Anyone watched this series?

Is it recommended viewing?

I have heard of this and would really like to hear the considered opinion of someone who has actually watched it.

The boat sank two weeks in at the Strait of Scientology, unfortunately.

How bleak it is that you think this copy and paste from a book somehow compensates for the shallow and regurgitated thing you said about another person's life.

This not a copy and paste. I retyped every word from my own copy of
the New American Standard Bible.

I was just pointing out what the Holy Bible says about what is important
in life. And I don't recall saying the shallow and regurgitated thing you
think I said about another person's life.

let me remind you.

"all he has done is for nothing if he never accepts Jesus (Yahshua) as his lord and savior."

the most ridiculous statement i've read in a long time.

As a Christian I believe I should sound the warning. It doesn't mean
he hasn't done some wonderful things, which he has. But he lacks
one thing and that is to follow Jesus the Christ and accept him as
his Savior. It is a loving thing that I do to call attention to this fact.

Loving? FYI, it comes across as sneering, nihilistic and kind of puffed up but actually desperately insecure. Just so you know. I make this comment in good faith. For you to "call attention to [the] fact" that your spiritual mind map makes you so deeply contemptuous of those who differ from you seems counterproductive to me, You might be harming your cause. Just saying, that's all.

You are probably right. We all need to learn we are not the center of the
universe. I have tried to tone my remarks down, but suddenly it comes
back again and I find myself being sneering, nihilistic and kind of puffed up,
as you say, probably due to my insecurity. One of my many faults I should
overcome. I must remember to do unto others as I would have them do
unto me. Thanks for your criticism.
