  Steampunk Noir Jazz with Jennifer Connelly

  by inkling in

  so, not too long ago i saw the movie "dark city".

  it's a beautiful (if somewhat flawed) movie, best known for being the matrix before the matrix, and one of it's several patches of light is this sultry dark haired dame, played by jennifer connelly.. .

  her character moonlights as a jazz singer in a smoke filled dimly lit bar.

  Agree with everything you said. The original vocals fit the film far better

  if so, did it bother you that he had been reprooved and forgiven rather than reported to the police?

  It may be "bad form" to bring up old topics. This one needs it, just to show the BS of the JW's

  Disfellowship and the jackson

  by alexb123 in

  firstly, letoya jackson is on big brother uk and shes was talking about how micheal was meant to shun her when she left the jw's.

  i was just reading up on which jackson are still in the cult and it appears their mum is but she has not been disfellowshipped for still talking to her kids because she has a lot of money is this true?.

  also, what happens if a husband and wife are jw's and one of them leaves, does the husband then shun the wife etc?.

  Sueing the WTBTS

  by Watkins in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  does anyone know --- has anyone ever successfully sued the wtbts after being disfellowshipped and losing the natural affections of their family, as per wtbts directions to 'shun'?

  i guess it would be 'alienation of affection' or something else... i don't know.

  i'm lucky to have had no family members in the cult - but i've read horrendous stories of the effects disfellowshipping has had on others - lives effectively ruined by losing mates, children, parents, friends, jobs, homes... suicides, murder/suicide - all devestating results of the cult's edicts.

  Ted Jaracz is not one of Christ’s Brothers – Special Day Assembly Report

  by zarco in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during a recent special day assembly program, ted said that woman in a physically abusive marriage should submit to her husband so that eventually her husbands may respond to their submission and come to worship god.

  my family was completely shocked.

  can you imagine the culpability and responsibility of this man who claims to speak for the christ to encourage women to get beat up as way to encourage their abusive husbands to come into the truth.

  Would Getting Back To Basics Help The JW Religion Attract More Followers?

  by minimus in

  if witnesses highlighted love, wouldn't you think the organization would grow?.

  or if they stressed bible doctrines more than rules, do you believe they might produce a larger, happier community?.

  Nope. Cat's already outta the bag w/ the internet, etc. As it becomes increasingly important in business, everyday life, etc., they'll be unable to staunch the bleeding.

  Ynot, I really don't care. I don't see color, race, culture, etc. as issues. What I think Chris Rock was pointing out is how you get treated in this country based on appearance, from any side. I personally could'nt care less what anyone's race, gender, preference is. It's how you treat people.
