  From The Matrix (my favorite movie of all times)

  Morpheus: "Welcome to the real world."

  Morpheus: "Come on. Stop trying to hit me and hit me."

  Cypher: "I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss."

  Neo (the first time he returned to the Matrix): "I used to eat there. Really good noodles. I have these memories from my life. None of them happened. What does that mean?"
  Trinity: "That the Matrix cannot tell you who you are."

  Do you believe in fate, Neo?
  Neo:
  No.

  Morpheus:
  Why not?

  Neo:
  Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.

  Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now...in this very room.
  You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television.
  You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes.
  It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes....to blind you from the truth.

  Neo:
  What truth?

  Morpheus:
  That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage.
  Born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison....for your mind.

  Morpheus: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.

  Boy (to Neo): "There is no spoon"

  Dubs and doorbells -- has there been some "new light"?

  this afternoon my husband looked out the window and saw two unmistakable dubs shuffling up our street.

  he didn't have time to warn me before they came to our door (he knows i get a bit testy whenever they visit).

  i was in a nearby room, but heard nothing, saw nothing.

  It is different where I live because we have to say "good morning" loud in every house. So, no pretending.

  this post has gotten quite long so i decided to break it up into at least two sections.

  i hope it doesnt come across as rambling.

  i should start with a confession: it was my smurf that walked out of the kingdom hall in the early 80's.

  How many of the 144K anointed were in your congregation

  2. friends

  growing up in the spanish congregation in chicago - i knew 4-5 of this supposed anointed.

  all of them no longer are jw, 2-3 of them started their own religionthe other 2 was a mother and son.

  they never went house to house, never raised their hands in meetings, never went to the book study we held is our own private homes.

  People who would never have been born...if the WTBTS was right!

  by gaiagirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i watched several movies this week, and afterwards, i was thinking about how many performers in those movies would never have been born if armageddon had come in the fall of 1975 as advertised.

  stardust featured clare danes and charlie cox, both born long since 1975. resident evil: extinction featured milla jovovitch, whose birthday is actually in december 1975, but it is likely that her parents would have already been dead by then, as they aren't witnesses.

  anyone else have favorite people (actors or not) who would not have been born if 1975 had lived up to the big buildup?

  I think I just became an unbaptized bible study student apostate

  by AddaGirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had some major questions regarding 607 bce which directly affect the doctrine of 1914. my teacher, admitting being weak on history, could not answer my questions.

  i started researching and found that the appropriate dates for the "seventy years" were appearing to be 609 bce to 539 bce, the ruling period of babylon.

  this meant that everything i was being taught based on 1914 was in effect, a lie.

  I was looking for a name in a baby names website. I found out that Akira means intelligent in Japanese. I did not know it was an animated film, but I liked it anyway.
