My favourite female protagonists: Ellen Ripley
by LoveUniHateExams inand my next favourite female protagonist is ellen ripley, played by sigourney weaver.. ripley only just survived in ridley scott's alien (1979).. the sequel, james cameron's aliens (1986), was mostly about ripley overcoming her trauma from the first film.. she also ends up seriously kicking ass.. ripley is probably my favourite protagonist of all time.. the following clip is lovely.
newt calls her mommy 🥰.

James 1:27, Widows, Orphans, Religion - Worship
by berrygerry inwhat bothered me in the past few years prior to departure was the lack of caring for widows and orphans.. two days ago, i discovered that james 1:27 uses the word religion - even though the reference bible has it as a footnote, as does the gray bible.. there was a study article in 1991 which boasts that the nwt is consistent in translating threskeia all 4 times as "form of worship," whereas other translations also use "worship" at col. 2:18.
(check the context and greek - nwt is quite off.).
the article does not refer one to vine's, which is usually the go-to reference book.

What's in your future? A miserable old age? Something for JWs to think about?
by fulltimestudent induring the second half of the twentieth century, retirees generally found that they could afford a reasonable standard of living.
all except mugs like me who had an implicit belief in the biblical promises highlighted in the watchtower.
i'm not complaining about my lot, i take personal responsibility for my decisions to believe the rubbish in the bible, and by keeping on working during what would normally be retirement years i live ok. but it's no thanks at all to the yahweh/jesus combo god who filled my head with a pack of lies.. so what about witnesses these days?

by blondie ini thought i would never do this again, but a comment on this article made to look it up.
not much knew but looking back at previous articles, the wts has ramped up on this topic since 2020...i see a correlation there.
it is lengthy so i will split it up in parts.

The handmaid's tale, possible in a jw controlled world?
by purrpurr ini've been watching "the handmaid's tale" and while disturbing i found it to be doubly so because i kept thinking "if the jws ever got control of a country is this what it would look like?
" especially when it comes to the treatment of women as mere property.
