I hope the next star wars movie dosent suck as bad as phantom menace did. As a big fan of the first trilagy I was sorly dissapointed.What was lucas thinking, he made that movie for five year olds,way too kiddish.He needed to ad alot more drama and suspence and some figgin diolog.Mabey he is simply overrated and he got lucy with the first three..

Harry Potter Movie
by Abaddon ini saw this on saturday and.... now i am a servant of the dark lord bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!.
... it was very cool.. visually very faithful to the books; eerything looks as it 'should', which is really hard.
the screenplay was an acceptable compromise between the brevity neccesary in converting a book to a film, although one part (the dursley's leaving privett drive to escape the letters and being hunted down by hagrid) was done very badly.. the actors were excellent, and (thank god, nothing against american's, but i object to english stories being americanised for no reason other than american cultural imperialism) an excellent cast of top-quality 'supporting' english, or i should say british (as robbie coltraine is great as hagrid (and big!

FARTING at the meetings
by gambler ini'm sure you all have some good comical stories of pple farting during prayer or other quiet times during meeting.
as a personal experience of mine, the night before i had eaten a frozen pizza, doritos, and some old chocolate milk.
this combination produced the worst smelling brew i have ever had.

2/3 of all JW's are women and what it implies
by Mindchild ina few weeks back, kinsman posted a link about a recent survey of religion in america which showed that 68% of all jehovah's witnesses were female, which is the highest ratio of women to men in any religion in the usa.. i believe the reason for this unbalance in adherents in favor of women comes down to two fundamental reasons.
the first is shunning and the second is the appeal of the "family type atmosphere" that the witnesses pretend to offer.. we all know the power of shunning keeps a lot of people trapped inside the collective, and just due to the fact that women are enculturated more with having emotional bonds with others, makes it a bit tougher to leave family and friends behind.
this doesn't mean that men don't suffer emotionally, but the general trend is more for men to suppress their feelings and damn the emotional torpedoes and go full speed ahead out of the bad dream.. this suggests to me, that if there is a major modification of the shunning policy, the largest exodus will be in the female ranks.

Reasoning on reasons for disfellowshiping
by jed459 inthe only valid scriptual reason for disfellowshipping is if someone has committed a serious sin like having sex with his father's wife as paul said and is unrepentant.. or if someone has denied the faith and are deliberately teaching others against the true gospel to mislead them.
so unless jws really do have the true faith, they cannot scriptually disfellowship anyone unless they are unrepentant over a sin which is as serious as paul said.
yet in most cases the disfellowshiped person has not commited such a sin as that.

Just like any other cult, without shunning of family freinds and members they would eventualy die out.

Wow, two thirds that alot.I too often wondered why there were more women in the congragations.I think more men are able to just chuck everything and walk away than women.I think the women are alot more emotionaly envolved making the fear and guilt factor harder to break free from.I think men tend to be slightly better analitical and critical thinkers whitch is disaster for the wtbts. sorry to streotype
