i just got a new computer and am setting it up and wondering what suggestions/reviews anyone can give for computer applications other then the traditional microsoft ones that come with the computer.

i have a ton more ram now (going from 256 to 2gb) and can do a few more things then i could before (like something other then running the os).. has anyone tried the openoffice.org suite?

i'd also like a media player other then windows media player, any suggestions?

Firefox has that memory leak problem, I mean, "feature." I use it anyway. for media players, I use winamp for music, and vlc media player for videos.

Did you ever think you'd stop being one of Jehovah's Witnesses?

by sandy in

i'm sure this question has been asked before .

i've come a long way in my thinking.

a very long way!

I always hated going to the KH twice a week, plus an extra meeting in between, and I felt the same about FS, but I figured that it was something we had to do 'cause the "true" religion would be no walk in the park. Then I googled JWs and finally let it sink in that it was a cult.

The Inquisition. Have you been a victim?

by hambeak in

reading crisis of conscience, the part of the inquisition of the chairmans committee is very disturbing to me.

has anyone here been before the jc and treated in such a secretive and destructive manner?

with my temperment i would probably tell them go to hell and walk out.

Interesting post. But I was wondering what the differences were between a JC and what Jews did way back.

Watchtower November 15 - study article "Reject apostasy"

by truthseeker in

every few issues, the society likes to have a dig at apostates.

they never state what apostates believe or what their arguments are.. the first study article, "keep yourselves in god's love!

" is about avoiding wrongdoing.. .

Another bs article. The day that I confronted my family with my doubts (about a month or two ago; I just blurted everything out all at once) my elder dad said "You see? You see what happens when you don't spend enough time in FS, instead being on your computer?" Hahaha.

hey, for you yahoo/google discussion group junkies, i've just created a discussion group on both yahoo and google for former and current jws who are attending college or are seriously thinking about attending college (meaning you've begun the process).

this is for us to centralize discussion on issues relating to college and to network and encourage academic excellence.

check them out, i'd like to get this started.

I've been in college for two years. No horny "worldly" girls have thrown themselves at me. Then again, I'm not eye candy. =\
