i'll start .
the wings of honneamise.
one of the most thought provoking movie i have scene.
I swear Lucas fumbled the ball worse than Adrian Peterson with Maul. Maul had so much potential, but Lucas was too interested in telling friggin love story. Save that crap for Meg Ryan.

This scene in Scarface always made me laugh. I haven't tried this yet, and I probably shouldn't.

Another favorite of mine. Any man who can rock feathered earrings is a god amongst men.
first off, forgive me if i'm guilty of being judgemental.
i got my own fair share of mental problems.
it goes without saying that a bunch of us on this forum are misfits and freaks.
While again, I agree with you Broken Promises, I think you've missed the entire point of this thread. Its not about putting down JWs who post here for whatever their various reasons may be. I'm a Jehovah's Witness as are many on here. The question is, are there any proWT JWs that post here who are rational and can debate respectfully, without condenscension or insults. I made a point to say in the opening post that this board can be heavy handed towards proWT JWs, and I find the trend disturbing. However, at times, which seems like most, the heavy handidness is a reaction to the insulting nature of the proWT JWs that post here. This thread is not simply about Eggnogg, but rather about his ilk in general. Its nice having Respectful Oberserver here, although his kind is an exception. All the other proWT types have been your Eggnoggs, Spike Tassels, Angel Eyes, etc..
By the way, Broken Promises, I think we get along ok, that being said, PM me, or even do a thread. Because I could be wrong, but you've had a real bug up your azz lately I've noticed. Not just this post, but a couple others in other threads that seem out of nature for you. I may be looking too far into your posts, but your not the same sweel lil Broken Promises any longer. You've turned into a Broken Promises that wishes to break noses.
if you were even born into a religion, would you feel that you had to get out?
( the only religion that i know of where people get out and often never go to any other religion is the jw religion)..
The Sith.
i am a former dub, born and raised and left at the age of 18. i was baptised at nine, aux pioneer, regular pioneer and around 16 started to see the light.
my parents give me the heave-ho the day i hit 18 (at midnight, to be precise.
) i was marked at 17 for dating a "worldly".
Welcome CherryPie, and congratulations on your success. It makes me happy to see your strory contradict what the WT prints in regards to those that leave.

If you support your country, but don't agree entirely, does that also make you a hypocrite?
Shadow, this is different though. You have to pay taxes. You have to obey the law. If you don't, there's consequences. On the other hand, you don't have to vote left, or right. You didn't have to support Bush, or Obama. You don't have to be a Jehovah's Witness. Nobody is forcing you to, with the exception of children and teenagers. For the rest of us adults, we only stay because of our families. We know much of the WT's doctrine is nonsense, however we suppress voicing our opinions, or leaving entirely for the sake of keeping peace in our families, or salvaging our families entirely. In that sense, we compromise our own integrity out of fear. Many of us just don't have the balls to hurt our families. At least I don't. Its one thing to not entirely agree with the WT's doctrines, its another thing entirely, to speak out about what you disagree with. There's major repurcussions involved.
Again, nobody is putting a gun to your head, you can choose to leave. Or you can remain fearful, or when a believing dub states something you disagree with, you smile and nod your head like everything is kosier. Or you can be a hypocrite like me, and stand on the platform and "take the lead" in promoting things that you secretly disagree with.
the watchtower and awake have given some warnings in the past concerning materials available via the internet.
apostate and porn sites, violent games, useless and frivolous entertainment, and so on.
for now, they are contended with just giving friendly warnings.
They have to be careful putting that kind of admonition out. The internet for doubting cult members is like boys are to Catholic school girls. The more you try to seperate the two, the more the latter will seek out what they think they're missing, often with much satisfaction. The WT puts out an article going overboard on the potential of running into brazen apostacy on the internet, the chances increase that publishers will become curious and even act on their curiosity. Personally, I think apostacy is a second hand reason the WT criticises the internet for primary reasons being pornography, and the WEB being time consuming. Make no mistake about it, pornography is a HUGE problem right now. I'm hearing more and more stories of brothers getting removed for this. Two of which in my own congregation. Lets be honest, the internet can be time consuming. You ever notice in the articles they do put out that are anti-Internet, they throw out the usual suspects, and then a small blip on apostacy. They're purposely avoiding going too hard at apostacy on the web because they don't want the unintended effect of publshers curiosity getting the best of them, especially those already having doubts and needing confirmation of what they already have suspicions on.
enough of "rules" that intend to "put us in our place".... to suggest such a thing is a hate crime.. we are.. we have a voice...let us make it louder.
women unite!!!!.
do not believe a lie....refuse second class citizenship....enough explaining to males, and begging.
Interesting fellas, it appears the more estrogen inclined of our species is seeing fit to organize themselves and further their social status. What should we do about this?
i have been collecting the public talk outlines.
i have almost all of them but there are a few missing.
i have tiles for some but just numbers for others.
LOL, this is so messed up LOL. You know, you can't even get a hold of the talk outlines in congregations, unless you have a key to the file room. Its hilarious that everything an elder needs is right here on an apostate message board!!
yesterday during the witchtower study, every one was.
talking about how wonderful paradise will be with no food.
shortages, perfect weather, no pollution, no disease, and be.
MLE, actually, you said it. If I was made a perfect human being, why in the hell would I want to sit around petting animals? Collared shirts? Why is every freakin WT article have males in khakis and button down shirts or polos and females in skirts? Seriously? You want me to live like that? HELL NO!
Perfect mind, perfect body, perfect world, I'll be engineering a space ship and getting off the JW fairytale world ASAP!!!
LOL Exactly!!! It'll be nice to have a six pack of abs, and a mind that would make Einstein blush. Why would I want to spend an eternity gardening in khakis and petting animals. Seriously WTF?!??!
