In the spirit of the "hottest" posts list we have now what about a "hot" button option beside the like dislike buttons?

They bought it from christendom and sell it back to christendom it's known as the revolving door of God's real estate business.

Is all this like/dislike shaming really necessary. Humans and monkeys see buttons and they have an irrestible urge to keep pushing them it's as simple as that. You bad bad naughty boys and girls big brother is watching YOU.

Though to be fair I'm sure there must be like/dislike "bombers" that come here just so they can keep pushing those buttons all day long for evil purposes. To you lot.. just ...just....stop it already!

You said it yourself when you asked the question "How could anyone in their right mind think that was an ok thing to do?"

Asleep JWs are not in their "right" mind they are in an indoctrinated mind and they will speak from the script of that indoctrination.

You could try asking him if he will miss hunting in the new world. Drawing attention to percieved negatives as if they are positves can get some people to think. For eg, you could say "wont it be great when there will be no more hunting or guns." If he can admit there will be at least one thing about the new world he won't like he may start thinking a bit deeper about other things. I found just reminding dubs there will be no cafe's and shops really pisses some JWs off and they don't like to think about a world with no retail therapy. Drawing attention to the negatives by describing them as postives can sometimes get people to think.

Woman's Purpose

i'm probably going to say some things here that will disappoint many.

there are some that may look back over the years and say "man i really blew it" i'm not writing the following to scold for failures, but rather to help those who are young enough to put into practice what god wills for their life, and also to those of us who are in our middle years that still have time to change some things, in order to please god and find a peace that only being in his will can bring.

first let me say that god didn't create man for you.

Hottest Topics - New Sort by Rank Option

by Simon in

i have just enabled a new sort feature which should appear as a new tab called "rank" on any of the topic listing pages (by forum or subject within it).. there's also a "hottest" link in the main nav.. what does it do?.

well, think of it like active topics ... the latest things go to the top.

except instead of anyone being able to make something go straight to the top simply by posting on it, now the ranking is based on a combination of things including how many likes and dislikes they have received combined with when the posts were made.. what should happen is that likes for new posts will give them a boost as will replies but over time their effect will diminish.

Oh God, sounds like high school, the hottest, it's so hot right now.

What next the coolest? Lol, there goes free thinking welcome to the consensus trance.

Complaining over post dislikes / downvotes

by Simon in

let's be clear: people have the right to like or dislike what they want - that is why the option is there.

as long as they are not doing it in a malicious way to retaliate or game the system, there is no policing the votes.

if you get a down-vote, live with it.

Is it possible ex-jws are more addicted to positive feedback and sensitive to negative feedback than the average bear?

Being a JW can understandably leave you ultra sensitive to criticism because of our experiences with feeling judged and condemned from family, friends and even people who know nothing about us in the congregation, it can help to remember that. Don't worry about it, there is always something we can learn from others.
