  Anyone who's seen 'Man of Steel', can we talk about SPOILER-related stuff?

  if the title of the thread wasn't enough, spoiler alert.. spoiler alert.. .

  okay...so...that said, i haven't seen the movie, which would be a paradox except that i read the novelization.

  so...how'd you feel about the way it ended?

  OK...

  SPOILER ALERT!

  ...he's from Krypton ( the planet not the inert gas)

  and

  ... he's Super.

  But seriously... I enjoy any retelling of the Ubermensch tale, but others I saw the film with felt id didn't do much in terms of character development, and it took itself a >bit< too seriously. Compare it to Chris Reeve's first movie, which had a good sense of humor. I already knew the story of Jesus Superman, so I didn't miss a complete re-tellin of the tale. I consider it a fair addition to the modern legends.

  I DID feel the abundant religious references a bit too much, but easy enough to disregard.

  i think it is comming in the future.

  the evidence is piling up on the internet, assembly talks, letters to body of elders, and an increasing number of those being harmed by the cruel treatment and lies of the watchtower corporation that are clearly a form of malice.. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/malice.

  1. a desire to harm others or to see others suffer; extreme ill will or spite.2.

  Q.: Are We Approaching A Class Action Suit For Damages By Those Who Have Left The Watchtower Corporation Over Hate Speach, Enforced Disfellowshipping And Defamation Of Character ?

  A.: Sure, sure we are. [Patronizing pat on the head.] It's as close as the inside of your eyelid! Even as we speak, a consortium of dozens of XJW millionaires and billionaires are meeting in Manhattan Beach CA, to work out the details. When this thing breaks - probably around October of this year, everyone - EVERYONE, even the Pope - will be stunned into temporary unconsciousness and "lose" 13 minutes from that day. Yes, this is THAT BIG.

  Mark your calendars; it is a matter of only weeks and months, not years.

  Hiya, CEDARS! There was considerable discussion of this on one of Rick Fearon's SIX SCREENS OF THE WATCHTOWER conference calls a few years ago. Answered almost ever question I could think of. It was great! Too bad you weren't there.

  i confronted my hubby about his lying to my facebook friends.

  as i figured he denied they were lies.

  i asked him that if he could explain how i cut off communication with my sister since it was her who got the restraining order/no contact order and not me.

  Arbols, just as there is no god, there is no evil. There is only what happens. We make judgements about what happens and the Universe become divided into Yin/Yang, Good/Evil, AhuraMazda/Ahriman.

  Just as WE imagine god in our mind, WE assign values to events in the stream of time. Generally, good things are those events that please us or our tribe and evil things are those events that hurt us. We project these value judgements "out there" to rationalize them.

  The universe doesn't care.

  Flood insurance and cover for overland flooding

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the huge floods in alberta the news now is starting to cover the issue of property damange and insurance.. we've never really thought a lot about insurance cover for flooding because it became a big issue in the uk about 5-10 years ago with limited land availability leading to building on flood plains and the eventual inevitable consequences and so when we bought over here we didn't buy anywhere that was a possible flood risk.

  our choice seems to have worked out as we've been completely untouched by the recent issues but tragically, others have been less fortunate and apparently few people are covered for 'overland flooding' which is where water enters your house through doors and windows.. it's hard to really know what is fair.

  i understand the reason why insurers don't cover it and the arguments on both sides.. one one hand, we included the flood risk when puchasing a home.

  " but now NN says..."

  I could be lying. After all, there is absolutely no way that anyone could check to see if insurance was available for specific threats. AND I make money every time I mislead the unsuspecting. I use that money to pay for the earthquake insurance that it is impossible for me to have.

  It's all very diabolical.

  The CO and his wife have no home

  i know some have a flat or apartment that they can go to on the odd week off but i believe that the majority have no base to call home.. my parents have the co and wife stayng this week again and i asked my mum about it.

  she says that if they do get the any time off they go to her mothers to stay but thats only every few months.

  i just can't imagine having to live out of a suitcase in someone elses home constantly.. how to they not crack up.

  I agree with hamsterbait 152%!

  Those guys and their wives are living the life THEY SELECTED.

  If it doesn't work out quite as they planned, TFB.

  I have as much compassion for them as they have for the always-in-the-future victims of their imaginary Armageddon.
