Hi Simon,
I was just wondering if you have ever considered making an app for this forum. I would be on here all the time if I could use it on my iPhone! It's kind of a pain using it on my iPhone safari browser, so I only visit this site using my laptop. (On second thought, maybe it's good you haven't yet!) :)
update on mouthy (grace gough)this is graces granddaughter.
i wanted to send an update that today my beautiful grandmother passed away - surrounded by friends and family.
- may 22 1927 - sept 2nd 2016. mouthys_granddaughter.
I always enjoyed reading what she posted.
I just realized there is no crying smiley. We really need a crying smiley. I bet it would get used a lot here.
i was wondering if anyone had ever heard of the jws texting random numbers to "send their message".
do they do this at all?
and is it a common practice?.

i was having a discussion with an old friend last night.
her parents are divorced and his mother never became “one of jehovah witnesses “ .
long story short she claims elders are generally hardier on women than men.
Yes ... they're still holding a grudge against us for eating an apple.
gorby is as you know a long time fader.. visited the convention this weekend.. and concluded that samuel herds talk about hope was not so bad at all, it was well balanced.
made some good points.. knowing both sides of the medallion, have to admit he was humble with a focus on hope.. the saturday drama impressed me.
of course, there is a lot to say about the organization, this professional produced movie in a "true story" scenario, gave me the insight that hope is important for suffering people.
One person's "hope" is another person's fear.
well it took awhile.
i've downsized.
got rid of my bmw.
But ... wwwhhhhyyyy?
i have argued with several jws who are now being trained to deny the org ever said the end in 75, what is your approach?.
My advice for anyone planning to argue with JWs about 1975 ...
i thought i'd spend some time cleaning up the forum code and wanted to let you know about some of the recent changes and fixes:.
the avatars and in-post images used to use a separate imaging service which was convenient but didn't provide much control over caching which meant that each day you visited the site you were probably re-downloading those images again.
as they are immutable they can be cached for a long time which saves bandwidth and speeds things up.
Thanks for all of your hard work, Simon.
My wish is for some kind of notification system to tell me when there are any new comments to threads where I have posted.
i think studying the king james bible, and the jacobean flavored translations of the apocrypha and pseudipigrapha, whether you believe in them or not, is an essential part of being a culturally rooted english speaker.
i used to belong to an organization that advocated reading a chapter a day, but had no actual faith requirement to be a member.
20c a week and read the kjv a chapter a day, no lifestyle requirement, no doctrinal litmus test.
Please don't.
the new broadcast is - predictably - about being loyal to the gb.it's a shut up and sit down message.. one of the funny things they keep bringing up is the correlation between the gb and moses.those who don't listen to the gb are like korah.. this is a false choice, why?let's look at a quick comparison.
(this is from the point of view of the bible).
was moses directly picked by god?- yeswas the gb directly picked by god?- well no, we actually are not told how the gb are picked and why the qualify.. did god talk to moses?- yesdoes god talk to the gb- no, they admit they are not in direct communication.. did god inspire moses to write laws and judge.- yesdoes god inspire the gb to write laws and judge.- no, they admit they are not inspired, and they are always wrong and need to change things all the time.. did god give the israelites undisputable proof that moses is his channel?- yes, many miracles visible to everyone one around happenddoes god give jws undisputable proof that the gb are his channel?- no, there is no proof, actually contrary.. was moses ever wrong?- nohas the gb ever been wrong?- every time.
I wish someone would make a reel of the highlights. I don't think I can stomach sitting through the whole thing.
