  local, strange jw thinking

  i was reading today that the last star wars movie will be playing next week.

  doing a little searching, i found that there have been 12 movies in the saga total, ( box office, total (12 films): $9.323 billion.)..

  it got me thinking about when the empire strikes back came out, it was the second movie ( 1980).

  I love that 1968 quote. They cant even read their own comments?

  No they can't in many cases, because pre-1970 Awake's aren't on the online library.

  So how are they going to proclaim peace and security when in the last days the kings of the North and the South are to be engaged in battle?

  A lie can never make sense, but of course it's important to keep calling this stuff out. Good point 👍

  Slidin Fast:

  I agree with everything as that's my situation too. I just have to add that creativity in talks can still be possible, (it probably differs by area). I've been counciled once or twice, but I'm pleasantly surprised with the sheer amount of reverse witnessing I've been able to get away with over the last 4 years.

  Daisy Ridley (the actress who plays Rey in Star Wars) faces an SJW backlash

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  so, it's been said before how the left ends up eating its own.. and now we have the case of star wars actress - can i say 'actress'?

  - daisy ridley ('rey').. in a recent guardian article, she essentially denies her privilege by saying that her star wars co-star john boyega ('finn') is just as privileged as she is.. daisy ridley descends from the fitz-corbetts (landed gentry) on her mother's side; her paternal grandfather was high up in the bbc and she went to a fee-paying school.

  and john boyega grew up on a peckham council estate.

  How is she part of 'The Left' exactly?

  I think that most people by default are subject to 'the left' because in many areas it's the primarily promoted ideology, and until they do research/accept certain facts they'll be prone to it whether or not they hold strong opinions on various matters related to it. For instance, Daisey Ridley was quoted as saying that every "sane" person opposes Trump. This could be a strongly held belief, or it more likely is the assumption of what 'everybody' knows to be true, a common, basic fallacy.

  jw broadcasting sept 2019 issue commentary.

  according to the jw in the sept 2019 episode, the ukrainian soccer player andriy nesmachniy (go to 1:04:14 in the video) "abandoned" his career for jehovah????

  he retired at 32 years old, the normal retirement age among soccer players.

  True. And he overdosed on meds that he deliberately obtained through questionable means.
