  Do You Know Any “Gay” Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of course the religion condemns homosexuality but did you know any gay witnesses?

  i knew some bethelites that were very effeminate and i remember 4 women who were suspected of being lesbians by many in the congregation.

  they eventually moved away and were very vocal against males, especially elders..

  George Lucas tinkering with Star Wars films

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  just thought i'd start a thread about lucas revisiting star wars films and making new edits - for better or for worse.. first off, let me say that george lucas has a tremendous imagination and star wars (1977), also known as episode 4: a new hope, and the empire strikes back (1980) - episode 5 in the franchise - are two of my favourite films.

  .

  as progress has been made in special effects, including the development of cgi, it makes sense for lucas to go back and retouch the spaceships, laser blasts and light sabres, improving what was 70s and 80s effects.. but i feel that lucas' tinkering has been a mixed bag - some have been bad choices, some unnecessary and others have been good.. what do you think ... .

  George Lucas has tinkered with the classic "Star Wars" movies enough (i.e. putting Hayden Christensen as Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi and replacing the original ewok music).

  I’m not d’fed, but when I see jdubs out and about, most of them pretend to not see me or recognize me. But then again, they did that when I was “regular at the meetings(™)" too.

  At this point in my life, I’m really not sure. But I do know this. If there is a “higher power” out there, he/she/it doesn’t give a $#@* about us here on Earth.

  One of the things I disliked about moving to a new congregation

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i hope i’m not the only one who experienced this but i hated it when we moved to a new congregation and another family from the congregation we were in would move to the same congregation basically following us.

  and it was annoying because i always felt like there was this competition over privileges and participation during the meetings with this particular family.

  it was so annoying.

  Maybe you should call the police? Oh, just make sure it's okay with the elders first.

  They are appealing to the UN Human Rights Committee? Interesting. Business is business, right?

  Talk about robbing Peter to pay Paul. I don't like the org anymore than the next person, but this is wrong on every level.

  Way to go, Russia.

  What Made You Decide To Finally Leave The Organization?

  was there one certain event or was it more a cumulative thing?.

  For me it was many things. I am a very analytical person. That is not a good trait to have in the org. Certain things never made sense to me, but I always found a way to repress or ignore those thoughts. But the one thing that made me say "huh?" was the overlapping generations. I have been mentally out ever since.
  

  There was collateral damage, however. My marriage is shot. I have no friends. My wife and I don't even speak. It is almost like my family has moved on without me.

  Sometimes I wonder if learning TTATT was worth it.

  Is the earth flat? No

  Did we land on the moon? Now that we can debate.
