My live demands made reading impossible, so I began watching movies. Not just any movies, the kind that make you feel, make you think. The kind that help you to realize your place in the events going on around you, and remind you of how fleeting life can be. How you don't have it so bad. Historical movies about times much tougher than these. Poignant personal movies that examine social injustice, death....etc....documentaries, anything. (I didn't have TV then)

I think I did that for about a month. It worked. It may sound silly, but it worked. Two dozen movies later, I lifted my rock and began my way out of the hole.

What made me think about sharing that was I just watched another one. "Trade" . A movie about human trafficking. Very well done. I learned it is the third largest industry in the world. Drugs, and guns are 1 and 2. Not sure which is which. Horribly disturbing.

Just my way, anyone else?

Movies I missed growing up a witness?

ok, so a recent post about the godfather got me thinking what a massively sheltered life i had growing up, .

and all the classic r rated (or otherwise offensive to delicate jw sensibilities) movies i must have missed.. i am not easily offended now, and am open to pretty much any genre.. i have a lot of catching up to do, so i could use some help-.

what are your all time favorite movies, "inappropriate for christians" or otherwise?.

wings

I only missed 16 years of movies. For the last 10 months I have been obsessed trying to watch them all.

Some of my favorites.....

Philedelphia

Dead Man Walking

Bridget Jones

Lord of the Rings

LIfe as a House

Cold Mountain

I'll stop there, I could go on for awhile. I love movies and the R rated rule is truly stupid.

will they be disturbed?.

happy?

thinking this proves the end is nearer than ever??

Will they be disturbed?

No, are you kidding these people are board to death. They live for these changes, if nothing else, it gives them something new to talk about.

Happy?

You can't be a JW without at least pretending to be happy about anything that comes out of any orifice of the WTBTS

Thinking this proves the end is nearer than ever???

Everything proves this....everything. So yes, the end is near. Now tell me something I don't know. BTW, funny comments thanks I needed that. wings

does your mother have a social worker? if you havent checked with her county of residence yet, there might be some programs or provisions thru human services that could get you a little respite from her care

been there done that bought the tee shirt. I have help, I have everything in place. What I am left with is #1 personal choices I have made. #2 the injustices of the medical system in the US. #2 is hard to make sense out of that, but I have worked the "system" and have 2 months left unless she gets an illness or injury...etc....that would put her in the hospital for THREE DAYS. Then she could go into a rehab until medicaid kicks in.
