Movies to make a JW THINK
by M.J. in
1. jw
2. friends
i've heard various suggestions of movies to show a dub.. those of us with a spouse / family in the borg might find it pretty useful to rent such movies as just another way of chipping away at the indoctrination, or drawing attention to the wts control tactics.. one movie i saw which was somewhat helpful was one called "equilibrium", which was suggested on this board a while back.

its about a society that has acheived peace and order by requiring everyone to repress their emotions through sedatory drugs.

the good thing about this one was when it showed how everyone was so indoctrinated to follow the directives of the organization in charge, with every person keeping an eye on everyone else.

i will be very brief on my introduction as i need to get straight to the point.

i was raised in the 'truth' from birth.

i got baptized at 16 (elder dad hassled me) and managed to do the 'slow fade' at 18 (it helped that i moved 50 miles away from home).

new exercise routine if you're over 40

new exercise routine if you're over 40. you might want to take it easy at first, then do it faster as you become more proficient.

it may be too strenuous for some.. always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program!

If you were God ,The Creator of all things, how would you handle rebellion?

.

so many times we second guess god or our conception of him and we discuss why this or that does not make sense or could not be, or is not fair.. then how would you if you were god (with unlimited power) handle rebellion?

JW Mother Mourns Pope's Death

i was surprised to discover how my mother felt about the passing of the pope.

she mentioned even though he is different (regarding religion) he is still human and death is always something painful.

i overheard her discussion with my grandfather and she said he did good things and jehovah can grant him resurrection.

Does "J" deal with imperfection?
by upside/down in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
as a dub i was always taught that the reason j couldn't deal with us directly was because he was so holy and we were so not holy, that he couldn't even deal with us directly.

so we are in quarantine, through no fault of our own from our "father" in heaven.

then how come satan got to enter in before j himself and question and debate before all the angels.
