  For the Supporters of Those Who Love Jehovah

  by lovesjehovah in

  2. friends

  i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.

  i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.

  i do not condone any crime.

  As you can see the stories do not match. Am I missing something?

  Yes

  Your thoughts on the new Star Wars?

  by Coded Logic in

  2. entertainment

  so i've thought for a while now that jj has the lowest bar to clear in cinema history.

  all he has to do is make a movie that's not as bad as the prequels.

  but upon viewing the recent trailers, it looks like he's actually got the "feel" of the originals down.

  Looking forward to the new episode with positive vibe.

  I was 9 yrs old when Stars Wars was released and it blew my mind, naturally. It spawned a new space sci-fi revolution and was quite the cultural phenomenon. It's a timeless piece of cinema and has yet to be topped in the series IMO. The Empire Strikes Back is a close second and easily bests the one with Slave Leia and walking Teddy Bears, lol

  Episodes I-III were ok, coulda been much better.

  JJ will do well with this methinks. He's got good pacing, mixes character dev well and has intensity and flash for the action.

  Also looking forward to Star Wars Battlefront for PS4 being released in 10 days, just in time for winter, lol

  Farewell

  by EdenOne in

  "don't be dismayed by good-byes.

  a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.

  and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

  Eden,

  I've enjoyed your posts and consider you a thoughtful and considerate person. I can understand your position having seen a few of the exchanges, with some things said to you (and a number of others) being completely unacceptable in a public forum. Personally, I don't care what Viviane and those like her say or do; it's not my problem and I've learned not to let such people get me down or tell me what to do or think.

  If you choose to leave, I respect your decision and wish you well. But I hope you change your mind and continue to contribute here. Ignore those who strive to knock you down to build themselves up; they will always be around. Stay for yourself and those who may benefit from your experience and emotional intelligence.

  On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.

  i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.

  it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

  Some good comments re empathy. They say you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Methinks they are right more often than not.

  I Hate the Sound of the Word Jehovah

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  listening to clips of the latest manipulative video from the watchtower i realised how much i detest that word - jehovah.. sometimes i have thought it would be interesting to observe a meeting or part of a convention.

  every time i heard that word i would be unable to stay in my seat.. i have a visceral reaction every time i hear it.

  it stands for so much that i have contempt for.

  Understandable. I recall feeling hate for the word and what it meant. Now I find the word has no effect. And I like that.

  Amazing talent

  I wish I had piano lessons from early on; such a "complete" instrument. Playing bass in rock band was/is fun but not the same level of musical expression.
