  who likes Battlestar Gallactica?

  by Dogpatch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am curious how many of you watch this.

  i find it far more fascinating than many other shows, but i am biased, always had a flair for traditional horror as well as quality sc-fi.

  but the producers intentionally dumb down the special effects (filmed in hd but virtually posterized for effect outdoors) so as to focus on the plot lines and character development.

  "She simply deleted MissingLink as a friend on facebook cuz he wrote some scathing reviews of the Society's publications"

  I was deleted by four JW's "friends" from Facebook too. Simply because they heard a rumor of me having doubts. But they haven't spoken to me or question me anything. In the recent convention I was invisible for one of them.

  I am an active JW in good standing. Go figure.

  From the 70's I love The Mary Tyler Moore Show and All in the family (I've seen them recently). But when I was a young girl I watch every week Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman.

  hi everyone, i'm new here, been viewing the board for a while, decided to join yesterday.. so i'm about 95% convinced now the wts is bogus, but i'm still in coz as yall know leaving is the hardest part.

  i plan on doing a fade to avoid the complete disconnection, but first want to gradually help my gf to see things too.

  in the meantime, i'm just wondering how many of you are still "active" jdubs?

  How many of us remember the Jonestown massacre?

  by that i meant - how many remember being an active jw when this happened?.

  what was the general reaction from the rank & file, the elders, even the co/do?

  does anybody remember there being magazine articles on this?.

  I was 10 years old when it happened and I remember it vividly. The scene: hundreds of people lying dead. From the air they looked like confetti. I don't remember the reactions in my congregation, but at home was pure shock.

  i've been lurking for some time, since i was "disconnected" by my husband, "tooktheredpill".

  i'm a 3rd generation witness, and still inside of the borg, because all my family is inside.
