Girlscouts and boyscouts are christian organizations with thinly veiled religious 'values' such as barring of homosexuals from being a scout.

by MoeJoJoJo indoes anyone know what jw's have against girl scouts?
my mother would never buy girl scout cookies and i was always taught to feel that joining the girl or boy scouts would be wrong but never knew why.. my daughter wants to join and i want to know what i can expect to hear from my jw family.

GOOD GOD!
by SYN inhehe, all my best threads usually have all-caps in the titles.
this one's a doozy!.
i went out to this nightclub near my work last night (saturday night), and i was having a good old time, when i decided to sit down on a big, flat futon couch near the entrance to one of the dancefloors for a while (it's an outdoors club!).

I say shes playing her cards right and trying to reel someone in to help her out before she gets blimp-like and then has a child which would make going out to bars and clubs nigh impossible, and getting a good man harder.
I say get to know her better and then decide, a few dates won't hurt anyone unless she kicks you in the nuts. And hey, you dont have to worry about getting her pregnant!

A Beautiful Mind
by messenger inthe little girl stands for your family within the organization all the attempts they will make to encourage you to come back and have their approval if you will just submit.
the best friend represents all those that you grew up with in the organization, people you have known all your life, those who you may see once a year at the district convention who rush up to you and are so happy to see you, they make you feel secure and a part of something.
the government agent symbolizes the organization that has desperate need of your services.

It'd been mentioned before, but the story presented in 'BEAUTIFUL MIND' is so fictional it might as well have space aliens landing on John Nash's front lawn. First off, his wife played by jennifer connely divorced him along time ago, he had another wife and an illigeitimate child with her before the jennifer one, he was arrested for some sort of lewd sex act in a public place around the same era, and he was never allowed to make his acceptance speech at the Noble awards.
And as I have said before, Ron Howard was originally going to make this movie about another schizophrenic until the guy he was basing the movie on went crazy and killed his GF, so that wasnt exactly the hollywood ending ron howard wanted. As this shows, he was never interested in telling a true story of schizophrenia but instead was going for a 6th sense hollywood entertainment vehicle.

I'm trying to get this published in local news pa
by D wiltshire inwhy jehovahs witnesses keep knocking on your door.
jehovahs witnesses keep coming to your door because they dont want you to be destroyed at armageddon.. all members believe they belong to the only true religion and every religion except theirs is from the devil, and that god will destroy everyone for not being a jehovahs witness at armageddon.
if they stop preaching they are told they too will perish because they didnt warn their neighbor, and will be held blood guilty for their deaths at armageddon.. they have been conditioned to have great faith in the watchtower and to let the watchtower control their life and their thinking, to them this is a matter of life, or eternal death.

Artists are notoriously rperessed by religious organizations. It's been a historical thing, ever since artists were mainly commisioned by the church to paint religious scenes. Usually the artists were hiding things such as homosexuality or they really would rather paint other things.
The JW artists may be suffering from the same repression and so possibly hid images in their art as a sort of way to 'sign' them since they aren't allowed to take credit for it. Artists are weird people, you never know. The same thing happened with disney animators.

It reeks of biasness (if that's a word) The article loses interest to a casual reader because it is so venemous towards JW's, the author obviously (and understandably) harbor bitterness and resentment to the JW. A batter article worthy of publication could accomplish the same things without being so obvious, instead hit the reader with metaphors and give a wider picture of the story. Or at least try to be unbiased.
It's like me submitting an article about how MCI is a souless, vile corporation that cares nothing for its workers and forces them to work unpaid overtime and wont let them make personal calls for any reason and they are only out to get your money. Reading such an article youd know right away that the authot got screwed by MCI and is biased against them and so taints his or her words to try to make the reader side with him or her against MCI.It just dosen't make for good journalism. It comes out as venting. Just my honest opinion.
