Matrix Theory - Your input please
by Elsewhere inok... i have to admit that i have been obsessing over the movies the matrix... especially after the second one where some odd things happened.
agent smith was replicating in the matrix, neo was "feeling" and stopping the sentinels in the real world, agent smith copied himself into a human in zion.. now i normally don't obsess over movies... i usually just watch them once and then move on... no big deal.
but this time i have been trying to figure out all of the odd things about the matrix.. i wanted to throw my theories out for everyone to examine and see what you all think.... here goes... remember in the first movie when neo went to see the oracle?

I decided not to even bother typing out a long explanation of my theory, since Simon took the words right out of my mouth (or off the ends of my fingers, if you will).
No one we've seen thus far has been 'out' of the Matrix. Zion's just another part of the whole...

by RunningMan inwell, after a 15 month absence from the kingdom hall, i once again found myself in the biggest kingdom hall of all the district convention.
as in previous years, the material presented was dull and repetitious, so once again, i was forced to provide my own entertainment.
so, like last year, i am pleased to present a further installment to my assembly adventures, called:

Hardly surprising, is it? You'd have to be already a little bit unstable to buy into the whole thing, and even if you weren't it wouldn't take long on the inside before you were well on your way to being so...
It's been my experience that JW's have a higher incidence per capita (astronomically so) of mental illness within their ranks than the population at large.

However, freedom of speech is not an issue for majority rule. In fact, it is quite the opposite. The principle is designed to protect minorities.
While I agree with the spirit above, the issue at hand is the exercising of this freedom on other people's private property. I absolutely agree that a person has a right to say and think whatever they damn well please, but as soon as they cross into my yard, and ring my doorbell on my porch, I get to decide what kind of behavior they can engage in. Let them 'witness' 24/7 for all I care, just keep it off my property--and if this ordinance restricts the time in which they can be knocking on my door, I say bring it on.
Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.

I was also counselled on volunteer work I did for the Senior Center and the Center for Independent Living
Well, the name alone would send the Elders into a tizzy, I suppose.

StinkyPatnz- You know, you're totally right! I got to thinking about it just now and Alex Cross was a James Patterson character (those novels with the nursery rhymes names). Color me stupid! I guess that's the hazard of reading too many books from the same genre, right?
Now I suppose I can stop thinking of Freeman while reading Kellerman books...

Hey Stinky-
I love Kellerman's Delaware novels--I've read them all, and the most recent one is masterful. The major problem I've had with them in the last few years is the casting of Morgan Freeman in the role in the film adaptations to date. Freeman is a superb actor, and he tackled the roles expertly (as he does every role) but the character is NOTHING like Freeman in the novels, and now all I can hear in my head is his distinctive voice and cadence while I'm reading. As a connoisseur of what my husband calls the "Popcorn Mystery Novel" (since I go through them like popcorn, and they are low brain power, mind-candy reads), I can highly recommend Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series as another set of well-written, entertaining novels in the genre that you might enjoy.
I read voraciously, sometimes juggling two or three books at once--depends on what I'm in the mood for. Currently I'm reading "The Language Police: How Pressure Groups Restrict What Students Learn" by Diane Ravitch, "The Face" by Dean Koontz (though formulaic, I've read and highly enjoyed all of his books), and we're reading "Where the Red Fern Grows" by James Whitmore aloud as a family (a timeless classic, we felt it would be better to read it aloud to the children as to-hopefully-minimize the weeping at the end. I re-read the last half of the book in it's entirety the other night just to make sure I could get through it without breaking down, and I still wept like a child...). When we finish that book, we're really looking forward to June 21st when our new copy of the fifth Harry Potter book is delivered!
