  Horrific Violence in Today's Movies.

  i found an article today that discusses the new batman movie.

  growing up, i remember the batman and robin tv show from the 1960's, and i assumed that the dark knight movies would be along the same lines.

  boy, was i wrong!!!

  Thanks Watson.

  Just to be clear, I was referencing The Dark Knight, not The Dark Knight Rises. Dark knight Rises is pretty crazy. Still not bloody but non stop violence from beginning to end.

  i'm a big science nerd and i remember when we were going over the creator book, that the big bang doesn't necessarily prove there is no god.. i said this comment during book study and the conductor's jaw dropped.

  everyone was pretty uncomfortable and it didn't help that he ct me off as i was explaining the red shift and mom wasn't too happy about all that.

  i had to do a lot of bible research and write some nonsense about how the big bang was not reality or some sort...ugh.. .

  I used to run the stage at our hall. We had this uber elder and his hard on was for dress and grooming. One Tuesday day night my shoes had a couple scuffs on them. Mind you that at that time I fully fit into the orgs dress and grooming standard. Always nicely pressed suit, usually French cuffs with cuff links, metal collar stay inserts and shiny shoes. So after meeting he comes up and asks if I think it's an appropriate example to have on dirty unkept attire at meeting? I of course say no, not realizing he was talking about me. Immediatly after my response he says," make sure your shoes are in proper order before trying to set an example for the congregation" and walks off. Douche. A

  I'm sorry but the Dark Knight, the Batman movie from a few years ago that the OP was talking about, was an AWESOME movie. You really should watch it and form your own opinion. The way they carry out the violence isnt gorey. Kinda like how you said Transformers is. On top of that, the hero Batman, has a no guns no killing policy. That movie is so much more than the action that comprises parts of it. It delves into aspects of human nature, why we do what we do. Complications of right and wrong being viewed in absolutes, justice, honor, love, emotional damage, politics, making choices for the greater good, self sacrifice and of course some cool technology(if you're into that kinda stuff). Dark Knight is a well crafted movie that sets the standard for how a superhero movie can be done in a serious manner.

  i don't claim to understand anything about finance.

  but,i remember about three years ago , the congregation was asked to allow the society to hold onto the savings,cd,etc,until the congregation needed it.

  i forget the reasoning they gave on the matter,maybe the society would collect interests on it.

  I will happily provide my PayPal or bank account info to any and all that would like to place their surplus funds with me for safe keeping. This arrangement has the advantage of being FDIC insured and will NOT be used to further Watchtower interests.

  The Question you have been waiting for.....!

  somebody you think you know well enough to trust writes you a big check.. the check bounces.. they don't exactly apologize, but, give a plausible explanation.. they then write you another check on a different account.. since you believe them very trustworthy you accept it graciously.. .

  on the strength of their reputation and assurances you deposit the check in your own account.. from there you proceed to pay for various necessities, mortgage payment, insurance and childcare expenses.. the check bounces again!.

  your checks, consquently, also bounce!.

  Terry,

  You know the answer you will get on this forum.

  We have all stopped accepting checks from this source. We attempt damage control to our reputation and credibility as much as possible.

  The Pharisaical Laws of JW's

  by Emery in

  i remember hearing from a former elder of a situation he found himself in while conducting the old weekly bible study.

  that morning only one male was present during the morning study, however that brother forgot his tie.

  under instruction from the slave, any brother not properly dressed for a meeting is not to have any congregation priviledges (hold mics, talk, attendent, magazines, reading).

  I can confirm the suit rule but it's flexible. We had a visiting speaker from the country and he wore slacks and a sports coat with no issue. But the entire body ragged him for weeks. Behind his back of couse.

  My list of pharisical rules includes. It not limited to:

  No beards

  No oral sex

  Turning in time

  Dating rules (chaperon, public displays of affection etc)

  Acceptable reasons to separate from marriage mate
