Likely right. He did sound pretty authentically scared, though.

Certainly understand wanting to make yourself undesirable. Have you read the book about resisting abductions?

No, I haven't, but it would be of interest. It might also be of interest to note that I was not religious at the time of the abduction. I was, but not in the Judeo-Christian sense, anyway. It was on a camping trip, as well, which corroborates Chris' earlier post.

BTW, I have no memory of the abduction itself, which was witnessed by someone else, who is no longer with us. Big help, right? LOL!

I tracked down

HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST ALIEN ABDUCTIONS

at this link:

http://www.abductions-alien.com/resource.html

It is often merciful to not remember some things. Any marks on your body? Have you had an MRI for medical reasons since then?

How much missing time?

Thanks for your kind reply.

QX: It won't terminally surprise me if virtually all, if not all, of the reported ET types turn out to be evil in their allegiance. QX: On the other hand, I personally don't think that 100% of them are. For one, there are some very small percentage of reports which describe very Biblical angelic forces as ET's.

That's the crux of it then. If you think the Bible, and God's plan of salvation, all fit within a context that allows for "good and bad aliens," then what am I supposed to say? "Tread lightly," perhaps?

Interesting.

Don't like aberant humans but love to help create or cause them?

Sounds like the commies.

Mostly I think Americans get fat because we like to eat tons because our soul hunger is so acute and so many have little capacity or exercise of self-control due to plenty lack of training in such in earlier years.

Have said so many times I assume everyone knows. Sorry. I'll be 57 25 Feb 2004.

Male, divorced since around 1981ish. no kids. home to NM after 15 years in China and Taiwan which I miss greatly--helping step-dad care for my mother who has Alzheimers.

The demographics on abductees is of some interest.

That's ridicuolous, Chris.:) What attracts them is intelligence. When they look down on the earth, they see flashes of energy and intelligence.

I personally think all ET's are to be avoided when there's a choice.

When there's not a choice, I hope I have the presence of mind to enquire whether they believe Jesus came in the flesh etc. and serve The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob . . .

Though, I assume Holy Spirit within me will have alerted me already if not beforehand.

I also pray for God's mercy to avoid such encounters. One just doesn't know for 100% certain what all may transpire as part of God's plan in this era!

Yea. Have sometimes thought my birthdate was signficant in some way. But I have no clue in what way.

I also have a fantasy or impression that somehow my lineage may connect back to Joseph. I am part Cherokee.

Here is a footnote I think I can give you off the study I received July 9, 1999, about alien abduction demographics if that is the word. This is USA only but some Canadian matter is incl incidentally in the body of the report as well...

By living environment [NOT necessarily abduction site]:

Dense Urban area: 18% of AW; 8% of AV.

Closely spaced single family homes: 35% of AW; 23% of AV

1 acre + per house area: 16% of AW; 21% of AV

Small town, village: 20% of AW; 22% of AV

Farm, remote area, camping areas, natl forests etc:

11% of AW; 26% of AV

Next footnote

Region of the Country

Minnesota strip 3.3% of AW; 28% of AV

13 Southern States 28% of AW; 17% of AV

Calif N of 38th deg, or rest of USA north of 42nd deg:
but excludes MN strip
13% of AW; 18% of AV

Calif S of 38, rest S of 42... 56% of AW; 37% of AV
but not the 13 S states!

Canada if it had been incl: 13.5% of AW; 6% of AV

Should you ever encounter such a situation, say out loud, "Jesus is in control, here, Jesus is in control!"

They hate that.

Here's an interesting book review from my last link to you above.




Alien Encounters: The Deception Menace by James L. Thompson

Review

September 11, 1997
Author warns of deceitful and "evil" nature of aliens.
Aliens and their craft have become cultural icons. Bookstore shelves and television programming are packed with tales and accounts of seemingly extraterrestrial contact with our planet. I decided to apply my legal research techniques and analytical abilities to this subject that appeared (from a "non-believer's" viewpoint) to lack credibility, scholarly analysis, or evidentiary foundation. As I interviewed the victims of alien encounters I was uncomfortable to discover that my religious interpretations became paramount. Although I was not the first to discover the "spiritual" parallels of the alien encounter, I believe I am the first to articulate the profound spiritual evil present in the phenomenon, from a non-fundamentalist viewpoint anyway. The UFO/alien abduction phenomenon is sophisticatedly deceptive and shows clear evidence of evil intent. Alien messengers are anti-Christian and anti-God, yet they speak of religion and spiritualism nonstop. I have analized the phenomenon in a quasi-scholarly fashion, and have provided the reader with a solid analysis sufficient to enable each to make his or her own conclusion.

My conclusion is this: the phenomenon is the same that has plagued and deceived humankind from the very beginning; it hates humans and is tricking us into voluntarily divesting ourselves of our autonomy; the phenomenon will continue to invade our social psyche and individual privacy as a tremendous spiritual battle escalates; and it is closely tied to apocalyptic scenes of biblical proportions. Whatever the UFOs and aliens are, they are not what they want us to believe they are. They are not our friends.

Say whatever you think fitting.

. . . HOPEFULLY in a collegial, brotherly tone that avoids classifying me as an idiot, evil, pagan.

Yeah, I could have written that one too. The older I get the less I like them.

Whatever they are, they certainly do seem to be evil. And I pray not to see them again, or at least, have anyone report they have seen me adbducted. Now that I've purposely made myself less intelligent, all seems calm.
