He made mistakes-- I agree, Gladiator was a good movie. He didn't care for Blade Runner either- Great movies live forever- great film critics end up as a dusty article on wikipedia.

15"I'll see you at the movies." RIP Roger Ebert
by MrFreeze inyears ago, i didn't care for roger ebert.
i thought he was kind of a snooty film critic.. after watching films as sort of a hobby, i came to really appreciate his opinions on film.
mainly, what was the film trying to do.

Elder and MS Extortion!
by jw07 inthe elders and ministerial servants at my hall were asked to attend a strange meeting last night.
the society is asking for our help to raise $10,200.
they are seeking to raise this money in april from elders and ministerial servants in our circuit only.

My feeling is the CO got caught up in something that could be very embarrassing to the circuit- like being stopped for drunk driving or picking up a hooker-
that $10,200 is needed to pay for the cost of getting him out of hot water.- doing it on the sly is an attempt to keep the WT from being connected to the crime.

Disturbing new YouTube video showing Anthony Morris's approach to teenage baptism
by cedars inif anyone was under the illusion that all baptized jw children become dedicated solely of their own volition, then hopefully this new video should be a wake-up call.. .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plgbjdgoj-u.
(unfortunately, due to the soundtrack i've chosen, this video is apparently banned in germany.

Children are not as naive as when we were parents. I suspect that for every teenager who gets baptised another one is wise to the WT scam and avoids the water like the plague. The strong-willed kids bail, but the wimpy kids get manipulated and end up baptised before 16- they will also make compliant adult JWs.
When I was in charge of the Theocratic school around 1977, I noticed ( looking at the past records) one girl who regularly called in sick and didn't do her assignment. When I cornered her about it later after she cancelled out (after my best efforts to pressure her mother into getting her to the KH--she was about 13 as I recall) in the KH lobby, she was defiant and laughed it off. It was plain that she knew I couldn't force her to do a part- I could schedule her all I wanted- she wasn't playing my game.
last I checked she is a nurse in a Florida hosital and never got baptised- she was the one who ended up taking care of her infirm elderly parents- not her other 4 brothers and sisters - JWs all.

James Woods is the fellow who USE TO HAVE a Ferarri--he traded it in for an Aston Martin DB9
Did the Lord direct him to do that instead of paying 10-20k for the engine out service and new cam shaft belts? We were all praying for spiritual guidance.

Corporations are hiding their cash stash from US tax system-
Overseas cash restricts Apple's options for reallocating capital
By Neil Hughes
With Apple actively exploring potential uses for its $137 billion in cash and investments, bringing all of that money back to the U.S. would be a costly move.About 70 percent of Apple's cash balance is held overseas, and repatriating that money would have it taxed at America's 35 percent corporate rate. As noted by analyst Amit Daryanani of RBC Capital Markets, that means bringing the money stateside would cost Apple $33 billion.

How should I respond to JW relative?
by Resistance is Futile inso i've been talking to one of my jw relatives lately, she's a young adult, born-in.
i've never openly said i don't believe in the governing body, and i've been asking her questions in order to get her thinking.
so i asked her if she believed watchtower publications were inspired and equivalent to the bible.

26 states have declined to set up those insurance exchanges- that is a lot of people who are unenthusiastic about the ACA. ( the affordable part will be an oxymoron for most). I live in one of those unmotivated states.

A personal message to you lurking Jehovah's Witnesses out there

somebody somewhere else was studying a real textbook.

Terry, I hope some people heed your advice. It doesn't take a genius for them to see the WT religion is going to ruin their life- They just have to open their eyes and look out the starboard porthole-

Knowledge is power- IF you act on it. We see a lot of people here who know the truth about the troof and are still pretending to be JWs- Why?
They lack the fortitude to strike out on their own and pilot their own ship- they also don't want to be ostracised by their JW family and friends.
As much as we want to help these JWs, their life is in their hands. Some people seem to have the destiny to be lifetime WT doormats.
