Why not use real demons in movies?

by White Dove in

jw
friends

why does hollywood use special effects for demonized movies if demons are supposed to be real?

that has bothered me for years.

i did ask this question in a tiny post on another thread but thought this question needed some considering.

They already do use real demons. Didn't you know all the directors have sold their souls to the debbils, and just pretend to use special effects?

OK EVERYONE.... WHEN DO YOU HANG YOUR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS???

hello again.... ok..i have the christmas bug already, and am wondering when everyone actually puts up all the clips and hang their lights?

i understand traditionally lights go on the day after thanksgiving...right?

so...my question is do you start that day or weeks before so you can sit back and enjoy the lights getting flipped on the day after thanksgiving??

Last year I put out a Halloween tree around Halloween. I put away all the other holiday decor, but the Halloween tree is still out, being used as a key-holder. This year, we're celebrating Halloween straight through from now until New Year's Eve - with halloween tree, lights, etc. (mostly indoors last year), but I'm thinking outdoors this year; buying more halloween stuff for outside too, I mean.

I think I want to hang the American Corporate Flag instead. Unfortunately, my neighbors might lynch me.

I'm curious what the message in the Bible is to you?

we all have our own understanding of the christian belief , but i was wondering what others interpret the stories as .. and if it isn't what guides your journey what does?

I see the bible as semi-historical, mythological entertainment with some weird acid trips thrown into it.

If I didn't have anything else available for kindling, it wouldn't hurt my feelings to use one for that purpose, since they are so ubiquitous; however, it bothers my conscience to waste a tree or a cow making a bible more than it would bother me to use the cow or tree to make a book of science.

Who has been Disfellowshipped or Reproved the most times?

my diehard, hardcore, zealous, door knocking ex-wife has been disfellowshipped three times and reproved twice.

i think that is a lot of suffering for one life.

if it happens again, at least they don't have a name for it......oompa

That's really sad about your wife and son. What a crazy way to live and be.

If I remember correctly, I think I was privately reproved once, publically reproved once, and then d'f'ed once. It was sorta' complicated, but whateva!

by Gopher in

we have such an interesting group of people from around the world on this board.

it might be interesting to have a thread where you discuss a hobby, something interesting that happened in the past, somewhere you've been, etc.. not deep, dark confessions - just interesting stuff.. .

* i have travelled into all 48 american states that are not named alaska or hawaii.. * for the past few years, i have had a slight walking impairment due to a form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis.

SO MUCH FOR PREVIOUS TRADITIONAL MORALS

by REBORNAGAIN in

jw

the city of philadelphia has decided to punish the boy scouts of america because it will not allow homosexuals to serve as scout leaders.

city officials said they will charge the cradle of liberty scouts council $200,000 a year to use the city-owned headquarters.

the council was paying $1 per year (since 1928).

Why would you think natural affection would cause emotional/phychological damage to a child?

Isn't that what we're all trying to ask/answer in a million words or less?

I suspect the answer is somewhere between, "I don't know" and "gay people make me feel icky."

J-O,

Just wondering, if the child does get confused, why couldn't you un-confuse them? It's usually pretty easy for adults to un-confuse a 6-year-old.

Also, maybe you're not giving the 6-year-old enough credit for his/her natural, healthy, and irrepressible intuition about normal, healthy love.

I think that our cultural double-standards are the most confusing things of all.
