This board doesn't claim to be the only way to everlasting life.
This board doesn't say who you can or cannot associate with.
The WT claims that everyone can get along if they just apply bible principles, whereas in fact, that is a bunch of hogwash.

"Watchmen" the worst comic book movie ever - I walked out!
by Witness 007 init tried to be dramatic and different but you just don't know which direction this movie is taking.
i haven't walked out of a film ever, but i just couldn't stand it anymore....the first hour and a half went no-where!
they try to make complex interesting characters but fail completely...anyone else see it?.

The movie was great! As a comic-book movie it wasn't as good as The Dark Knight but few movies are that good.
It followed the book remarkably well, in fact, the ending was cleaned up to be better than the book.
As I was watching it I was wondering if someone who hadn't read the book would be lost. I asked people afterwards, some said yes, some said no.
My one criticism would be that the movie didn't show enough of how early comic-book superheroes were so "truth, justice and the american way" type people. When the book came out, the reading audience knew about this status-quo and Moore didn't really need to delve into that. Few books before Watchmen showed them as having different motives or downright crazy.
What got Alan Moore all jaded about his work being turned into movies was From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. He took the money from those and the studios went and bastardized them. He hated the thought of both V for Vendetta and the Watchmen being made into movies based on earlier experiences and his dealings with DC. He really should have no complaint since they both turned out so phemonenally well.

I like to take it a step in the opposite direction.
If an all knowing perfect God created everything, did he intentionally manufacture the "flaw" that would have been in Satan? Same with Adam and Eve?
Free will.... blah blah blah.... he made them as they were so the blame falls back on him.
Parents don't know how a child will turn out, but this can't be an excuse for God.
And it takes 6000 years? Really?!?! Millions die every year from famine, disease, etc. and this is better than just killing of 3 beings at that point?
Of course, I view the bible as Jewish mythology and don't believe a word of it.

Jehovah's Witnesses Purposely Confuse Meanings of Words- to Control
by flipper init's well known that jehovah's witnesses are a mind control cult.
most would agree on that point.
but have you noticed the clever ( allegedly ) way they try to blur meanings of words to control their rank and file members and any prospective incoming members ?.

Spiritual is a word that got to me too.
Some years after I had stopped going, I was taking a mandatory health class for college. The instructor mentioned that we need to keep ourselves healthy physically, mentally and spiritually. I rolled my eyes at the last one and he went on to define spirituality as being ok with what happens to you when you die. Believe whatever you want but just be comfortable and have resolved within yourself what may or may not happen when we die.
I immediately thought, "If that is the case, I'm so much more spiritual now then when I thought it was about how much time you put in field service each month."

2008 Releases
by AK - Jeff ini have almost quit caring about this stuff - but i saw a scan somewhere of a 'preface' or 'forward' to a new wts pub, that slammed da persons pretty hard.
i think that reading this infomation might be the reason that my cousin [also my absolute best friend for 35 years] has now elected to stop any contact with me.
i would like to confirm the info and disect it a bit.. can anyone tell me what book i saw, and whether it is out there somewhere for dl ?.

Just don't try and tell the elders that your relative is neither a fornicator or a greedy person.
