  Best would be if Morris and Lett are together in a JW tv show.

  That has some real funny potential LOL I think I might even be able to stomach watching 15 or 20 minutes of that.

  Negative forum behavior

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  another good codinghorror blog entry perfectly describes some people's online behaviour and an approach to handling it.

  i'll post part of it below but to summarize, these tend to be behaviours that don't violate any specific rules as such as the people doing it try to carefully skate just up to the line but they are nevertheless disruptive and we're not going to tolerate them on this site.

  if you are here to do these things then this isn't the site for you - move along, find someplace else on the internet to inhabit.. hate is easy to recognize.

  "one member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses repeated the well-known saying: 'to know where we are going, we have to know where we have come from.'".

  you will find this statement on jw.org - under activities - the museum - "a tour through time.

  there jw.org is featuring a slick advertisement for the tour at brooklyn, bethel, of watchtower's museum containing their version of the history of the organization.

  I wish I would have read them as a kid.

  Billy that's true, but reading them as a young boy when the whole world was outside for discovery and having very little experience at anything, reading "studies in the scriptures" seemed pretty boring after a few minutes. I just wanted to go outside and tear up the ground.LOL 

  I am in my fifties now and you would have to hold me at gun point to make me read it.

  Good Netflix shows to watch

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).

  house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

  I was just reading on the internet that the crtc is trying to limit Canadian access to U.S, shows on Net Flix. I'm not surprised. Sigh

  What I can't figure out is my grandparents had boxes of those old books dating back to the beginning of the Borg, Why did they keep them? I was discouraged from reading as a young boy. I too spent hours reading these books trying as child to understand them and repeatedly told that's old light. LOL brings back memories.

  "For far too many centuries leaders of end-times cults have faced the same old dilemma:

  How to keep the focus on the nearness of the end whilst needing to buy enough time to stretch out their credibility over the passing years to bolster their desperate claims to have the exclusively "true" interpretation about how near the end is."

  Steve this is true but those end time cults didn't have the internet to deal with.

  does shunning accomplish its objectives:.

  make the person repent?.

  After I was married I took my wife to a meeting, She was love bombed and they wouldn't even acknowledge my existence. She couldn't believe it , Christians behaving like that. So yea it was effective it taught my wife how to handle requests from my parents regarding visitation with their grandchildren when I was at work. So yes it was effective after witnessing that, it made my naturally inquisitive wife not care any thing about the borg. They played right into my hands.

  Still pointing your Finger when having a Rafter in your eye?

  by DocHouse in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yes- everyone has faults and makes mistakes; an organization even more so.. yet, you ignore all the fingers pointing at you.. many here have no faith.

  many here go to churches who lie about everything biblical; look at x-mas!.

  but at least we know god and christ and try to live up to their name!.

  Poster country flags and privacy

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).

  before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.

  first, the reason i think it should be shown:.

  I am glad that flag was removed. The day that flag is proudly displayed here is the last time I ever visit this site again.
