  hey guys, so now that i’m pretty much atheist and i’m not scared of demons or supernatural things, or bring them into my house by watching movies or reading books about them lol, i defenitly want to watch a few scary movies.

  i’ve always loved scary movies, but as witness, you don’t get to watch many since they need to be pg-13 and have no spiritism in it lol.

  does anyone have any suggestions?

  Addison: I defenitly [sic] want to watch a few scary movies. ... [But} I do not like too much torture stuff though or people getting mutilated or their bodies chopped in two.
  

  Um, I'm thinking maybe you don't know what the horror genre is about actually!

  You might as well have asked, "I want to watch some porn but only without any sex in it."

  That being said, if you seriously want to watch some horror, go see It.

  OTWO: I believe the underlying message behind "Make America Great Again" is nostalgia for a pre-Civil Rights time.
  

  This comment by OTWO, raises some important and often ignored questions that need to be asked about this "Make America Great Again" slogan:

  • What is it -- right now (or 2016,if you prefer) -- about America that isn't great? (Be specific.)
    
  • When was it exactly exactly that those who endorse this slogan believe that America "was great"?
  • Why exactly do they think that America "was great" then, but not now?
  • What values and beliefs are implicit in accepting this slogan and everything that goes with it?
  • Correspondingly, what values and beliefs does accepting this slogan require a person to thereby reject?

  I have some very specific ideas about the answers to all of these questions, but would be very curious the hear the answers from members of our forum.

  Miss America and Misguided Views on Sexuality

  so miss america pageant is going to remove the swimsuit and evening gown parts of their pageant because they have decided it's demeaning to women.

  i guess it will just be women in overcoats telling us they want world peace .... bravo, we all applaud, right?

  maybe we shouldn't be so quick to do so .... what is it really saying?

  Scratch, thanks for sharing the John Oliver clip from 2014. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes!!!
  

  The references to and clip with Trump beginning @ 4:50" are very ironic considering where he was then (when this video was made), where he is now and all that has transpired since.

  What a world!

  award : bachelor of arts.

  Girodano: it does not pay to expose yourself............. to true believers. More people get DF because they talked to a close family member or close friend who then threw them under the bus.

  True dat.

  Addison: [My dad] defended the way we did things and said the Catholics are much worse.

  Of course he did. The Catholics may have been worse, but they don’t seem to be any more when it comes to the issue of child abuse.

  Either way, it’s not much of a defense to say that others whom are much maligned are worse. That’s really setting the bar pretty low.

  Kenny: Do you guys believe in Jehovah?

  Fair question.
  

  The vast majority of us on this forum are ex-JWs. Many of us -- but not all -- are now complete atheists.

  Some few that leave Jehovah's Witnesses join other religions, but they seem to be a minority. After all, JWs are pretty good at pointing out the flaws in other religions. Once you realize that JWs are also a false religion, what's left?

  Well, okay then Kenny. I think I see what your problem might be: you write like an ignorant, uneducated racist. And apparently you are jealous of a woman that has clearly indicated she is not into you. So obviously you’re immature and not too bright.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news and all, but you asked!

  how'd you react?

  Imagine if next week I go back to US and you see in the news that the whole GB was arrested for no reason. How'd you react?

  I would react with a great deal of satisfaction for many reasons, but mostly because I know that any such arrest would in fact be for good cause. The leadership of the WTBTS are criminals.
