Double-life, sounds like a prison sentence....or maybe not?
by sparrowdown inquestion: do you think the "double-lifers" have the best of both worlds?.
just asking, because i have wondered, if i had an outlet to express my utter.
disgust and general dissatisfaction with wt teachings and cong-life while i. was still in, ie on forums etc, maybe i would never have left.. just a thought, anyone else have any?.

the guy has a swastika tattooed on his forehead for godsakes.. i can just imagine the ceremony goning something like....... "do you psycho cult leader take thee desperate prison groupie to be your lawfully wedded wife?".
"i do, but as a psycho i spit on the law, the law sucks, i do not care about your steenking laws, i will train an army of these bitches........".

Is Heaven is for real for real?
by sparrowdown inwatched the movie heaven is for real.i was not familiar with this "true" story and wondered.
if anyone else is.
it is hard to know how much is a dramatisation and how much is actual account.. the story seemed "milked" at times and "much ado about nothing", but greg kinear's performance was great.. i have wondered whether the potrayal of christian america is an accurate one.. the young girl that paints jesus portraits was a nice touch (in a twilight zone kind of way).. all in all i think it raised some interesting questions about the role of faith and community.. .
