Since i was a child i was always had a problem between fantasy and reality. This problem becomes bigger every time i watch a film . For me it's like magic i really can't describe this . It's like living a thousand of lives . You know i have a weird personality . I have a lot of different sides . I always create art i paint , i sing , i write.But every time one of my sides doesn't covered .But with acting . Oh god i can be everything , i can be free . I can make my fantasy reality. Some months before i was thinking how much i hate actors . Because they make me cry and laugh and fall in love with them but this isn't true . And then i realize how amazing is this feeling . To make people feel . Love , hate , happiness . Just feelings . And i start thinking how much i want to be into this industry and create with no limits . But i don't like fame and i said that is better stay in my country and create here little stuffs . But i can't because i live in Greece . You know i don't know what media tells you but in tv we don't make series anymore . We buy turkish serials . And i really don't like acting in theater . You know if you are in a movie and you play the pilot you are into an airplane but in theater you just sitting in a chair . It's not the same . I can't see the theater with the same way that i saw the cinema . And let's see know i wanna move to L.A and become an actor . Oh god it sounds so easy . But you know there are a thousand people out there . I am feeling like an idiot sometimes . Also i don't like L.A i prefer live in Manhattan . Anyway i don't wanna stay in Greece or in Europe . Beautiful beaches , great food , friendly people but not good place for artists . The right place to create art it's America . God bless America ! But you know are those the right reasons to become an actor ? Also sometimes since i was 5 years old or maybe younger i always giving myself a role and i start talking and playing alone . Ok maybe i am craze but i really must to know if that helps . Hahah . Anyway can you answer me please..

They're really not good reasons, I'm afraid. The things you seem to love make you a great viewer, someone who really loves to watch movies, but not like one who acts in them.
Actors can't just 'be anything'. They have to accept almost any role they get offered, and those roles can be anything - even very boring characters, dead bodies, servants, old ladies - every type you see on TV, in movies and in theatre. Very few actors have the luxury of choosing!
Real actors start out in theatre for several reasons: 1) because almost all training is done for the stage - it's how they learn all the really important stuff, 2) how they gain experience, how they build up a great resume/CV, 3) how they get noticed by a good agent,
and often they decide to stay acting in theatre because it's much more fun that acting to camera, which is very repetitive, often boring and far less exciting.
Becoming an actor is anything but easy! There are not a thousands people out there - there are hundreds of thousands. It takes many years of training at a good acting school, more years getting experience, extra classes to learn singing and dancing, and even after all that, the average drama school graduate never gets more than 2 or 3 weeks paid acting work a year. The rest of the time they all work at least one 'ordinary' job just to afford to live.
Unless you're determined enough to devote the next ten years of your life to getting all that training and experience, you'd do better to just enjoy the movies!

How do Westboro Baptist Church members justify their embrace and utilization of goods and technology?
Clyde
Most of us dislike their approach in preaching their beliefs. However, let's say, theoretically, that what they say in interviews and demonstrations is true. I am curious as to how they would respond to a question about their use of the latest technology (Twitter, iPhones [some have them in demonstration footage]), their clothing (name brand [Nike], other textiles produced in mass quantity in China, sunglasses clearly not hand made), other tools they use to highlight their beliefs (Photoshop, Windows) and their own personal luxuries (leather couches, new appliances, entertainment centers with surround sound and flat screen televisions). I am not being facetious, but truly interested in what the online community thinks they would justify these utilizations.
They preach that their intent is to make all aware of God's will, and that if we are not showing others the way, we are enabling 'f**s' and the destruction of our own world. BUT, if they are contributing to this 'enabling' society through purchasing and utilizing all of the means listed above, are they not, themselves, enabling the enablers?
I, most likely, similar to many of you have spent some time researching the WBC and watching interviews and no one, not even Brick Stone as far as I can tell, brings up these seemingly obvious questions. There seems to be some serious double-standards occurring here.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance...
For instance, just now I watched a clip of Brick Stone interviewing Steve Drain in February of this year, and Mr. Drain is wearing an Under Armour brand jacket. Under Armour, like most widespread, successful companies, has a non-discrimination policy. So, by purchasing these garments (and promoting them by wearing them) are they not supporting companies whose ideologies are in complete contrast to their own?
Answer
Not that I agree with WBC and how they do things, nowhere in the Bible does it forbid Christians to wear clothes that are of a brand name. The Bible basically just said to dress modestly...so whether the brand be Nike, Under Armor, etc... it's not forbidden.
As far as technology goes, the church utilizes those things to operate in today's world. Those things were created by humans to enhance life. They are not by themselves wrong, but the use of them that can be wrong. If you read the Bible, people back then were fishermen, carpenters, builders, clothing makers, shipbuilders, etc... They made stuff that helped people function in the world. "We are all sinners and come short of the glory of God" was as true then as it is now. Not every shipbuilder was a follower of Jesus, or lived a life that went along with the Gospel, but their boats were still used by the disciples to fish and travel from place to place.
Christians today are businessman, carpenters, mechanics, electricians, etc... and "We are all sinners..." still applies - christian or not. Whether or not the Christian does research or is enlightened by the brand name's company that may or may not agree or go against the policies of their church - and how they feel they should react - is between them and God. But nowhere in the Bible does it forbid the use of these things.
FYI, when you read the Bible it may seem as though it's full of conflicts, but that's because there are different "dispensations" (periods of time in English, or "ages"). The Old Testament, for example, was basically the dispensation of Law. Simply put - The people had to follow all the laws, or they were condemned. There was only one way to get out of or make right your sins, and that was to sacrifice a "clean" animal, such as a sheep. That animal's blood was put on the alter and burned. The sacrifice of the animal's blood caused God to forgive that person's sin -- but it only lasted a limited time.People had to sacrifice animals on the alter all the time to cover their since.
Today, we are in the dispensation, or age of Grace - why? Because God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for all of our sins. He is an everlasting sacrifice. His blood was shed to eternally cover all of our sins. So, we don't need to follow the law like the people in the Old Testament did. "Everything is permissible, but everything is not beneficial" according 1 Corinthians 10:23. so it is not wrong for a Christian to wear Under Armor, or use an iPhone. Now, if a Christian beat up an old lady and stole that iPhone, that's not beneficial....and is against what God would want them to do. But all they have to do is ask God's forgiveness, turn from that sin of stealing and beating up old ladies, and make things right with the old lady by apologizing....and God forgives them and restores them.
This is a simple explanation of what I'm talking about: http://www.matthiasmedia.com.au/2wtl/2wtlonline.html
Again, I am not a Fundamentalist like the WBC people. I am a Christian, but I don't agree with their practices of marching at funerals, being legalistic and downright hateful. But this particular thing that you're talking about is not wrong, so I wanted to explain why. Christians are taught to live as Christ did....loving, ministering, healing, praying for, and encouraging people - which is what I believe.
Hope this explained things.
