  Just Saw StarWars Episode II

  only one word is sufficient to describe this film =.

  it is not religious persecution for an informed person to expose publicly a certain religion as being false, thus allowing persons to see the difference between false religion and true religion.

  wt 11/15/1963 page 688 paragraph 3

  After having seen AOTC last weekend, I was also a little disappointed with the finished product. Leaps and bounds better than Ep. 1, but still miles to go before it's as good as the original trilogy.

  I think part of the problem might be that in the original episodes four through six, Lucas picked actors no one had ever heard of. Now, we've got folks like Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Liam Neeson, Christopher Lee, Sam Jackson and Jimmy Smits. These actors and great, but we've seen these guys before and we're familiar with them. I think that hurts these films somewhat. (BTW, why in the world was Jimmy Smits in this movie? I heard people actually groaning in the theater when he appeared!)

  Did anybody else see Hayden Christensen in "Life As a House?" He had to tackle much weightier issues than the ones in AOTC (and with much better dialog ) and did a marvelous job. Looking forward to seeing him grow as an actor.

  I disliked Affleck for years, considering him a pretty-boy who lucked into his success. Guess I was just jealous. Then one night, I saw him host an episode of Saturday Night Live and my opinion of him completely changed. He came across completely differently and I've been a fan ever since.

  Back to the movie, I just checked the grosses for the weekend and it looks like Affleck beat out both Anakin and Peter Parker earning $31.2 million. Not too shabby.

  Mister Biggs,

  Scrolled back through those photos and noticed another of my childhood favorites..."The New Zoo Revue." Haven't thought about that show in ages. What I wouldn't give to see an episode or two of that one!!

  Gosh, I used to love the Electric Company! It's hard to believe now that both Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno were on that show. Not to mention the Amazing Spider Man! LOL!

  Hey, does anyone else remember that really tacky but oh so fun, "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl"? Too fun!

  This is just more double-talk from the WTB&TS trying to duck and cover.

  I actually got into an argument yesterday with JW family members who absolutely insisted that this letter tells them that you are not required to have two witnesses to the incident. I'm sure they reached this conclusion upon hearing it read at the service meeting and then quickly glossed over. I'm quite sure this letter from the society won't be posted on the bulletin board at the back of the Kingdom Hall for all to read thorougly.

  Argh!!

  Householders who have kids, afraid of JWs.

  by D wiltshire in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that since the airing of dateline on jw pedophiles, that many of the public will be fearful of the jw's and will absolutily tell their children to not talk or let the jws in their homes.. i see it playing out this way in field service over and over again:.

  jdubs come to the yard of someone with kids,.. and right away the householder has all their children quickly go inside for fear they might be molested.. i think going out in field service will get harder and harder for the dubs because of all this very very bad publicity.. probably many pioneers will stop pioneering because of this.

  and many dubs will secretly lose respect for the wt and the elder arrangement.

  This was the first thing that my JW mother mentioned to me when I queried her about the program. She's now fearful that it will keep some from listening to their message.

  If this can draw attention to this issue and limit future growth for them then, in the words of Martha Stewart, "It's a good thing!"

  who would have thunk?.

  well two little old ladies came knocking at my door, watchtowers in hand and their little sheets of paper.. well i asked them point blank if they had seen the show and one of them had and proudly told me that she had not only seen it but taped it.

  i suggested that the other go to watch it and she said she would.. gutsy little ladies i love them.

  Lady Lee,

  Loved reading your story...sounds like you took their 'witnessing' opportunity and turned it into one of your own! Fantastic!

  Never been much into games like Quake - you've got to be a little too 'twitchy' to play them. Can't stand the idea of stuff jumping in front of me.

  However, I am completely addicted to Evercrack, er, Everquest. I tried playing DAoC for a bit, but it felt so deserted compared to the world of EQ that I finally gave up and went back to Norrath.
