  Anything with heaps of violence.
  Scorsesi/ DeNiro pica are good, Like Raging Bull, Goodfellas and Casino.
  Taxi Driver.
  Im also parial to John Ford/ John Wayne collaborations, Like The Searchers, and The Quiet Man.
  Lawrence of Arabia is unquestionably the greatest film ever made.
  Fave chick flick: The French Leiutenants Woman.
  Like films based on plays also, like Cat on a hot tin roof, and Equus, a film any ex cult member must see. You will dig it.

  Tough Question for ExElders...

  by Xena in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with a friend suddenly confronted with the prospect of being disfellowshiped recently it got me wondering about how an elder feels the first time he disfellowships someone.. the first time you disfellowshiped someone was there regret?

  sadness?

  or a sense of justice?.

  I would imagine there is a degree of personal guilt, regret, as any decent person would have.
  But I am certain that the Elders feeling righteously justified overrode any personal foibles.
  Then again, I was never an elder.

  Theres a guy I know. We were in the dubs together ever since I was 10.
  Hes 5 years younger. So,Ive known him more than 30 years.
  Anyway. Hes inactive.Has been a LONG time.
  He always stays in touch. He makes the contact.
  So about 3 months ago the guy calls me and invites me to lunch.
  Hes rich, he paid.
  We had lunch, wine, sat there smoking cigars.

  Afterwards he takes me into the Casino next door.
  Its obvious hes a well known regular.
  He sits at a slot machine and Im sat on the next seat watching him pump 50 dollar bills into the slot.
  Big spender.
  We are sat there about 5 minutes and this blonde BABE walks up to him.
  She says, "like to play do you"?
  He says, "yep".
  She says, "like to play with girls"?
  He says "What do you mean"?
  She says "How about coming to my place and fucking me".
  Im there like....WHAAA!?
  Mouth hanging open.
  He looks at his watch and says, "Nah, Im too busy today".
  The girl walks off.

  Cut to Friday, 2 days ago.
  Im working for the guy by this time and after work we are sat in the office drinking and hes had a few.Hes pretty loose.
  He recites a story to me.
  Its about how he likes to play games with new business clients he wants to impress.He says he sets it up beforehand with some chick he knows and, while theyre in the middle of the business dinner the chick (by prearrangement) walks up and begs him to fuck her.
  He reckons he does it just to see the "reactions" from the business client.
  Obviously he forgot about when he took me out to lunch.

  What do you reckon about that one??

  LOGICAL - Why are you always so sad, fed up &

  lonely?

  ever since i've come to this board, you take every opportunity possible to imform everyone else how sad you are, do you ever give encouragement back to others, or have you always been like this, doing your best to stay as miserable as can be?.

  you know theres lots of people here who would like to help you, given the chance, in fact i can't even be bothered to give you any encouragement this time, cos all you do every time you see someone in chat is tell them how lonely and sad you are.

  Larc.
  My understanding is that Logical is a female trapped in a male body.
  I suppose only the girl herself can clear up the matter if I am in error.

  The Watchtower's Bible Scholars?

  by stevieb1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses are often told that is is not necessary to look to outside sources such as bible encyclopedias and commentaries because the society's writing department already has these and presents us with the best comments from them for us anyway.

  what i have noticed though, is that there are many comments from 19th century commentators and not much in the way of quotes from modern-day bible scholars and their works.. i understand that at the recent kingdom ministry school it was said that the society has the best bible scholars available for our instuction.

  if that was said (can anyone confirm?

  Here is Watchtower scholarship.

  Scan a 6 page scientific article.
  Find 2 lines that do not TOTALLY
  disagree with your preestablished position.
  Present the 2 lines in quotation, along with some carefully chosen words of your own.
  The miracle occurs, the quote appears to support your preestablished position.

  Hehe.
  Flower, youre on the threshold of a major thread war.
  How you enjoyin it??

  Other than that. I reckon Logis a great poster. Love that sad blue face. Sometimes you can lure a comment or two out of her, if you work hard.
  Let her do her own thing. Imagine the board without Logi. One of the most unique and consistent web personas of all time.

  They Just Never Get Anything Right!

  by Englishman in

  why has the wtbts downgraded us inhabitants of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland to living simply in britain?

  apart from being geographically incorrect, its also quite insulting too.

  take a look at nicolaous post on the our kingdom ministry thread.

  Only one there is who shall be called "great".
  Jehovah of Armies who saves.

  Perhaps the GB recieved a consensus enlightenment that by using the term "great" in reference to Britain, they were rendering "undue prominence" to men.
  Truly, Jehovah feeds his children meat in due season.

  Those words remind me of how impoverished (spiritually impoverished)
  I was as a young Jay Dub.
  Sometimes people would say that the measure of your spirituality
  was indicated by how many scriptures you could recall from memory and what chapter and verse they were in.
  The only scripture I could ever consistently recall was good old Matthew 24 v 14.
  
  Sort of makes you wonder how I ever managed to bet baptized (not once, but twice) dont it?

  Still, I was a good dub remembering that one scripture. It was the only Bible quote that really mattered to them anyway.

  with all the nice guy/bad boy and do looks matter posts doing so well i thought it might be fun to do a worst date ever post.. so here goes mine: about 3 years ago my married friend had a neighbor she was good friends with he was a young widower with 2 kids and she thought we might like to get to know each other.

  so we agreed to meet for dinner at his apt (he lived 2 apts down from my friend so it did not seem awkward or unsafe).

  he cooked spaghetti and afterwards pulled out the old photo albums.

  Before she went to sleep she pulled her false teeth out too!

  A lot of Aussies have bad teeth.
  There is something in the facial structure of a lot of Australian women that makes their chin disappear as they get older. They get these hook noses with an undersized chin. When the woman has false teeth and pulls them out the effect is doubled.
  Shocking!

  My blood runneth cold at the memory.
