That is a huge happiness for Christie to contact you. Connections matter. They matter.
Thanks for all your efforts, Terry, trying to help bridge our broken connections with ourselves and others.

Material such as the film at the end of this years convention confirms that I was right to take my kids out the religion
by jambon1 init’s quite affirming to see the horrific material that they’re serving up at the convention this year.
aside from blatant homophobia, the scenes at the end of the convention that are discussed on another thread stoop to new levels of fear mongering.
it seems to occur to nobody inside the organisation that this kind of material could trigger fear, deprsssion, anxiety, stress.

The message is, you better obey us in every small aspect of your life, including leisure time at the cinema, or who knows what will happen to you.
Exactly. Their criminal destruction of normal perceptions of reality is made plain in this film.

Thanks, jambon,
It’s good to know what we’re up against. I couldn’t understand the audio- but that wasn’t what this was about. Imagery was incredibly powerful. For a change the WT understated instead of sledgehammered until the end when raw Armageddon narrative opened in the brilliant heavens.
I admit that this film might have shattered me at a certain point when I was leaving. Seeing these actors play out moments that trigger memory of hard choices-hard struggles-you made to get to a meeting to go out ministry. (And now l don’t?—omg- am l a faithless coward?)
I had to quickly go through my mental file of how certain CERTAIN I am that this religion is distructive of our free will and destroys love and life when it can.
I realign myself. l recognize the men masked with the balaclavas and menacing with guns —they are the Governing Body. They are the dark ones who subverted, who harassed these people, who skinned and abused these people.
If there if there is a moment when the forces of Good come to save the Great Crowd, the surprise will come when the masks get pulled from those guys—the creeps are the GB & Co.
O come Lord Jesus!

Neanderthals - Meet Your Ancestors
by Earnest intonight (sunday, 13th may) at 20:00 on bbc 2 ... for neanderthal believers, agnostics and deniers.. this first programme in a two-part series investigates what neanderthals looked like and and how they lived in their ice age world.
it turns out that almost everything we thought we knew about them is wrong.
they weren't hunched, grunting, knuckle-dragging ape-men at all.

Scary Effectiveness of Assembly Videos
by Captain Schmideo2 inwell, i got to see the final day of this years regional convention.and i saw something that disturbs me.. the final, "summing up review" video.
it disturbs me because it was so well done.
(i wish i could remember the title of the song), to the strains of a solo vocalist singing in a fine "irish tenor", we see the actors from the previous videos of the last few days all assembling together in a clearing.

4. Figure our why kids want to go to school and Murder their classmates. This has been going on for 20 years. What has happened in the past 20 years that started this? Why was this not happening since 1999?
Every thing you said rings true, truth_b_known. But l highlighted the last part because l think it is the biggest problem of all.

Foetus baptism
by Fay Dehr infoetus baptism - surely coming to a watchtower study article soon?
jw parents are reminded of 2 ti.3:14,14 "from infancy you have known the holy writings".
and the watchtower explains the greek word bre'phos "infancy" as follows: "...it is generally used of an unborn child.

Misogynist? You‘ll like this. Man hater? You’ll like this. Or maybe you just love W.C.Fields humor.

TD- Mae West and Fields were volatile — l read there was no love lost between them. But the tiny tough woman at the bar was Faye (Kelly)Adler.
There is equal opportunity here for irreverent humor. I love it.
edit: Oddly it was your remark on a different thread that reminded me of this clip : you asked was it Barbour or Russell and who originated some point of chronology?
The film, sheriff Fields: “Well, l started kicking her first.”
