Can Someone Explain Horror Movies?

by onesong in

jw
friends

i try to be open minded and not judge anything but when i see these movie commercials----.

i think it was saw iii or something, all this blood, gore, shrieking and grotesque violence, all i can do is ask with a sense of awe --why?

why would someone want to watch that?.

R6Laser

I think people who have experienced genuine horror for real do not find horror movies entertaining.
Its a luxury to be able to watch violence and evil as a form of entertainment and enjoyment. If you lived in Iraq or Afghanistan or anywhere where evil and violence were a part of daily life you might want some other form of escape in your spare time.

Not really. I'm in Afghanistan living in a military base and myself and plenty of soldiers and contractors enjoy to watch horror movies, or violent movies in our time off. And we get attacked almost on a daily bases with bombings or rocket attacks so violence is pretty much a part of our daily lives. Now the afghanis might be a completely different thing, they don't have any tv's in their houses. So to the afghanis that don't even have tv's of course they are not going to see it.

But I'm sure if an afghani were given a chance to see a horror movie he would definitely sit down and watch it. There are some local afghanis that actually work on base and when they walk by a place with a tv that's turned on they stop and watch it in amazement.

Liking horror, or comedy movies has to do with the simple fact that people are different. Therefore different people like different things. There's nothing wrong with someone who doesn't like horror or violence type movies. Just as there's nothing wrong with someone not liking comedy or romance type movies. It all boils down to personal preference and nothing else.

What is the WT view on Sex After monopause?

by Undecided in

if sex isn't for the pleasure should you do it after you can't have children?.

should old guys like me still try?

my wife said making love to a 70 year old is like playing pool with a rope.. she was just kidding, at least i hope she was.. ken p..

R6Laser

Oh shit. I said my real name in this post. Just a matter of time before the dubs find me now and officially give me a 10 year old DF...haha

I wouldn't worry about it. I think most worries of jws accessing this site to spy on us are exagerated. I have posted my picture in this site before. The picture was of me and my 'wordly' friends posing right in the front of the Kingdom Hall sign while there were people on the premises. This happened back when I was still attending and a ministerial servant. I never received any threats from the wts or elders in my hall about it.

WATCHTOWER loses in court!

by Nathan Natas in

R6Laser

Doesn't any Watchtower defence attorney have a conscience? How can anyone defend such heinous crimes?

That's what a lawyer does for you. Defend even the guilty. Finally some positive, but this is not only confined to the wts, there's plenty of news of this with regular regilions as some of you put it.

YOU GUYS!!!! Armagedon has already started!! Scanned PROOF!!

by Lady Liberty in

its like the boy who cried wolf one too many times!!.

sincerely,.

lady liberty.

R6Laser

Good one. But I don't think this will sway many people. Who is going to care what is written on some ancient literature from the 1890's. Especially when almost everything back there has been changed today, not just the jws literature.

What?!

by Amanda001 in

well, today i came home from work and i found some pamphlet from a jehovah's witness on my doorstep.

i began to read it because before i state what i believe i think it is only fair that i find out some info.

it was the flyer about the end of false religion.

R6Laser

Who are you to judge them????? Who are you to say that they cannot be with each other? You have no right to judge what others are donig, especially if they do it all without bothering you.

Exactly.

And who are you to judge the jws and what they do? Are they forcing your hand to do something you don't want? Follow your own advice.

Big changes after the new tract?

by Matt_fs in

one of my jw friends who still talks to me said this was the last tract that will be released from the faithfull discreet slave and that after the tract has been released there will be some major changes and for everyone not to be affraid.

does anyone have an idea of what this might be?

this gets me a little curious!.

R6Laser

It's most likely just a publicity stunt by the gb to keep the members they still have on their toes. If they do make changes, it'll be nothing new under the sun, as usual.

Publicity stunt by the gb? It seems more like a publicity stunt by posters in this forum. Where have you been living? Nothing has changed, every year there is a new campaign or new book or literature out. This has never changed.

Also the WTS has 'always' been preaching about the end of the world being very near. This has never changed, and will never change. So to them its really not a big deal. Its only a big deal to bitter posters in this forum who have to make every single little thing into another "Big Announcement", or "Big Changes" thread. And as usual those threads start by someone stating that they have a relative or family that told them that the wts said so and so. I don't know how some of you think that is reliable information, but I guess it just comes from leaving a life of being fooled by the wts for so long.

Does It Bother You That Some Posters Give Misinformation???

by minimus in

jw
friends

i don't like the fact that at times, false information is disseminated here.

where's the "big announcement in october"???

or we hear that the blood issue will be changed or that something big is going to be happening at the next assembly.

R6Laser

I am not too sure if the "Big Announcement" was misinformation. The origin was a quote about something special in October that many would not like. I am quite sure this referes to the new tract which contains a less soft message.

Not really a big announcement when the Watchtower has been preaching the same thing year after year. So there's nothing new about this tract. Have you missed all the other articles and pictures that the WT has put up in their magazines regarding other religions and how they would all be destroyed at Armageddon? There's nothing new about this, its the same all this time.

Big announcement was nothing more than some of the members of this forum trying to make a big deal out of nothing. I still remember last year where everyone was talking about some 'Big' new exciting news that would change the way people could go after the society and sue them for damages because of their blood policies. It turned out to be nothing more than an article written by someone, while it had its good points it made really no difference at all. So I'm still awaiting the Big news about that back then.

Bethel Departures: The writing on the wall

by What-A-Coincidence in

a bethel talk in 98. over 17,000 members are in active service at bethel worldwide.

"thank you for the contribution you have made.

there is yet more work to do.

R6Laser

I post here because this is an internet 'forum' where people can post.

Oh wow its 7 years instead of 10! But seriously why is it that everything news related to the jws is a big event to all of you here? Were most of you really screwed that bad? I just left and nothing ever happened to me. Its called taking control of your life and moving on.

You mean like V's thorough breakdown of the Revelation book updates before the JWs even had their KMs?
Are you referring to the most recent blood doctrine debacle in the November KM that we have a month ahead of time?
WAC was showing that there was a progressive move toward these recent and ongoing cutbacks in Bethel personnel by referencing articles leading to that end , i.e. "The writing on the wall." I don't think he could have been more clear without spelling it out for you in block letters. Why are you so peevish? If you were half as publicly critical of the things that go on in your congregation...you wouldn't simply be faded.
AuldSoul

Ok, and what does this information do for you? What's the purpose of it? I really don't see a purpose, big freaking deal that you got some news before everybody else. Congratulations!

I'm going to go back and search for 'Big Announcement' threads in the forum there should be at least a few going on today talking about something big that's supposed to be happening in the secretive world of the jws, so it should be fun.

My dad's email response to my UN and Blood Issue questions.

by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit in

jw
friends

i always thought that my dad was a smart man, that he still had his common sense, but now i see that's not true.

and for some stupid reason, this has really got to me tonight.

i'm sharing the content of this discussion so that maybe someone else can see the ignorance of this horrible religion of people who cannot really love because their evil bible won't let them.

R6Laser

Yep I agree. He's a nutcase.
Standard typical JW nutcase - same as my relatives. Not evil, but they are nutters somehow.
Like we all were at one time I guess. Isn't life strange!

Nutcase? He's the one saying that its no big deal. And that's how most jw's who are in still see it. So the wts used the library in the UN. So what??? Its us who can't seem to stop talking about it, its us who are making a big deal.

He is right nobody is forced to do anything, that was a decision each and everyone of us made when we were part of it. Live with it. Then most of you will start saying 'Oh well, if I didn't comply I would've been labeled as a spiritual weak person.' Once again, So What??? Where's the downside of doing your own thing and not following what others say. They won't talk to you anymore? LOL, if that's it sign me up I don't mind not being talked to if I didn't agree with something and didn't want to do it.

I wonder why almost all news and things I see on this board go back 10 years or more. Here's a new tought for you, get over it. Quoting ten year old articles or talks aren't going to change a thing.
