  Did anyone find the movie The Grey slightly offensive?

  its portrayal of grey wolves was horribly inaccurate.

  it will probably lead to an even more negative attitude toward wolves, which puts them in more danger.

  i believe i read that the creators bought dead wolves while producing the movie.. its main characters' philosophizing was pretentious, cliched, and insulting to my intelligence.

  I agree with Quentin. Just all-around BAD.

  Lol@ keyser and nomad soul!

  LouBelle: Well perhaps I'm over-reacting a bit, then.

  "Woa woa woa.... Seriously????? Neison over ford???? Are you people daft??????

  Compare Han Solo to qui gon jin.

  Case closed. Ford by a landslide."

  My thoughts exactly. Always loved Han Solo. Far superior.

  One JW I know thinks it's made for mexicans. Apparently ALL women in Mexico scrub the floor, so that's supposed to be an accurate portrayol, and Mexican guys are (or think they're) buff but are being tough to be loving and appreciative for their wives' duties through this vid.

  Doesn't make sense, does it? It's such an unrealisticly optimistic look at this horrible vid.

  If you were raised in a home with a JW parent and a non-JW parent: a few questions

  by Lady Lee in

  if you were raised in a home with a jw parent and a non-jw parent: a few questions.. i am going to be addressing the international cultic studies association (icsa) in july at the conference in montreal.

  my focus is on 3 groups.

  the third group consists of people people who grew up in homes where one parent was a jw and the other wasn't.

  1. Was your non-JW parent ever a JW?
  2. Who was responsible for your religious upbringing? The JW or the non-JW?
  3. Did they argue about it?
  4. Were you forced to go?
  5. Did the non-JW parent have any real say in how the family celebrated holidays?
  6. Over all what impact did this split household have on your childhood and even later in life?
  7. What would you want therapists to know about your situation?
  8. Any other thoughts?

  1)

  No.

  2)

  JW

  3)

  JW parent got upset about non-JW's uninterest.

  4)

  A couple times as a child I didn't want to but was guilted into it.

  5)

  Sort of. But the non-JW parent didn't are either way, so it didn't matter.

  6)

  I worry about their arguing and other problems. Many are caused by the Non-JW parent and are not religion-related, but some by the JW parent are frequently tinged with vague references to dying in armageddon. That worried and terified me as a child, and the repeated warnings that the non-JW would eventually hate us, oppose us, try to hurt us scared me and still makes it hard to not be scared of others and to trust them.

  7) I wasn't given much choice but to "love" Jehovah and mistrust all non-JW relatives. It made life scary, lonely, and awkward. All caring and love was conditional, all of life's pleasures were temporary (and therefore hard to enjoy) because of Armegeddon coming so very soon.

  8) It still makes me sad.

  @Ann and zid: I agree that the fantasy sequences were also VERY Armegeddon-esque. *shudder*

  As a small child, I, like Caleb, did not have friends. Nice worldly kids who played with bad toys were bad, and even nice JW kids couldn't be fully trusted. My best friends were my stuffed animals.

  That's why his teddy "dies". The only freind he is allowed to have will be taken from him, destroyed if he is not obedient. Classic fear tactic.

  Over-reaction?
