  "Midnight Mass" on Netflix

  i watched the 7 part series and finished today .what struck me about the show was how one could cherry pick scriptures to believe whatever you want to believe.. the use of scriptures to back up the beliefs was in my mind an eye opener.. ok so it was over the top and a horror supernatural series with a bit of blood and gore,and if your a bit squeamish about that sort of thing close your eyes till those parts are over .. but what i found fascinating ,intriguing,was how one of the main characters used scriptures to enforce her understanding of how they applied to the here and now of the series.. cherry picking of scriptures to believe what you want to believe,with a little help from a priest ,pastor ,organization.. i would recommend it ,as you can easily see how, their are now more than 40,000 different christian sects in the world including the mainstream ones who believe they only have the "truth".. i welcome your thoughts if you have seen it.. ps.

  obviously their are no jw`s on this island ..

  "Severence" is AppleTV. They don't have a lot of content, but the ones they do have are quite good (although I can't decide if I liked "Foundation" yet). "See" is another unusual one with an interesting premise (a plague wiped out much of humanity and everyone left is blind, then a few seeing people come along) but it's well done and quite captivating. My measure is how many times you want to "Play next" when it's getting late.

  That "Anonymous" video just seems to be sensationalist nonsense. It does nobody any good posting things like that as it just obfuscates the real issue and feeds into his "persecution complex", so I deleted it.

  Yes, the ridicule and disgust from completely independent commentators destroy any claims that this is about jealousy from other exJWs or any such nonsense.

  It's because what he's done is hilariously stupid and disgustingly immoral.

  I'll preemptively issue myself a demand letter, in shame.

  If you need help with the typos, try and borrow a friends cat to walk across the keyboard. Or a monkey ... preferably a drunk one.
  

  Another good discussion (great getting a woman's perspective on it)

  I think the greatest thing you can hope for is to be remembered, and remembered fondly.

  does anyone know about this musician alex ashley?

  somebody told me he was a jw.

  i look him up and he has a full beard, but he's hanging with the jazz couple who are in the watchtower chorus, and he's currently doing a tour with nicolas king.

  I'm reading rumours that Patreon is "reviewing" their account with him

  If Patreon don’t take action on that they surely lose credibility

  If they allow people to raise money under the guise of it being for one thing and then spend it on hookers in a known trafficking hotspot, they may as well not bother having any community rules. As it is, they have to care about their image and reputation, and they will care more about their own platform than some obscure grifter because ultimately it reflects on them:

  "If you are a creator raising funds on Patreon, we may be held accountable for what you do with those funds. As a result, we also look at what you do with your membership off our platform".

  Anyone who has contributed shouldn't just stop, they should be demanding a refund. Money talks.

  Money Heist (dubbed Spanish programme) is pretty fun too.
