Film Scenes that got burnt onto your memory

what were some film scenes that pleased or horrified you so much that they stayed vivid in your memory for a long time?

the one i always recall is the scene where anthony hopkins (playing as hannibal lector) lobotomised ray liotta (paul krendler) cutting off pieces of his brain and giving them to him to eat.

he also took some of liotta's cooked brain in a plane and gave them to an unsuspecting passenger boy sitting next to him to eat.

April 15, WT: Education, personal fulfillment leads to spiritual death

by truthseeker in

the 2nd study article, "let your hands be strong", is very pointed to say the least.

it seems that many dubs are finding personal fulfillment outside the kingdom hall, and this is clearly a sin leading to spiritual death.. i leave blondie to do the full review, just some interesting comments... .

pg 27, paragraph 11 .

or programs for personal fulfillment.

I'm curious--what do you think they are referring to? Maybe self-help books or counseling?

Locks of Love--Can you ever imagine JWs doing such a thing?

by rebel8 in

today hundreds of people are volunteering their hair for an org that provides wigs to cancer pts.

the today show in nyc had a few folks allow their long hair to be cut for donation and there are hundreds in another locale doing the same.

there are even little kids doing it!.

1. Where are charity works prohibited?

It's one of those "unwritten rules"

So much for unity--I've been associated with many congregations--they each have their own "unwritten rules"!

other people have ghosts and goblins and fairy godmothers.. jw's have demons.. demonized chairs, forks, pictures, pages from books, dolls, etc.

etc.. the most aggravating demon related thing my mother ever did was throw away my fantastic of collection of toys from around the world.

i was about 10 and joined something called the kid's explorer's club.

When I was 11 or 12 I was having bad nightmares. My parents and the elder's decided my teddy bear (that I had my whole life) was demonized--so they burned it. Nightmares continued. Wonder if my stepdad molesting me might have had anything to do with the nightmares!!!???? dah!!!

How convienient! Blame the teddy bear!

Sorry for what you went thru

A long overdue statement

by truthsetsonefree in

most of you have seen me post under my alias truthsetsonefree.

some call me "tsof" which is cool too.

one or two of you know me by my real name.

I think most witnesses live a double life anyway--so what's the difference? If I were to take a stand against the so-called 'truth' then I would lose my family and all my friends. I couldn't deal with it--at least not now.

Furthermore, I have opportunity to serve on and to chair many JCs. In some ways this is one of the paramount reasons why I remain an elder. Namely to show kindness and consideration to those who end up in this procedure. A committee swayed here, someone not df'd there, is just one more person/family that can be spared the unkind treatment often meted out when one is df'd.

THANK-YOU! An elder like you kept my mom from being df'd! I believe this particular elder could see who was really at fault, but could not push the issue because of the other two heartless, woman-hating creeps!

Thousands of JWs "contributed" their hair during WW2 in concentration camps

Stupid comparison to what is being discussed.
