comedy legend barry humphries passed away yesterday aged 89. he was the genius behind dame edna everage and sir les patterson.. humphries was also an intellectual, with a huge personal library of first prints and rare editions.
he apparently dropped out of studying law because he found it 'boring', from what i remember reading about him.
instead, he created a number of comedy characters - as much for his own amusement as ours.. here's to a long life, well-lived 🥂.

and my next favourite female protagonist is ellen ripley, played by sigourney weaver.. ripley only just survived in ridley scott's alien (1979).. the sequel, james cameron's aliens (1986), was mostly about ripley overcoming her trauma from the first film.. she also ends up seriously kicking ass.. ripley is probably my favourite protagonist of all time.. the following clip is lovely.
newt calls her mommy 🥰.
@Diogenesister - repetition for emphasis! 😁
next is ellen ripley, played by sigourney weaver, of the alien franchise.. ripley only just beat the xenomorph in ridley scott's alien (1979).. she spends most of james cameron's aliens (1986) dealing with and overcoming her trauma.
eventually, she seriously kicks ass.. she also becomes a surrogate mommy to newt, the abandoned girl who the space marines find on lv-426.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qssrxuhfawy.
Yeah, I know.
It is not my habit to post multiple posts. It has happened in this case because I had some trouble posting a few days ago.
Don't worry, I'm not trying to brainwash people into liking Ripley or anything.

ok, so another favourite female protagonist of mine is ellen ripley, played by sigourney weaver.
she just about overcame the xenomorph in ridley scott's alien (1979).
and she spent most of james cameron's aliens (1986) getting over her trauma.. here's some nice footage of newt calling ripley 'mommy' .... https://youtu.be/7fjana93kea.
@Vidiot - not very often.
The Godfather (1972) - The Godfather Part II (1974)
A New Hope (1977) - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Alien (1979) - Aliens (1986)
The Terminator (1984) - Terminator 2 Judgment Day (1991)
^^^ Although with the latter two examples I actually think the first films are better.
yeah, so, another favourite female protagonist of mine is ellen ripley.
she only just about managed to defeat the xenomorph in alien (1979).. james cameron's aliens (1986) is mostly about ripley trying to get over her trauma from the first film.. love this clip of newt calling her mommy 🥰.
it's great....

please add or correct the following written by helge kare fauskanger.
"for starters, imagine a distinctly insular form of protestant fundamentalism minus the trinity (god and jesus are held to be separate beings, and the holy spirit is god's active power rather than a person).
note: since the witnesses want to think of their faith as something absolutely unique, they themselves will not agree that they are either protestant or fundamentalist.. * very important to call god by his proper name of jehovah, and as noted, you must not get him mixed up with jesus.
I think Helge Kåre Fauskanger has pretty much nailed it. 👍
I think one thing not mentioned is the preaching work: JWs must do this.
