  Bro. Geoff in September 2018 Broadcast vs Serena Williams

  the september broadcast opens up with a story of 80 yr old brother geoff who gave up been in a band all them years ago.

  fast forward to 2018 and we have a world renown tennis player and jw as far as we’re told.. so where some are encouraged to leave the world and it’s futile pursuits of fame and fortune, others are not.

  or even punished for their behaviour on court or for been photographed with their country’s flag where others have been executed for refusing to salute flags.

  Generally speaking, I agree with Morph's comment. But the exception that proves the rule is Oakland Raiders, Steve Sweeney. He was a phenom in college and hit the big money when he was drafted to the championship team. But had the misfortune to study with JW's his first year as pro. They convinced him to get on the Theresa Graves bandwagon and quit. He "took the council" and was in my in-laws' congregation. Guess what year? Wait for it...1974.

  Wonder how he feels now about his life course. Prince, Larry, George et all? Hope he saved for retirement. LOL

  This asshole better not cross MY path.

  My 21 yo son was in a motocross race where he attempted to pass the leader. The more experienced leader forced my son into a tree where he crashed and died. For his family's sake, I am glad this rider was not injured or worse!

  Unsung Movie Villains

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  we all know the big movie villains get a lot of credit and appear in multiple movies - the shark in jaws, darth vader, and before them dracula, wolfman, frankenstein's monster, etc.. but there must be plenty of villains that get forgotten.. i thought clarence boddicker (played by kurtwood smith) was fantastic in robocop (1987) - a real psychopath.. another character who springs to mind is vilos cohaagen (ronny cox) in total recall (1990), i thought he was very good too.. obviously these and other movie villains do get some critical acclaim but they don't get their own franchise and they rarely get universal praise.. maybe 'unsung movie villains' is the wrong phrase but hopefully you get what i'm trying to say!

  Ok, I'm dating myself but.... Jessica Walter in 1971 " Play Misty for Me" It Was obviously an inspiration for the character Glen Close played in the 1987 "Fatal Attraction".

  Both women played their parts to perfection!

  Why not extend your child's life and take the consequences?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  jehovah's witnesses & blood transfusions.

  if your son or daughter were badly burned, he or she would require regular whole blood transfusions.

  as a good jehovah's witness, it is your duty to refuse this procedure and watch your child die instead.

  This doctrine of Watchtower that I described above is why JW parents can't give in to their natural love for their children. DFing Isn't the point. The point is that accepting blood condemns your child to destruction even if blood "temporarily" saves his life. What the hell???

  I can't make this sh!t up. Another way Watchtower emotionally destroys its true believers.

  Yes, Cofty, but to me, the important point is that the child is destroyed too. JW doctrine is that if Armageddon comes before a child is baptized he is under the merit of his believing parent. If the parent breaks "God's law on blood" They BOTH die according to Watchtower!

  A LOOSE LOOSE situation

  In JW land young children of JW's are saved from Harm u Geddon by the FAITHFUL acts of one or both of their parents.

  I was taught that to allow a child to have a blood transfusion would PREVENT both the parent/s AND the child to survive "The Great Day of God the Almighty". IOW, Letting them live for a few months or years would cost them their "Everlasting Life"

  Jws have been indoctrinated to believe that Armageddon is coming "any minute" for over 120 years. What faithful JW wants their child to miss out on living forever. This is the miserable choice that the Rank and file are given.

  Unbaptized children are only saved from destruction by at least one faithful parent. If the parent/s allow a BT the kid is bird food. I know because I and another relative went through this horrible no-win situation.

  Hubby and I watched it on Amazon. JWs were so accurately portrayed that it was a little disturbing. We felt the pain and anguish the characters were experiencing because we are being shunned by our families as well.

  I doubt it would have much effect on true believers (even if you could somehow get them to watch). Those with doubts or are having interpersonal problems might be the best audience for this movie.

  I remember being a little kid in the early 1960's and hearing my own father give the announcement, "XYZ has been disfellowshipped due to adultery, or apostasy" etc. No room for guesswork.

  I can't remember exactly when the obvious lawsuit/s transpired which led to the generic announcements which were: "XYZ has been disfellowshipped due to "conduct unbecoming a Christian." I'm guessing it was late 1960's or a little before.
