i loved it!
i would be laughing my ass off one minute and crying the next, then tapping my feet to the beat of his music the next.. ray didn't hold any of the truth back, even his bad points were there for all to see.
and as for jaime foxx, he definately deserves an oscar.
*wiping tears from my eyes*
Just got back from seeing Ray. Man, was it great. I saw Ray in person in the early 70's in St. Louis and it looked like the same hall he played in in the movie.
Great trip down memory lane.
I agree, Jamie Fox did a GREAT job of playing Ray.

lol @ koolkeithfl and welcome to the board.
love it when someone is trying to say something and the tongue chooses to rearrange the wording.
i think my favorite was one sunday a particular ms who had a thing for perfectionism was announcing the song to be sung "jehovah's happy people".
it came out "jehovah's happy peepee".
"Please forgive us our falling shorts"
My brother said that in his prayer in the early 70's. There was a group of us camping and swimming at Johnson Shut-Ins in MO, where there are all kinds of rapids and waterfalls and he said that during the lunch prayer. Yes, he was at bethel later and told people of his slip. Too funny.

Smurfs = little blue devils, according to the hispanic brother in our congo. He even shared with us the story of a smurf jumping up and running out of the KH!!! (He was so intelligent striving to be an elder.) My kids loved watching the smurf cartoon and it was hard for me to tell them no. lol
Cabbage Patch Dolls, I made them for my kids. I didn't hear of any problems with them. Oh well, must have been the continent you lived on.

you are invited to attend a conference of former jws october 21-24 at 1835 n. western in wenatchee wa 98801. this is an annual event organized by richard rawe and his associates.
richard is the exjw who's story was portrayed in the "good faith" off broadway play.
if you are like me the word conference conjures feeling associated the word convention.

i'm going to preface these comments with a disclaimer: in no way am i meaning these observations to be inflamatory, exclusionary, or to devalue anyone.
i believe everyone has a right to their opinion, and observations, and to share themwithin the terms of the board.
i also believe that there is learning to be found from a variety of sources.
I wanted to open the dialogue so maybe everyone would end up empowered or gaining more from their own experience here.excellent point.
Anytime we put up barriers, labels, etc. we limit our mental capacity to emphathize with fellow human beings.

when i "disassociated" myself in the early 90's i thought that finally i could go on with my life and not have to be subjuected to wt rules and regulations.
wrong!
my family will not let it go.
When family and friends treat us as you described, it hurts. But get beyond the hurt and see who is doing the screaming and causing a scene.
I say keep saying hello, just brace for the bizarre reaction. Realize it is their silly rules and if you act normal, maybe someday they will get out from under the WT mind control.
welcome to the board.

lol @ poor ....."millionaire celebrity homemaker"
It does seem odd that the president can lie about WoMD and causes 1,000 solders to lose their life, whereas Martha lies to protect her $$$$$ and look who goes to jail.
