  Ok, fakesmile, now on that I actually opened my eyes too soon. I caught that. I hate seeing violence and death but lots of excellent movies are full of that. Like one of my fave movies is No Country for Old Men. I managed to not see one person get killed (my first watching) with that crazy gun Chigurh made. So my dad bet me that I would get up and leave Django within 20 min.

  I won. But I did see lots of blood splattered on the walls and the flowers as you mentioned. My husband saw it 1st. He went back with me and warned me pre shooting, and of the mandingo fight and the dog eating scene...

  I could not believe how much blood there was in that movie. I don't even think there is that much blood in the human body, is there? Totally a guy movie, imo. Except for the love story part theme and the humor. I'd never watched a Tarantino movie, but all the guys said it's a wonder everyone wasn't dead by the end of the movie. So I guess the violence of it all was very Tarantino.

  My eyes were closed on all of the violent scenes. So I missed about 1/3 of the movie...lol. Everyone was tense, sad, and laughing at all of the same scenes. And there was no sense of political correctness either. Lots of us were talking about it at the end and were in agreement about the emotion of it.

  The audience in the theater was a mix of colors and ages. Sometimes all of that PC stuff is so silly.

  Yesterday Grandpa died a faithful JW.... or was he.

  yesterday at 3 am my grandfather.. 95 more or less... passed away after a heart attack... i got the call at 8 am.

  so i am the oldest grandson (out of 40) he was faithful, (thats what they want to say) reality is he wasnt, he cursed, he drank, he had plenty of women during his life.. he was an elder at some point and he was ultra good with everyone.

  he had a heart of gold... he treated me as his son, he never cared about my status.

  "I always told him, 'Grandpa, in case I won't see you again it was a pleasure meeting you.'" / "He reminded me constantly that once he looked like me...and that at some point I will look like him."

  Such beautiful words. I love and miss my grandmother more with each passing year.

  Here's a rose for you.

  I felt that the whole world was reading my story. And it felt really freeing to write it.

  I was proud of myself.

  This generation will by now means pass away..."

  i haven't been to a meeting (other than some cousins' weddings) for well over twenty years.

  i've always wondered what the fds was going to do with the "generations" thing once pretty much everybody who had been alive in 1914 is gone.

  i get that they've come up with some "new light" about this topic, but when i ask my mom (who's still in) i only get "well, the new understanding is complicated...".

  Absolutely nothing puts me in a worse mood than this generation bs.

  It is the most asinine cult teaching on planet earth.

  No mention of how nasty they can be when you no longer believe exactly as they tell you.

  Also, it's a lie that you won't find help outside of the org during times of crisis. Such BS!

  LOL Chaserious.

  Notjustyet, it really does sound as if he said circus overseer. rofl

  Watchtower is a joke.

  That comment is for the JWs because surely no one else cares that there were 2 JW kids in the building who were unharmed.

  What rumors have you heard about yourself since leaving?

  good morning all,.

  i have had the opportunity over the last couple of years to speak with a couple of jw's who had either attended the same congregation i did or were married to someone who to the same one.

  for the record, i disassociated myself in 1992 due to being followed around by an elder or two who had heard that i had ray franz's "crisis of conscience" in my possession.

  We're isolating ourselves. (I guess we are isolating ourselves form the JWs, so that's true)

  I got tired of the friends in the congregation. (yes that's true also)

  If you see us out and about we act like nothing's wrong. (yes again, you idiots, because there is nothing wrong)

  We would love for the gossip to get really juicy. But so far, nothing scandalous. Still waiting.....
