  You're going to hate me Preston, but Revenge of the Sith is the best.
  
  I know... shocking considering how bad the other two prequels were. But it is.
  
  Crash is a close second.

  im trying to tie it all into my vacation, but i might just have to drive a ways for a 1 day picket within my region.

  some locations i have considered are amarillo tx, cleveland oh, duluth ga, biloxi ms, columbia sc, huntsville al, little rock ar, and possibly johnson city tn, but kinda doubtful there.

  What's the point in picketing? Don't you remember what those people looked like to you when you were "in"?
  
  It won't do any good, you're just wasiting your time.

  Yeah, showtime hates non-americans. Not sure why.
  
  They make some GREAT points in the show and some stupid ones.
  
  Rent it at blockbuster. It's worth it.
  
  It's a pretty balanced show, they try to show both viewpoints, but in doing so usually one rises to the top. In this case the skeptic.
  
  Of course it doesn't help that Penn won't refer to it as anything other than "The Damn Bible" LOL.

  with all the attention on terrorism in the world today and with the goverment cracking down on some anti-goverment groups.

  will the witnesses be next on the list of groups to be watched by the goverment?

  maybe even taking action against them.

  Why the WTS hates the Internet

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wts & its various corporations are a behemoth, rudderless ship with no one at the helm; only concerned with self-preservation.

  the result is an inflexible organization slow to make change and not interested in the welfare & rights of individual members.. the internet and boards such as this allow for excellent communication and freedom of information.. because the internet is free and provides relative anonymity it has proven to be one of the greatest threats to the wts.. the wts leaders could be proactive and act in an ethical way, but they'd rather react when a perceived "threat" arises -- telling members to avoid the internet, shun family members, do more/stay busy, and so on.. as jt used to say, "i love this 'net thang".

  CB, I beg to differ. Last assembly I attended there was so much railing against the snares of the Internet.
  -----------------------------
  
  Railing against it and telling people not to have the internet in their homes are two very different things.
  
  They've been RAILING against TV since it's inception for instance. I remember being SO sick of seeing assembly parts with these weird, out of touch families who talked about how they were so happy they got rid of their TV.
  
  All the bitterness in here seems to lead to extremism when discussin the WTBS actual views. They do enough ACTUALLY wacky things without having to blow them up even bigger.

  Hey Franki... Get out now. it'll only get harder later. My situation was similar to yours... I fought through it. Now I'm 28 and only now got up the courage to start working my way out of the org and make my double life my REAL life, even though that means losing every friend and family member I have ever known.

  Umm.... the WTBS has never told people they can't use the internet.
  
  Only that they should stay way from "witness" websites (because they are paranoid about people stumbling on sites like this one by accident) and porn.
  
  Otherwise, most of their directives about the internet have been pretty similar to those directed at TV.
