i like the way many of u think.....anyways since early 90's when i was dfd i totally abandoned the society but left my great amazing son in it ....didnt speak to my family except my mom for about 14 yrs and as she always invited me to move back home rent free!

in an empty house they visit from time to time.

i kept thinking: well my dad is getting to be 71 now ..and even tho i still speak in secret to my son (he had to stop seeing me 2yrs ago) maybe ill bs my way back in and i can actually see my son again and reestablish family ties...since i had broken up with my girlfriend.

Any videogamers here?

by R.F. in

this is my #1 hobby.

i have a ps2, psp, and xbox.

i was mainly an xbox kind of guy until they completely abandoned it soon after the 360 was released.

Hey R.F.!

I still have an original XBOX and been racking up games since they are cheaper now. I am currently playing the Prince of Persia series and will be going to Splinter Cell after that. Next year I will look at buying a next gen system, I may get both the XBOX 360 (for me) and the Wii(for the kids)

Does Anyone Know Any of the Newer GB Members? Please share your stories.

i have read some threads here that suggest that anyone thinking big changes are coming to the watchtower due to all of the new gb appointments is fooling themselves.

its been said that ted jaracz has been heavily involved in selecting new gb members and wants to ensure that they all share his hard-line vision for the religion.

i must admit that i thought there would be big changes by now since six of the nine gb members were appointed within the last eight years.

I met Geoffery Jackson last year when he visited Charlotte, NC. The family he was staying with took him to Discovery Place to see the Dead Sea Scroll exhibit. The family was so impressed that he was able to pick out the tetragrammaton out of the scrolls.... I was like "whatever..."

Anyway I met him at the KH on a Saturday afternoon where he was giving a special talk. I had talked to him for a few minutes and he seemed like a down to earth sort of person, told me a few jokes also. I made a video of the talk he gave at the hall, I'll see if I can upload it and send the link.

FadingAway

Hey, I am the same way, mostly read because I'm intrigued by others experiences.

Transformers Movie !

by Simon in

we just went to see the transformers movie at the cinema (see http://www.transformersmovie.com/).

this is an awesome film !!.

way better than the latest sci-fi / adventure flicks (spiderman 3, fantastic 4 - rise of the silver surfer).

FadingAway

I haven't seen the movie yet. But, I am annoyed they made Bumblebee a Camero instead of VW Bug.

I believe they were going to but VW wouldn't give them the rights to do so. I know it goes againts the original, but in my opinion Bumblebee as a Camaro was pretty sweet.

I absolutely loved the movie also. I really liked how they made Bumblebee into a caring guardian for Sam. The looks and emotions on his face were very well done.

My kids want to see it in IMAX.

Scully, I saw Spider Man 3 at the IMAX and was less than thrilled, the action was frantic and very hard to keep up with on the big screen. My neck was sore the next morning from all the twisting and turning in trying to keep up with it. I think Transformers would play out the same way, however to see the giant robots on the IMAX screen would be pretty awesome.
