  Help! Want to use Linux

  by hamsterbait in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a three year old laptop.. the disk got corrupted, and i don't have the windows reinstal anymore.

  god only knows where it went, and he's not telling.. i have decided that i want to just forget windows for this machine, and use linux instead.

  the learning experience could be fun, and instaling it and doing the necessary with the corrupted hard disk should be an interesting project.. i dont want to spend a fortune, but what software would i need if any to prepare the hard disk.

  gnome is way better of course, only christians use kde.
  
  i also recommend ubuntu. you need no extra software to prepare your harddisk. you can download ubuntu for free at ubuntu.com, all you have to do is burn the cd-image to a cd, put it into your computer and start. it'll start from cd and give you an option to install it to your harddisk.

  does anyone else sometimes hear a phrase and immediately connect it to big a or something?

  i've been playing the game "assassins creed" on my playstation 3 yesterday and one character in the game greets me like: "safety and peace, my brother!

  i instantly had to think about the "whenever they say, peace and security..." line.

  I don't really like my sister...

  by cognac in

  she has the capability of being nice but i never feel like its very warm.

  i've tried to reach out to her before but i just have nothing in common with her.

  i don't even feel comfortable around her.. because of her personality, the idea of just being in her presence stresses me out.

  hmm... don't know what to do about the kids, but i learned that good friends are way more important than any family ties. of course some family members may be one's best friends too. or one's worst enemies...

  by Philippus79 in

  i think to remember the russell initially accepted water baptisms of other christian denominations.

  but does anyone know when (and maybe who) they started their own water baptism rite?

  couldn't find much in the 'proclaimers' book.

  Did you help clean the Kingdom Hall, yard work, maintenance?

  at one hall i attended for serveral years had a lawn covering large man-made burms with trees and bushes.

  it was a difficult yard to mow and maintain.

  i have often wondered why we all pitched in and worked so hard for nothing.

  Did GOD become a Man?

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  2. bible

  did god become a man?.

  some 2,013 years ago, a baby boy was born in a small town in the middle east, and he grew up and lived around 30 years before being put to death.

  today, two millenniums later, over 2 billion people claim to follow that man, and they claim that this man lives, even though he died!.

  Did/Does God answer your prayers?

  by song19 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my spiritual journey, which includes trying to decide if i still believe in god anymore or not i am beginning to question if god listened to my prayers or even answered them.

  i think i had a track record of praying more when i needed something.

  terrible i know.

  some things you wish to come true happen, some don't. if you pray for those things, some prayers are "answered" and some are not. for those "unanswered" prayers, you've always got the "god knows better" exit.
  
  things happen, but i highly doubt they happen because of someone crossing the fingers, throwing a dime into a well or praying to ones favourite god.

  chocolate

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard a while back of a study that was done some years ago.

  evidently, they took children preschool or kindergarten, don't remember which, and told them that they could have either 1 piece of chocolate now, or if they waited till the end of the day they could have two.

  they kept track of which kids took the immediate chocolate and which ones held out for two.

  i'd want the chocolate now. because who knows if they'll still have chocolate when the day is over?

  Who really are the Apostates?

  by Honesty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  another discussion board has a thread that discusses the 'faithful and discreet slave' and asks some very probing questions of the jehovah's witnesses who post on that board:.

  http://community.beliefnet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19635.

  a couple of days ago, several jehovah's witnesses who had previously posted replies began to post comments that they weren't going to respond to questions presented by the thread's originator because he left jehovah and is an apostate.. other posters who are non-jw have been responding to the jw's and asking them some very disturbing questions regarding paryer and shunning.. it appears to me that the real apostates on that thread are not the former jw's or never have been jw's.. .
