  A question regarding RC/DC changes

  by no-zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with the rumored changes or deletion of the regional/district conventions ... does anyone know if the organization will cancel them all together or just reduce their duration from 3 to 2 days, so they can be slotted into local assembly halls easier?.

  no-zombie.

  ... well, obviously not rey (daisy ridley) from the latest star wars films.

  she's a complete mary sue.

  but, before hollywood tried to force sjw propaganda down our throats, there were lots of powerful, legit female characters in film.. here are some of my favourites .... ripley (sigourney weaver): i though this character was great.

  And, thinking about it, young Anakin in TPM pisses me off as much as Rey.

  Lets add to thats list: young anikin and every other character in all three movies except palpatine, maul and young obi wan. Every single character. All of them were half ass written, poorly developed, paper thin shells designed to nothing more than be props for a half baked plot that cared more about cgi than story telling.

  A special place in hell awaits lucas for the jar jar debacle.

  Just to go along futher with td, a good female should be hard to identify. Why? Because her being good really isnt a function of vaginas or breasts. Its good acting, good character development etc etc...

  an example that was mentioned earlier: furiousa. That she is a chick is irrelevant to the movie. Shes a good character, male or female, shes well acted, well developed and in an overall strong movie. If we want to add in a layer that she is a woman rescuing young women from sexual slavery then thats a bonus.

  Another example cited: kill bill. The whole movie was centered on female assassins who turned on one of their own and her revenge.... it could have worked with male leads... but we never stopped to think about it. Uma and cast did such a great job who cares????? Ditto for alien. The riply character didnt have to be male or female. We didnt care! It worked because weaver was great.

  On the character of rey, the distain has nothing to do with her being a chick anymore than hating kylo is because hes a guy. They suck all around, as has been gone into in far too much detail already.

  Its interesting to me that uni STARTED a thread highlighting good female leads and yet seems to be taking heat from you for not respecting women? Im seeing a failure in logic.

  You can 'in their prime' all you like. Luke has full knowledge of them 'in their prime' even if he met them later.

  😂😂😂 clearly he dosent. He didnt know them in their prime. You can stick your fingers in your ears and shout ‘nanananananana’ all you want, it dosent change anything.
  

  I've already covered the inconsistency. It's like the Borg

  Yep, on that we agree, and ive already taken my position. I dont support or accept ever evolving contradictory “truth”.

  Im not sure i could exactly define a txt book ‘mary sue’ either, thats why in the discussion regarding rey i prefer to define specifically whats wrong the character, and kylos, for that matter.

  Is this a Star Wars thread or Favorite female heroes film stars thread ? But I digress

  sorry, i didnt realize you being ignored. Was there an actress you wanted to mention that you were prevented from discussing?

  I missed out Yoda. But, based on a qualitative statement by a person who had met ALL of them, Rey is No. 2 and Kylo is No. 1.

  ok, nonchalantly dismissing the fact that you missed the most powerful samurai, sorry “jedi”, on your list discredits you quite a bit.

  Let me also point out a huge flaw in your logic: luke didn't know any of them at their peak. obi wan was an old man, so old that tarkin said “surely he must be dead by now”. Vader himself said “your powers are weak, old man”. Vader had been nurfed tremendously after mustafar, so much so obi wan described him as “more machine than man now”. He was no longer capable of besting the emperor. Yoda was months from dying of old age.

  Luke knew none of them at their peak.

  According to starwars lore, anikin was pure power. A vergence. You dont have to like it. You dont even have to accept it, but thats the way it was written and your refusal to deal with it only emphasizes my point. The newer movies have completetly undone the lore of the originals and when someone tries to point it out fan boys of the newer movies melt down. Again, dont blame me for understanding and following along with the plot lines of the originals and being disastified with the changes of the new movies. Dont blame me for seeing the lack of consistency and the inability to stay true to the world originally created.

  Some people getting really wound up about children's cartoons here.

  1) its not a cartoon, its live action.

  2) its not for children, its historical fiction. Its based on actual events that happened a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

  Try to keep up.

  Did Your Taste In Music Change After You Woke Up?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after i awoken from the cult, i went through the normal process of not knowing who i was and what my tastes where.

  looking back this was a wonderful time in my life because i experimented and tried different things and now i like or dislike things because i personally like/dislike them - not because i've been told they're good or bad.. black pudding is an example - it's made of blood and is a popular addition here in britain to fried breakfasts.

  i tried it for the first time last year and i can confirm that it is indeed revolting.

  2. scandals

  i stumbled upon this charitable status page for canada and thought that i would look for the watchtower society of canada.

  as they say the report is incomplete because it lacks the normal auditors process details.

  but donations received $64.4 canadian dollars!
