in the movie "roma," a man is shown making some martial type moves with a sword totally naked.
and the scene is not so brief, giving a clear glimpse of his private parts.
it is a very graphic scene.
Well you see, this scene represents the fact that we as a society are doomed to repeat the mistakes of our forefathers, endlessly toiling our lives away until we inevitably fall victim to the human condition. Of course this scene was necessary. When you really stop and think about it, aren't we all just naked men waving a sword around?
Nah I'm just playing. I have no idea what you're talking about. lol
does anyone know if the new elders' manual addresses attempted suicide?
in the previous manual, it was seen as a potential judicial matter, which is absolutely ridiculous.
have they changed it?
@Drearyweather, thanks for the insight.

Thanks. I didn't want to take a chance with downloading any files to my computer. When I looked at the old manual and saw that they put attempted suicide right in between manslaughter and porneia, it really turned my stomach. Even if they say that in most cases a judicial hearing is not required, why even put it in that category? It should've been in a completely different chapter. Things like that show us just how clueless those idiots are.

Nothing that Watchtower does surprises me anymore. It just blows my mind that people are not able to see through this garbage. To cease with the reporting of time is the perfect way to get the sheeple thinking that the great tribulation has started. It might be a part of that whole, "Do what we say even if it doesn't make sense strategically..." nonsense. Next thing you know they'll be stopping the memorial.

Well if that ever does happen, we all know what people are going to say. "This just shows how close we are to Armageddon."

a while ago the user vinman started a forum thread called: "ray franz was an idiot".
the reaction to it was quite negative but i have to admit that the title of that thread was intriguing to me.
by nature i am an iconoclast.
@Thomas Thomas, when you really think about it, how many people actually take it seriously when someone says they're anointed? In my hall, everybody always calls those people crazy. "Oh there's no way brother or sister so-and-so are anointed! They'll barely make it into paradise!" I'm sure you've heard similar things. So if that's the general attitude, it doesn't reflect well on people who claim to have faith in "Jehovah's organization".
i used a public washroom in a grocery store.
in the stall, someone left a tract on the baby changer.
my first thought was to trash it, instead i wrote cult on it and jwfacts.com on it.
Never done it, but it's a great idea.
i need to vent about some stuff that this religion does to just about anyone at this point.
so i was raised in this religion and when i was 12 or 13 i told my mom (and step dad which has made my decision much firmer) that i didn’t want to be a witness because it’s too restrictive.
my mom proceeded to cry and guilt trip her way into ending this conversation.
