i just got back from seeing it and it is fantastic.
all i can say is go see it!.
it was so moving, kept me gripped for the whole time and now i wanna go to india.. also the leading lady, frieda pinto is beautiful..
We went to see it last week and really enjoyed it.
We have been to Mumbai 5 or 6 times, and we lived in India in the late 90's so have a feel for the location and the culture. A very clever put together story and the acting from the kids was outstanding. Finally, don't jump up to go when the credits start at the end or you'll miss the only Bollywood style song and dance routine at the end.
i was an advocate of the idea that a sea landing is beyond impossible for any pilot.
some years ago terrorists hijack a plane in africa and demand to be flown to australia.
the pilot runs out of fuel at the sychelles islands and ditches in the sea with most passengers dead or drowned.
Looks to me like the trick was to get it perfectly level at the point of impact. Perhaps it helped it was a river and not the sea.
i resent the implications that are attached to it by the organisation.on a spiritual sence it means nothing to me.. .
I am no longer a JW but I still regard myself as a spiritual person. I am not sure where that spirituality will lead me and I don't practice any religion at present.
I got baptised before the change of vows, I didn't regard my baptism as identifying me as one of JWs, so I regard my baptism of over 40 years ago as the start of my spiritual journey.
a very true and inspirational speech by steve jobs.
the things he speaks about is exactly what the gb don't want you to experience.. .

"Death clears out the old to make way for the new". How true - apart from the WTB&TS were the old are simply replaced by clones of themselves.
mine are.

I loved Tahiti - great place and great place.
Been to many of the World Heritage sites in India.
Jaisalmer in India, on the border with Pakistan is totally magically!
The Himalayas are breath taking.
There are just some great places in the world yet for us to find them - those are our dream destinations!
lately, all we get around here is snow!!!!
i'm sick of it.
but at least we have no meetings to attend!.
Dinah - so we know what you like to do then
this is exciting, if only for the cognitive dissonance it has to cause jws.
and since a "worldy" member of my family worked as an engineer on a spectrometer going into the pheonix mar's lander, i get to make sure my witness family partakes in that cognitive dissonance.. .

Nice one Inkling.
i don't come here much anymore, but i do like to keep tabs on anything "important" happening in the wt.. these two rumors interest me.
do we have any official, trustworthy source on them?.

Well I haven't been to a metting in 5 years, I was a pillar of the local congregation and my wife is still is a zealous witness but still I haven't been contacted yet.
I have been thinking about what I will say when I get a visit. I think that lack of any genuine concern is going to be high on the list. The local elders are probably slightly scared of ex-elders who probably know too much, but having said that, I think that I had visit from an elder and the DO since I left. So much for a loving and concerned organization!
this movie was apparently loved by a lot of regular movie-goers and critics alike.
kelly ripa raved about it on the "live" show, and said it seeing it was a life-altering (or maybe she said life-changing) experience.
either way..... i saw it ....and it left me cold!
We went to see it last night and really enjoyed it.
However, having said that we have been to Mumbia 5 or 6 times and know India very well, so many of its themes are very familiar to us.
I know many of the things portrayed in the movie do actually happen in India but it would be wrong to assume it is all like that.

My wife and were away for the weekend last week. She even missed the Watchtower on helping strays return to the flock! Guess she thought quality time together is more important. Went to a very wild and cold part of the coast line but at the same time it was beautiful.
