  Big eyes- jw's all excited about the movie

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those still attending.

  have you seen an excitement go through the dubs about the tim burton film big eyes?

  they reckon it will give a "fine witness".. i've seen it and found it really irritating, basically margaret keane is such a timid mouse that she allows her husband to take all the credit for her work.

  The searcher, yes that was my thought too when I was forced to watch the film... How much has the WT got out of this vunrable woman?

  I think she's about 99 now so there's no way she will leave dispite "the truth" having changed completely while she been in it.

  And I wonder who gets all her $$$$$$ when she does die?

  I'm sorry to hear the daughter has been assimilated too, I noticed in the film it showed the daughter sitting on the lawn chatting with a group of friends and listening to the radio. Her mothers response to this is that she is worried about these friends of her daughters because they seem "rather fast" (!) Seriously? Chatting and listening to the radio?

  Which is probably why all the dubs are so excited about it

  Are You "Technically" Still A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even if you don't regard yourself as a practicing jw, some may view you simply as inactive, a lost sheep, etc.. if you were baptized but not disfellowshipped or disassociated, you may still be a jw---right?

  your thoughts please..

  To others I look and act like a jw but inside my head and heart I am not.

  So yes I suppose technically I am still a jw

  I have noticed amongst the older jw's that they seem so prudish about sex that they almost can't bear to even acknowledge its existence. Its like they have classified it as demonic.

  One elderly sis I know will only refer to sex as (whisper it -"it")

  They seem to think shagging will bring about Armageddon all by itself

  Is going clear worth watching?

  i've been trying to wade through all two and a half hours of going clear.

  thus far it seems to not criticize scientology to much?.

  thoughts?

  Ok so I watched all of it. It took me about 20;mins to get into it.

  Very worth worth, so many parallels to the WT

  One thing I didn't understand was at the end they said that membership of ST isgoing down while its money goes up and a strategy of ST is that they are buying up loads of real estate. I don't understand this? Why are they buying up loads of real estate?

  BTW I do see the parallels between them and the WT in that regard too, but I don't understand why they are doing it?

  The two key components of religion... If removed?

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm reading a very interesting book right now " why our children will be atheist ".

  i've just started the beginning of the book but it starts off with a history of how religion developed through the ages of mankind.. one of the points it make is that religion was invented for two reasons 1) to alay fears about death and the future 2) to create a bond between other people.. i found this thought to be very interesting and i wonder if the need for those two components were removed from mankind would religion disappear too?.

  part 1the lost one i will search for.

  Yes but what the WT never ever mentions is that the Shepard was not keeping sheep as pets but rather to take way their coat and eat!

  Its a rather good analogy of what the GB want to do to the rank and file... Strip them of everything and then consume them!

  How much sediment would have been moved in Noah's flood?

  by Zoos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i flew over this crate yesterday on my return home from las vegas.. .

  they say this crater was created by an asteroid about 50,000 years ago.

  then about 6000 years ago, presumably, god wiped out all life on earth with a global flood.. how much sediment would have been moved around during that flood.

  End of mysteries. In Gilgamesh I believe there was even an ark of sorts that came to rest on the top of a mountain?
