  Mel Gibson's Passion

  by Oroborus21 in

  2. friends

  not sure if this has been discussed already since i haven't been frequenting the board much.

  but has anyone here seen an advance screening of mel gibson's (he is the producer not acting in it i believe) "passion" or has heard much about it.

  it is a scripture-faithful telling of the gospel account of jesus' death.. i read an article a while back in the new yorker and caught snippets here and there.

  I read a newpaper article that stated the release date of "The Passion" will be Feb 25, 2004. I can't wait to see the movie!

  I hope I won't be called ignorant for asking this question, but, can someone please explain to me who is in the "faithful and discreet slave" class? I never fully understood this even when I was a JW.

  Is it the Governing Body, or the writers, or the entire "remnant class" or what??

  it's 2 am, and my whole country is asleep and i badly need to talk, and someone to hold me.

  i have been out of this fucking cult for nearly two years, and i have not been bothered by demonz since then ... until now.

  right.. i woke up, not able to breathe and see a thing, and i grabbed the phone to call my boyfriend, but i must have misdialed ( thank god, cuz he'd think i was nuts otherwise) and then i tried to scream, but i couldn't.

  (((Viv)))
  Sleep paralysis sounds like a good explanation and I hope you never have another episode like that again.

  You are not dead to God, by the way, and please don't let the JWs convince you of that. I also felt that way when I was first DF'd.

  Sacrifices - choices

  a couple of questions: .

  if you could travel back in time and ended up in germany where hitler was a 5 year old child and you had the opportunity to strangle him to death with your bare hands....would you do it?

  if an animal species could be saved from extinction by killing one human - would you do it?

  That's what it sounds like, Tink. The posters in England probably wouldn't know what "Performing As" is.

  Sens,

  I haven't started taking bee pollen but I want to. Bee pollen is a nutritional powerhouse. It has B vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, protein, and other things I can't remember.

  Bee pollen is also an anti-oxidant, anti-viral (good for flu season) and strengthens the immune system.

  Sandy,

  I am no vitamin expert, but I take a few natural supplements and receive brochures about them. According to articles that I have read, most people can safely take 1500 to 2000 mg. of bee pollen daily.

  What resurrects, the person or a perfect copy?

  by JH in

  i remember my boss asking me once this question, since he knew i was a witness.

  he asked, "what resurrects, the body, the soul, what?.

  he knew that witnesses believe in the resurrection of the dead on earth, in a different physical body during the millennium.. i told him that it won't be the same physical body, and maybe won't be identical, but it's the same person.

  I would add: ONLY according to JW beliefs.
