don't tell me none of you watched this?????
it's a new hbo series on sundays at 10 pm.
it's about a mormon offshoot group, complete with a commune, child brides, and polygamy.
its a good show, i wonder if they plan on using this Roman vs Bill storyline for the entire series or just the first season. I don't see any way that Bill is able to avoid getting exposed. even if it isnt roman that does it they are way to obvious, especially their living situation. will homeplus be able to survive the scandal?
as far as the JW parallels there are some but the biggest difference is that they don't shun former members
Do they have internet access in their rooms? Do they have to go through Bethel as their ISP or can they go through a DSL or cable provider? I wonder if Bethel has a proxy server to block content and monitor the bethelites.
if i have ever mentioned that i've seen the movies or read the books to a witness in gb, i get the kind of reaction that used to be reserved for smurfs here in america.. i am not naive enough to not understand any discomfort with a school for witches, but this stuff is about as threatening as casper the friendly ghost.
i find the books charming, if a little long winded and formulaic.
the movies, especially the later two, tighten up the plots and jettison a lot of excess baggage.
my sister wont let my niece see Shrek because she "heard" there was voodoo in it.
this time they really did call the police on me lol!
they backed out though, they called, then canceled the call after a while and the police never came to charge me with recording them, pitty really.. http://www.quad-central.com/~dan2007.
there is the link, i was unable to edit the audio file like i usually do to take out the blank spaces and amplify the volume, so if someone could do that with the wav file on the server that would be great!.
i don't get why they were covering their faces, it makes them look like total idiots
while raking my yard today a had an epithany.
i started to thinking, being in the witness organization is a lot like being in an inbred family.
think about the reasons that getting with your sister or fist cousins are wrong.
do you mean epiphany? sorry
yesterday after school i had to go work on a project with friends.
mom said be home by 5, but there was a huge accident a mile from where i live, and i sat on the road for like 10 - 12 minutes, and was 5 minutes late getting home.
mom was there (didn't go to work- guess why) and she was pissed.
I haven't read all the post either but I definitely agree with LT when I say that the attacks on RR's mom are unnecessary and not helpful really. Is she overreacting? maybe? but how would you feel if your child had been deceiving you for over a year? and not just not believeing but actively "plotting" attacks on her religion. would you trust them? I doubt it. I think it would probably be best for the both of you if you moved out now and hopefully with time she will come around a bit.
vendetta's v: villain or vindicating vigilante?

Sorry but i didnt see any JW parallels. i thought the movie was great though although the apparent message is that terrorism is justified in some cases, pretty controversial in this day and age, i'm sure it will be fodder for guys like michael savage to say that Hollywood is anti-american
in compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".
the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).
my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.
i'm sure this has probably been brought up before and its a little late anyway but isnt this the type of case that the ACLU would be interested in, I know they have helped the defendants in the file sharing cases.

Quotes I don't blame you for settling, personally I think that the fact that they were so scared of a website that just "quotes" their own literature is much bigger news and offers more hope than the " Big News".
it's 7 a.m. here in the east coast, and so far i haven't seen any news on t.v.
about the "big news".
so, to make it easier to find, i thought we could use one thread to keep track of any news that comes out in the next few days.
Sorry but I dont think the news is that "big", its not enough of a lightning rod issue for the main media to care, besides the journal might be prestigious in academic circles but unless its published by yale or harvard etc, the main media is not going to care, it will only be news when and if someone actually tries to file this class action suit
