  Just for fun...

  …(and for the very first time), i thought i'd post a new topic completely non-wt-related... about a subject matter i have a particular affinity for.... ..i'm a major movie geek (most people here already know that), but one of the many things i especially like are what i call "middle-finger victory lines".. they are memorable (and extremely quotable) moments of dialogue, wherein the protagonist says an extremely cool or badass comment to a very deserving defeated opponent.... ...usually (but not always) said when victory has just been literally snatched from the clutches of certain defeat, and serving as a tall, proud, and victorious flipoff to the often (but not always) shocked-at-the-sudden-turn-of-events enemy.. my ten favorites:.

  "smile, you sonofabitch.

  "sheriff brody to the shark......just before firing his last bullet into a scuba tank lodged in the charging shark's open jaws.jaws (1975).

  with the ramped up rhetoric the last few years many were totally convinced the end would be here by 2019-20 .

  and instead of making due, the org.

  has burdened the brothers once again to donate and volunteer for the new and improved patterson and video production center to be completed by 2026!

  I loved that movie. My favorite movie lines of all time... “I’m gonna take this right foot, and I’m gonna whop you on that side of your face. And you wanna know something? There’s not a damn thing you’re gonna be able to do about it.” – Billy Jack

  There's NOTHING worse than..........

  .........what?

  we've all said this about something, but what do you really think there's "nothing worse than?".

  i think there's nothing worse than trying to hold in uncontrollable laughter in a totally inappropriate situation.

  Excuse me, please, if this has been touched upon, because I have not read every comment. I tend to believe that this is true for the fact that everything WT related points to the coming of the Great Tribulation and Armageddon...like now! Publishers' cards are the way to track members of the JWs including Elders, COs and all those taking the lead. Once tracked to their congregations, finding the elders and others would be quite simple. Just an idea.

  Is Being a “Manly Man” a Bad Thing?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so much is said regarding men , in a negative way.

  shaving commercials are now lecturing us as to how bad we really are.

  men should be less masculine.

  I think the 'manly man thing', in realty, concerns men comparing themselves to other men. Especially when a bunch get together. I remember my dad, grandfather and exes being loud and boisterous when they were with their own kind, but as soon as the ladies came around, all was silent. I don't know of any women who have a list of 'manly men' traits they'd like to see in men. I think tv commercials are undermining the way children and women see men. Commercials usually portray the guy as stupid, incompetent, lazy, and unequipped to deal with any problem, so the wife and kids take over. In tv shows, the man is usually stupid. That's not real life. The 'real men' in commercials have over-developed muscles, are too good-looking and arrogant. It's tv! It's movies! It's not real! The most 'manly' traits are thoughtfulness, caring, generosity, and friendship. Hey! Those are the most 'womanly' traits too! So, what does it all mean? NOTHING! Be glad to be alive and be proud of who you are. :)

  Wow! Not really surprised, though. I don't blame you for being afraid, it's frightening out in the world. You don't want to think something horrible was happening, but you can't help it, something horrible probably was happening. I love to walk on a moonlit night, it's so beautiful and peaceful, but I have a flashlight, and my dogs with me, so I don't worry too much. But, I always look behind me, to make sure no one is there. My husband sometimes follows me in the car (lol)...he worries, but I always carry the phone with me in case I have to call him. Anyway, take care, and I am glad you are ok.

  I am so sorry for your loss, and losing a sister is a big loss. I've lost 5 sisters so I understand your pain. The pain lightens with time, and there will be many joyful days ahead. My condolences and hugs to you.
