I really didnt like it the first time I watched it. After the second time, I couldnt stop laughing. Every time I watch it, the movie gets funnier.

anybody else love this movie as much as i did??
i think it says a lot about the type of person you are, or at least what kind of sense of humor you have, if you liked this movie or hated it.. so far, i've not met anyone who has been neutral on this movie - usually they either love it or hated it!

i remember studying, i think it was in peace and security book, that more ppl are alive now than have ever lived in the past.. this was an answer to anyone who had doubts about how the earth would not be over populated in the new system when everyone would be resurrected.. so without the present 6 billion ppl (who would have died at armageddon) then there would be plenty of room about 1 1/2 acres each, wow, for all the survivers, 6 million (peanuts) and everyone else.. so what the truth???????
does anyone know ????
6 Billion dead bodies and only 6 million surviors. That means when the JW's survive the big A, they will each have to clean up 1,000 dead bodies. Now if the animals start helping and finish off half the dead bodies ( wouldnt that make for alot of overwieght sick animals) that would still leave 500 dead bodies per person. Not exactly my idea of paradise!

i finally did it.
my da letter was short and sweet, so i gave them nothing to use for potential ammunition.
they announced me last night.
Way to go! Another step for you towards independent thinking. Breaking away is never easy, but in the end well worth any struggles you may encounter. Free your mind to other exoplore the many possiblities life will present to you. You will learn to look at every aspect of your life differently, in a "NEW LIGHT" if you will. Embrace your fears and remember they are fears that were instilled into through a group think culture.
Best of luck to ya, Tobby888.

it is going to be announced that with all the anticipation for the coming of armageddon, we didnt notice the actual event.
thats right, it was an invisible armageddon.
if we take the 70 years of captivity, plus 1914, we get 1984. then we use the people equal hours rule and apply it to the 144,000, using division, and we get 6,000. then we use the hours equal years rule to divide 6,000 by 360 to get 16.66 additional years, add that to 1984, and we get the year 2000 for armageddon!
Now I am confused Am living in an invisible paradise or are the wild beast of the land invisiblily eating my carcass?
Since there is no "proof" that the invisible armageddon has not happened, it must be true. Just look at the world around you, an invisible armageddon is the only explanation for the increase war, proverty and of course all these hurricanes.
The whole armageddon thing is such a joke, religion is truly nothing more than a "racket and a snare".
In my humble opinion of course

jw's are in a cult just so the watchtower can make some money, they dont care about anyone or let them do anything, all they want is money whomever is still in this religon that is considered a sheep will in fact get killed when this so called armageddon will happen which it hasn't since the first time they predicted in the year 1914, but i got a prediction the downfall of your so called religon will happen in the next 10 to 15 years
I do hope that the borg ends up destorying itself, but it will probably take more than 10 years, there are just to many of them.
Mostly, we all hope the borg goes out of business....mostly
i find it very weird that in 13 years, not one jw has come knocking on my door.
i don't live in my home town and have had no contact with witnesses ( besides my mom) since i was disfellowshipped in 1992. is it possible that my mom ( still a witness) has alerted the local kingdom hall and had me placed on the " do not call" list?
or maybe i just live in the area of slacker witnesses?
JW's knock on my door from time to time, maybe once a year or so.I see JW's working my neighborhood once every couple of months, but mostly they pass by my house, mostly. I live in the same house that I grew up in and it's in the close to the hall I spent 10+ years in. The last time 2 JW's showed up, I was all ready to play dumb and listen to what they had to say. After listening to the pitch I was all ready to start asking apostate type questions, than an elders wife who knew me walked past my house. She called to me to say hi ( I'm not DA'ed of DF'ed) and said that everyone missed me at the meetings. The 2 "sisters" then put the magazines away and said they hoped to see me at a meeting soon.
Not that it will do any good, but I am still waiting on that unexpecting JW to come to my house so I can unleash my apostate powers.

in mho, no.
i am guessing that everything in the bible is based on "a human need" im only guessing.
if we could figure out how to blot out all the insignificant crap garbage (i believe a lot was written/added that wasnt supposed to be: do not go beyond what is written.
Once someone can supply some form of evidence that the bible is GOD's word, I will gladly start to believe agian. In order for me to believe that there is an almightly creator and that the chrisitian bible is all true I need atleast something other than "faith". I led a good part of my life by "faith" and it got me nowhere! To me, living with the belief that the bible is infalliable is taking the same attiude that the Borg is infalliable. Just because the bible says it's the word of GOD doesn't mean that it is. The governing body says they have the "truth" and we all no that to be a lie!
In my humble opinion of course.
Show me the PROOF !!!

whatever i drink from the fridge, i put it into the microwave for 10 seconds so that it won't be too cold to drink.. .
whenever i drink ice cold liquids, it irritates my tongue/mouth and often triggers a sore throat.
now you have additional proof that i'm weird .
Weird things about myself:
1. I use to be a Jehovah’s Witness
2. I do a really good Yoda impersonation, but am horrible at all doing all other impersonations.
3. I once tried to break my own hand by punching a wall. (It didn’t work)
4. I cut up all my food before I start eating.
5. I got married 3 months after I turned 18 and divorced at 22
6. I am 28 years old now and have a 12 year old son. ( I don’t think its weird but a lot of people do)
7. I once stayed awake for almost 72 hours in a row.
8. I often talk in movie quotes
I guess that’s enough weird things to share about myself, any deeper into my psyche I will have to go lay on a couch.
i da'ed myself around 2 months ago.
got away from my abusive marriage.
happy to do that.. i get a new job, one my ex doesn't know about (so she can't find me) and i'm happy.
I have a young man who works for me that is an active minsterial servent. We grew up in the hall together and our mom's use to be really good friends. At first I was hestiant to let him know my "apostate views". He already knew that I smoked weed and cigarettes and so far the elders havent called me into a judical meeting, so I figured I could begin to explain why I left without freaking him out. After telling him my story, we began debating for 2 hours about the "Truth" and I let it all out. Given the chance I tried to talk about all the false dates, changed rules, etc but being the good little JW he is, I could see it in his eyes that he was blocking out everything I said and just waiting to spill out his next pro-JW "proof" that they are the choosen people. ( You know the look, blank stare with a look of pity towards me, afraid of truly listening and examining the evidence. )
Anyway, now I just leave all of my printed evidence in a floder on my desk marked "JW Research" It works on my younger brother who I know has looked in my favorite places folder also named "JW Research". I think implying it's just research and not Anti-JW makes it easier for them to open the folders.
Best of luck at work, but keep in mind the general rule of leaving politics and religion out of the work place. Since I own my business it's easier for me and I dont have to worry about pissing my bosses off.

here are some pics of my dive in an underground cave system in mexico.
they drive you out into the jungle a ways and you go down a ladder 30 feet underground.
there you find yourself on a platform in a cave filled with crystal clear water.
Thanks for the info it really sounds fun. I have never dived (or is it dove?) before, I have snorkeled in the Fla. Keys several times and loved it. I will have to check into for my trip.
Thanks
