  Why I HATE the WTS

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as a baby-boomer, i went through the pre-1975 bs without giving it any credence.. even as a youngster, my mind said: "if jesus said that no man knows the day or hour, then why the h is everyone saying that a is coming in oct.

  " and i left as a teen.. for whatever insane reason, i was convinced to return a number of years later, and sadly, got dunked.. major faux pas.. in previous posts, i have mentioned my endearing love of great rock (god bless rock and roll), esp.

  my teen faves bto, etc.. attending this concert ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yukhsmphvvo ) and watching fred turner's fingers drive me crazy, as one of my children has music in his soul and the fingers of a protege.. i hate that this cult destroys the orgasmic satisfaction that comes from the giving and receiving of pleasure from each others' developed or natural talents or gifts.. god bless rock and roll.. .

  MAJOR FAUX PAS.

  2. beliefs

  on page 17 of the august 15, 1991 watchtower it says: .

  "in the year 1919... [the society ] came out of satans organization.... ".

  these are amazing admissions.

  I would argue, then, that Jesus should have chosen the Anabaptists, and particularly, the Mennonites.

  The Mennonites, Hutterites, and Amish, scrupulously followed the Bible, diligently kept themselves separate from the world (most even living in religio colonies), AND WERE ARDENT PACIFISTS DURING "THE GREAT WAR."

  Mennonites today practice more of an "orphans and widows" Christianity then any other religion.

  My Children book reads a bit differently, and is on page 313, but the same ideas.

  J. F. Rutherford is one of the greatest charlatans of all time.

  Yesterdays (Wed)meeting

  by zebagain in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife as a side comment to a harmless convo said that the meeting last night left her so hyped up (as in out of the ordinary) she couldn't sleep.

  i would not have known as we sleep by her choice in separate rooms.

  she is an 'inanimated' person so for her to say this meant something.

  "Interview an experienced publisher or parent who can explain how he or she helped a Bible student or a child make spiritual progress."

  Curious that the experience was at least 10 years old. ???

  Okay.

  I am forcing myself to listen to the phone hook-up of the service meeting.

  Did not listen to the book study or the review.

  The service meeting is:

  - Progressively Teach “Good Things” to Bible Students and Believing Children.

  - Share ‘Good Things’ by Being Hospitable

  What is the excitement?

  New layout feels very chaotic

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i don't really know how to describe the feeling but i'll give examples, but the new layout to me makes it feel tiring being on for too long.

  1. there is the top menu, then a big add between that and the next part, a big ad between the bottom and where you reply, then on the right column you either have 2 ads on top or some type of summary, then ad, then either related posts or other areas.

  there are no borders, the adds have the same color and text type but larger font, and it all seems chaotically merged into one thing where you need to constantly sort out what you are viewing.

  First off, as I posted a while back, I do not understand why you simply do not use v-bulletin. It's only about $15. per month, and is crazy-user friendly, and user- familiar. (eg. http://forum.calgarypuck.com/forumdisplay.php?f=34 )
  

  That being said:
  

  
  

  3 suggestions that I would make so far are:

  1. Having only the first 3 lines of each particular post displayed, with a "Read More" link to go to that post, as well as a rollover feature that displays the full text of that post.

  2. The " >> " on most, if not all, forums and searchable sites means "go the last page. (The " > " means go the next page.)

  (check page bar  http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=100481&page=340   )

  
  

  3. When submitting a post, most have the Save or Post button to the left, and the Cancel button to the right. (I have already cancelled posts instinctively.)
