What seems to be going on here is a True Believer trying to get a bunch of Critical Thinkers to simply believe Hannah's tale because SHE believes it. And I'm here to tell ya, that will never, ever happen. I began life as a True Believer and gradually changed myself into a Critical Thinker, so I understand what it's like to be on both sides of this discussion. <br><br>I'll never go back to being a True Believer, because that resulted in my being exploited for most of my life by people with no consciences and no scruples. IOW, I changed under pressure, not voluntarily. Left to my own devices, I would have stayed a happy True Believer with great trust in my own judgement and very little suspicion of other people's motives. There are millions of people like that and as long as they don't run into too many sociopaths, they seem to me to do OK. Except when devious politicians exploit them, of course, but that's another thread topic.<br><br>The truth is that I perceived Hannah as probably not genuine. I'm willing to extend the benefit of the doubt to her as far as whether SHE actually believes her own story, but I still won't believe it's true, even if she does--I know too much about mind control to ever do that. Perhaps if I knew less about the UFO/alien disinformationists, I would have fallen for it, but I DO know about them and how they work and Hannah sounds like a poster child for them, to me. <br><br>bamabecky will have to produce proof that she can't and doesn't feel she has to produce, by her standards, before most of the rest of us will believe Hannah's story is for real, so the thread really doesn't seem to me to have anywhere left to go. Unless of course someone else does have proof or at least can personally vouch for elements of it.....<br><br>LilyPat <p></p><i></i>
