Consider the following: The Blues Brothers We’re On a Mission from God Highlander There Can Be Only One Kingdom of Heaven God Wills It The Matrix Choose the Blue Pill or the Red Pill Star Trek: First Contact Resistance is Futile The Terminator I’ll Be Back Underdog There’s No Need to Fear, Underdog is Here The X Files The Truth is Out There As my children (now in their mid 20s and early 30s) were growing up, we watched a lot of movies together. I began to notice that one way they and their friends could share experiences with one another was to say “It was sort of like that scene in the movie, …” Somehow, in sharing experiences with one another by relating them to a scene from a movie, they were able to connect via a “conversation with the culture.” I thought about that, and how I might use this understanding to communicate the truth of the Scripture to them. You see, I had glimpsed something that, a few years later, was expressed by the character, Anna, in the movie I AM LEGEND: If We Listen, We Can Hear God’s Plan It dawned on me that in our fractured, multicultural nation, we are losing a sense of who we, as a people, are. In the midst of an increasing mixture of values and beliefs in what many have called a “post modern” world, the stories reflected in the movies and TV shows provide an important source of common reference. And so, back around 2005, as a way to communicate the relevance of God’s word to an American culture that is increasingly turning away from the church - yet is hungry for spiritual truth - I decided to launch a newsletter called Conversations with the Culture. www.wisejargon.com 5 Discovering Truth at the Movies At first done on a “hit and miss” basis, I’ve developed it into a monthly newsletter. Using the themes of modern movies and TV shows, Conversations with the Culture seeks to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with people in search of an answer to the question, “What is Truth”? The concept is a simple one. Using key ideas/themes/scenes from a variety of movies and TV shows, I have chosen to base short bible studies and my personal reflections regarding societal trends on these key ideas. One of the fun parts of writing the newsletter has been to identify a picture from a movie or TV show and then, either using a key phrase or idea from the movie, craft a brief statement that provides a set of “book ends” to bracket the picture. Because I am sharing the pictures in this way, the newsletter, and this e-book, are free. I have gone through 50 past newsletters to compile them here in “Discovering Truth at the Movies.” It is my prayer that you will find at least one that speaks to you, and that in turn you might spark a “Conversation with the Culture” about the truth of God’s word among your circle of friends and family. If you’d like, please consider signing up to receive the newsletter. It’s free, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

    Spirit Breaking: Uyghur Dispossession, Culture Work and Terror Capitalism in a Chinese Global City Darren T. Byler A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Sasha Su-Ling Welland, Chair Ann Anagnost Stevan Harrell Danny Hoffman Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology ©Copyright 2018 Darren T. Byler University of Washington Abstract Spirit Breaking: Uyghur Dispossession, Culture Work and Terror Capitalism in a Chinese Global City Darren T. Byler Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sasha Su-Ling Welland, Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies This study argues that Uyghurs, a Turkic-Muslim group in contemporary Northwest China, and the city of Ürümchi have become the object of what the study names “terror capitalism.” This argument is supported by evidence of both the way state-directed economic investment and security infrastructures (pass-book systems, webs of technological surveillance, urban cleansing processes and mass internment camps) have shaped self-representation among Uyghur migrants and Han settlers in the city. It analyzes these human engineering and urban planning projects and the way their effects are contested in new media, film, television, photography and literature. It finds that this form of capitalist production utilizes the discourse of terror to justify state investment in a wide array of policing and social engineering systems that employs millions of state security workers. The project also presents a theoretical model for understanding how Uyghurs use cultural production to both build and refuse the development of this new economic formation and accompanying forms of gendered, ethno-racial violence.

  • Key Scriptures: Revelation 19:1-21 Ezekiel 38 & 39 Joel 2:1-11
    God's Master Plan In Prophecy Lesson 13 – The Battle of Armageddon & 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ Key Scriptures: Revelation 19:1-21 Ezekiel 38 & 39 Joel 2:1-11 Zechariah 12-14 Introduction Rev 19:1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; While the Wrath of God is being poured out, there was the voice of "a great multitude in heaven" praising God! This is the redeemed church which has missed the Wrath of God and was taken out of Great Tribulation. While the earth is experiencing the judgment of God without mercy, we are experiencing His goodness without judgment! Rev 19:2-3 BECAUSE HIS JUDGMENTS ARE TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and HE HAS AVENGED THE BLOOD OF HIS BOND-SERVANTS ON HER." 3 And a second time they said, "Hallelujah! HER SMOKE RISES UP FOREVER AND EVER." From what is being said in these verse, it is obvious that the church will be fully aware of what is happening upon the earth during this time, yet because we are no longer viewing earth's events through the eyes of mortal flesh, we will understand that God is righteous and true in His judgments. To modern minds it may seem strange to worship and say, “hallelujah” over the fact that God is pouring out judgment, but that is because we see imperfectly now.
