The Theory Of Everything

by 88JM in

question: should able-bodied actors play characters with disabilities?.

i got myself into a bit of a quandary over a discussion on a facebook group.

it was partly based on this article in the guardian:.

Should able-bodied actors play characters with disabilities? - yes, of course they should. In similar vein, if the director of The Theory Of Everything found a wheelchair-bound actor who could portray Stephen Hawking better that Eddie Redmayne did, they should go with the disabled actor.

It's argued that it's wrong to celebrate Eddie Redmayne "cripping up" - ridiculous. I've learnt a new PC term, 'cripping up'. These fairtrade coffee-sipping tosspots really do have too much time on their hands. It's very difficult to take The Guardian seriously.

Are we heading for III World War?

by abiather in

the leaders of russia, germany, france and ukraine are slated to meet in minsk (the belarusian capital) tomorrow to discuss a ukrainian peace plan!

some countries such as hollande believe there is going to be a total war.

when they met last year in the same place, they had put forward a peace plan (a ceasefire, withdrawal of artillery, prisoner exchanges and other concessions) that were never fully implemented!

Abiather - nuclear weapons act as a deterrent. Just about the only people crazy enough to use them are muzzie fundamentalists like Iran. Thankfully every time Iran progresses in nuclear projects Israeli fighter planes bomb the facilities.

Christian Nationalists blah, blah, blah ...

Reconstructionists blah, blah, blah ...

The OP was talking about British MP and UKIP leader Nigel Farage. This has NOTHING to do with American religious nuts.

I've never heard Nige talk about the death penalty or God's law in the OT. He usually drones on about the EU, immigration or Islam.

Nige Farridge made some good points in the vid in the OP. When he said 'we must stand up for Judeo-Christian culture' I don't think he had in mind stonings and doing f*ck all on the Sabbath, somehow ...

Is the UN really the disgusting thing?

by StarTrekAngel in

been dwelling on this for a while.

was there any particular history on this or anywhere where the wt picked up someone else's doctrine?.

in most cases, the bible uses the word "disgusting thing" to refer to idols, idolatry and false religion.

I'm fairly ignorant of the UN. I've read about it doing good things; I've read opinion pieces saying that it has faults that need sorting out.

But calling it the 'disgusting thing' to shoehorn it into Bible prophecy? Sounds like WTS-inspired lunacy to me.

Interesting OP.

With all the various issues and problems with multiculturalism in the UK, perhaps some form of Christian culture might be an alternative. Obviously, it would have to fit in with 21st century values and would be a nod to Britain's past. Looking at other cultures around the globe, people could definitely do a lot worse than a reformed Christian culture.

Hello

jw
friends

hi all, i haven't posted here in a while, felt like a break and have been insanely busy, i don't think too much about jw stuff now, but wanted to pop in anyway.

have i missed anything recently?.

i am very happy, much to my surprise, i think it would be nice to go back to the end of 2013 and tell the depressed and lonely version of me that he can't even comprehend how good life could be.
