Lol... only a cult can engender fear over something as good as “peace”. Perhaps you could tell your mom not to worry, humans have great capacity to kill and the world has many hot spots still.

Mother is terrified over talks of peace.
by Searching injust spoke with my mother about the summit for north and south korea, her face turned a ghastly pale and she refused to talk to me about it afterwards.
i know exactly what is on her mind, and i'm not sure if i can say or do anything to assuage her fears about this being a fulfillment of prophecy.
any suggestions on what i could perhaps tell her to try and steer her from her line of thinking?

Action Music (in movies) in the past VS the present
by TerryWalstrom inunderstanding action musicin the past vs the present______.
in the golden and silver ages of hollywood, composers with classical, romantic era training created action music out of thematic (tuneful) motifs.
these catchy 'tunes' were used as 'bricks' whilst the orchestral techniques of arranging and orchestration were the 'mortar' binding and building the overall structure towering above mere image+sound effects.the result gave an audience something i will call "an intellectual access" to onscreen "meaning" in the story.what's that?a "tune" is an organizing principle.a tune has a beginning, middle, and end.a tune "tells" us something.what remains is "the way it is spoken.

Sorry vidiot, it is. I posted the relevant pages in the questions for baptism. I would argue its watered down and incomplete, that a potential witness cannot really understand what it means, but it is there.

Totally agree thay modern movies have gotten away from a meaningful original soundtrack. Most movies seem to use music that is already popular, meaning they take songs already created and use them as a premade sound track.
i think, however, you have glossed over a very very important composer in john williams. Williams has composed some of the most incredible and memorable sound tracks in all of movie history. He is unquestionably the greatest composer in movie history and you cant tell the modern history of hollywood without talking about him. In other words, you cant talk about modern movie sound tracks and dissmiss the best and most prolific sound track composer.

I am including a few screen shots of the book “organized to do j****’s will”. There is a section on disfellowshipping. Also in the questions for baptism there a few that deal with it as well. In theory witnesses know about it before they get baptized. The problem is, as Simon noted, nobody u derstands (not really) what leads to it and how devastating it can be to a cult member. There is some ephemeral belief that god will look out for you and never allow you to be unjustly df’d and the older men are all good guys and wouldnt take a personal grudge out on you like that etc etc

The org is creatong a digital data base wit members names... supposedly. There was a video regarding it posted not long ago. We will have to see how it plays out but its hardly nefarious. This is 2018. As i said on the other topic, my grocery store has more info on me than what the org is proposing.
