I like a good movie. And I think Breaking Bad was the best thing for TV ever.
I can live without seeing Karate Kid II however.
I've thought I should keep a diary of what I read and watch. If I'm going to spend a couple of hours watching or reading something, I might as well write a few sentences about it.

Last Week I Got A Call From An Elder I Haven't Seen In 20 Years...😳
by minimus inwhile i was at work i got a phone call from an elder i haven't seen in decades!
he started asking me questions about my family, my ex, and told me that he heard i "was no longer in the truth".
i got a little defensive and he quickly picked up on it and assured me his call had nothing to do with checking up on me regarding the religion.

I find it interesting that FDR became a member of the Pythian society while he was president in 1936. And Rutherford detested Roosevelt. I wonder if Rutherford ever made comment on Roosevelt becoming a member. Rutherford was prone to take any action by Roosevelt as proof he was part of some Satanic conpriracy.

What a strange mistake to make. Newspapers often get names wrong. Our local newspaper is famous for it. Barely anyone gets captioned correctly. M But to mistake a prominent person for someone else entirely seems a whopper.

Seems the mistake is in the 1940 census.

No Bourne films? My favourite.
Plus I don't see foreign language films. Trollhunter is a good one. Plus The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. And Pan's Labyrinth.

More to the point it seems to be entirely in character. Young Joseph Rutherford presents as a civically engaged sort of person who was searching around for a role in life. He tried various avenues from education, politics, the law, and ultimately religion. That he should also have explored membership of a society as a means of finding a role, purpose and influence, seems entirely plausible.
