The greatest movies ever made.......

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

and they were amazing, 8 years of my boy growing up captured on a few films i once made.. the past is of course not the only thing to look forward to, but as i watch these movies i see so many acts of love and so many perfect times that i had forgotten.. so my question is do you have " the greatest ( photos) or movies in your collection" that you may have neglected?

.

if so my xmas present to you is, take them out the drawer and dust the cobwebs away...... the rebel..

In the 60s my father had bought an 8mm camera. Each film was about 6 mins long, no sound and b&w. He took a film once or twice a year as it was expensive to buy the film. They've been transferred to a DVD.

Hubby and I hired a VHS recorder a couple of times when the kids were younger and couldn't afford the expense of buying one in the 80s. There was a toy b&w camera being sold in the toy shop which was fairly cheap. It connected to the TV and VHS recorder and we used that for years. The picture and sound was great and we were able to capture the kids on it as they were growing up.

Photo's are good but having the film brings back the memories so much that you feel you are living those moments again.

Thanks for the reminder.

Are you in the UK & being shunned?

by Diogenesister in

call on exjwreddit for experiences of those in the uk being shunned to send in to the uk charity commission.

(just realized the title of this post sounds like you're being shunned because you're in the uk!!

Listener

Cappytan, not trusting someone with personal information and hating them are two very different things.

He wants names, telephone numbers and details of any emotional or physiological effects shunning has had. A person should consider very carefully whether to divulge this sort of information to anyone, let alone a stranger.

Trying to Forget the Four Cruel "Sisters" From Three Different Congregations

by Loi_241 in

i had a problem with four cruel "sisters" from three different congregations.

i was learning how to manage my emotion to these women because they were strong emotion to me.

i know the scripture inform me to not to hold against them as god will take care of them.

Listener

Loi, it might help if you try to think about the nice things they've done. I can see a lot of positive things about these people just in what you have written.

Diogenesister are you personally recommending that we give our private details to John Cedars/Lloyd Evans?

Sorry for the occasional unintentional 'dislike'

by paul from cleveland in

i read this forum on my phone so occasionally, as i'm scrolling down the page, i accidentally touch the 'dislike' button on a comment.

i don't have the option to 'undislike' after i touch it.

once i touch the button, i can't change it.

Listener

Our votes are not anonymous then, the moderators know who we are personally liking and disliking.

greetings,it seems that jw immediately assume that all "wordly" people (as they like to call it) are immoral and unworthy of their trust.

i sort of understand how it can be dangerous for a christian to have association with someone who doesn't share their values, but don't you think that some members take the conceal lied in corinthians 15:33 to the extreme?

what about romans 2:14?

Listener

I'd love to know how they handle this sort of situation in the workplace. Over the years I've found myself having to travel with a male workmate for one reason or not.

Come to think of it, I was assigned to a project with a guy and it was only through being alone with him and travelling that I found out he was a JW. We got on great and he didn't think twice about the issue of us being alone.

Bloodless surgery is the standard today because of medical progress. Or NOT?

by Nathan Natas in

it appears diogenesister feels a need for a proper ass-kicking.. ok, if you insist.

i'm a dub proctologist.... attempting to hijack greatteacher's thread "jw parents in severe car accident,".

diogenesister seized my observation that "bloodless surgery is the standard today, not because of the wtb&ts but because of medical progress" with he carefully-crafted argument "bull crap.".

Listener

Would they also like to take the credit for doctors and the legal profession finding ways to have children's medical treatment being dealt with urgently when necessary, through court orders? The legal process is pretty much streamlined these days.

According to their own rules the wife did the wrong thing by interrupting her husband and telling him how to handle things.

JW Broadcasting - December 2015

They've stopped putting up a label which displays the speakers name and title during the intro. The first month this started happening was November 2015.

Talking about titles, ther'es a section with two JW 'brothers' and one is appointed an MS. In typical fashion the focus appears to be on being appointed with a title rather than doing good for others simply because it is the right thing to do.

In the past we taught it, but now we teach other thing....

by opusdei1972 in

i have been reading the watchtower study edition of march 2016. here some deceptive statements so as to justify their new lights:.

when were gods people held captive by babylon the great?.

that spiritual captivity lasted from the second century c.e.

Listener

OpuisDei1972 - That captivity began sometime in the second century C.E. and continued until the cleansing of the spiritual temple in the time of the end

The cleansing of the temple was supposed to have occurred between 1914 and 1918/9 yet if God's people were still in captivity until 1919 then there was no one in the Spiritual Temple at that time, there was nothing to be cleansed because it was vacant.
