DHL, i read about the same "zoo" theory on the SETI site, that we just might be the new neighbours on the block, I'll try and find the article and paste it up here.
here it is:

well i don't believe in ufo's and abductions and that sort of thing but i do believe more that there must be extraterrestrial intelligence than i believe in the existance of a god.. i used to visit this site to read about the thoughts of serious scientists on the subject, it's the us-government sponsored project of seti:.

ok, in the ever-changing world of ?new light?
who is going to be the new ?wild beast??
i was just watching the news and the un is in some pretty bad trouble, teenage prostitution scandal, oil for food scandal, ect.. it seems that they are slipping quickly into insignificance.
I'm a European and I like the EU, I also like the UN as a forum for the nations of the world to talk and debate in civil manner. I think if the UN was to be abandoned (which would make me very sad), there should be at least a new official international forum for debate on international matters. I think the UN is more important in keeping worldpeace and stability than many people realize...
As for the beast...how many heads does the GB have again?
Well I know the WT doesn't respect scientists one bit, saying that they don't believe in God and all that...

Jula, I agree, It's just to vast to not harbour intelligent beings. But I don't think they'd be much smarter then we are, they could be at a diffrent, technolical and spiritual higher point of civilisation. What i mean to say is that many of todays people could be considered way more smart than those living 200years ago, but this is merely a result of us having access to more accurate knowledge and science.
Also I think an xtraterrestrial civilisation might have moved beyond radio as means to transmit messages, which would make the SETI-program useless (since they look for radiosignals). In fact the Aliens might be actively hiding themselves from us to avoid unneccesary confusion on earth.
Note: The Seti-program is currently NOT sponsored by the US but by donations from individuals and private foundations.

our species is evolveing consciousness for its survival,,our minds will expand to greater understandings because our spiecies is driven by evolutionary forces to love it when we understand things.. this drive is more powerful than sex.
and i really beleive our species will survive and we will use modern technology(also a product of evolution) to help us because that is what it is there for we made it and we will use it.
we are driven to learn and i think we will even tame the ego, to keep learning more and more.
interesting Frankie..but this mindexpanding might go so slow that we hardly notice, though things are moving ever faster in this time of age.
One thing I can think of that would blow me away is a contact with an extraterrestrial civilisation, yeah that would definitaly blow me way
at pentecost, pope john paul ii could not speak when giving his traditional blessing.
many people are impressed by this pope because he does not resign.
they campare it to christ's sufferings.
I think he has a feeding tube inserted in his belly and since he can't speak I think it's time to remove it
the new storage system has been tested reading and overwriting 10,000 times, showing it has what it takes to be used as reusable storage.
it writes onto a polymer film at a density of 1000 gb per square inch.
wow!.
1 terabyte......I think you can put a medium public library on that. Also it's not that much if you consider going to the computershop now and you'll find out that most computers are fitted with a 200gigabyte harddisks. It's about a thousandfold increase in about 12 years (200meg was the average back then) hmmm, I wonder if we'll have 200 terabyte harddisks in 12 years from now, ....I think we will actually.

I used to be a seascout..sailing and stuff, it was really great. Also I used to play soccer for a couple of years when I was around 7 years old. I remember one of my teammates telling me that one of the trainers abused children sexually. I soon quit the club after that.
I always thought childabuse happened everywhere, also within the Jehovah's witnesses.. What makes it worse when it happens within the witnesses is that their beliefs are used to make the children keep their mouth shut. By instilling the fear that's so characteristic of the JW cult.
It does happen everywhere, but whereas in the past childrens story's where doubted, now the world is taking the problem more and more serious which leads to more people taking the chance of coming out with their story, which leads to more mediacoverage, which disgust us but makes the authorities to take a more proactive stance towards the problem. Well that's my take on these things. I actually wish I wouldn't be confronted with such disturbing realities...but then I wouldn't be helping the victims by denying the truth that is.

the witnesses had a coherent and comforting system before apostates came along and challenged many of "the watchtower's" core beliefs.
over blood, the un and other issues the "watchtower" has responded to apostates by clarifying/changing positions.
many firm believers have been led away from the faith by the active apostate community on the web.
The Watchtower of Babel caught fire allright and the fire is out of control! Save as many witnesses as you can and hook them up to internetpowered breathing equipment While the firebrigade is trying to save the neighbouring buildings, the GB still refuse to leave the building, don't they know that they are in mortal danger? to be continued.......
