  Oh yeah man. I remember the CO coming around ranting about them. He made it pretty fucking clear you shouldn't use social networks.

  12-15-66: investigating house and household objectsone under demon attack should calmly, not in hysteria, investigate his house and household articles.

  MAD MAX FURY ROAD

  by TerryWalstrom in

  i went to see the new mad max movie last night: "fury road.".

  this post-apocalyptic world is not recycled gray, it is blazingly colorful australian desert terrain with wide shots that will stop your heart.have you ever seen an heironymous bosch painting of hell with its where's waldo panoply of brutish, demonic, figures inflicting torments willy-nilly as far as the eye can see?

  well, fury road makes bosch look like a knit-one-purl-two doily maker at a sunday brunch.. director miller has thought about this movie, planned it, sketched it, worked it, perfected it millisecond by millisecond before scene one was ever shot.one second of onscreen activity has more interesting business happening than two hours spent by a voyeur in a nudist colony of playboy bunnies.. what is watching this film all about?

  This movie is rad. Easily the best action movie since Terminator 2.

  I was surprised to see a LOTR comparison. All 6 of those movies are super long and drawn out slog fests broken up by some OK action sequences. Everything in Fury Road is tight and the action sequences are used to tell the story not just to have action for its own sake.

  yeah the remake isn't very good. part of it is because back in the 70's, Manhattan was a total shithole so the dirt and grime really adds to the atmosphere. I love movies that take place in this era because of this.

  When you get time, I'm sure you can find a list of classic American New Wave films. Definitely watch as many of those as you can find.

  Yes Scanners is an amazing movie but please don't watch sequels.

  Phase IV is an interesting if only to see Saul Bass' only feature film.

  The Robert Wise adaptation of Andromeda Strain is pretty good (much better than the recent A&E version)

  Explanation Of New Bible Translation

  by Sofia Lose in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been a little troubled with the explanation on the new world translation given during sunday's meeting.

  the mag read that with less words the understanding would be more clear, and offered examples where certain texts had 27 words and now only have 19 words and the meaning is clearer.

  i am not okay with said explanation.

  It's definitely screwed up. I remember looking down on paraphrased translations because they 'dumbed down' the understanding. Now the NWT has done the same thing and everyone loves it.

  New arrangement from C.O.

  by Doctor Who in

  i think most on here will be familiar with the caller hook up system that many congregations use.

  visit about 2 months ago.

  during our servant and elders meeting he was talking up the importance of meeting attendance and how we "gods spirit appointed men" must take the lead on making every meeting.

  Yeah I saw it around here too. One congregation had probably over half of its publishers listening over the tie-in because of laziness. I went there to give a talk and was surprised at how many people weren't there.

  It started happening in my old hall. People starting listening to the tie-in just because. They eventually changed it so you had to be 'approved' to get the tie-in info. They approved the older sick people, which is fair in my opinion.

  i'm looking at the may 12, 2014 boe that has more info on the change to kh building, and more importantly, congregations forking over money.

  the letter references the march 29, 2014 letter, which i have, but it also references the may 2,2014 letter, which i do not have.

  i have the large pdf mega collection but it's not in there.
