Yes Ark I, this is why I say I have no time for wasting on this. But then again it's human to feel the need to justify onesefl and so on... and I know Iman shouldn't do that as it only worsens the situation. I should have only taken the contributions to the topic and go on reasoning. So let's do.
I did admit, that I liked the content of the movie. Still sometimes it was just too much of "played" emotions for me... for my personal taste... and so it a bit reminded me on the shiny glossy Watchtower pictures on which all are happy, and all together, and there is nothing bad on this earth...
Furthermore, the Sistren did misunderstand I critic.
I was not speaking against earning money with that movie. If that was the case, I would have spoken against takeing this 10 Dollars something for viewing the movie on their website.
The point I was making was, that TO ME it seems, as if them thought, they need to turn this docu into an expensive hollywood movie, coz otherwise nobody would be interested. I personal just feel that this kind of attention-catching is just cheap and wouldn't be necessary if those people would trust that THEIR KNOWLEDGE alone is revelation enuff for people to listen.
Furthermore it sounded to me as if all these people only used this Secret of the Law of Attraction for gaining material things (most of them).
Maybe I was also biased because I got this movie from my Brother. He is a businessman travelling the world, and though I know he makes his money from good works (he is into healthy nutrition promotion), he always easily gets caught by such "manager - philosophy" .... you know this new age (and I use this term in it's negative, ungrateful sense) for rich people.
And then you have all these rich people in that movie "praying" for more and more wealth.
Nevertheless I found the basic Idea of this Attraction theory quite interesting, but still it is nothing new. And I never stated, that the movie makes it seem as if it was something new... but they make it seem as if it was a SECRET (sorry sister, but even the movie is called like this) .... and YES the movie DOES make it seem, as if this movie only now is the big sensation of revealing the secret, of which only a few know, to the world.
But I see, open up your bible, Yeshuah was teaching this all the time, and no one needs a shiny holywood movie to get the revelation of this.
This is just my opinion.
Selah
