...totally freak out and drop something if your child fails to say "please.".
http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/please-thank-you/.
the woman is clearly a nervous wreck, and very easily offended.. if this is her reaction to caleb forgetting his manners, i shudder to think how she will cope if she ever finds him doing drugs.. .
ADCMS said: At least WT was able to resurrect Ricardo Montalban to do the narration.
I was thinking more Antinio Banderes as - 'Puss...'N Boots'
That video frame of Caleb that Oubliette posted reminds me of how Puss...'N Boots is shown when he is suckering in Shrek.
this was the first time in almost eight years i have had a conversation with a jw .
we were on vacation last week at my son and daughter in laws home .
one morning the doorbell rang and as i went to answer it my daughter in law said she thought it was witnesses .
Nugget said: Isn't it interesting that witnesses do not know what their current beliefs are.
I often say that JW's don't actually have beliefs.
As JW's must change whatever was held as a belief whenever the WT changes its view on a matter, any "belief" is not truly personal but is dictated by a corporation which demands compliance and loyalty to itself under the quise of loyalty to God.
The only true belief that JW's hold to is that the WT is always right no matter what and JW's must remain loyal to whatever the WT Society demands.
i've run into a problem and have some questions..... i'm sure most of you have seen the video on jwstruggle's youtube channel regarding my book i wrote in 2002 and the problem with the elders on getting it published.
well after my contract ran out in 2003, i retained all the rights and they told me that all left over copies would be destroyed except the few legal copies being sold on amazon, barnes & noble, alibris, etc.. so, because of the video someone asked about my book and i said that it was no longer available, they wrote back and told me it's all over the internet.. come to find out, a large canadian publisher bought out my original publisher in 2007 and 'accidently' downloaded the original file onto their computers and started selling my book [hard copies & digital] without a contract.. my question is, anyone know what the going asking price for a quiet settlement is for this type of thing?.
i know i'm not dan brown or clive cussler and probably won't get millions, but i don't want to get short-changed either.. thanks.
How many copies were sold by the Canadian publisher? The wide range you were quoted suggestes that a fine maybe based on the number sold or profits from the sale of the book.
As your Attorney is not suggesting a settlement amount leads me to wonder if he/she wants the other side to first suggest an offer.
Remember that the fines you were quoted is the outcome of litigation between the parties. Litigation usually consumes considerable time and substantial monitary resources.
Any offer or counter-offer should take into consideration the time and monitary cost the other side would need to spend in fighting a settlement.

You need a Literary Lawyer! Not only are you dealing with your creative rights within your own country but also your rights internationally.
The best time to have retained a Literary Lawyer was prior to signing a contract with your publisher. Now that is in the past so you need a properly trained specialist to act for you in the aftermath.

mcmillan & wife with rock hudson is what i just saw on tv.
watching rock hudson kiss his wife while smoking a cigarette is pretty funny.
and he solved a murder case as he lit up another cigarette at some wealthy person's party.....good stuff!.
New hope:
Benny Hill was shown here in Canada and I loved that show although it became too repetitive and predictable. Monte Python was also regularly broadcast as was "On The Buses".
I recall that "Steptoe and Son" was remade in the US as "Sanford and Son".
Some of the other shows you list may also have been Americanised and retitled. Although not fitting the 60s or 70s criteria, a US version of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" was made but I've also seen a version from the UK but I don't know where the show originated.
Looking at the names you list, I suspect "H. R. Puff 'N Stuff" was probably a remake of the puff name you mention.

One silly show that was kind of addicting was "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman"
A game show that was silly but fun was as Minimus mentioned, Hollywood Squares but I think best with Paul Lynde.
Match Game was great and the clips on YouTube are still funny and silly.
Also silly was the Gong Show
Canadians have our own brand of SILLY including kids shows "The Hilarious House of Frankenstein" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82Ub1G7byLw , Uncle Bobby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moVmHzcawvw, and the "Friendly Giant" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLuo4IJg9U0 among others.
Canadian game shows include ones such as "Party Game" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-qXHQ4vijw
when i got home today from work my wife showed me a 5 page letter from our oldest son.
he basically said he does not what anything to do with us because of all the wrong things we did as parents to him and his brother.
he blames us for not being there for him and we are toxic parents.
TotallyADD,
I'm glad you're familiar with the book and that you already recommended it to your son. As it appears he uses terms from the book but makes stipulations that you must do before you 'might' be acceptable to him, it seems he cherry picked what he wanted from the book but has not benefitted from the advice that was intended to be conveyed.
Perhaps you could remind him you have already made major changes in your life when you realized matters were becoming unbalanced and unhealthy and thereby sought the assistance and advice of a professionally trained therapist. He might acknowledge the positive changes you've already made although he may not want to due to the influence or fear of his wife.
As you willingly made changes you found to be necessary, the onus is on him to somehow deal with past issues that cannot be undone. These are his issues to deal with and if he cannot do it himself, he should seek the help of a professional & unbiased therapist.
Incog

Although you have already made positive changes in your life, a book that you may find beneficial is: Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Susan Forward .
Here is a link to Amazon but the book maybe available to borrow from your local library. http://www.amazon.com/Toxic-Parents-Overcoming-Hurtful-Reclaiming/dp/0553381407
Although it may appear from the title that the book places blame on parents, it actually addresses situations where a person holds bad feelings and places blame on others. The book helps the reader to recognize that a person cannot control how other people act but can only control how they themselves view and react to any given situation.
You may wish to recommend the book to your son who I suspect may gain the most benefit if he will actually read it and take the advice to heart.
edited to add: Sorry about the BOLD text as it won't change to regular text.
hi guys, i'm new to the site.. sorry to bring up an old topic.
but just wondering if anyone knew if the brochure referred to in the infamous un letter of 2004 is available to read anywhere?
this is the brochure of 1991 (before the supposed "changed language that we cannot subsribe to").
Zound said:
Thus it could be a 'fake', concocted by apostates and thus would be discredited by the JWs I'm trying to present this info to.
and
Which is why I'm trying to track down that brochure as I'm sure it would be incriminating.
Even if you had possession of the printed brochure directly from the UN, many JWs would discredit the info and say that it had been either made by or was altered by apostates.
Although I wish you success in trying to make a point to the JWs you're trying to reach, I honestly expect that you'll end-up frustrated and criticised for making an attempt, especially if you're trying to back-out and fade
Most JWs refuse to listen to or view anything critical of their beloved WT Society regardless of the factualness of the information. JWs will rationalize and justify anything the Society say or do, even when in direct contradiction to Bible principles or even to what the WT has stated themselves.
