SPELLINGE !
by wobble ini know i am an old fart and a pedant,but things spelled incorrectly stand out, like copy of c.o.c in a kingdom hall library.. i don't think it matters too much say,posting on here,or in life generally,so many people make mistakes,but i do think it detracts from your credibility and your message in important stuff i.e a d.a letter for example,any excuse and dub's will ignore what you say.. so,is it not worth checking?
one word that many on here have a problem with is apostasy,often putting a c where the last s should be.. is having a problem with this word a true example of irony?.
love.

Why is it that people are so set on proper spelling and grammar and promote the importance of this, but when it comes to verbal speech, these same ones seem to overlook the same rules that should apply as with spelling and writing..??
I see the point made in the OP but why does writing have to have such stringent rules attached…?? It is purely there as a means of communication, so if people can understand what is being said then that is all that matters surly..?? And what kind of person would conclude that bad spelling nullifies an argument when written..??
Actually I will confess that I am really bad at spelling, and if it wasn’t for the fact that I use a spell check then this post itself would have about a dozen errors in it. Even with a spell check I can spell things wrong. Not being able to write has been the bane of my life (well maybe not quite that bad) being that it not only makes the people that read what you have written wonder about your academic ability, but it also causes the person to question this about themselves also. My problems stem from the fact that I had difficulties when I was a child and those problems have had repercussions for most of my life. Doesn’t make you feel good about yourself.
It is such a shame that this snobbery exists but that is human nature I suppose…
One thing that I will add which was quite funny was something that happened to me the other week. Someone sent me an email ‘funny’ that had all of these misspellings that people had noticed on public signs. I looked through the whole email and wondered what was so humourous.

Hmmmm, this is a sensitive area. Jam or honey? Smooth or crunchy? White bread or whole wheat? It's best for all involved parties to meet beforehand with lawyers, negotiate terms and conditions, and sign an agreement (in triplicate) and get it properly notarized.
Or you could just sit there with a spoon seductively playing with the jar of honey and see if you could scheme your way in while playing on her weaknesses. That’s always fun and a lot less legalistic….
It’s only a matter of time before they succumb…..
Oh god..!! Now I’m getting excited…. Damn you FF….!! Now look what you’ve started….!!

All of this back and forth about sex is getting me all excited about having a peanut butter sandwich. It's much less complicated.
Now what part of the anatomy are you going to eat that sandwich off first FF…? And does that mean that you are going to smear that lovely peanut butter all over certain areas and then indulge..??
Just love your style……

Why more women than men?
by Mickey mouse inwhy do you think more women than men are drawn to the borg?.
years ago women were more likely to be home during the day when the jw's came a-knocking but i doubt that's the case today.. my husband and i were discussing this and i said that i think more male converts would have an issue with the authoritarian structure of the organization than the female ones.
also, i think the impositions upon a person's sexuality are especially difficult for men.

Could it be the association of the age long conditioning of you girls being promised the world, of being sweet talked by guys who tell you how wonderful life is going to be, of being told that you are near to perfection, and how you will live happily ever after with the euphoric bliss of spiritual and physical perfection, only for it all to fall apart at the seam when those empty words turn into thin air….???
because lets face it, you girls fall for that one nearly every time……

Did you Hate Being Called Brother ( last name ) Or use People's First Name?
by flipper ina a witness this really bugged me.
i hated being called brother ( last name ) by people i knew for 10, 20, or 30 years !
it was so impersonal i felt.

Mr. Majestic
Great thread ‘brother’ flipper…
Yeah, really used to hate this. Also hated the fact that some parents used to get their children to call adults ‘uncle’ and ‘auntie’, being that they thought that would teach the children respect. Just ends up as much a pretence as ‘brother’ and ‘sister’…. What’s wrong with names anyway..
