  Nudity in the movie "Roma"

  by Wonderment in

  in the movie "roma," a man is shown making some martial type moves with a sword totally naked.

  and the scene is not so brief, giving a clear glimpse of his private parts.

  it is a very graphic scene.

  At her most sarcastic my mom referred to the male member as a tallywacker.

  OK, We Need To Talk About The Crazy New Great Tribulation Video...

  if you haven't seen it already, skip to 1:14:30 in lloyds video and watch the craziness unfold.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2y7f7-k5wo.

  i'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.. they're digging themselves a great hole here, in about 30 years time they'll be claiming this video was a mere "speculation" and that "some people" got the wrong ideas..

  Unspeakable arrogance - As Usual

  by Slidin Fast in

  today's wt para 1. if you are a young person, you have likely received much advice about your future.

  teachers, guidance counselors, or others may have encouraged you to pursue higher education and a lucrative career.

  jehovah, however, advises you to take a different course.

  Let's face it, Capone was doing many criminal activities including murder but they got him on tax evasion. The money always trips these idiots up.

  Is The Person Who Helped You “Get Into The Truth” Still Around?

  by minimus in

  i helped, unfortunately, many people to become baptized jws.

  recently, over the last few years, i saw many of my students who were still “ in the truth “ lament that i was no longer associating or active in the faith.. i do feel bad that i did such a good job that most of them still are in the cult.. are your teachers still around or did they wise up and leave the lord’s organization?

  ?.

  Interestingly enough, the people who taught me the religion are both family, elderly and have proven to be mentally ill. Hopefully I got out in time.

  Good strategy?

  by Olig in

  2. experiences

  so obviously the best way to leave properly is fading, that's a given i would have thought?.

  however i'm in a situation where i'm not sure what to do... i've just left home, nobody bar my parents / gparents know my address.

  at my parents request they asked if i would switch my cards over to the closer kingdom hall.

  When off the radar, stay off the radar. Don't talk about it and don't poke the hive by attending.

  Favourite New Film

  by jhine in

  l recently went to watch green book , which l thought was excellent , it had everything , it took me though the whole range of emotions , from anger to joy , laughing then wanting to cry .

  the quiet dignity of dr shirley mixed with volatile nature of tony lipp and seeing their emerging friendship was wonderful .

  what really shook me was that these attitudes existed in my lifetime , not that long ago .

  Read my post again Toby and don't be so lazy. I know of the controversy but the movie is a bio pic which are often full of fiction. It stands alone as a work of art. It has a point and it made it. People were exposed to the Jim Crow south and that's a good thing. It was a very good movie. Of course you could sit and pout that it wasn't perfect. Ok. There's always the Lego movie. There's something for everyone.

  Green book exposed the underbelly of the Trump base, not much change there it seems. Segregation starts in the heart, not the laws. Maybe that's how its propaganda? I didn't see any propaganda though and I don't believe my own opening statement either, lol.

  it's been a long time since i last kept you up to date with leaving process.

  well, i got another teaching job, i started to work in october and my contract will expire in july.

  that's is almost a year of financial security and i have the certainty that i will be called in a different school in september until i eventually get a fixed post - this is how it works in state schools in spain.

  Paradiseseeker; One thing about being a JW, we did things we thought we "Had to do." They weren't what we wanted to do, they were just things we felt an external pressure to do. Don't follow that pattern if you need not. Examine your needs, wants and then follow a practical plan to accomplish them. Don't feel you need to do it any particular way except one that is tailored to your reality. It's your life ya know. Not mom and dad's or the elders or even his majesty the great narcissistic murderer, Jehovah.

  Take a breath, read the suggestions here, then come to your own conclusions. All the best.
