Who can I contact to have an old forum post removed?

by tsunami_rid3r in

i'm not able to find a list of moderators.

from browsing the forum news & announcements section, it appeared to me that the user, simon, is either the admin of this website or a forum moderator.. i sent simon a message 2 days ago and did not receive a response and the forum post in question has not been removed.

then i sent simon another message 8 hours ago and did not receive a response and the forum post in question has not been removed.. who else can i contact to have an old embarrassing 11 year old forum post removed?.

I have realised that our presence here is a privilege, and that the history of our posts shows the journey we have travelled.

Yes, some things from the past might be embarrassing or no longer in line with how we feel now, but that reflects the journey of life....At one point I also was keen to have my history here wiped...until I realised that was not really possible. Embrace your past. It makes you who you are today.

As Blondie said, the reality is, no one would even notice such an old post....until you now bring attention to it.

Does anyone else squirm uncomfortably in disbelief?

by stuckinarut2 in

as we know, every month on the "official broadcasting" presentation, a new "music video" is presented.. can these possibly be any more cringe-worthy??.

the words, music, singing are so, so bad....i mean, so bad!.

surely witnesses are not so stupid that they don't harbor secret feelings of awkwardness when they see these?.

You can find them on Youtube if you don't want to go to the official site.

Just google JWBroadcasting music videos... (unless you just have eaten)

WT Study - 28th Aug 2016 - “Do Not Let the Faults of Others Stumble You”

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

in paragraph 2 of this study, the gbojw evidences once again that they are sticking to the absurd 1914 doctrine – “when the last days of the present system began...”.

i noted that as 2014 approached, the gbojw became somewhat reticent about making reference to revelation 12:12 – the “short period of time” scripture.

so this study is the first one in a long time in which both the 1914 doctrine and revelation 12:12 are mentioned in the same study.

The "crazy" just keeps getting Crazier!

And, Yes, to summarize the societies thoughts: "everything is YOUR fault" (even victims of abuse)

Generation expiry date?

by pleaseresearch in

how long will it take for a jw to see that even the overlapping generation is wrong?.

the org waited and waited to see if their interpretation of it came true.

those alive in 1914 would still be alive obviously it didn't and jws have to believe in an overlapping generation.

As has been said before:

Jesus was only speaking TO HIS FOLLOWERS IN HIS DAY!

There is no future application...so its all a moot point.

What has been the responses from those still in?

Of course, everyone is SUPPOSED to gush and say only favourable things about everything the society produces...but what about their real thoughts?

Is this the last chance for inactive and df'd ones?

by innerpeace in

hi all, just wondering if there's anything going around about the elders receiving instruction from the society to give inactive ones and disfellowshipped ones one last chance to come back?

i ask because i have a still in family member that i received a message from, and urging me to go back.

the elders are apparently saying there is no time left.

Convention(al) Wisdom

by darkspilver in

jw
friends

conventions satisfy a basic human urge: the longing for belonging.. at conventions, people who share similar interests - even obsessions - come together to bond and to be themselves.. the outside world doesn't matter.

in fact, for the weekend duration of most conventions, the outside world doesn't even exist.. the conventioneers have each other and that's all they need.. http://conventionalwisdom.com.

the mermaid convention.

Humans have a basic need to "belong" and to be a part of something bigger than themselves alone...

stuckinarut2

Yes, because the very notion of spending time on a boat, "enjoying the wonders of creation" cant possibly bring one closer to "the creator Jehovah" now can it??

What if the sailboat is used to preach to people on islands?

Or what if the sailboat is used to enjoy an afternoon of spiritual refreshment with the friends, after first preaching all morning, and then sitting on the deck studying the latest articles from the Faithful and Discreet Slave?
