hey guys, so now that i’m pretty much atheist and i’m not scared of demons or supernatural things, or bring them into my house by watching movies or reading books about them lol, i defenitly want to watch a few scary movies.
i’ve always loved scary movies, but as witness, you don’t get to watch many since they need to be pg-13 and have no spiritism in it lol.
does anyone have any suggestions?
This movie isn't new. It doesn't have great special effects although it was probably pretty good for it's time. It does have some nice acting and rewatching it today, made me scared like it did when I was a kid. Mostly because it was filmed a little like film noir.

a bradford man's sex offence against a little girl was kept quiet for 23 years because elders of the jehovah's witnesses church persuaded her parents not to report him, a court was told.. robert lee's crime in the forest of dean was not revealed until the victim had grown up and went to the police, gloucester crown court heard on friday.. .
both the victim's family and lee were jehovah's witnesses at that time, said prosecutor kerry barker.. he told the court that having avoided justice, lee, formerly of coleford, but now of alexandra road, bradford, went on to commit further child sex offences in 2008 and 2016.. lee, who used the surname howarth at that time, admitted indecent assault of the girl in march 1995 in coleford when he was aged just 17.. sentencing lee to two years jail suspended for two years and ordering him to sign the sex offender register for 10 years judge ian lawrie qc said he was 'concerned' at the church's advice to the mother not to report him.. he also placed lee under a 10 year sexual harm prevention order.. “i've raised concerns about how this came to the attention of your church authorities and was not reported.
Those elders and the Watchtower are guilty for what that man did after molesting his first victim. The mother....I'm afraid that my mother would have done the same thing. Believing in the authority of the JW religion... Every time I type believing, I see be lie ving. They be lieing.
okay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.
they reduced printing of mags.
they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.
Island Man - They might it even spin it as a safety precaution - keeping the government in the dark when the great tribulation breaks out. It would give the JW's goosebumps because once again - it's so close!
under "breaking news" on jwdotorg, there is a link to a court case in canada that was just resolved on may 31st.. https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/17101/index.do.
it's in regard to him being disfellowshipped, and the court says they can't get involved.
jwdotorg gives this statement about their victory:.
I hate it when bullies get away with things.
Where's this breaking news on JW.....org?
Breaking News - Millions have now been paid out on Child Sexual Abuse claims! We rejoice over Satan's system of things being more righteous than us!
walked into panda express for lunch the other day and there was a unusually long line.
i notice a large group of folks that had a familiar dress and smile on their faces.
the women dresses below the knees and the men wearing the top of line goodwill special suits.
Haha or you could have picked them up and dropped them into the garbage with an angelic look on your face.

When Anthony got to the part about only having 3 watchtowers a year, it was like he was shocked himself. His brain must have been going back and forth between the idea of what the magazines represented - Jehovah's blessing the org with plenty of spiritual food like has always been touted in the past by the WT - to now we have next to nothing. And he was supposed to make it sound like a blessing?
LoL to the regular Jw it would be. No more bulky mags to haul around and easy to remember whats inside because you only get 3 a year.
i am trying to remember a cover of a wt or awake that had a picture of a priest or maybe even the pope.
i think the issue came out in the height of the catholic sexual abuse cases and being disappointed in your religion or something like that.
i have searched this site and google images but not be using the correct key words.. the reason i am looking for it is because should it come up that jw's are being persecuted due to all the recent publicity i would like to ask a jw if the wt and the mainstream media were 'persecuting' the catholic church when they were uncovering wrongdoing in that religion or any other.
Interesting how they are all orange/brown covers. Is there a color code for subjects in WT land? Orange was used in the fast food business
Orange makes people feel happy and cheerful. It's also excellent for establishments that serve desserts or unhealthy food because it makes people content and less likely to feel guilty for eating poorly.
Haha I liked this explanation the best.
i left the wts in the early 1990's and i was baptised at the same assembly as this elder and his wife in the late 1980's they were probably in their early 50's back then, you know the kind; get called on, become a study and take to life as a jw like a duck takes to water, a dream call for all jw's and we went onto to be good friends with them over the years, the book study was held in their house also, he quietly progressed up the jw ladder became an ms then elder, a few months after i started my fade i saw him one day while i waited for a bus and he acknowledged me i said hi etc and he started a verbal tirade towards me about me knowing its the truth, how close we are living to the end, how stupid i was turning my back on it etc blah blah blah, i couldn't really get a word in edge ways, i bid him good day and that was that, he really was quite angry, i never saw him again until recently over 25 years later when him and his wife and their son were having a meal in my local pub, he was standing at the bar ordering, i saw him acknowledged him said hi and he looked straight through me, he said "do i know you ?
" i replied " hey eddie its jookbeard from the ********** congregation, surely you remember me?
" he said sorry i've never seen you before in my life, his wife came over to help him with his drinks and i said "hey pat, how are you?
There is a Korean proverb - Those that get beaten, remember.
Meaning the one that wields the stick to beat on the other, forgets about it. But the one beaten by the stick, doesn't. So it's very possible he didn't remember it all. Got all his anger out on you, felt justified and satisfied and then forgot about it and you. Proverbial wipe the dust off your feet thing.
Still a sad thing tho.

I get suspicious of any one in a dress on Sunday and Saturday. I go to thrift stores on the weekend and see them looking for cheap deals. In the religious section of the books, there are plenty of "old light" books and black bibles.
I can imagine those sisters where thinking, how someone just might come along and pick up that magazine, read it and come into the truth! They get to have a warm fuzzy feeling and hope they can be on the meeting with their wonderful experience.
disfellowshipped.... a jehovah's witness movie.
enjoy!.

It had a lot of promise but I feel it took too long to sort of get to the point. Ex JW's will get it, but any other person will be lost.
