  They GB pays lip service to their own fallibility, but make no mistake, the rank-and-file are expected to behave as though they’re infallible.

  careful - “… yes, Jaracz was definitely a throw back to Rutherford, eh?”

  I’ve long held the opinion that if there’s any justice to the universe, those two are cellmates in Hell.

  Hell, I’ve long suspected Jaracz maneuvered his way up the WTHQ ladder and ruled with an iron fist specifically to position himself to deal harshly with any perceived threats.

  Its an old and well-worn tyrant’s tactic, after all.

  careful - “…in the case of Ray Franz someone very powerful was out to get him, Ted Jaracz…”

  Huh.

  It’s been a while since I read COC, so I don’t remember that, but I definitely find it plausible.

  That’s just the kind of disproportionally punitive action that an (alleged) sex offender with an authoritarian streak a mile wide would take, the moment he felt the slightest bit threatened.

  And Old Man Jaracz would have absolutely felt threatened simply by Ray’s general decency.

  ever since the annual meeting last october and the letter to bodies of elders stating that "exceptional young men perhaps in their early 20's could qualify for appointment as elders.." it even states this in the updated elders manual!

  have any of you pimo's, pimq's, or those on here with family/friends still in hear of any young men being appointed as elders yet?

  i am talking 21, 22, 23, 24 etc.

  SydBarrett - “…why do conspiracy kooks love to use the word ‘planet’ so much? They never say ‘world’ or ‘Earth’. It's always ‘<insert paranoid nonsense> on the planet’…”

  It sounds more dramatic.

  Hell, I use it for that specific reason, and I’m not even a conspiracy theorist.

  re. Menrov’s post…

  I think a compelling argument could be made that “sexual assault” wasn’t even viewed as a thing in Biblical times.

  Sure, it happened, but given that daughters, sisters, and wives were first and foremost property, the OT penalties mandated for such offences more closely resembled the kind of things imposed on someone guilty of theft or vandalism.

  My favourite female protagonists: Ellen Ripley

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  2. entertainment

  and my next favourite female protagonist is ellen ripley, played by sigourney weaver.. ripley only just survived in ridley scott's alien (1979).. the sequel, james cameron's aliens (1986), was mostly about ripley overcoming her trauma from the first film.. she also ends up seriously kicking ass.. ripley is probably my favourite protagonist of all time.. the following clip is lovely.

  newt calls her mommy 🥰.

  ok, so another favourite female protagonist of mine is ellen ripley, played by sigourney weaver.

  she just about overcame the xenomorph in ridley scott's alien (1979).

  and she spent most of james cameron's aliens (1986) getting over her trauma.. here's some nice footage of newt calling ripley 'mommy' .... https://youtu.be/7fjana93kea.
