Yeah the part in "The Pianist" that got to me was the lady who tried to keep her baby quiet. Just awful.

What's the saddest movie you've ever seen?
by JimmyPage ini'm asking because i just watched "the road".
it may not be the saddest but it's up there.
"my sister's keeper" was a real tearjerker too..

Creepy Talks
by d indo any of you remeber any talks that were creepy in nature.for example i remember a talk where a brother said "when the end comes your friends and family will be against you" now if that is not crazy i don't know what is.i remember alot of talks regarding bible prophecy and the end times.all of this did not help reinforce the sense of fear since it was 2007-2008 and the united states was going through a recession.this just proved to be fuel for their talks.give good experiences of any talks that you have had that proved to be either weird or very creepy..

CO Randy Letcher's "Flight From Pella" talk was certainly designed to ratchet up the fear and paranoia to get you to follow the GB.

Were You Happy That Jack Barr Of The GB Died?
by minimus ini read that some are quite happy that another gb bites the dust.. i think of my "faithful" elderly jw mother who helped many many families come into the "truth".
she's an intelligent woman.
however, she's blinded by her beliefs (being in a cult).

I once heard a talk that was the exact opposite of what Jesus taught about the Good Samaritan. It was saying how we shouldn't help "worldly" people in need because they don't share our faith. My sister-in-law said the speaker was whacked in the head. His congregation really had no business sending him out anywhere to give talks (not that any JW is qualified LOL).

I've said it before but it's worth repeating: this book is a must-read!
Kyria's book was good, but there were complaints on this board that she fit the negative stereotype of what JWs say will happen to you if you leave the WT.
The fact that Tony's book points the way to "Crisis" is very important for young JW readers, too.
But I don't mean to slag on Kyria because the fact that both of these books are out there at all is huge for youngsters growing up in this cult.
I've been debating whether to donate my copies to the high school library to help out the JWs who go there or keep them for my kids.
Oh, and yes, I don't really care for the title, either.

Zen Living Part Fifteen (summarized): Zen and the Family
by JimmyPage ina zen approach to family means remembering you can't control what your family members do or say- no matter how much you want to try!.
a zen approach to parenting means being present for your children rather than letting worries and anxieties consume your energy.. the daily practice of zazen will help you maintain a clear head so you can best keep your family running smoothly.. kids who practice a zen attitude can learn to be present with their families and even communicate more effectively with their parents.. adult children of aging parents can learn to recognize and experience mixed emotions of love, compassion, resentment, and fear as their own parents age and require more care..

Yeah, I suppose so. Which makes me love Zen all the more, because it truly does help you make your peace with all the crazy changes life continues to throw at you.

The Powerful Trend No One Comments On
by metatron ini happen to work with a number of 20 - 30 year olds and i am stunned by the overwhelming social/tech trend that has emerged among them:.
the obsessive - minute to minute use of electronic devices (i. e. 'smartphones, i phones, and the like').
these people are so intensely addicted that they can't stay away for more than a few minutes and keep using them during critical functions at work.

I see addicts like this at my place of work and it annoys the crap out of me.
