just thought i'd start a thread about lucas revisiting star wars films and making new edits - for better or for worse.. first off, let me say that george lucas has a tremendous imagination and star wars (1977), also known as episode 4: a new hope, and the empire strikes back (1980) - episode 5 in the franchise - are two of my favourite films.
.
as progress has been made in special effects, including the development of cgi, it makes sense for lucas to go back and retouch the spaceships, laser blasts and light sabres, improving what was 70s and 80s effects.. but i feel that lucas' tinkering has been a mixed bag - some have been bad choices, some unnecessary and others have been good.. what do you think ... .
What he did with the original 3 was MOSTLY BAD!!!!
Interior of Cloud City was good, and the Falcon coming out of Mos Eilsley. The rest horrible. The Jabba and Han scene was silly. Dont get me on the Greedo shot first.
By the way - if you were going to tinker, why not improve the Atari Like computers screens on the X-Wings and in the Falcons Gun Turrets!!!!!
maybe some of you remember me, maybe not.
for general information i am now 19 years old, and living by myself.
for the past 1 year (more like 1.5 years) i have been quietly fading out of the hypocrisy of this organization, but since i still live in the town i grew up in it has been hard, and filled with different challenges.
rawe - Right On!
Cults do this.
Religion is evil. It is ALWAYS about control.
lt appears this topic has not been debated.energy has to come from something it doesn't come from nothing..
TROLL!
i'm so upset and angry at the same time.
i move in less than 2 weeks and was supposed to be getting help off "brothers" to move and one of them was driving the van and now the elders have had a meeting and told the brothers they can't help coz i'm separated from my (abusive) jw husband and with moving it puts the chances of reconciliation (of which there was zero chance) even further away.
where are these stupid rules that they come up with.
They are not rules anywhere. JW are happy to find ANY excuse to not show love.
It's there most prominent mark.

Again as a former Elder - I agree with Earnest - they don't have anything on you unless you offer up more information.
To do anything they need Two witnesses, that can corroborate that you are often with the DFed person.
Being seen once with someone DFed is not enough to have a Judicial Case.
I would not engage with them, but if they contact you just be respectful and say you are appreciative of their concern for you, that you are ok, thank them, and exit.
yesterday i went to a shopping center.
i saw a dub who was once a very friendly person.
he was about 10 metres from me when i noticed him.
One other bad one for me (long list), was that I was doing work from a long time family friend who is a JW.
Well when the rumors (fueled by elders) started flying (again I had done nothing but not go to meetings), he made it impossible for me to keep working for him.
It was a major chunk of my income.
Still, have not recovered from that.
i thought of successfully fading out, but suffered a miscarriage last week.
i gradually decreased the number of meetings i attended.
in the latter half of the year it became once a month, then once in two months, once in three months ….. last week, two elders who visited me, after their bla..bla..asked: “where will you go leaving the motherly organization—the only truth now available on earth?”.
Welcome Ireneus.
I guess you just had enough? It would have been easy enough to brush them off if you wanted to.
Do you have family or close friends you may lose?
I hope not.

Speaking as a former elder, I don't think anything they could actually DF you for.
So don't go. Even if they did I wouldnt go.
"my husbands religious beliefs are ruining our family" is the topic.
i"m not home when it airs on cbs in the afternoon so i watch a rerun on ch 55 here in nyc at 8pm.
i have my cable box all set to switch over at the appropriate time..
Londo222 - FOR SURE!
He is bringing Reproach on Jehobers name buy telling people what it's like being a JW.
I guess its the type of "Advertise Advertise Advertise" message the WT was hoping for?
despite decades of the feminist movement, watchtower's attitude of woman being inferior has changed little, with pauline sexism justified as inspired, on the basis that women are lesser emotionally, intellectually and physically.
jehovah's witnesses seem to accept this with little resistance.
is there anything about the #metoo movement that may wake followers up?
The bible is largely a document created to suppress women and sexuality.
