21Ford versus Ferrari
by jhine inso after the unqualified success of my last review ( green book ) l thought that l would try again .
l went to see ford versus ferrari / le mans 66 according to where you live .
now l am no petrol head and talk of motor racing usually makes my eyes glaze over but this film is about much more than laps on a circuit .

No , this is based on the true story of the attempt by Ford Motors to build a car to beat Ferrari at the 1966 Le Mans .
lt stays quite true to the actual events only abridging them to get them into what is still over 2 hours of film . 99% 0f the characters are real people and it is , I M H O , a really good watch .

So after the unqualified success of my last review ( Green Book ) l thought that l would try again . l went to see Ford versus Ferrari / Le Mans 66 according to where you live .
Now l am no petrol head and talk of motor racing usually makes my eyes glaze over but this film is about much more than laps on a circuit . The human drama behind the scenes is fascinating and l really think that Christian Bale as Ken Miles should get some sort of recognition .
So if you are not a fan of motor racing you can still enjoy this film and l did find it very entertaining .

Not so much has been said about the WT's insertion of words not in the original , to change the meaning of the text .
As in putting Jehovah into the text in numerous places when there is no evidence that it was in the original writings .
Or inserting the word " other " into " Col 1: 15-17 to change the meaning .

Welcome to the forum , I'm afraid that l don't meet any of your criteria though . l am a middle to older aged woman who has never been a JW , in fact l am a life long Anglican from England .
l have learnt a lot about the Watchtower religion from this site , and you will get lots of good advice on here .

Steve , that's what l wondered . It seemed odd that he hadn't been put in touch with a cong when he moved , that is what usually happens isn't it ?

Hi Reg , welcome to JWN . l see that no one else has answered you yet , there may be a few reasons for that . This is a site primarily for ex JWs , however l am not in that group .
l suspect that many on this site would give a lot of reasons for your depression , all stemming from being in the WT . I don't know much about this but l find it odd that you have not been put in touch with a local cong. that appears to be the usual procedure when someone moves to a new area .

head coverings
by loveforgod inhi there i am not a jw but i am having bible study.
i came to christianity a few months before and i was searching for the right path.
one of the things god spoke to me about and directed me in was to do away with all the vanity that was in me and now i wear the head covering and the modest dresses.

Anyone , Christian or not should be concerned about civil rights , freedom of speech , women's rights , child ( and vulnerable adults ) protection . I speak as a Christian , an Anglican , and all my fellow Christians are concerned about those issues .
Loveforgod , it's great that you are searching for a relationship with Yaweh and people with whom you can share that faith . You say that JWs have some ideas and outlooks that resonate with you . That may be their theological teaching about the Trinity ( that it doesn't exist ) or maybe just their family values and apparent love for each other . I say apparent because many on here will tell you how former friends and even family have very quickly turned their backs when they when they started to question and doubt .
You have already realised that asking questions is a no no , and you will find that any kind of dissent is quickly squashed . I would try going on an Alpha Course if you can . Anglican , Catholic and other denominations run them . Each Alpha Course is the same so it doesn't matter which group you choose . You will be encouraged to ask questions and express doubts . If nothing else it would give you a base on which to compare the Watchtower and other faith groups , which l really recommend that you do before letting the Watchtower get it's hold on you . When once you are baptised they will effectively have total control over you , even to the point of requiring you to shun your lovely children if THEY deem it necessary . Before you give them that power please research and check out all the options on the market .
If you want you can pm me for further discussion .
