Movie "The Mist"
by pratt1 ini saw the movie the mist this weekend.. i was surprized at how good it was.. it is based on a novel by stephen king, how does that guy continue to crank out novels and movies?.
if you like thrillers this is a good movie to see.. i won't spoil it for you, but the ending is a shocker!.

Do they still go ahead and disfellowship if you threaten them back?
by ThomasCovenant insupposing local elders were to approach me with a view to a 'judicial committee' and subsequent disfellowshipping.
law # 1 i believe everything the 'society' says.. law # 2 i also believe everything the 'society' has ever said in the past even when it contradicts law # 1.. law # 3 i also believe everything the 'society' will ever say in the future even when it contradicts law # 1 and law # 2. law # 0 (zeroth law) i believe law # 1, 2 and 3 all at the same time.. please don't disfellowship me.. .
if you carry out this action i will take it upon myself to make the local jw's life uncomfortable.

Does anyone remember that picture of the scarlet-colored beast WITH crowns?
by AlmostAtheist ini got my history a little mixed up in a post earlier tonight, trying to recall an error in a watchtower picture a few years ago.
the picture was of the scarlet-colored wild beast, but it had crowns.
the bible says this beast doesn't have crowns, it's the other one that has the crowns.

The Black/African American Perspective on the Watchtower Organization
by XOCO ini was wondering if anybody has some input/suggestions on their feelings of blacks/a.a (no offences to ppl who are white and born in s.african or anything of that nature.
ok in xocos case i'm h***an/american (born in the us) and i grew up in a predominantly h****an kh so mostly black and few european ppl/decent that spoke the francophone lang (*hint,hint*) i've never knew what it was like to be in a predominantly caucasian kh (4 that 1 year i was living in the bible belt of fl,us).
it was different and ppl were mesmerized by the way i acted compared to other a.a. jw around their near by khs.

Funny things that happen at your Thanksgiving dinner
by pratt1 ini have 2 stories of accidents/funny things that has happened at our thanksgiving dinner.. when i was newly married, my wife and i invited 2 other couples over for dinner on thanksgiving, because "turkey was cheap" so we bought one - we weren't really celebrating a holiday, it was just that a turkey was too big for just 2 people.
we were in denial.. my job was to make a cake, something i had never attempted and since i was a ms and the "head of the house" i didn't need any help from my lowly wife.. i wanted to make the cake fron scratch so i used the recipe on the back of presto baking flour.. because i was watching football at the same time i was trying to make the cake, i transposed the directions for sugar and baking powder - 2 cups of sugar bacame 2 cups of baking powder and a tablespoon of baking pwder bacame a tablespoon of sugar.. i mixed the ingredients and sat down to finish watching the game as the ckae baked.
after about 15 minutes there was a huge explosion in the kitchen, the entire oven door had blown off and there was cake batter over the whole kitchen.. needless to say the dinner was ruined.. no thanksgiving dinner for us that year.. second story, not to be outdone, last year my daughter 20 years old was in charge of making the turkey for thanksgiving.
