i saw a really great independent film over the weekend.
it is called "the eye"; it is a horror movie about a blind girl who gets a cornea transplant so she can gain her eyesight.. once she can see she starts to see dead people and those about to die.. check out the site: http://www.mongkolfilm.com/theeye/index_th.html
Hi Sandy,
I saw that last year over here in the UK. Really enjoyed it. Shades of the Sixth Sense but that scene in the lift freaked me out.
A good new film just opened over here is Dark Water. It's directed by the same guy who did Ring (the jap version). Saw it last night. Starts off slow but scared me silly near the end.

leave it to me to be clearing out my old cd collection.
lo and behold, i find a cd from 1994: elastica's cd (uk).. man, i don't know what the hell they're up to, but man i loved this chick-lead band.. of course, their hit: connection .
....still makes my nipples hard when i hear it.
Ah Elastica. I also liked Echobelly, Sleeper, Menswear, James, Mansun and a few others I can't think of now.
Edited to add:
Doh how I could forget bands like The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and the Inspiral Carpets.

our niece, irene, who posts here as inky, sent me an email.
her 27 year old son is getting married in two weeks, and she posted a few days ago about how he didn't invite her to his wedding.. she told me i can post it as she doesn't want to read it again.. "dear mom.
i've needed to write this letter to you for some time now.
Just thought i'd quote the latest Awake for all the JW lurkers out there.
"These examples illustrate the powerful influence that certain groups have had on the thinking of some people. Charismatic leaders have got people to do the "unthinkable" by tempting them with some supposed benefit".
Like influencing them to write the words found in the letter Inky received from her son.

so far for album of the year 2003 is the white stripes "elephant".
using vintage instaments and laying them down on an old 8 track give this album an old school flavor.
with the energy of the buzzcocks with an instamental sound of vintage stones
Any of you heard The Darkness?
I love Get Your Hands Off My Woman.

this was taken from the main article "why so many violent crimes now?".
hate groups and cults.
evidence suggests that some hate groups or cults have been a strong influence in the commission of certain crimes.
The only problem with linking the JW's to this article is that they have NO charismatic leaders!
Your right about lacking charismal. JWs still fawn over them though.
And yes, I do look a lot like Bill Bailey.

Hate Groups and Cults
Evidence suggests that some hate groups or cults have been a strong influence in the commission of certain crimes. In Indiana, U.S.A., a 19-year-old black man was walking home from a shopping mall. Moments later, he was lying on the side of the street with a bullet in his brain. He had been shot by a young man who picked him at random. Why? The assassin allegedly wanted to gain membership in a white-supremacist organization and to earn a spiderweb tattoo fo having killed a black person.
The 1995 nerve-gas attack in a Tokyo subway; the Jonestown, Guyana, mass suicide; and the deaths in Switzerland, Canada and France of 69 members of the Order of the Solar Temple were all cult inspired. These examples illustrate the powerful influence that certain groups have had on the thinking of some people. Charismatic leaders have got people to do the "unthinkable" by tempting them with some benefit.
Such as "don't take blood and you'll be resurrected in paradise" or "shun your family and you'll get everlasting life".?
Thoughts?
Ignored One of the "trying to post other than fluff" class.
just curious.
for those of you who made it out to the yesterdays ex-jw meet-up: how was it?.
tell us, only if you want to, what city you are from, and your impressions of the meet-up.. the toronto meet-up went off fine.
Well ours went ahead but I didn't go due to having some studies that needed finishing.
Next month definitely though.

when i read the thread about trumans experience with the brothers making a call i thought: .
why not feign amnesia?
you answer the door and say you are not brother/sister so & so.
You could just have Fatboy Slim's "F***ing in Heaven" playing loudly when you open the door.

well, i finally got a response to my letter, and it only took them almost three months!
models of efficiency, they are.
actually, big tex and i think they had to run this through the legal department.
Hmm, I see someone has just taken a large dump on this thread.
Oh wait a minute it was just SOJ talking crap again.
Listen, you're supposed to open your mouth not your ass when you go to speak.
I bet the elders love you in your cong. They probably send you round to 'comfort' the depressed. I even bet you tie the noose for them.

major thumbs down on this one!
read this post that i "procured" from jwzone:i didn't get the impression that they were talking specifically about nitwit.net...for all its reputation, i don't think it had a bad start.
in the beginning, "stinky" posts were removed promptly, and the offender was booted.
