    You HAVE to watch the movie "THE GIVER"! 

    It is simply an awesome movie for every thinking witness, or those trying to break free from the org's hold on us.

    I wont give away too much, but the concept of the film is mind blowing! 

    Utopia vs Reality etc... Conformity vs Individuality and Humanity... etc

    (It will especially ring true for any who have spent time in bethel or extra "priveleges of service")

    Too bad most JWs think they do have individuality and free will.

    It's available on Xfinity On Demand.  We watched it a couple of weeks ago.  Great movie.

    The book is better. Also read:

    Anthem, Any Rand (Lois Lowry was clearly influenced by this book in writing The Giver)

    Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell

    Animal Farm, George Orwell

    The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne

    Hmmm.   Jeff Bridges.  Meryl streep........and it was already out and gone?  Weird why I haven't heard of it.  Seems like a straight to on demand title. 

    It always makes me question whether it will be good when that happens.  that probably isn't fair.

    It's very thought provoking problemaddict..... Trust me, you will like the concept, especially in view of our witness background!
