Personally, I think "The Empire Stricks Back" is one of the best Sci-Fi movies ever made.
Who thinks Revenge of the Sith will sink the Titanic as the #1 money-maker ever?

one of my local (pittsburgh) radio/tv stations has created a message board for people to share their thoughts and congratulations with the nine miracle miners.

an arrest was made in the murder of this little girl.
the man arrested was charged with child molestation in 2000, but never convicted.
If DNA evidence confirms he's guilty, I'd suggest a Roman flogging (historically the most brutal) then burn him at the stake.
There is no reason why America should have compassion on this individual. Absolutely no reason !!!
In this instance, however, this "beast" will get the empathy of the great American judicial system (which is definitely not tooth for tooth).
May peace and grace follow you Samantha wherever you now are...
we have a group of friends over right now, some are former jw and some have never been involved.
we are watching the news about the little girl death and the question has come up: .
why did god let this little child die like this?
Here is a decent comment on God vs. Evil... (a bit long to post directly)
The existence of "evil" is one of my biggest struggles in having a firm belief in God. I just can't come to believe there is no God. In fact, the more I observe the atrocities of this world and, at the same time, observe the true innocence of my four young children, the more I come to believe an actual Good vs. Evil war is being fought right here on our planet!
I use to blame God. Now, these atrocities affirm a personal determination to guide my "free-will" towards love. I still got lots of "why" questions, especially in the case of this little girl, but God is God and I am not...
As a side note, I first learned of this tragedy watching a news broadcast during lunch with fellow co-workers. I dismissed myself and went back to my office and wept. I returned a few moments latter to the lunchroom. My co-workers were boisterously talking about today's stock market performance. The tragedy didn't stun them a bit; no emotion, nothing.
Today, I proudly shed a tear for innocence. As Samatha's friend said, "Today I cried because I missed my friend".
May Peace and Grace follow you Samatha...

the corporation i work for let go more than 1/2 of our local staff today without severance pay.
many of those let go were close friends whom i'd like to stay in touch.
i feel guilty, however, that i'm still onboard!.

Can anyone offer wisdom on what I can say to these "friends" to break the ice? I've never experienced a corporate "layoff"...
do you remember those articles called "what is the meaning of life?".
there was almost one in every watchtower and books such as "live forever" had chapters devoted to the subject.
i think there was a picture of some lonely guy looking out to sea across a sunset with that typical witness depressed but joyfull look.. any way, i was thinking to myself after finding such an article on the web that i haven't been pre-occupied by such questions since leaving the borg.
Q: what's the meaning of life ?
A: to prepare for the next level of play
I'm fairly certain, by the looks of the horrific reality which I live, I am near the final level of play in the video game we call life. I figure my role as defender of the universe is to eat wings and drink beer (for strength) then repeatedly stifle all my enemies! Just when you think you're about finished with the level, around the corner comes an even worst case scenario = more wings, more beer, more stifling... I currently seem to be stuck at the current level in a vicious cycle! and my strength is at 40%. Knowing my luck, my memory card will crap and I'll have to start back at level 0.
In short, the current level, our reality, can't last indefinitely so don't get too comfortable.
I do sense I'm very near the next, perhaps final, level of play.
so often that question is asked.
"why does god allow sickness?
why does god allow hurricanes?
Why does God allow ?
First ask, why does *god* allow ?
We, humans, are god of planet Earth. All this shit about "where is God" and "why does God" is quite irrational. It no better than blaming your neighbor for all the shit in YOUR life.
If humans would ever get their act together and awake to their amazing wit, then and only then would be justified in inquiring God.
Funny, if we did ever reach such utopia we'd find paradise.
Really: if you can't see the god within, how will you ever see God?
sharon like her sister janet was also raised a jw.
she left the religion three years ago just about the same time as robert and janet.
her husband is not a jw but did attend the occasional meeting.
With much heartfelt sympathy only tears can express to let you know others do share your grief,
Yours in hope,
Mike
