  Today's W.T when it mentioned Depression and Anxiety

  by Isambard Crater in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  our co-ordinator put his hand up and commented saying that people who go on about how depressed or anxious they are just need to stop giving in to impulses and show more self control without letting their emotions rule their lives.. if anyone from the media, a government agency or some other public body heard a comment like that, they'd have a hard time exercising self control over the rubbish this elder spouted, which my friends and family with genuine depression found insulting..

  If you have Windows 10 . . .

  by compound complex in

  my roommate bought a new dell laptop, operated by windows 10. in the three weeks he's had it, it's online then goes offline (and this repeatedly): when he goes from one e-mail to another, when he engages in a financial transaction, when he opens a new webpage, etc.

  he does the basic rebooting, as prescribed in the article whose link is attached.

  his pc and my older dell and apple powerbook are all on wifi.

  Greetings, neat blue dog, bsmart, and scratchme1010:

  I really appreciate this info! It seems a solution is at hand. He and I both think it weird that my two ancient laptops, although deficient in minor ways, never have left me as frustrated as he is with a very expensive device.

  THANKS MUCH!

  Asexual dating?

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for those who don't know, asexual is someone who feels no sexual desire for other people.

  they may often want the companionship of a relationship but with no benefits.

  what would the jws view be of a jw dating an asexual worldly person?

  Not exactly your point, but posters raised some relevant questions:

  If you know of similar issues, are you aware that it's because Microsoft fixed one problem but created this new one I am describing?

  Any information you might provide would be appreciated.

  THANKS!

  Admins & Mods ... who are they?

  by Tallon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is just a general query, and am hoping someone can clarify.. a lot of web forums usually list the usernames of the admins & moderators.

  i have not seen listed, unless someone can show me otherwise, the admins & moderators of this web forum.. from what i can gather, simon is the owner & admin of this web forum.

  scully has just locked a discussion thread - so i'm guessing that s/he is either an admin or moderator.. who are the admins & moderators ?.

  Small, but important for technical reasons, Simon kindly reminded me not to all-bold text and ALL-CAP SUBJECT TITLES. Likewise, when I needed help understanding other matters, I received a much appreciated. patient explanation.

  We all need reminders and explanations.

  Thanks, Simon, Angharad, and Scully!

  Outside JW World They Barely Exist

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is anyone else staggered by the fact that outside of the organization most of the general public seem to know very little or nothing about jw’s?

  when i was in i was led to believe that 99% of the worlds population had been giving sufficient warning, knew what it was all about and were stubbornly sticking to their immoral ways.

  the reality seems to be that the entire jw universe is barely noticeable to the masses.

  Didn't we go out thinking that as people drove by or saw us from their windows, that a BIG witness was being given? That we were important enough to be recognized were ever we went? Assemblies with the badges on going out to dinner.... days of future past

  A WT study article, many years ago, stated that those hearing the Good News but not getting the sense of its importance would most certainly understand what they had heard us preach -- when the "doors had been closed." Then, it would be too late.

  I commented on that particular paragraph and firmly believed that the message was lying fallow in some recess of their minds but not acted upon. What dofp wrote, I believed with all my heart.

  Why Jehovah witnesses don't say, "Bless you" ?

  by Issa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  bless you, that was a big sneeze you let out sister.. sister- ah, what does "bless you" mean?.

  oh, it's pagan.

  because people bless the soul of the person so they don't escape from their physical bodies.. sister- right, it is difficult to change the little things, but we can please jehovah by staying away from those things.. .... this is a scenario that happened when i accidentally (naturally) said "bless you" to the jw sister.
