yeah, so i've bought this film recently but have never seen it.. i've kinda heard that it's a good film.
i certainly like director nicolas roeg's film don't look now (1973).
roeg also directed this film, the man who fell to earth (1976).. so, i was just wondering if any of you have seen it, and what you thought of it.. er, try not to give spoilers, please ....
Yes. I went to see it at the cinema when it first came out because Bowie was in it.
As I recall it's from a story by Robert Heinlen - Stranger in a strange land.
What did I think of it?
I can't remember, it was so long ago.
I had the poster on my bedroom wall though.
They're very delusional.
Still no refining about the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them) and their protection of sexual predators!
the watchtower and awake have been listed as the most popular magazines.the figures are astonishing.
i am not sure whether it is based on reality or not.. source: https://tingtopten.com/2020/01/top-10-most-popular-magazines-in-the-world/.
i have seen the link on many social media networks.
I can't open the link at work. However, I'd ask, how reliable is the source?
Many sources make many claims.
Many are just based on limited or flawed data.
Anyway, what magazines? I haven't seen any.
yes, there’s a post on reddit.
it says that after a zoom meeting a request was made to baptized publishers to give $20 apiece to fix this elder’s car.. while this sounds highly irregular to me and not necessarily approved by the religion, i am not at all surprised at the nerve.
this, unfortunately, seems to be the direction that things are going there!
What's good for the goose.......IE. If the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), can ponce money off even poor people, then Jobots can follow their 'fine example(tm). The Holy Grift is on!
At the end of the day (or even at the beginning of it....even half way through), we are ultimately dealing with people.
People are a mistake.
...according to bro.

the Voyager School Assembly, Peterborough
Bloody hell. I went to that school as a teenager when it was called 'Walton Comprehensive'. I live within easy walking distance of the Voyager. (Bloody stupid name).
Weirdly enough, local Jobots were told to attend a CONvention in another town not their home city of Peterborough. We locals call it Bogboro' because it's a slum of 'diversity is a strength' ghettos.
A fake religion with fake doctrine. It's all empty and depressing.
hey guys!
i'm new on this site and am a non jw here married to a jw.
my husband's family are active members and they daily post articles on facebook from jw.org which i know is meant for me to see and read.
The Corporation(tm) will use any old thing they can to keep their enslaved feeling superior with fake 'accurate knowledge(tm)'.
It's so totally pathetic.
haven't been to a meeting in 13 years.
family that lives 1300 miles away doesn't know.
just visited them and here is what i observed.
ponty - Haven't been to a meeting in 13 years.
That's the best news I heard all day.
Because the Watchtower Corporation(tm) is a fake religion, their doctrines are empty and threatening.
hebrews 6:4-8. for it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the holy spirit, 5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of god and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the son of god to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.
7 for land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from god.
8 but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.. but then i read articles that say that you cannot lose your salvation and that this scripture isn't talking about that.. but then 2 timothy says.
spotykamy się, Lori
My name is Paul
Nazywam się Paweł.........just practicing. I used to be an Elder(tm) in a Polish congregation.
I'm still bonkers.
become imitators of me.—1 cor.
11:1.. when paul said this, did he ask us to imitate his preach activities?
it is not a new verse that starts anew, but a verse that ends the previous chapter, so what paul says to imitate is shown in the previous chapter.
pokey - I am asking the true meaning of Paul's words, not whether I am a witness or not.
If 500 theologians sat and discussed this, you'd get differing interpretations.
Far be it from me, a lowly non theologian to interpret these words. So, I won't.

I80 - What do you think?
If you had 500 theologians discussing this, lots of them would disagree on their interpretation.
This is why I find discussion of these things a bit pointless.
We all think differently. We may say, 'There's either something after death or there isn't.'
