My car's working again!!!

by SYN in

it's so cool to be able to drive around again.

after spending ludicrous amounts of money on it, i finally got my little 1979 ford escort running again.

of course, it can't go faster than 60 kilometers/hour without wobbling and losing paint, but then, the car is older than i am!!!.

Well, of course I'm jealous! You're on her continent and I'm not! Whoops, forgot you were married!

MATRIX fans, I need your help fast!!!

i'm working with bill bowen on a couple things and he and i .

are discussing through emails some points in the movie, matrix.

watched it again the other day, and still i'm stumped.

NO THEY ARE NOT!

Using humans to generate electricity is about as efficient as popping paper bags to make yourself fly forwards on a wheelchair!

There are creatures in the animal kingdom which are MUCH more efficent at generating electricity than lowly humans, such as stingrays and electric eels.

Humans are a rather poor choice in this regard.

Is my geeky side showing? Oh dear Ghod no. To think that all those G.A. (Geeks Anonymous, Hi, My name's [SYN], and I think Counterstrike sucks) meetings were for nothing!

Not just the young people, though. The pods in which the humans were placed are all filled with the same goo... liquified corpses.

Maybe I used the wrong word. What I meant was, the younger people!

Morpheus wasn't the only one flying around helping people out of the Matrix. More talented, maybe. But not the only one.

Well the only one I saw flying in the whole movie was NEO! Maybe in the next movie we get to see more rescuers whizzing about like they've got giant amounts of fizzy candy up their bums!

I share your obsession, dude! Although the Matrix's science was, uh, a bit fuzzy to say the least, it was a SCHWEET movie and I've watched it about 5^4828292 times!

1. Humans were used in the movie as energy source, batteries, for the
Matrix. What happened when the energy was depleted? What happened to
old people in the movie?

They got recycled and fed to the young people.

2. At the end of the movie, Neo was able to fly and was invincible.
Why were the others not able to do that too?

Because they weren't "THE ONE", whatever that means!

3. Morpheus was already free, outside of the Matrix. He was helping
others to escape and worked to unite them to fight for a real life
free from the Matrix. In modern times, who would you say is our
Morpheus, in relation to coming out of the Org?

Gee, this is starting to sound like a Watchtower Study In modern times, there are MANY Morpheuses. Ray Franz would be a big one, I suppose, if any, but it's wrong to glorify just one man, as there have been so many fine "Brothers" who've helped others out of the TroOpH.

4. Trinity was also outside the Matrix, and was a contact person who
repeatedly went "in" to accomplish what was needed. Fearless, yet
vunerable to the Agents because she still suffered from the
programming. Yet, when paired with Neo, she was able to face her
fears and accomplish the impossible. She was not up to the task on
her own, nor strong enough on her own, but rose to the occasion with
Neo. In modern times, who would you say is our Trinity, in relation
to coming out of the Org?

OMG, dude, bad vibes, this is JUST like a question in the Watchtower! Hell, I don't know?

5. Besides Silentlambs, what other "causes" in relation to the Org
can you think of? Standing up to a committee, standing up to JW's in
public as far as shunning. What other causes can you think of???

Well, AJWRB for starters!

...I ran out of posts for today, but I HAD TO answer this one!

DO you REALLY think this is THE END OF JW's?

by minimus in

everytime a new revelation comes to the board, some suggest that this is the big one.

whether it be the blood issue, the u n debacle, the silentlambs saga, some cryptic comment about jw's and their involvement with churches, it seems like nothing effects the jehovah's witnesses rank and file.

personally.

Hi Reborn,

Things must be really great in America, but sadly, the last time I drove past my old Hall, it was more packed than ever

Then again, South Africa is a country where only a very tiny part of the total population has access to the Internet, whereas in America many, many people have access...so that's probably a telling indication of just how powerful the Web can be!

just read this guy's economic outlook and ordered his book http://www.elliottwave.com/affiliates/ctc/part1.htm.

apparently, he made several right calls in the past.

he was on cnn tonight and predicted that we are in the initial phase of a deflationary depression.

Do JW's count BBs and Chat Rooms as Service Time?

by alliwannadoislive in

jw

out of interest, i've just posted the following at: http://forums.delphiforums.com/flame1/messages which is frequented by a number of active jws.. general discussion - do jehovah's witnesses count time here ?

previous | next from: alliwannado 5:16 am to: all (1 of 1) 465.1 it's a genuine question - do jehovah's witnesses count the time they spend posting on bulletin boards or in chat rooms as service time ?

i guess it completely fits in with the definition of witnessing to non-baptised individuals about jehovah's kingdom.

2SYN

Wish I'd had the Internet back then...would've left Dubland much sooner!

Preston makes some very good points. However, without the BORG, none of us would be on this site, and besides, it's kinda fun being able to call oneself an Apostate and I wouldn't give that up for anything! Hehe. But seriously, consolidating and rationalizing my Dub years has taken me a major number of years to do, and this place has helped. After I got all the "deeminz" out of my system, the people here carried on being friendly and wonderful conversationalists, so I stayed! It's that simple. Plus, it's nice to know there are people who've been through the same things as me.

Anyway, to respond to the actual subject of the thread, it must be obvious that nothing will completely get rid of the Watchtower. Apostates are basically like chemotherapy for the Cancer that is the Tower (in more ways than one) - while repeated applications of our Evil Apostate Powers might make the Tower shrink dramatically, we won't make it disappear within our lifetime, although I strongly suspect that we will make them change more than a few policies before we're pushing up the daisies. We've already caused widespread earthquakes in Dubland through the combined actions worldwide of certain of the more influential XJW people - and it's not going to stop as long as the murders and abuse continues.

i was just thinkin' about him, i mean, since you said he was so cute well i got all curious.. .

ooh it's late and i'm totally drained.

good night

Well, there's nothing I can see wrong with my posting habits. I often have to wait for LOOOONG compiles to finish while I'm working at night...during the day I generally don't post, purely because it's usually way too busy at my work, people clamouring for my attention, etc, and besides, it wouldn't look good if my boss were to see me here all the time. But, at night, it's a different story. I'm a fast typist, and a dab hand with the mouse, so for me to drop 40 posts on the board is no effort at all, and I'm here pretty much every night of the week....when you put all these things together with my naturally chatty, one-lining nature, you get somebody who will occasionally need an extra account. To be honest, it probably wouldn't kill me if this account, 2SYN, was zapped, but I still feel kinda close to him and realize that I should go and find some professional assistance, preferably from MrMoe

Edited to add: Lately, instead of using multiple accounts, it's been easier for me to simply edit other posts. Often, right after I post, I'll edit my post again to add additional thoughts and so forth. This has led me to reducing the number of times I have to use my 2SYN account.

by Nemesis in

is this video clip from randys site from a real watchtower video?

and if yes, does anyone have a source for a longer clip?

OH MY F$@K! Is that a real Tower video? One of the sickest thing they've ever produced, if it is!
