I saw The Last Jedi yesterday ... spoilers!

by LoveUniHateExams in

yeah i saw ep 8 tlj yesterday.. first off, the special effects - a combination of cgi and practical - are fantastic, although with a budget of $200 million i expect them to be.. there are many issues i have with this movie and here's one: leia flying through space, i mean, wtf?!.

yes, we know leia is luke's brother and so has some force-sensitivity - she talked telepathically to luke in the empire strikes back.. apart from that, she's never really used any abilities she may have or been taught the ways of the force ... and now she's flying through space!

xd.

Disney debunked that rumor about stand alones being put on hold the other day.

Force Awakens, while fun, was a big disappointment for me: to derivative and leaning on '80s nostalgia like everything else is today. TLJ, while having g some fluff that could've been discarded, had more meat on it's bones and original twist, definitely closer to what a Lucas production would've been. Loved Rogue One, thought it was amazing. Solo wasn't a masterpiece or essential, but it was a very good, solid film. And BTW, Return of the Jedi is my favorite of the originals 😁

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Kicked Out Of Restaurant For Supporting Trump

i think it’s ridiculous to kick people and families out of a restaurant because of politics.

I think it's ridiculous to kick people out of a country because of their religion or where they've been born.

Come on now, you know full well that isn't the reason. There are many immigrants, I know some personally, that work hard and do everything by the book. The ones I know are even more responsible and contribute to society more than some that were born in America. In that case, nobody cares about their religion and where they were born. The problem comes with illegals who purposely try to play the system, contribute little, leech much, and often add to crime. In the words of many a circuit assembly chairman, 'We have a deficit'.

How to spot awake JW at a convention

by Akid48 in

i cant spot one to save my life, so i wanted to now if any one could me figure out how..

Stan, that's the best one yet 👍 It can easily be explained as an accident.

the fellow PIMO should reply back with "Tight Pants Tony" or some other expression only those awakened would know.

A regular pioneer in my hall used that phrase "tight pants Tony" jokingly, and on another occasion she used the phrase "don't drink the Kool aid". And I'm pretty sure she's all in.

Has Your JW Background Benefited You In Any Way?

i would like to think there was some good that resulted from our being a witness at one time..

Doubting Bro:

Allowed me to realize that there is no true religion. I was already convinced that every other religion was false and beyond redemption. So when I applied their lens to my own religion, I saw they were no different!

Exactly, agree with every word. That's a two edged sword the WTS has to accept. If they want to teach us to think critically of and rip apart other Faith's, is it any wonder that eventually some of us will stop and do the same to our own belief system? Once you see something it can't be unseen.

I Ain't Got No Religion No More ... (But I Like to Get Myself Some Gospel Music)

by Simon in

i love gospel music.

i don't feel like i need to believe in "jebus" to appreciate the music.

i can't go into a gospel church because i might just get religion again - that or i'll be grabbing the mic on be on the stage waving my hands and praising the lord.. i particularly like dylan's gospel period.

Happy 1,000th topic BTW Simon

Not the same obviously (no red stone in the middle) but his ring undeniably has the two V shapes. And I laugh at conspiracy theories, so not sure what to think. Maybe optical illusion.

Review: 2018 "Be Courageous!" convention

by neat blue dog in

friday and saturday were for the most part pretty light, not too culty or doctinal, could easily suck in the unsuspecting.

there were a couple of hypocritical lines that i took note of however.

at one point the speaker said, "if your boss fires everyone who disagrees with him but promotes everyone who agrees with him, you might be tempted to agree with him just to keep your job.

Hold on for next year then . . .
