Id probly go Jack the Lad. Nicholson. Hes made lots of outstanding films Like "The Last Detail" early in his career. Gets to play crazy like in "the Shining" and "Cuckoos nest" and played Satan once in "Witches of Eastwick". Definitely Jack .

Road to Perdition
by L_A_Big_Dawg inanyone see this movie?.
curious as to your thoughts.
i think it is a strong contender for "best movie", "best actor" (tom hanks) and "best supporting actor" (paul newman).. this is the best movie i have seen this year.

Bloody movie bored me brain dead. If the liitle fella,Joe Pesci, had been in it he wouldnt have let the camera pan away as he caved their heads in with a baseball bat. It definitely needed Pesci / Deniro to liven it up. Too slow. Too full of its own importance.
I gave it Yawn out of 10

This is a good answer.....
"The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures , "
If we are talking Russell then "The battle of Armaggedon' is probably the dumbest most dull thing he ever put together

1914, how does the Watchtower calculate this ???
by run dont walk inokay i haven't been to a meeting in 15 years and my memory has slipped on this one, so to the best of your knowledge how does the watchtower come up with 1914.. i understand the 607 bce jerusalem thing, (which we know is wrong more like 587/586).
i understand the gentile times / seven times thing that gives you 2520 years ( 7 x 360).
i understand the day for a year calculation.. but the part i don't get is why only 360 days for a year and not 365 or 365.25, you can't calculate only 360 days a year through history because it would throw everything off.. hey maybe the watchtower will get "new light" on this and change it to 365 , it would give them an extra 35 years to work with ????.

Gary. I thought the Old Jewish year was 12 x 30 days making 360 days to a year. Your offering seems much more plausible. Many thanks for the reminder.

When Prophecy Fails - Part 2
by refiners fire inconcluding festingers observations of prophetic disappointment with a flying saucer cult in 1956.
the major period of expectation spanned 4 days, from 17th december when the faithful expected to be airlifted from the back garden to safety by flying saucers thru 21st december when the city and surrounding countryside would be inundated with floodwaters with total devastation the result.
the saucers were predicted to arrive at 4pm on the 17th..nothing happened:

I am pleased that it has affected you in some way. The deep psychology of it, why some people have a desperate need to believe in something, and what makes those people different from others, is a mystery.
As to the "preaching compulsion", that the author points out as the key part of his theory,..as I understand it, this preaching imnpulse only comes about after multiple disappointments because of extreme cognitive dissonance (inner conflict) . It seems that the prophecies become quite onbviously total bullshit in the believers minds, so the only way they can hold their belief intact is thru reinforcement actions (proselytizing) and converting others.
Of course, I became most interested in what Festinger had to say because the JWs launched their grand scale preaching campaign deep in the midst of a string of predictive failures

Risot, Welcome!
by onacruse in.
your post on http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/54534/4.ashx was just too much for me.
i spent about half-an-hour trying to formulate a few comments on your excellent points, but decided that it would be better just to welcome you to our discussions here, and express my hope that you feel comfortable to share more as time goes along.. craig

Yeah Craig. Risot should have started his own thread instead of loozing the post in that "cat" fight. Lol.
Welcome Risot, its a shame that theyve got you held to ransom by your human emotions (their intention of course) ...these buggers will stop at nothing and will stoop to acts even a purse snatcher may consider to be immoral.

Ona. I just had a look at freeminds. I reckon "Rutherfords rainbow" and the 1930s WTs might be a good buy, do you know if they are able to be cut and paste so as to quote from them? Ive got a 1920s CD here but the format doesnt allow cut and paste.
Later dude.

Cruzan: I think Ive said on this forum before that I was involved in something very similar in 1995 and the leader of that group had all his teeth pulled to get rid of the fillings from his mouth. It is very dangerous to enter a craft with any metal on the person.
With regard to Invisible fulfillments, stretched extensions, prefulfilments, compulsion to preach and desperate faith in face of direct proof to the contrary, these are ever recurring scenarios down the eons of human belief. Nothing under the sun is new. I merely seek to demonstrate that dub rationalizations and excuses are the product of well documented human psychology.
