I can safely say there is a HUGE built-in-audience here in the U.S.
AND...just think of the PR nightmare for the GB. Think of all the questions the public will come up with about blood, pedophiles, shunning, etc.
Of course, some dubbies will take it as, "tribulation/persecution/armageddon/sky-is-falling-real-soon..." but, another percentage will be forced to start critical thinking.
There are other fundies that can benefit from a film like this, too.

My job includes electronic security & surveillance. It is true that there are a lot previously unbelievable gadgets out there being used to watch folks.
But, BUT...it's only useful if YOU are being targeted. Are you a spy? Are you dealing in something illegal that is worth a lot of $$$$$$$$ ? You could be flagged for further attention. Most likely, you'll still get away with it, tho'. Remember...we can't even catch Osama bin Laden. Or, the millions of aliens that 'land' without permission in America each year ? Then, there are the ones from Mexico, too.
Normal people just aren't on that expensive radar. Can you imagine how many people would be employed by the federal guv'ment...as lookers/listeners ?
We can't get thru (or call backs) to the SS Dept. because, they don't have enough money in their budget for more employees.
So, I suppose we can be glad the guv'ment is 'on the job'. They never get much done -- efficiently.

Even the Bible references couldn't mess up that story. In fact, it should help some that use it as a guide.
Thank you, sixy. This is going out to a few lost, depressed folks.
the most beautiful cardinal just hit the window in our den.
he's breathing, i can't tell if anything is broken.
i'd check a little closer but i don't want to get pecked or something.
Yep, the silhouettes work really well, especially ones of Owls. That predators shape is indelibly imprinted in a bird's brain to say DANGER!
You can also get a 18'' plastic Great Horned Owl at garden centers, even at Wal-Mart, that you put in your garden to scare the birds away. We have a couple and they work great...even stray dogs and cats won't come on our porch when they see it. (<--a bat owl?)

courts to sort jehovah's witness blood battle when kids involved.
sun jan 27 2008. by terri theodore.
Barbara, thanks for posting this. I was about to do the same thing.
I really like this guy:
While the courts long ago decided that adults can refuse treatment, he said society won't view children in the same way.
"You could follow your wacky views right over the cliff, if it's you and you're a competent adult," Schafer said. "But you can't push your kids over the cliff."
Schafer argues that in the case of the 14-year-old girl who risks being an outcast from her Jehovah's Witness community, the decision to have a blood transfusion would be very difficult.
"Don't underestimate the coercive power of, not just one's immediate family, but all the friends of one's family, all one's relatives, the people they see in Sunday School.
This is a life and death issue," Schafer said.
I lost my mom over this idiocy and I was one of the idiots (& my now x-wife) who refused blood for our newborn at one time. I'd say we got lucky, because our child lived. The courts were ready to save our baby. The skill of the doctors, not a god saved our little one.
And ...we were Kingdom Hall Heros, too ! Go figure, huh ?
most of us have read that 1968 awake article that clearly states their belief that 1975 was going to be the end of the "system of things.
" i decided to check out the watchtower library just to see if this article appeared.
it didn't, but i noticed something very strange.

anybody here ever tried the body for life 12 weeks transformation challenge?.
well, i will be starting day one tomorrow.. .
basically you take some "before photos" of yourself, along with your weight, body fat percentage, size measurements etc.
Vinney,
Thanks, I need that motivation. I haven't looked at the site, but I will. I gotta do something. I have gained a lot of weight about 9 years ago after a bad car accident. I ended up with 5 major surgeries in 3 years, including my back.
Before, one of my hobbies was rock & mtn. climbing. Most people would never believe that now. Because of the 2 rotator cuff surgeries, I'm probably never do that again, but I wanna get in better shape.
WLG, damn...ya' done good. I would have never guessed you were out-of-shape at one time. You look good. I'm going to follow your lead with the chin up bar. That's a really good idea for myself and the Mz. When ya' get older you gotta go pee more often anyway...so...this can be a good thing.
Thanks.
blood issue makes the ap.
new york (ap) - the jehovah's witnesses will continue to reject members who defy the group's prohibition of most blood transfusions, an official of the denomination said.
spokesman james pellechia dismissed as misleading news reports that the longstanding policy had been reversed.
I'm honored to 2nd that !
One thing the WT Society never surprises me on...is how deviously clever they are when it comes to getting their own way.
Are devious semantics something, "Jesus would do...?"
before i start, please don't buy your airline tickets yet!
i haven't nailed down all of the technical details but i am targeting saturday may 3rd, 2008. .
the main thing i need to sort out is the location.
Crumpet mentioned a May Fest...and we are ready to eat some more mudbugs. And I can attest to authentic Louisiana taste, I was raised 90 miles south of New Arlens...in a high spot in the swamp.
Good Eatin' ! Y'all come now !

thank you, danny, for that information on the sale of brooklyn properties.
i commented on dr. brenda upton's lawsuit against the society.
below is further pertinent information:.
BTTT to see if anyone has an update:
Are the Uptons still loyal to Mudder WT ?
Did the WT appeal the ruling ?
Does the WT now pay for Workman's Comp insurance for Bethel, CO's, DO, missionaries?
