any wordpress gurus here that might be able to help?

i was just updating the libsyn plugin, as libsyn hosts my podcasts, and suddenly there were "internal server errors" and i got the following message:.

fatal error: can't use method return value in write context in /home4/umc/thisjwlife.com/wp-content/plugins/libsyn-podcasting/admin/lib/libsyn/api.php on line 154. can anyone here help?

Thanks Simon. I've had Wordpress sites for a long time without any issue, though none are really that big or involved. I do know that things are really evolving though and it may be antiquated at some point. I've never heard of Jekyll or Hugo but after a quick Google search they look interesting. It sounds like you've really gone deep into these things, or maybe I'm just easy to impress.

Libsyn released an update for their updated plugin for me to try. I guess I'll give it a go and see what happens. If it shuts it down again I know how to fix it with relative ease.

I left the organization

by Issa in

i left the organization.

my awakening was this month of july, the first week of july.

i couldn't answer my own questions about the organization or the doctrines, i couldn't understand the prophecies, i couldn't figure quite well what i was feeling.

Awesome, though I'm sorry. We disasaociated and it was so freeing. Just realize that you can't un-ring that bell, so look at your circimstanes and see what is right for you. If you have no family in, and want to do it, blow it up. If you have family, don't be impulsive. Just make sure you know what you're doing. I personally wish more would take a stand and disassociate and make the membership feel that discomfort, but realize most won't. We intended to fade but refused to play their games.

I thought it was pretty clear that the woman was dfed for leaving an abusive relationship, which happens. I also thought it was clear that the guy was dfed for more than missing a Memorial, but because he questioned the faith and his wife turned him in. I liked the article. I realize that JWs will minimize things, but they always do that.

You're certainly welcome! Hopefully I'll be updating that journey again this Sunday with a new episode.

@stuckinarut2 - If the holy spirit was messing with me, then does that make jw07 Satan the Devil since he helped me get things working again? Lol.

The good news was that no matter what happened the podcast was still live on places like iTunes and Google Play or wherever you get podcasts, you just wouldn't be able to stream online from my site. So it was a minor matter, though when I went to my website and it said "fatal error" with a stream of code and I couldn't see anything I did kind of panic, lol. I've never had an issue like that from a simple plugin update before. I had a hunch that I could go in the back way through the cpanel and erase the plugin though, and that worked. Now I have an older version of the plugin instead of the newest update and it is working fine again.

This whole thing has definitely been a learning process.

@jw07 - THANK YOU! I didn't know you could find the previous versions so easily. I went back two versions just for good measure. All I did was download the zip file for the plugin and upload it to my site and boom, all of the shortcodes are now back to being players for each episode again. If I had known last night it would be so easy I would have hopped on it then. I knew it was just shortcodes showing and put a note up about it and contacted Libsyn. I was going to wait on them, but honestly so far I've had a few issues with them. Everything is working now, I just won't update that plugin for a minute.

Whew, deleted the plugin from my cpanel and my site is back. I just don't have the podcast player on my site anymore, but I'll try to find an older edition of the plugin and see if that works. Basically, I just started a thread to talk to myself, lol. I was too freaked out and impatient to wait for actual help.

Can anyone here help? I've never had this happen before.

I can't even reach my website anymore. I'm guessing that maybe I can go into my Hostgator account and find the plugin and delete it, but I kind of use it on the site. So I don't know if there's a way to get in and fix the offending line 154 or if it's a matter of starting over with the plugin, or if I can revert back to before the update.

Episode 7 - Getting Healthy and Waking Up of This JW Life is up now....

by dubstepped in

first i just want to say that i'm up over 5000 downloads now, which is awesome!

i'm hearing from exjws and people with jw family members or friends and people that are just curious.

just 10 days ago the show crossed the 3000 download mark, and it has gone up 2000 in 10 days!

@Phoebe - It is so damaging how they push people to avoid help, and if they must get help, just don't mention the most dysfunctional and abusive thing in your life, them.

I'm glad you like my story. Unfortunately it will end soon, though maybe I'll give updates from time to time. I am trying to research how to interview and record remotely over Skype and such so that I can continue the show in some way. I make no promises, and I totally get not wanting it to go away. I've been disappointed by all of my favorite exjw shows that went away too.

Ran into my brother at a concert; first time I've seen him in years......

by dubstepped in

my wife and i went to a concert on friday night.

there was a friend of ours there doing security, and she happens to be an exjw too.

she sent me a message on messenger to inform me that my brother and his wife were at the show, not knowing that i'd be there too.

@DOC - Lol, it is evident, holy spirit was with me that night at the Bush concert. The only thing is that the holy spirit seems to push me toward atheists and agnostics all the time. But, I must follow it's leading so as not to grieve it terribly.
