Except we go to watch Iron Man to be entertained, no one really believes he's going to be our savior when Loki, erm, I mean Satan attacks.
Of course not. That's what Thor is there for.
syneidos posted some interesting information on reddit regarding jw.org's latest project for the upcomming 2015 memorial campaign.. for next year's 2015 memorial campaign, jw.org is producing an invitational video featuring jesus.
the video is still being filmed at the moment and i was told it was super "confidential.
" my source already saw several scenes from it and said, "it looks and feels like a cinematic movie.

i hope i don't come across as judgemental but having read a lot on the current child abuse cases and the different threads on here, i am left wondering why on earth a parent of an abuse victim would go to an elder with the problem first and not straight to police?.
as a parent myself i know that if anything like that happend to my child (this applies to when i was still an active jw as well as now) i would not hesitate in going to the authorities as soon as i found out, it wouldn't of crossed mine or my husbands mind to go to an elder.
maybe after we had reported it but definitely never as the first port of call.
I would think that the better question would be: Why doesn't the abused child go directly to the police?
I think the natural instinct of a child, especially a young one, is to go their parents believing they will be a comfort and protection.
in another thread i raised the point " there are moderate muslims but their is no moderate islam".
now i must face the fact i have muslim friends who say they believe the koran.. well i have asked these muslim friends, if they have investigated the origins of the koran.
they have answerd " yes".
Nice people doesn't mean their religion is nice or above critisism.
Perfectly stated!
have you watched the 4 min animated white board drawing video on jw.org called "what's a real friend?".
it is one of the most hypocritical pieces they have produced!.
it goes into detail explaining that real friends "don't judge you, dont talk about you behind your back, don't hold grudges, don't expect you to conform, and encourage individuality!".
Definitely pukeworthy. The sad part is that most JWs won't make the connection between the qualities listed, and how they treat those "friends" who choose to no longer be JWs.
i do apologize for my extreme ignorance, but i am curious.. who the hell are honey boo boo, sugar bear and mama june??.
and more to the point.. why the hell are some americans so obsessed with them?.
i just don't get it.. .
I think they are forcing us to buy HBO...they are making TV so terrible that you have to take a higher package.
I've had the same thought. Even networks like AMC or FX that have better quality programming, aren't on basic packages. You have to buy the most expensive package to actually watch the shows you want.

Sometimes ignorance is a virtue.
when i was a hyperactive kid, i used to like boxing, and of course muhammad ali.
he was a great athlete, with a one-of-a-kind style who made a stand for his beliefs.. now that i'm older, i admire athletes that are quieter and get on with the job in hand - joe frazier, for example.. i'd like to put american racial politics and ali's tragic current condition to one side and focus on the following:.
how good a fighter was ali?.
But if he had been a contemporary of Mike Tyson at his peak, he would have met his match.
Maybe. It would have been great to see a fight of such contrasting styles. But Tyson never fought anyone who was close to Ali's caliber. Holmes was well past his prime when Tyson beat him. And the first time he fought someone who wasn't afraid of him, he lost. But Tyson at his peak, under Cus D'Amato, was ferocious.
from the moment i saw the preview, i became a little emotional.
maybe because the main character is thinking of the future of his child?
it does remind me of my struggles as a fading parent.
Same here. Especially with Christopher Nolan at the director's helm. I don't see movies out in the theater much anymore, but I'll definitely be watching this one.
once again for the 3rd time in 5 years my favorite baseball team the s.f.
giants are headed to the world series !
so who do you think will win this years series and your reasons for your predictions ?
I guess I was wrong about KC not needing to worry about facing Bumgarner again. The guy is a machine.

Why is that family making this woman a media spectacle? Some people want to be in the limelight so much!
I don't know if that was ignorance, or a misguided attempt at humor. It isn't her family exploiting her. She's chosen herself to go public with her illness in an attempt to raise awareness for end-of-life decisions, and a person's right to die with dignity.
