David A. Reed, I think had his house staked out I think, if memory served me right when he was publishing his "Comments from the Friends" newsletters/magazines while he was still a member before he got df'ed and mailed them outside of the state to all of the members that was listed in his KH's phone/address book. They busted him coming home. I need to reread his story, but it was interesting.

The Matrix is rated R. They aren't even supposed to be watching it.
A JW would not want to be caught dead coming out of a "R" rated movie in the movie theaters.
Except for movie rentals if the JW is single or the family won't rat on each other.
Oh yeah, DVD ownz!

I too have seen many parallels between the Matrix and the JWs. I'm so glad I'm unplugged - but there is no going back to "ignorance is bliss" now.
The matrix is full of Jesus references too, isn't it?
Thomas Anderson - Doubting Thomas, Son of Man. He doubted he was "the one" at first. Then he was "the one" and in the film was dead for 72 seconds (corresponding to hours) and was resurrected allowing him to save everyone.
Yes, I noticed alot of references to Jesus in comparson to Neo as being The One (And Jesus is referred to being "The One" throughout the New Testament.)
Trinity had the attitude of the Doubting Thomas.She had a hard time believing at first, especially when Neo failed the "Jump Program"
Cypher was referred as Judus/Lucifer, the betrayer. He never believed Neo.
Trinity kissed Neo and he came back to life, only this time he truely believed and was able to control the enviroment around him such as slowing down the bullets and drop to the ground.
Tank I guess was sorta Neo's Holy Spirit, his back up guy to help him out of a jam or do miracles for him via his specialty on computers.
72 seconds does correspond to 3 days, same number of days Jesus was in his grave before his resurrection.
Faith system when Morpheous tells Neo to "Just Believe", Jesus told his disciples if we had faith at the size of the mustard seed, we can move mountains (not really mountains, but a mountain is a symbol of things that hinders us from life or problems that hinders us)
Morpheous was the "Father" to Neo in alot of ways, he never doubted Neo for one second that he was the One except when Neo "died". He was sad just as The Father was sad (it rained the day Christ died on the cross, a symbol of God's tears) but rejoiced when Neo rose from the "dead".
There's all kinds of cool references in the movie that relates to Christainity.
I can't wait to see the second part of the triliogy. w00t

Official- Bethel cutbacks?
by No Apologies inmy wife told me that last night a letter was read from the society, explaining how all printing operations in brooklyn were being moved to either walkill or patterson, and that worldwide there would be consolidation of the printing operations.
i know there have been rumors like this floating around here for the last month or so, but now it seems there is confirmation.
has anyone else heard about this letter being read?

Well, this may be great news for all of us that wants this false profit organization to go out of business.
When I came to these boards like this one, I found out the membership figure is about 6 million worldwide. I am remembering the figure used to be higher back in the late 1980s. Didn't it used to be much higher? like 20 million worldwide?
Has this membership dropped dramically?
I hope the numbers dewindle even more.
I wanna see all of the cults around the world to go outta business, but that's not gonna happen.

good topic!
can you believe there are active JW who watch that movie and don't start to wonder about their believe system?
Dude, you forgot JWs aren't allowed to think (or at least they won't tell you they're thinking it).

Speaking of the red pill.
Which one would you all take? The red pill or the blue pill?
