Documentary: God Loves Uganda

has anyone seen the film called god loves uganda?

i just watched it on netflix, and i highly recommend it!

it's a recent documentary that premiered at the sundance film festival last year.. it shows how the american evangelical right wing christian groups has changed the face of uganda by sending missionaries there, setting up churches, and indoctrinating ugandans with their brand of christianity.

I've seen it, it really is something.

I just noticed this tactic

by problemaddict in

in reading terrys latest post, if made me think of something that exists and many of us have experienced but i have not really put into a logical thoughts process before.

in terrys 4 facts everyone should know about jw's, the second one referrs to the walsh trial where unity is said to be more important than truth, in no uncertain terms.. this made me think about how one would bring up this fact.

my mind wandered to the beginning of my fade, when inevitably, many of us open up our mouths and say too much.

My dad had the same response when I told him to research 607. He could not grasp that the "world" doesn't care or even give 607 a second thought, so of course, only apostates are talking about 607 When he googled it.

if the mind is made up, nothing really matters. They won't see it until they are ready.

Atlanta Int Convention 2014:The Big Party. Does this look like WT believes Armageddon is coming "soon"?

by AndDontCallMeShirley in

.. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.

instead of preaching and saving people??.

not-Shirly, What's worse about that directions is the top three stations on that line have lots of parking, including several big multi-level decks. the only reason I can think they want them to use the blue line is because they think they are too stupid to change trains downtown.

I told my wife if nothing else they should drive all the way to the airport and park where there are huge lots.

actually now that I think about it, thoes lots chage a little for parking since they are in a wealthy area, but Holms doesn't. Could they be that petty? That north springs station area that he shows on the map, where he lives, is amoung the weathiest nesghords outside the perimeter.

All I know is I would NEVER park my car at the Holmes MARTA station.

we never had music and activites after a convention, who here didn't go in service after the convention, especially in the days of 4 or more day day long convention.

Without Fail...

on a non-jw related note... my wife put up a bee hive on the back part of our property two weeks ago.

her and my daughter are very proud of it.. there is an old dead tree that needed to come down.

i meant to do it before she got the bees, but circumstance was that i didn't.

Glad it worked out. Growing up my uncle kept bees, I think it was really cool, and I probably would now if it wasn't in a neighborhood.
