Remember A.I. ?

by Introspection in

i know we talked about it when it was playing in the theaters, but i'm too lazy to look up that thread and i think it was in the main forum anyway.

i just got the dvd and watched half of it.

if you haven't seen it it's definitely worth renting.

What about the movie D.a.r.r.y.l? I haven't seen AI but it sounds like it would be kind of like that movie.

Has anyone seen D.a.r.r.y.l?

Bryant Memorial Service Report

by seven006 in

it is hard for me to transcibe certain feelings into written words especially since i'm not what you would consider to be a real emotional person.

i have also mastered the art of rarely showing any outward emotional expression.

i will try and do my best to give you some of the feelings i experienced today through my eyes, so please bare with me.. i drove the hour to mcminnville which is a small town about forty miles south of portland.

I have a lump in my throat.

Dave, thank you for letting us be a part of this by your going and sharing the details.

It is truely a shame that this happened, but the worst part is that it never had to happen , had shunning not been a practice of the JW religion, I am sure things would have turned out differently.

Thanks again Dave

i really hate funerals and memorials and avoid them as much as i can.

looking back on the few i have attended over the past ten years i guess i only go to them because of the people who are left behind.

since i didn't know the bryant's or any of their family members i find the draw that i have to this service even more confusing.

SW, Girl, I am sitting here in tears right now. After all these years knowing you, I still feel the pain you have inside.

I truely wish I were right there beside you to give you the biggest hug you ever had. I know you need one from someone who loves you for the person you are, and I do, I really do.

Larc, I was almost electrocuted to death once also. I was around 7 or 8 when it happened.

Do you remember those old are pumps? The ones that looked like plimps on wheels? My grandfather was using it for something one day and I was out wacthing him as I always did. Well it was early in the am and there was still dew on the ground. I was barefoot and I grabbed hold of the handle. Had my grndfather not pulled me off of it, I would have died. I remember it as if it were yesterday. It didn't hurt at all. I just felt numb.

is there any particular speakers that you remember as being outstanding?

I can't remember his name but there was one good one. We all called him the candy man, because he always had candy for the children. I liked him because he always added humor to his talks.

Shunning is the big story

by joelbear in

jw
friends

i just read the story about the family in oregon, gone forever, because of the pressure of shunning.. in my opinion, shunning is the big story about jehovah's witnesses.

shunning and the fear of shunning is what enables the control of victims of child abuse.

shunning is what destroys families.

Mav, hun, had they been your true friends, they would not be shunning you.

"What I have come up with is I am going for the only ones that I do know who the Bryant's left behind, that is all of you guys as well as myself. I fell that the people on this board need to be represented at this service."

That is a very kind thing to do. Please send my love along with you.
