i've been doing some research about famous witnesses.
some were raised and eventually left, while others came in as adults.
they range from sports players, musicians, and entertainers.

"I don't count people on Brookside or East Enders as famous."
So you don't count famous people as being famous? Erm, OK...
"Putting Geri Halliwell in the same league as Thelonius Monk is simple blasphemy"
I wasn't. I was just pointing out she isn't a Z lister.

@ Dis-Member:
On what planet are Peter Andre, Naomi Campbell, Geri Halliwell, Dave Hill, Thelonius Monk, Van Morrision, Prince and Jill Scott "z-listers"? I'm not saying they are all talented (hello Peter and Naomi) but all are famous, have had long term careers and, except Naomi, are successful artists with Geri, Dave and Prince all having had multiple multi-million selling records.

It's also known as The 100 Foot Journey here in the UK.
It's actually directed by Lasse Hallström who made many succcessful films such as Chocolat, The Shgipping News, The Cider House Rules and Salom Fishing In Yemen, none of which I've ever seen but also made My Life As a Dog http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Life_as_a_Dog which is one of the best movie's ever made.
what are your thoughts?
accident or assassination?.
i still get upset over this.
Accident or assassination?
Obviously Diana's death was an offering to the Great Old One Cthulhu, orchestrated by Prince Philip and carried out by M.I.6

what was the most outrageous comment you ever heard during a wt study?.
.
please share your experiences..
This isn't really a comment but there was one elder in my congregation who I noticed always used the same examples and metaphores when giving talks.
My "favourite" one was when he was talking about people making the minimal ammount of effort re field service and would always use the example of a "minimalist painter" who "just splashes paint here and there over the canvas" which was an obvious reference to the work of Jackson Pollock the famous abstract expressionist who made action paintings that are so full of movement and colour that they are about as far as you can get from minimalism.
Another that stays in my mind even 20 years later is that he would regularly quot Nietzsche's famous phrase "God is dead" but as well as no doubt having no idea of it's origin also appeared to believe that the phrase was to be taken literally. Idiot.
Both these really annoyed me whenever he used them and I do wish I'd stood up and informed him how ignorant he was but never plucked up the courage to do so.
this is a song by lauryn hill, i believe she herself or her immediate family was associated with the jw cult.
i like to share this song every once in a while, its very powerful and inspiring for those having difficulties with the jw cult.

She got out?
Yeah, got out of jail having served her sentence for not paying her taxes LOL
i had a phone call with one of the elders who advised i attend the assembly at the weekend.
i have plans (and a life) but i said i'd go there on the weekend as i can't take short notice time from my studie and work.
does anyone have a link to the assembly or transcript that i could look through?.
Wow. Thanks Watchtower-Free.
i have published a blog, critical of jehovah's witnesses.
the name might be a bit of a clue that something's up.. .

Nice work. Regarding the links to jw.org, if any problematic auto generated links appear on your posts maybe go back and edit them away by adding your own link to, for example, the relevant page at jwfacts from the effected word.
with the unveiling of the new jw logo, and all of the emphasis placed on it , will the borg dare to put it on a flag?
i hope they do!
imagine all whom would wake up with such an act!
Reading back my above comment it occurred to me that the Bible could perhaps be described as a Middle Eastern Lord of the Rings with Jesus as it's Gollum/Smeagol character.
