Hey hey Cheez and MFer! What's happening (Bill Lumbergh voice). So Cheez I thought about Louisiana and no Gieger familiarity here. All that came up is that its the Pelican State, which I learned many years ago thanks to Fletch.

i was trying to watch this movie with will smith titled "seven pounds".. i got an hour and 15 mins.

in and i just had to turn it off.. what a waste of time.. so what are some or your least favorite movies?

or some you just couldn't finish, they were just so bad?.

unshackled

The Notebook....of course Mrs. Unshackled loves it.

The Day the Earth Stood Still, Keanu Reeves version. On my death bed I hope my final fleeting thoughts are not regret over those 2 wasted hours.

Were You Ever Involved in A Judicial Committee Either As An Elder Or A "Sinner"?

how did it turn out?.

3 times as a "sinner"...booted on the 3rd. I would drunkenly cut parking meters in half with a pipe cutter. They didn't approve of my fight against "the man" Caesar.

More hypocrisy (surprised?) Oct 1 2011 Public Watchtower

by wannabefree in

you could also hold back from scrutinizing.

your beliefs out of fear that doing so would.

display a lack of faith.

wannabefree....if I may add another, there's this piece of vomit-inducing hypocrisy on page 3, first paragraph:

HAVE YOU BEEN LIED TO?

FEW experiences hurt more than learning
that someone you trust has lied to you.
You might feel humiliated, angry, or even
betrayed. Lies destroy friendships and marriages;
they defraud people of countless millions of dollars.

the day i was born into a cult was at baptisam.....sadly thats the day my freedom was kissed goodbye.

(sincere and faithful as i was).

the early belivers in christ were thrown to lions rather than renounce their sincerity and faith.

Myo...I see we made simultaneous posts, good call on your reversal. I look forward to reading your life story post.

Um, okay first (since it seems to be demanded)...welcome myohorengekyo.

With a dab of respect and a pinch of integrity this post was shamelessly written by UN-SHA-CK-LED on his 1322nd post. I'd suggest re-reading SBC's post as it does indeed contain answers to your questions. Just not from the perspective you are wanting to view it from.

Movie Critic Roger Ebert - Former JW

by RayPublisher in

and he's not very complementary about 'em either.... http://survivaljournals.blogspot.com/2011/03/roger-ebert-former-jehovahs-witness.html.

.

btw i love his movie reviews they are down to earth and not snobby.

The writer of the blog post linked in the OP is a little confused. Roger Ebert didn't write that story. Stephen Pate wrote it and it started with his interaction with Roger Ebert on Twitter, and it was Pate that went on to share his JW story.

Here's the link to the original source:

Atheist Fascism

by Band on the Run in

jw
friends

it is so draining for me to constantly read threads by atheists that assert that those of who are uncertain or have faith have irrational minds.

god can not be proven or unproven.

the harping is tedious.

unshackled

This thread reminded me of certain magazine...

"A NEW group of atheists has arisen in society. Called the new atheists, they are not content to keep their views to themselves. Rather, they are on a crusade, “actively, angrily, passionately trying to persuade the religious to their point of view,” wrote columnist Richard Bernstein."

Evil, evil atheists are everywhere! They dominate our politics and school boards. If you say you believe in god, good luck becoming president. Only atheists are voted into any form of politics. But the one thing that really pisses me off most about them is their churches, rallies and organizations are tax exempt.
