All those award shows have become a big platform for their causes. Remember when Marlon Brando sent that woman to accept his Best Actor Award for The Godfather to bring to light the plight of some cause (think it was the American Indian???), and what a big controversy that was? Those actors are so into themselves and their causes, they don't know what reality is, because they have everything given to them on a silver platter.

Movies You Watch Over & Over & Over

by 3acrewood in

have you noticed there are certain movies you just never get tired of watching?

what's does your list include?

here are some of mine (in no particular order as to favorites):.

I love watching "The Sound of Music." It's definitely my favorite movie. I recently went to see "See Along Sound of Music" - which was wonderful booing the Nazis and hissing at the Baroness.

I love watching "Shawshank Redemption" - I love seeing Tim Robbin's character get the best of Warden Norton - and Warden Norton getting it in the end. What a great movie.

Get-together on Saturday night and study the Watchtower!

do you remember those?

did anyone actually enjoy doing that?

some friends would say "hey, we're having a get together" and i would say sure we'll be there, then they'd say "oh, be sure and bring your watchtower!

TresHappy

I always wondered why our little get togethers never included a Watchtower study. Maybe because in that group, almost all of us have left the Borg. Maybe that was a sign.

My dating experience in the Watchtower has been incorporated into my JW romance short story on another thread...

Would you want to live in a Kingdom under the Duds?

by Maverick in

one of the 'problems' i had before blackguard deprogrammed me was i could not reconcile the actions of the j-dud masters with a loving god.

i felt if god was with these people i did not want to live in any new system under this power structure.

if god was as phoney, vengeful, and petty a person as his faithful and discreet slave was i was better off dead.
