Getting the forum back on track

by Simon in

recently we seem to have had a few different dramas and subsequent fallout on the fourm which i feel has detracted from its purpose.

with this in mind we have decided that we need to bring the forum back on track and as such we will be clamping down on a lot of the aggressive / insulting posts which have begun to become the norm for a few people.

we will also be clamping down on the paranoid assusation type of comments against newbies, if someone joins the fourm and you do not believe everything they post - so what, why do we need to hound them away with shouts of troll and fake etc, just ignore them if you dont beleive them.

Your statement was "What is not written on the statement board does not exist" therefore seeing your name is not mentioned on the board my

so called comments about you do not exist. Sometimes our subconscious speaks to us.

It's not always about what you say, sometimes it about what you don't say ! The nature of your argument speaks volumes ! What is your spirit about ?

1000 page essay will never convince me that rude is cool or in some way benefical ! It's either all about ME or consideration for others

I praise Coffee she is of the later one . Thank you for your experienced voice of reason and hope !

Ready to out myself...

by Mickey mouse in

...well, to you guys at least.

i'm a long time lurker, still a jw (for how long i don't know?

:-s) and at a bit of a crossroads.. you've probably heard the story before.

caliber

I would like to express a big welcome to all on this site. This topic is one that lends itself to probably thousands of lurkers who need to see

and think but must also express conflicting and confusing feelings at some point. "Just putting on a happy face" does not solve those inner core

feelings that must come out! Let's not have comments like "we had this topic 8 years ago". This is a very SELFISH and SELF CENTERED

comment. Just let the HEALING BEGIN!

Why I like being a Jehovah's Witness

by TooBad TooSad in

there are so many reasons why i like being a jehovahs's witness.. 1. we get to count time when we share our faith with nonbelievers or our young children.. 2. we don't have to go to college to get a good job as a janitor or a window washer.. 3. we get to celebrate the birth of a child but not the anniversary of the birth.. 4. we don't pass a collection plate at our meetings and we get to put in our wills that when.

we die that our house, cd's, jewelery, life insurance, and cash can go the the watchtower society.

so that our family doesn't have to worry about those things.. 5. we don't have to be with our families during the holidays to enjoy each other company and eat the.

Hi Tula ! Great thoughts ,You speak with such clear simple truth. You somehow managed to say in about one paragraph what some of us

would take a 1000 page book to write !

Very well done indeed! You had us in suspense with a twist in the title that catches you off guard. Is laughable and sad at the same time if you get my drift. For sure I'll be printing this off.

Thankyou
