I thought Willem Dafoe did a kickass job of playing the green goblin...
the wet shirt scene with Kirsten Dunst was priceless!

What will future generations do?
by sleepy ini was looking forward to the future, before it was drasticly cut short by my realisation that i will probably die in about 50 years.. but what kind of advances will we see in that time and on into the future.. just whatching a film from 5 or 10 years ago it seams like a different world.. i was watching a film last night and looking at the size of the mobile phones ,they looked like telephone boxes, and of course no internet, computers in cars to tell where you are or dvd players etc.. go back a little further and we have no videos ,no computers at all.. back a hundred years or so and we loose cars, plane , tv and most things we take for granted.. so what does the future hold?.
i find it quite exciting to think of what advances could be made.. cures for diseases , improvments to the human body?more information on the universe,improved transport lots of things.. going massivly into the future how about this, ressurection of dead people?
(even people who lived thousands of years before like us).

So what does the future hold?
My mother and I had this discussion about the "new system". She asked me, "Don't you want to live forever?" I replied, "Frankly, no! Because I don't want to live forever with the likes of Jehovah's Witnesses!" Her retort was that everyone will be reaching perfection and the things that trouble me now will pass over time as everyone becomes perfect. Great, I thought, it'll never work for me to be around millions of people who think they're perfect.

Will The Watchtower's Last Weapon Fail?

the watchtower's final weapon in its corrupt war against.

Angst
to quote Metatron:
4) Frankly, most Witnesses I've known MY WHOLE LIFE
I think the chronic illness part is so true Metatron. I've known countless chronically ill witnesses including my own mother. Personally I think that their being chronically ill is due in part to the fact that they are weak minded individuals who desparately feel the need to be led along mentally.
ARE JUST BORING COMPANY. God!, I often ask myself
what did I ever talk to these people about? They
don't read, think, or generally have hobbies
other than chronic illnesses! I don't care how
elevated they may think themselves to be - the
narrowmindedness of the 'truth' takes it toll!
Boring meetings make boring people! Their loss may
not be that great. -

Did U find Sheperding Calls rude?
by Reborn2002 inreading the lb thread "home but hiding" struck a chord with me.. i remember when i was inactive for the period of about a year the elders made a few "sheperding calls".. did anyone else out there find these very rude and condescending?.
first of all, in my case at least they always showed up unannounced.
how much do you think those "hell-ders" would like it if someone randomly dropped by their house unexpected?

Valis,
that sounds just like the party that I had at Bethel and was kicked out for...because a little bitchy narc night watchmen felt spritually concerned to inform on us...I'd have paid good money to kick that kids ass all the way to manhattan.
Course I'm happy to be gone now!!!

The Annual ``Don't Misbehave'' at Asemblies'' KM
by Room 215 ingreetings from the ``here we go again'' department.
while worldlings have only the song of the robins and the bloom of the daffodils and crocuses as harbingers of spring, jehovah's people and readers of their literature can always count on two more: the annual ``don't partake!
'' article in the watchtower, and the yearly exhortation to ``make nice at the summer's assemblies'' in the km.. in the case of the latter, the tone and content of the annual scolding is unbelievably demeaning to any responsible adult... being told to dress nice (suits and ties only, please, for the men and deresses only -- not too short ladies) not to abuse complimentary breakfasts, pool privileges and generally avoid rowdiness at the hotels where they stay-- all laced with clearly fabricated -- not to mention unattributed-- quotes from ``worldly observers amazed by our fine conduct.''.

Well when you consider the average IQ of the witnesses you have to take into account that a large majority of the kids homeschooled and couldn't even hack that. So it is necessary to talk down to the lowest common denominator in order to reach the idiots.
I think homeschooling should be banned unless you are physically or mentally unable to attend a school. Homeschooling=Idiocy!

celebration of birthdays...a matter of conscience?
by Angst inmy family and i have argued about this for awhile now and i would like someone to confirm this.
back in the late nineties at a district convention during the late sunday afternoon (yawn) symposium i swear i heard mention that the society now views the celebration of ones birthday to be a conscience matter and should be done with extreme caution so as not to affend others who may still view it as wrong.
forgive me for not remembering which year it was that this was mentioned.
