yeah i saw ep 8 tlj yesterday.. first off, the special effects - a combination of cgi and practical - are fantastic, although with a budget of $200 million i expect them to be.. there are many issues i have with this movie and here's one: leia flying through space, i mean, wtf?!.

yes, we know leia is luke's brother and so has some force-sensitivity - she talked telepathically to luke in the empire strikes back.. apart from that, she's never really used any abilities she may have or been taught the ways of the force ... and now she's flying through space!

xd.

I found my old when I mean old PO it was when i was in the congregation he was PO of in 1989 and earlier from the 70s. I posted Is this the insert name here, that was PO of my old congregation? How does it feel to have lived so long and now you are dying and the end still is not on the horizon? All those years you moved up to that cong. in the mid 70s because it was the end in 1975.

He actually replied "it feels good" I could not believe he replied. Wrong thing to do with me. I know his history. His kids were DFed for a while for having sex and partying with wordily people. His wife was a fat ass, that would literally stick her nose in the air and act like it was her personal religion. She would sing like she was auditioning for an opera. We would all make fun of her. I then posted the child pedophile videos and asked if this was good? Along with all the failed predictions. I don't think he knows how to block. Got a few of the cong. supporters saying sorry for this rude behavior. This PO was one of the biggest douche nozzles ever. He thought his crap did not stink. He was very competitive in anything he did. He would take off work and go trucking for the JWs back in the day when they trucked their own food. And wear cowboy boots on stage, we used to call him gear jammer. So funny most times you don't get an acknowledgment. I don't think he understands the enjoyment I get at poking the bear. And I know too many secrets.

Immigration: The Truth about the LIe - CRIME

by Wonderment in

immigration: the truth about the lie: crimecrime: do immigrants increase rates of violence?

there has been a lot of talk about how immigrants pose a threat to the safety of this country by increasing crime rates.

is there any truth to this, or is it "fake news.

blownaway

Illegal immigration puts a strain on the system. Some who come in come to smuggle drugs and people. No nation has ever survived and not had boarders. Places like Eastern Europe Poland and others who limit immigration and do not let in Muslims are not having the beheading, stabbings of killings as England, Germany and the USA. In Germany there are no go zones Women have been groped and rapped. It is an issue. Japan has very limited immigration and is very hydrogenous and it is very stable low crime and the people are happy.

JWs made me hate school

by StephaneLaliberte in

yesterday, i had an epiphany.

i realized that the jw religion made my experience in school awful and i hated school because of this.. yesterday, my kids had an activity where the whole school was out at the park, playing baseball, soccer, other pic-nic games and even swimming pools.

during the day, i had conversations with the teachers and saw the kids out, playing having fun.

blownaway

No doubt. I was told teachers were all hippies trying to get us to go to collage and have immoral sex. They were going to die at Armageddon and it was a waste of time. I dropped out of High school with three months to go to go to work for my uncle in his electric business and go out in service. My mother did make me take American correspondence school out of Chicago to get my diploma. But I remember telling my teachers that collage is only for drinking and sex. God damn the cult is evil. I will tell people about this till I am dead.

"This Good news Of The Kingdom Will Be Preached In All The Inhabited Earth" ........

by smiddy3 in

..".for a witness to all the nations and then the end will come" .matt.24:14.. the religion of jehovah`s witnesses kid themselves into thinking they are filling or have fulfilled this prophecy/scripture .. given that you take the jehovah`s witnesses and the international bible students association as one and the same religion , then they have been preaching their message primarily within lands that are predominantly christian based.....and certainly do not cover "all the inhabited earth " as their are many populous non christian nations nations that do not allow, even forbid any proselytizing in their lands.

i would estimate about one third of the current world population.. but that is not all .. given that you take the jehovah`s witnesses and the international bible students association as one and the same religion ,then they have about 140 years of preaching their beliefs to the public specifically to preach "this good news of the kingdom " as they claim to do in obedience to j.c.commands at matt.24:14.. take a survey no matter where you live on this planet earth of the people in your locality and if you asked them "what was the message jehovah`s witnesses left you and no one would be able to say "they told me about and explained to me the good news of the kingdom" and what it would mean to me.. no one would be able to say that .after 140 years of preaching and witnessing by what is now 8 million plus jehovah`s witnesses .. what a waste of time and energy and lives .. after 140 years of preaching what do the public know about jehovah`s witnesses ?.

they don`t take blood transfusions .

blownaway

I have heard it both ways, that everyone must hear the word and that there may be some remote areas that do not get preached. Its more Tower double speak.
