spoke in tongues. I was the same age. I asked him about it but I even forget what he said. I had forget Church for many years.

itisme chill out posting so much off topic stuff man(its an illuminati-cannabis thread,, maybe all plants),, el dub made a good point as well,,

anyone just in here to poke fun as though they are really intellectually superior need to just piss off really,, its old your boring and all your saying is this's crazy and thats madness,, well thanks for that!

and just because icke happens to talk about them being lizards doesnt make the rest of what he says false in anyway you have to take on each individual arguement not just tarnish a human for one thing they said,, but for some its one strike and your out,,, ironically that is the lizard brain, the brainstem firing fight or flight,, cognitive dissonance,, for some its a narrow existence of what they have in their tunnel vision,,

well, offtopic, quick.

if there do exist the god and the devil.

then according to the story, the father of creation decided to allow the devil (his oldest son and the most powerful creature in history (and invisible to boot) to prey on his other children.

without most of them being aware of it even.

its like picking sides in the dumbest family struggle since history began (ok oldest kid, here are the newest kids, worship them as you would me (greatest father in the history of the world, requiring worship)

believe in the father and you get protection from your oldest brother, who´s insane with jelousy cause the father decided to give all the inheritance to the youngest kids.

well, if they survived the attacks of the oldest brother and if they dont, All to hell my children!.

if this were Actually true?

id be forced to pick my own side and stand in the middle or apart.

that is one, retarded family. (or creator and creations if you wish to call it that (im a marionette in a cosmic powerstruggle? fuck that)

course

you can put any slant you like on that particular story and interpret it in many ways (According to what version of the stories you read..)


though the most prevalent one seems to be faith in the god and the devil as Scapegoats.

all thanks to god or blame to the devil.

makes us down here, kinda redundant.

thank you yourself.

but im afraid you are attributing too much to me :) especially the last sentence :)

but, its true, i have read much and thought much about these things, done some exploring and stuff.

but, again, lots of buts :D i am myself curious about what you dont concur with me about, since i am only a fallible human ;)

and many minds are better than one.

but undoubtedly ill say something on the subject later, i dont seem to be able to help myself lol :)

though if you wanted to, you could ask me some questions, i cant promise an answer though ;)

see you around dude, have a good one! :D

you're right; you can put any slant to the story that you want, in order to make your conclusions more in line with the story, like you just did :)

Look up sarcasm , its a UK thing.

I got it. I loved it.
We can add it to the encyclopedia of batshit.
I'd like to thank all posters on this thread but one in particular stands out.

My compilation task is almost 85% complete.:)

My guess is that the Illuminati are going to be disappointed that the field is so crowded but competition is good in the discipline...

The best will rise to the top.

This is a public forum, if you want to tell someone they are going to hell, send them a PM.

Back to the whole Illuminati thing, I believe in the forces behind governments around the world, they are called rich people. Do you ever get the feeling that these people don't have control like they used to anymore?

Like too many rich people with too many conflicting ideas, somehow they managed to let control slip away from them a bit. I still believe that Obama answers to these rich people, but I believe we have some strange opportunities to get some shit done if we keep taking action like Occupy, no matter who the president happens to be.

lost in a sea says
"and just because icke happens to talk about them being lizards doesnt make the rest of what he says false in anyway you have to take on each individual arguement not just tarnish a human for one thing they said"

I agree wholeheartedly.
In no way should a witnesses veracity in prior testimony impede the weighing of fact in subsequent testimony.
However, I submit to you the proposition that if the subject in question advances a singular preposterous imagining as fact, that the probability increases exponentially that subsequent issue will be of dubious merit.
In this he succeeds.

Mr. Ickes ideas have convinced me of only one thing...

A prominent position in the Encyclopedia of Batshit.

While I have decided to use a chronological layout for the Encyclopedia, I admit the temptation to list him after the Beatles
'Paul Is Dead' section is strong.
Ickes has a rock and roll feel to it.

bombadil , heheh yeah, but like i said, best not to take these things too seriously, who knows who is right and who is not? :)

im certainly not going to lose any sleep over it and i hope you wont either (doubt it actually :))



funnily, to what ogmolton said, ive been in hell, wasnt god that brought me back, but the love of a good woman (well, she and the cats and family)


about the illuminati and them being lizards.

dunno. while i find them certainly to be monstrous, one does not have to be some space lizard to accomplish that.


then again, stories of the naga´s and alike, have been going around for a long time..

does it make it true?

well. even if it were true.

talking to some norms.

the elite are bad people! norm "yup"

we should do something about it! norm "yup"

and they are really walking talking shapeshifting lizards! norm "eh...you mean metaphorically?" (And looks at you funny and sidles away lol)

plenty of evidence about them being human shit, about them being space aliens,

nope.

well, except from what would be publically considered very sketchy sources.

would be kinda funny for Icke and others the day we bring down the elite

and them really being space aliens.

lol

"i fucking told you so!"

is gonna be pretty loud that day

well

that and the "hzzzsss!"

Saw a presentation by David around 1980 in a small midlands town , he was an excellent orator but a showman at heart , took others ideas and made a good pre internet living from it.
He is not talking in allegory , they are supposed to really be aliens in disguise.

He is not a mentalist , but a successful businessman pretending to be one , thankfully he has little to say on canna.

Based on the evidence presented, I'm pretty confident that, at this point in time, my chances of suffering abject humiliation are low.
