undercover: We Won't Get Fooled Again!
;)
i will totally leave names out, as many get all huffy about that.
it's also possible that i am wrong, though i doubt it.. it's just that some trolls seem to deliberately be terrible spellers to make themselves look more naive and when they leave here for whatever reason, some new bad speller comes along in less than a week with an impossible problem or a complicated love situation with a jw or they are a firm believer with questions.
just watch out.

i didn't want to detract from the "favorite movie" thread, so here is a place for any cool tombstone quotes.
hell, there's a ton of em... i'll start with one.. ike clanton: what is that now?
twelve hands in a row?
Curly Bill: [takes a bill with Wyatt's signature from a customer and throws it on the faro table] Wyatt Earp, huh? I heard of you.
Ike Clanton: Listen, Mr. Kansas Law Dog. Law don't go around here. Savvy?
Wyatt Earp: I'm retired.
Curly Bill: Good. That's real good.
Ike Clanton: Yeah, that's good, Mr. Law Dog, 'cause law don't go around here.
Wyatt Earp: I heard you the first time.

Am I the only one who assumes that the "new" trolls spell as badly as the "old" trolls because the new trolls ARE the old trolls.....
?
i too have fond memories of fred franz.
i served in brooklyn bethel from 1978 to 1987. brother franz would go to the 119 columbia heights sauna every wednesday night.
he had a small following of brothers, including me, who would also go on wednesday nights to the sauna just to pick his brain.
It has been established that Fred Franz was never offered a Rhodes Scholarship.
i've just watched all 3 parts of francis ford coppola's epic godfather once again.
it is a superb achievement on many levels.
each viewing reveals something new and fresh.. i recall, as a good jw at the time, not seeing it when released as it was not certified as 'suitable' given the content for jws.
I also want to add
Dark City
and
12 Monkeys (Bruce Willis)
If you haven't seen them, check them out.

Tombstone is incredible. Definitely in my top five. I've never seen much love for it so I'm happy to find some other fans. I saw it twice in the theatre. Own it on VHS and DVD, and as soon as I find it, on BluRay. :)
Memorable quotes:
Wyatt Earp: So run, you cur... RUN! Tell all the other curs the law's comin'! You tell 'em I'M coming... and hell's coming with me, you hear?... Hell's coming with me!

Doc Holliday: Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.
--
Doc Holliday: I beg to differ, sir. We started a game we never got to finish. "Play for Blood," remember?
Johnny Ringo: Oh that. I was just foolin'.
Doc Holliday: I wasn't.
--
Billy Clanton: Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double. [draws a knife]
Doc Holliday: [takes out a second gun] I have two guns, one for each of ya.
:)
Also loved Fight Club.
Haven't been mentioned yet so I will add The Matrix and Gladiator.

Q24, 25. (a) How did the young man described at Proverbs 7:6-23 show that he was "in want of heart"? (b) How can we 'acquire heart'?
Question (b) jumped out at me. The Hebrew word referred to and translated as "acquire" is qanah and it's the same word the Watchtower Society translated "produced" at Proverbs 8:22:
"Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way.." (NWT)
The Watchtower Society pretends that Proverbs 8:22 is a reference to Jesus (despite the fact that nothing in the context implies it) and so to "prove" that Jesus is a created being, they've translated qanah as "produced" rather than "acquired"; ergo, Jehovah "produced" Jesus.
It is noteworthy that qanah appears a dozen times in the book of Proverbs. In every single case the NWT translates it "aquire" except that one case in Proverbs 8:22.

i give you this seventies classic which featured in a 2004 hit film.. love it so i do!.
For my buddy lurk3r....
so the word "trinity" is not used in the bible...one of the many jw reasons to not believe in the trinity.
what are some words that jehovah's witnesses use that are also not in the bible?.
angel eyes: You won't answer for the same reason you wouldn't answer as Renia. Because there is no answer other than to say the Watchtower religion is full of shit, which, understandably, you are reluctant to say.
It makes no difference to me whether you answer the question or not. I already know the answer :) and I didn't expect you to answer it in the first place. But so that others understand what you are about, here is the question you refuse to answer once again:
Given the Biblical command to abstain from "blood" and since "blood fractions" does not appear in the Bible, can you explain the scripturalness of accepting transfusions of "blood fractions" in light of the fact that the Reasoning book says blood fractions may not be eaten?
jookbeard: if angeleyes told her elders where she was hanging out and who she was conversing with, they'd look at her the exact same way. Gotta love those JWs who defend the WT religion WHILST they are breaking the WT rules.

She took the time to tell me she was not Renia, but ignored my question. Classic renia.
