  I dunno I felt that they should'nt have started episode one with Anakin as a small boy, but as a teenager like in episode 2. I just felt that his turning to the dark side was so forced and rushed, that I really did'nt see the conflict that they wanted me to see. And more stronger reason to save Palpatine in order to save Amadala from death. Did'nt they ever have illnesses a long time ago in that galaxy far, far away?

  What would've made sense in his turning would be him seeing certain dogma in the jedi counsel that we all could've understood. It could've been so much more than what it was lead on to be. "Taste Great...Less Filling".IMHHO

  But don't get me wrong...I love the whole Star Wars story...always have, always will...

  Star Wars fan for life.

  But while she prayed, lightning suddenly exploded, blowing through the linoleum and leaving a blackened area on the concrete. Brown wound up on the floor, dazed and disoriented by the blast but otherwise uninjured.

  She said 'Amen' and the room was engulfed in a huge ball of fire

  There's HER answer.

  What songs got you through good or tough times?

  2. experiences

  i've been in an upbeat mood lately.

  i don't know if it's all the exercise that i'm doing or what but i've not been moody all 3 weeks.one thing that i've noticed, is that i've listened to certain songs that made me forget about "her" and move on with bigger and better things.

  when i was depressed i listened to some songs from tool, some from the cure, barbra manning, the old babyface songs,some from sade, sweetback, and maxwell and everything but the girl.

  "Damn it feels to be a Gangsta" by the Geto Boyz. As I drove away, I listened to "Break stuff" by Limp Bizkit and "Jesus Walks" by Kanye West.

  Yeah... how could I forget about the Geto Boyz?! You took me back to the dayz Rich! What you know 'bout them Boyz?!

  I was playing SoundGarden's SuperUnknown Album not too long ago, "Black Hole Sun" spoke to me.

  I've read a few of Chuck Palahniuk's books lately: "Fight Club," "Survivor," "Choke." Really good stuff I'd highly recommend.

  Yeah...I loved "Haunted". I finished reading "Tietam Brown" by MIck Foley for the second time, loved it.And of course "Black Boy" by Richard Wright one of my all time faves.

  I'm starting on "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown, I know the book is old but I wanted to check it out.

  Another reason the WTS doesn't want JWs on the net?

  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all pretty well understand that the wts tells jws that bing on the internet is dangerous to their spiritual standing because people on the net are controlled by satan

  but... maybe there is a second reason.we also know that the wts believes if people read the wt literature they will come to the wrong conclusions.

  people require someone to sit with them and read every paragraph of a wt book to make sure they understand the book in the right way.we know the website for the wts is pretty sanitized so people don't run off too quicklywe know there is no place on the wts' website for discussion.

  We know there is no place on the WTS' website for discussion

  And they know better than to allow an open forum on their website. When their at the door they have "control" of the conversation and with the publications in their hands they can steer and direct the discussion. And the householder is stuck there.I know, I've done it before.

  On the internet forums like this one, YOU have the control to STOP, get infromation on the topic at hand and go for a rebuttal at your own time.

  The society always call for control, the internet strips them of such IMHO.

  my two cents,

  Brainwashed Children

  2. friends

  i noticed an elder showed a picture of "paradise" and asked "who are the people dipicted"... .

  serveral children answered and said the same thing "they (look like they) are witnesses" -- .

  it was as if these children were taught that only jws are right... which they probably were.

  Will they grow up hating worldly people?

  When I was growing up in that crap, I did'nt hate then, I envied them. They could in my opinon live a normal life not worrying about being good so that you can live forever with people you could not stand to be around. They could actually have an independent thought.

  THAT I envied about them so much.

  Oh, I could right a book on that I tell ya.

  Do you regularly lie?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  although i love my parents, very often they lie to try to get out of a jam.

  then they have to lie again to cover the first lie.

  and often for really stupid reasons, they will lie instead of saying the truth and being direct.

  Any born-in JW that had to do the fade while growing up inevitably becomes a master of deception! We should all be working for the CIA imho.

  Yep....'nuff said.
