  jw party goes very wrong.

  came across this audio recording on youtube which i found compelling.

  an xjw recounts the story of how jws recently had a big party in the us.

  The problem with this story is that everything we know about the Witnesses say this scenario is very possible, but it is so incredible, it's hard to believe. I would have to have verification before I believed this, but since they supposedly covered it up, that isn't likely to surface.

  It doesn't keep me logged in, and it is so annoying having to log in every time! Plus ... I think it would be cool if we had an app. And when you did a search in the App Store for Jehovah's Witnesses, it should be the first one to pop up! Now that the JWs have got so techy, they need some competition in that App Store! :)

  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!) :)

  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.

  Are the Elders harder on Women

  by Steel in

  2. experiences

  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.

  Convention

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  Updates and fixes

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  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.
