i guess every jw has a different conscience on the matter, and i don't believe any jw publications have ever specifically mentioned nudity in film as being off limits.
of course genitals are out of the question because that's usually relegated to r movies which most good jws don't view.
female toplessness is condoned but not spoken about, as most jws i know have seen titanic and many own it.
It’s interesting the OP mentioned Titanic.
The year after Tiranic won every award under the sun, the District Overseer visited our circuit 25 in Woodland Hills and gave a public discourse denouncing by name Titanic for its pornography and Star Wars for it’s mockery of the Bible and Jesus Christ.
He shamed everyone in the audience that went to see the movies and didn’t walk out of theatres.
there are amazing people that are here and this site.
people with their incredible stories of religious abuse.
these people like the courageous people who were on the a&e show this last week have showed me and thousands of others the power of how just one person or even a small group of people can effect many.. the power of just one person standing up and saying "this is not right" has changed history.
11 hours ago and no response? WTF
I wholeheartedly agree.
One post, one comment...
could wake a sleeping giant.
Carry on bravely.
i believe that just because someone shows up at the voting booth, it doesn’t automatically qualify them to be legitimate voters.
i think it’s not unreasonable to provide proof that you are qualified..
Waton,
in your case i would demand a birth certificate and your first/last month’s rent.

Current non expired State ID or passport. Or birth certificate and current utility bill.
It works in schools across the nation.
rewatching the leah remini special and i accidentally referred to one of the governing body members as “brother”.
simply because i have no other word.
i said the “governing body douche bag” i can work with that... .
Quotes work for me and so do air quotes physically.
When there is an audience they need to know the correct terminology and also that we no longer buy into it.
Its true, the peeps on the Aftermath show would have had to use air quotes often. But it would have been impactful. I cringed every time they used a coin word like it was worthy of acknowledgement. Leah called Lloyd out on it once.
thought i'd post this since the date is almost upon us for those who want to see it as it premieres.hope it turns out really good and that she can help many to see the watchtower for what it really is like she did about the scientologists.here's a link to a small preview of it:https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/video/leah-remini-scientology-aftermath-jehovah-s-witnesses-special-event-trailer-1153594
Leah was sharp in her rebuke to Lloyd, “It is not Christianity!”
Lloyd, “Well, that is their stance, what they claim.”
Leah, “ But you are repeating it!”
It was awkward. We knew what Lloyd meant and where he was coming from but it was clear it got under Leah’s skin.
If it degenerated into a discussion of religious doctrine nothing would have been accomplished in exposing the horrific policies of WT.
how many here have been active here on this site in the the last seven days?.
I only come here to irritate Morph, Minimus, and Simon.
And to read Cofty’s posts.
And Blondie’s dismantling of WT mag issues
And Barbara’s news reports.
in terms of destruction.
52,000 people are evacuated.
started thurs.
Yeah I’m in the Foothill Cities area of Los Angeles.
We had horrid air today from the smoke and ash. Hard to complain considering the loss so many just had.
crazy people shoot up places and kill people.
take away guns and they will find knives, poison, bombs , etc.. seriously, there are a lot of mentally unhealthy people!
they need professional long term help..
Liberals just swamped the house. They’ll be running plenty of things.
Assault is a word.
I like Minimus. He melts in my mouth, not on my hands. Be nice to him.
The rest of you are like a tray full of baby mushrooms.
Of course that must be better than a tray full of baby carrots.

This has been a horrible year for Cal fires. I’ve literally seen 100 ft flames in the hills from my house 3 times. It is terrifying because the winds can change in an instant and nothing can stop the flames.
We don’t get the hurricanes or floods, but damn we know how to burn.
