Hey, Shine,
Glad to hear from you - didn't say we were right - that would have confirmed I was either a Catholic or a JW.
If we thought we were right, we probably wouldn't be posting in this room - we'd post at the "official" site. We just regular people here.
Good to meet you.
please go to the section under literature & reading for a pleasure.. normally, i don't like poetry - yet printed these out because of their beauty and softness.. thank you, frenchy, for sharing your art with us.

okay, one more time and then i'm outta here!
(hey you're supposed to say something!).
rain.
Your poetry is quite lovely. And that's quite a complement coming from me 'cause I've never liked poetry - it takes too much thinking to understand it.
I would assume it takes a lot more to actually envision it.
Thank you for sharing your visions.
have you ever longed for something so much that you dared not reach for it lest you realize that it was unattainable?
for as long as you did not actually reach out for it you could always delude yourself into believing that if you really wanted to you could have it.
but once you reached for it and found it unattainable, well then you would lose that precious fantasy.
I'm spellbound into silence at your words. Thank you for sharing. I have printed it so I can read it again, and again.
My daughter saw it and said it sucked big time.
No plot.
The kid who does our electronics in our store saw it and thought it was fantastic - sound wise. We don't agree much - so I'm going with my daughter's opinion.

understanding the importance of blood and the disciple making work of jehovah's witnesses.. .
understanding involves a depth of knowledge and a comprehension of its application and implications to the subject at hand.. .
Hey, 7,
I missed this movie too, but it sure looks interesting. Probably would have read it sooner if I'd found it.
I've used the Knowledge book to study with people before. Felix made some good points that I obviously never thought about.
A person is to "studied" with for approx. 6 months and should have all the fundamental truths of the Watchtower & Bible necessary for baptism to Jehovah and into Watchtower Organization.
The Knowledge book only gives two paragraphs to the issue of blood - mighty small if you or yours needs it and you have to explain why you won't use it.
Also, the Knowledge book acknowledge that after baptism, the new convert will need much encouragment to grow within the Organization, to make him "stable." The point being well taken, shouldn't have this been done BEFORE baptism. Guess not, according to the Watchtower.
it's r rated and rough in the beginning.
dark humor usually appeals to me, however.. i rented this long before i discovered the web, so i wasn't influenced by my computer.. i swear one of the movie writers had to be an xjw.
notice that when gibson goes against organized crime - their headquarters is in a big beautiful, out of place hotel.

The security people are polite and keep everyone out. No one is really at "the buck stops here" position - and no one takes responsibility and you're shuffled forever.
My husband and I have been in an identical position with the Service Depart. and Legal Dept. with the same result from Organiation. However, we just didn't kill anyone. Darn.
A dark humorous parody of the Watchtower, in my opinion.
on h20, someone commented on this movie as an insight on how we, as jw's look at the world and the problems of trying to change that looking.. i had seen the movie last year - i thought it was going to be a comedy - it wasn't.
but i didn't tie anything to it.
naturally, i didn't apply it to myself.. but this guy is right - i'm going to watch it again.

But this guy is right - I'm going to watch it again. Once you start to see the world in color - it's really hard, if not impossible to go back to regimented black and white.
i've picked up a little about each of us on the db, but we're a reclusive little group, aren't we?.
well, my picture won't be going up any time soon, but i'll put out some personal information and hopefully others will too.
makes chatting more fun, don't you think?.
This is really great - glad to meet y'all!
SC - What kind of turtle (and how big) gets that old? You're really going to have to tell us more about those turtles of yours.
I've always felt that animals were an important part of being alive, I don't believe I've ever been without one. They like you no matter what - well, I don't know about turtles.
sorry no scriptures are quoted, i'm at work - but for all you that are diligent, i'm the owner and i can be on the web when i feel like it!.
i have been reading, a lot.
again, why do we pray through jesus, if he is not our mediator?
Redhorse - you are so evil - and enjoy it so much!!
I believe the Society is trying to cut the tongues of any person questioning them - look at our new articles.
And keeping their followers deaf, dumb and blind.
Go to the new post and tell us about your horse and you......
