hello my fellow jwners.
i have been going the local unitarian church off and on for a few years.
my kids and i go regularly now and love it.
I like that the UU church teaches and practices tolerance.
However I still feel that the Bible is God's word and it has rules and tenets that are still valid today. This alone basically rules out the UUs as you can teach/believe/practice nearly anything and be accepted. This is liberalism and tolerance theology taken to the Nth degree.
If I am wrong let me now, as I am willing to listen and accept advice.
what is done with the bread and the wine after the conclusion of the memorial?.
is it normally tossed in the trash and poured down the drain?.
if so, wouldn't that be simbolic of throwing jesus' body in the trash and pouring his blood into the sewer?.
@AnneofMaly - " The wine, however, NEVER goes to waste!"
This is definitely true lol. After the event someone would always take the wine home...and drink it.
just re-watched it again recently...wow what a powerful film and really shows up totalitarianism, mind control, etc.
of course the great wachowski's (of matrix fame) made it, so what do you expect?.

I LOVE SEATTLE and have been there a couple times. Gorgeous place. Maybe that will work!

It would be awesome to have an apostate film festival, all meet and watch this and the other great ones! When???? Where???
i'm new to this board and looking to see what it's all about.
i'm currently an unbaptized publisher and third-generation jw, so for obvious reasons i can't give my real name due to personal concerns.
so from now on people can refer to me as "jimmy".
Welcome Jimmy! Have you read Crisis of Conscience yet? Contrary to what Witnesses may have told you, it is not an apostate book, but very reasonable and humbly written. That's a first read IMO bro.
BTW there are many on here that are still baptized Witnesses- not DFed but some active, some fading, and many "WT dissidents" you might say.
last year this was brought up and it was a great idea but maybe a bit too late.
do you remember the "secret signal" that was going to be used?
it should not be mentioned in the main thread, only through email and pms.
@LG with a simple bookcover it could be anything on the inside lol!

@AnnoMaly - Me oh my miss O'Maly you are funnee
@Yanbibian - good point. I think that article had something in there about asking someone, "What happened in Ray's book regarding ____?" And then the only way they would know the answer was if they had actually read the book- something a faithful Dubb infiltrator couldn't do.
@SIAM - Yep. The execution didn't work last year cuz it was too last minute, but the method is simple and workable. We need Theocratic SPY SCHOOL, lol. The TSS, yeah that's it!

@Garyneal - You have a PM.
This article is an interesting one about this idea:

Let's use that signal again and meet up. At Long Beach or wherever, let's find each other and talk. When we see the sign, we will talk about the weather to start...
wasn't there a quote in one of ray's books where a gb member said something to that effect?
they were going to change a policy ("new light" lol) and i think it was grant suiter who said, "if we lose a few hundred oh well we'll gain lots more from this!".
i have both books (hardcopy and pdf) and tried to find it but couldn't.
Only the body is important. Only the GROUP is relevant. Sounds like 1984 all over again. Only numeric superiority means anything. I can't wait to see how many attend the memorial on April 5th!!!!!
(Same talk, different date)
