  wow , i`m not gay , and i dont have gay tendencies , (a couple of scenes i have to turn away) but thats just me.. i thought the movie over all was done exceedingly well.

  m douglass captured liberace to a tee.

  rob lowe should get an oscar for his performance.and matt damon was beleivable in his role.. i watched this movie not knowing what i was going to see,and on a scale of 1 out of 10 i would give it an 8. smiddy.

  It was pretty good I thought. I had heard in an interview before seeing it that prob mentally you have some images and a feeling about this relationship. But the show was so good that soon you are just watching a relationship between people without all the baggage of who is what.

  Well done.

  there wouldn't have been any good way to hear the news i suppose.

  it's just so strange to recall the conversation yesterday.

  my "still in" parents are with me and my inactive sister having a pleasant conversation.

  At least they've admitted that depressed JWs need professional help. Well, I should qualify that and say that the support is hit-or-miss.

  Years ago we stayed with a Bethel DR in Germany. He said depression was epidemic, and he worked long long hours the days he worked there. He was not raised a JW and was kind and sympathetic to many issues including the depression, which was met with some opposition at the branch, at the time. The friends were lucky to have him...hate to think about what would have happened if they didn't.

  Wonderful Billy your parents have been still loving to you...they have their priorities right.

  You know, the WTBS has been saying crap like that since the beginning. However, the world has become more PC, and the WT keeps thinking they are Jesus and can call a group "vipers" and worse. I think JW's have heard it for so long, the words go in one ear and out the other...but the message remains..."shun the enemy."

  Thanks Denmark for taking a stand. I knew I liked you too.

  Oh no, so sad. So sorry for the loss of your friend.

  It's true people suffer depression in all areas and all faiths. But the WT is programmed to only support the future of the corporation. Their human faithful mean nothing to them...troubled marriages, lost teens, struggling single parents, elderly, depressed...all get the same advice. "It's not our problem it's your problem. And probably a spiritual problem at that. So just do more."

  My heart goes out to the family and friends. RIP.

  I had a nonJW Swedish friend visiting last weekend. We know each other via JWs he grew up with in Sweden who eventually moved to the US and next door to me. He comes to visit them every few years and also me. I anti witness to him whenever and wherever I can. I asked if he saw Worlds Apart, and he said he had, and that it is well known in Scandinavia.

  Yay!!
