Really good movie.
Honestly, if you sat a JW down and made them watch it, they really couldn't have a legitimate problem with it. Portrays witness life accurately down to the smallest details.
my dvd arrived from amazon today.
will be having pizza corona and a movie night tonight.

after a bit of a kerfuffle over a procedural matter, my university has awarded me a degree.
(the procedural problem was caused by my independent selection of what i wanted to study).
award : bachelor of arts.
Awesome! Congrats!!
the star has a previous first-look production deal with the network to produce unscripted series following the success of her emmy-winning show “leah remini: scientology and the aftermath.” according to the hollywood reporter, remini will produce a special for the network during the break following season 3 of the acclaimed docuseries.. it notes that jehovah’s witnesses, while based on biblical teachings, have come under fire over the years for similar practices to the church remini left years ago.
for example, practices of ousting or shunning members who have dissenting views, a blanket refusal to participate in politics and government as well as not celebrating christmas or birthdays are all things that the special will reportedly cover.
additionally, the religion has predicted the literal end of the world several times, obviously to no avail.. .

it’s quite affirming to see the horrific material that they’re serving up at the convention this year.
aside from blatant homophobia, the scenes at the end of the convention that are discussed on another thread stoop to new levels of fear mongering.
it seems to occur to nobody inside the organisation that this kind of material could trigger fear, deprsssion, anxiety, stress.
Wow. . . I'm so sorry I watched that. . .
Surprised it didn't say "A Leni Reifenstahl Production" at the end.
roll call for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.
in one sentence tell why you left the org.
not 2 sentences.
It ain't true!
Just got my softcover copy today!
i'm new to this site.
i've been out for 27 years and was trying to figure out how to get in touch with others that may also be on here from my old congregation.
it was warrensburg , ny....
Was not ever in that congregation, but recognize the name and am familiar with the Nicholson pedophilia scandal/crimes via my wife and her family.
Last I heard, Nicholson was DFd for boinking some pioneer sister but has been attending meetings faithfully like a good JW.
I agree with SCRATCHME. . . FB might be a better starting point.
it's a fear-based religion, at its core.
jws fear many things, but what or who do they fear the most?
let's find out.... 5) satan.
Interesting list, FRED. . .
Never thought about it this way before seeing your list, but it is really fascinating how "apostates" are ranked higher than Satan/demons especially since Satan/demons are the original and most powerful apostates ever (according do JWs).
Following from this, it's funny how JWs are told not even to look at/read/listen to apostate words; yet apostate words spoken by Satan himself are sprinkled throughout the bible. . . . .

Ah @darkspilver, got it.
I thought that was too realistic to be true!

I'm most shocked that:
1) they now report % increase/decrease (they used to report simply "% increase" with a "-" sign to indicate decrease
2) No more 0s or _s but reporting to tenths of a percent e.g., -0.3 percent decrease rather than a _
Why bother?
