i managed to catch the new dvd on youtube last night before the inevitable takedown.
as a film i felt it wasn't anywhere near as good as the prodigal movie, the story wasn't as dramatic, the characters much less interesting and developed and the direction weaker.
i found the prodigal relatively entertaining (all things considered) this one was just dull.. here are some of my random thoughts anyway [spoiler alert - ha!].
The film regularly tried to make him appear bad because he was 'open minded and tolerant'
In JW Land, this does make a person wicked.
"open minded" means there's a possibility the JW may not know it all and has something yet to learn.
"tolerance" means that another person just may have a different perspective than the JW, but that's okay. Life is not black and white.
Both are fatal character flaws in Dub World.
i think i'm going over the edge with my quest for knowledge.
lol.
but there was a research on this subject and finally science answers.

Ironically, jam, those were my exact words the last time I had the misfortune of experiencing a female decompressional event.

women don't sweat, they "glisten".
women don't fart, they "decompress".
When they decompress, it's like being in the same room as a ninja; you don't know what's happening until it's too late.
its amazing that they preach that the world is about to come to an end so soon but they won't spend a dime of their own money to get the message out.. i mean think about it, a couple years back a california preacher with less than 100k followers and about 100 millions dollars was able to get his message out that the world was coming to an end in 2012 and people heard about his message globally.
the org on the other hand sold over a billion dollars worth of real estate and hasn't spent a dime to get its message out.
all the halls were built with the local brothers contributions same can be said of circuit assembly and branch sites.

The difference between him and WT is, he actually believed the message he was preaching....

I almost always read AndDontCallMeShirley's posts!
Thanks, skeeter. 50% of the time I half-heartedly read 10% of your posts. LOL.
recently, my mother, who had stopped talking to me because i was 'apostate,' started speaking to me again.. (note that i successfully faded as opposed to ever being disfellowshipped due to dodging every elder question with "i'm not sure, i'm still searching and trying to find the answers.").
the reason why?
at the international convention this year, they receieved a new video called something or other.
