So I went to see Fantastic Four last night and.............
by free2think ini thought it was pretty good.
i have seen the first one mind you, so a few things didnt make sense but it was pretty easy to catch up with the plot.
of course the hot guys helped a little.

Just got back from the movie and unfortunately, I have to say I didn't think to much of it. The silver surfer was cool but I should have saved my money and waited for it to come out on DVD and rent it. I can't wait to see iron man, I hope they do a good job on it. I also want to see die hard and transformers later this month. Lots of hopefully good movies coming up.

Well, disaster struck.... The transmission on my car broke while I was driving in pennsylvania. I loss the last two gear of my car. I had to turn around and drive back 120 miles at 35 mph on the highway shoulder hoping the 3rd gear didn't give. I had thousands of dollars of video and camera equipment in the car and couldn't risk getting stranded trying to see the gravesite in a broken car. I will try again when I can replace the car, I sorry for getting everyone expectation up but when I go again, I will try to do a little deeper research on Russell's site. Again, I apologize thecarpenter ...now of the carless class

Well, I working on a video about people who left the witnesses and why they left. Since I'm going to be in it and be filming it, they (the local elders) will go after me so I will have my DA letter ready.
The film won't be finished until early next year maybe sooner. So far we interviewed three people and will be interviewing several more before we hit the edit room. It is a student film for a university in New York and we were given 2 grants to work on it. I'll let everyone know more about it later.

well, I do plan on taking a lot of high resolution pictures (10 megapixel) and to film the whole thing in High definition. I will pay particular attention to the watchtower logos. I also noticed that there are other pyramids in the area so I'll take some photos of them as well. I'll try to shoot from a lot of different angles and with multiple flashes. Hopefully I won't get chased away. As for the other stuff, well I don't blame Russell for what happened, he didn't intimidate people to stay and seemed like a broken man when his 1914 prophecy failed. I'm actually more angry at Rutherford, Knorr and particularly Franz for making the religion more cultish and punitive (Franz's doing - the punitive part). But Russell is interesting history that most witnesses don't know fully about. It is kind of sad really when you think about it.
I'll bring all the pictures at the next ex-JW meetup group this saturday.

Blonde, Brunette, Redhead? Do you have a favorite?
by Paralipomenon inthis is a fun question that i like to pose in social settings.
regardless of who your significant other is, i've found that people have a definite preference for hair color.
what i found even more interesting is that people usually preferred a hair color different than their own.

I was wondering if any of you have any "reasonable" requests? No, I will not deface it (I want if preserved for posterity). I plan on taking multiple pictures from all sides and closeups. I will also film it. thecarpenter aka spielburg

My mom started preaching to me when I visit her but then I started preaching back all the underhanded things the society does. Everytime she preaches to me, I preach back. She doesn't preach to me that much any more. As for your coworker, start printing out the junk about the society from newspapers. Also if you have a laptop, download the videos on silentlambs and show them to her and your coworkers. That should shut her up, maybe even get her to investigate.

Confession, loved your story... you are a gifted writer. It's amazing how people slowly discover the duplicity of the organization, you wonder later why you didn't see it sooner. I think that we want to believe, everlasting life in a paradise earth is quite a attractive picture, you just want to believe it. Oh well...
