RABBIT-PROOF FENCE - Go & see it!!
by singsongboi in
1. jw
2. friends
the 'rabbit proof fence' is an australian movie that tells the story of some aboriginal children who escape from a camp established by evil white australians with the mentality of the biblical joshua.. it's just been released in the us.. if you want to understand australia and australians you should see this movie.

it tells a story that should deeply shame all modern australians, but sadly, many, maybe a majority, are not ashamed!!!!.

it was made by phillip noyce, who has also directed good movies like, patriot games, the bone collector, clear & present danger, the saint.. noyce & his male partner live in a funky old house at palm beach nsw, and their home & lifestyle was recently featured on national tv in an australian show called "burke's backyard.. hope this link to a site for the film works..... .

a life worth living is a life with meaning.

as former or inactive jws most of us struggle with this at various points in our lives.

this is especially true if we become "non-theists".

years ago, i had a pet-hate bible story, and it was this one story that actually started me on the path to freedom from the borg-org.. it was the story of lot when he was living in sodom and the 2 angels visited (dressed like men of course).

and the crowd of sodomites were yelling "send out the visitors so we can bonk them senseless".

remember?.

The Man With the Big Nose

no offense intended for the anointed ones on this board, but ive always compared such professed ones to martin jensen, who professed nothing for himself except that he wasnt good for much.. this iowa corn farmer became a jw in the 40s, was promptly divorced by his wife, and moved to the southern tip of texas, the end of the world.

by default he became the presiding overseer of the english unit, although he never gave a public talk.

there were many unsuccessful attempts over the years to replace him with a more suitable shepherd.
