The Shape of Water. It was just so different. None of the normal action or heroics and yet very ordinary people doing brave things. Only if you like sci fi of course but not your standard runnin', jumpin' and shootin'. I enjoyed it, didn't get bored.

Have you ever considered how bizarre the idea of "War in Heaven" really is?
by TerryWalstrom inwhen you grow up and look back on childhood belief you have to laugh at how.
easter bunnies and santa were all too plausible for children because trusted adults who were otherwise unimpeachable sources of truth and reality assured and reassured kids.
why wouldn't they accept it?jehovah's witness kids didn't have santa, we had armageddon.only this morning i suddenly asked myself why i ever accepted the idea of a war in heaven as even remotely sane.

What a terrible thing to send the Devil and his demons here anyway, of all the planets to send him to! Typical of ancient beliefs that he's described as being thrown down to earth from heaven. In ancient times heaven was above the earth.
Why send them here? Surely humans were having enough trouble trying to survive and develop civilisation without evil angels being dropped on us. Then a war is needed to rid the earth of them later after they've caused havoc here. Weird story!

Well said akid48. The whole point of getting kids to talk about it at school and adults to talk about it at work is to get them alienated from other people as soon as possible. It's a cult ploy so that you have to find a support group within the cult and you can never leave because you've frightened all your friends away. Good thread.

Malaria and Dengue fever devastate families in developing countries. But anyway, thanks God for all the pretty flowers and kitty cats, you must really love us.

You dare to talk about peer-reviewed science and then say this important subject hinges on the experiments of a magician!

I enjoyed the first series because it was quite faithfull to the book. It ended as she escapes, also faithfull to the book. I assumed the second series would be about what happened next but it's just more of the same. I don't want to watch it.

My research has convinced me there is. If you start demanding proof I quote Cofty when he talks about evolution and says stop being lazy, read some books.

Governing Body trying to control marital relationships
by Whynot in4 years ago during the circuit overseers visit he asked a rather innapropriate question from the platform.
i say it's innapropriate because i think it's wrong to tell happy married couples how to love each other and much more wrong it is to tell them they should love their children less.. he said: "mothers, who should you love more your children or your husband?
" i think most mothers will quickly say you should love your children more.

To the JWs children are pioneer and bethel fodder and if they decide to leave becasue they don't believe it parents have to act as if they died. Happiest families in the world, not!
