  Site Updates

  by Simon in

  2. announcements

  just a heads-up that i will be testing some updates this evening.. the nature of the changes means it's difficult to test every scenario in advance offline (translation: it's a lot more effort and i just can't be bothered) so i'm going to go with the "wing-it" approach:.

  deploy, check for errors, try to fix errors before anyone else notices them.. i can switch between the new and old version pretty quickly so if there are significant issues, i'll rollback and revert the changes while i work on the fixes.

  worse case is the pages won't display quite right (dates might be a giveaway) but a full page refresh should fix things.. http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.

  Words for the Day; please share

  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  And if you play with yourself before self-marriage, would that be pre-marital sex?
  

  I guess so.

  Actually, you'll definitely be committing adultery if you have sex with anyone who is not yourself. It would be considered extramarital sex.

  HA the good life --Cart witnessing

  on my way home from work today, i saw the modern day pioneers having a grand old time, relaxing in the sun.

  two sprawled on one bench and the other two talking up a storm, with their iced cappuccino, just enjoying the day.

  the two carts were a number of feet away.

  I sometimes see an extra commentary box which has different functions than the one we're using (IE and Firefox). Is there going to be a different commentary box?

  FWIW -- Anonymous suggests North Korea will start WWIII before the end of this year

  by kpop in

  i know most of you don't know what anonymous is or what the real 4chan is, but both are saying that their global meta data is pointing that now with south korean elections going to a pro war candidate (moon, who is a psycho) and china saying there may be no other solution, north korea will strike first before the end of this year.

  japan has called up reserves.

  take it with a grain of salt.

  @kpop. I disagree that North Korea can bring about a nuclear war - I'm assuming between the United States and Russia - since it's only ally, China, has neither the desire nor enough nukes to engage in a meaningful first strike.

  festivals, concerts), there will be admittance controls in stadiums.. - at each entrance, there will be a massive presence of attendants that look at each visitor.. - there will be pocket checks at the entrance.. - suspicious persons are no longer left on the convention grounds.. - suppliers to the stadium will be intensively inspected by attendants.. - there will be a special sign for attendants that must enter the stadium before 7.30 am.

  all others (even all attendants) can only enter after 7.30 am..

  Such security will give them the illusion of persecution. We evil 'apostates' are out to kill them.

  Which Watchtower publications did you keep?

  by Schnufti in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm currently cleaning up our bookcase and need to decide what goes into the trash.

  i'll keep the watchtower books that are not available online anymore (e.g.

  the brown "reasoning" book).

  I live in a small house, we've just been under our stairs (storage place) and pulled out decades of bound volumes. I'm all for throwing them away but my husband says keep them. But why? I'm not going to use them again - ever. So bit by bit I'm throwing them away but I'm keeping my pink paradise book.
  

  !!!!!!!!!!DON'T!!!!!!!!!! Give them away to one of us. We'll gladly take them off your hands. I'd offer to buy them but I've got no money.
