  Favourite New Film

  by jhine in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  l recently went to watch green book , which l thought was excellent , it had everything , it took me though the whole range of emotions , from anger to joy , laughing then wanting to cry .

  the quiet dignity of dr shirley mixed with volatile nature of tony lipp and seeing their emerging friendship was wonderful .

  what really shook me was that these attitudes existed in my lifetime , not that long ago .

  Saw Green Book tonight. It's probably one of my top five favourite films.

  Rationalizing

  2. child-abuse

  i have been looking to see what pimi jdubs feel about the csa when they hear it.i just stumbled upon this.. " in jehovah’s witness congregations, victims, parents, or anyone else, have always been free to report allegations of child sexual abuse to the police.

  the troubling reality is that many chose not to do it.

  they alerted congregation elders and went no further.

  Thank you Sir82.

  Almost every sentence is factually incorrect. This phrase stands out as the biggest lie of 2019 so far...

  It is rare for a Witness leader to be an abuser - WTF!

  What is the 'CSA'?

  I'm honest about feeling different from popular politically correct feeling

  Hatred for a regime that persecutes people for peaceful worship is not 'political correctness'. Stop flattering yourself. Your not an enigma you are just very ignorant.

  I don't know what is more offensive - the spelling, grammar or content.

  First Brexit, is SCOTCH-EXIT next?

  mrs. may-hem seems happy to allow the no-deal scenario to go ahead if her deal isn't accepted.. if that scenario occurs, we can expect yet another push for a referendum to vote for scotland's "independence.

  " independence would simply mean replacing the overlords of the westminster parliament with a new set of overlords in brussels, because the scottish national party is desperate to join the eu.

  "independence" is so liberating!.

  Ireland has said that it doesn’t want a hard border on the island, and the EU have said “we’ve got your back on this” - SBF

  It is Westminster who are saying there will be no hard border in Ireland under any circumstances. The EU are insisting there will be one if we don't agree a deal.

  I know you don't believe in facts but make an effort.

  the right to religious freedom is enshrined in almost all the world's Constitutions...the least that Russia could do is bring the guilty government personal to justice.

  There is no religious freedom in Russia. It is in the grip of extreme Eurasian nationalism. The person behind the policy to torture peaceable JWs is Vladimir Putin. Nothing of significance happens in Russia without his approval.

  Despite your never-ending flights of fancy you cannot divine reality out of your own imagination. Sometimes you have make the effort to read a book.

  in the Russian government's eye they are extremist and who's to say they are wrong? - Brokeback

  Anybody who knows anything about the Watchtower and/or anything about Putin's Russia.

  No JW has committed a terrorist act in the history of the organisation.

  I wouldn't trust the wee wifies in Holyrood to run a raffle let alone a country.

  The majority of Scots want Indy put in the bottom drawer for the foreseeable future and for the SNP to get on with running the country using the extensive powers they already have.
