In June, Rep. Eric Burlison, a Missouri Republican serving on the House Oversight Committee, appeared on BlazeTV’s Prime Time with Alex Stein, where he discussed his belief that giants once existed. Burlison told Stein he was scheduled to be at “NephCon 2025,” a conference focused on fringe topics including the biblical Nephilim —figures in Genesis that some interpret as the giant offspring of angels and human women.
He credited Timothy Alberino’s podcast with sending him “far down the rabbit hole,” eventually reaching claims that the Smithsonian Institution is hiding evidence, the bones of past giants that lived on the Earth. Burlison suggested that, as a member of the Oversight Committee, he could investigate the Smithsonian.
I get it. It’s an understandable desire, that there’s somehow more to this and a point to our suffering. Be careful with the Witnesses though. If you’re grieving lost loved ones, they’ll pick up on it and try to leverage that to swindle you in. I truly believe most religious people mean well, but the Watch Tower Society (the people behind the JW’s) are incredibly predatory and outright teach their followers to leverage people’s grief if they pick up on it.
I know everything about the Jehova’s Witnesses but thanks for the warning. They are a dangerous group indeed
