Hahaahaha...I was thinking the same thing about David.
I can only visualize using him as a example of what not to do. Such as not to commit Adultery,have someone murdered etc.

Important security tip for those on here that use FaceBook.
by StoneWall ina friend on fb shared this security tip with me and after realizing how crucial it could be with all the "man-in-the-middle" and data mining going on with fb i decided to share it with all of you in case you were like me and wasn't aware of it.. and after seeing what all it does i'm also curious if you're like me and wonder why facebook doesn't make it the default setting instead of the other way around.. anyhow if you go to account/account settings/account security, you should see a box that says beside it, browse facebook on a secure connection.. make sure to put a check mark in that box and then click save.. to check to make sure it is set properly, your address bar should now show https:facebook.com (notice it added the "s" for secure after http).. when you do banking online or other data sensitive issues online you are probably used to seeing the https on them and that is why.. if you are unsure of why you would want this setting on fb, i'd highly recommend to search on google for https and read the wiki article that comes up.
it list all the benefits of using this security option when/where it's available.. your friends on fb list will be much happier knowing that things they send you or that you post in pm's are more secure as well.. i was surprised at how many friends/family on my list wasn't aware of this option either.. hope that helps with any fears and/or concerns you may have with facebook security.. stonewall.

A friend on FB shared this security tip with me and after realizing how crucial it could be with all the "man-in-the-middle" and data mining going on with FB I decided to share it with all of you in case you were like me and wasn't aware of it.
And after seeing what all it does I'm also curious if you're like me and wonder why FaceBook doesn't make it the default setting instead of the other way around.
Anyhow if you go to Account/Account settings/Account security, you should see a box that says beside it, Browse FaceBook on a secure connection.
Make sure to put a check mark in that box and then click save.
To check to make sure it is set properly, your address bar should now show https:FaceBook.com (notice it added the "s" for secure after http).
When you do banking online or other data sensitive issues online you are probably used to seeing the https on them and that is why.
If you are unsure of why you would want this setting on FB, I'd highly recommend to search on Google for https and read the Wiki article that comes up. It list all the benefits of using this security option when/where it's available.
Your friends on FB list will be much happier knowing that things they send you or that you post in PM's are more secure as well.

Hope that helps with any fears and/or concerns you may have with Facebook security.

by PYRAMIDSCHEME inthe 150th anniversary of the start of the american civil war is only a few days away and i was wondering if any civil war nerds like me were hanging out on jwn.. and for you southeners: "the war of northern aggression" or "war for southern independence.

Yeah big time Civil war buff here.
My favorite personage of the time....StoneWall Jackson.
My favorite battle was the Monitor versus the Merrimack.
It was really amazing about the first ironclad ships and how it shaped the future of all the navy around the world to come.
Right after that battle it became apparent that all the wooden hull ships were obsolete.
Great stuff.

Will the WTS ever give up on Armageddon?
by factfinder injesus died some 2,000 years ago.
how much longer will people wait for him to return?.
will the wts still preach the nearness of armageddon 100 years from now?

Why would/should they give up on it?
It's their biggest motivator for the masses. Fear tactics are religions main weapons.
That would be like all the other religions giving up on telling people about a burning hell or that God will destroy them unless they do what they teach in order to be "saved".

How can anyone watch that video and not see that there is something very,very wrong with whats in the bible?
Sometimes it takes humor to show us things that logic sometimes fails to do because of our predisposition.

Does anyone else get the feeling that BTS account may have been compromised?
Be interesting to know if it's originating from same isp as usual.
Cause if it's not been hacked, he's on something similar to Charlie Sheen.

by nicolaou ini detest this type of posting.
it's only my opinion of course and so long as forum rules aren't breached we're all free to express ourselves as we see fit.
doesn't mean i have to like it though.. honestly, can't you make your point without this kind of infantile name calling?

"In any case, if anybody expects me to return to calling it "the truth" just to appeal to lurkers... I'm leaving. I left the JWs because they were bossy and wrong. I don't need to go through that again."

JWN Researchers - Early financial records for WTS
by Lady Lee inhow would we get the early financial records of the wts?.
was the wts considered non-profit?
a religious order?

Lady Lee:
These dates don't add up.
"Witness our hands and seals this 12th day of November, A. D. 1884.
It was approved April 29th, 1874 by the Court of Common Pleas No. 1 of Allegheny County No. September 1884 The copy I have comes from Watchtower Documents (Barb Anderson's website)"
How can something be signed and sealed in A.D. 1884 and yet be approved by the Court 10 years earlier in A.D. 1874?
Normally every where I've did legal trasactions, you had to sign and seal everything ahead of it ever getting approved.

Things I have heard about California JW's
by mamalove inafter reading the two piece bikini discussion and the comment about calipornea, it reminded me of something i used to hear about the jw attitude in general there.
that it was extremely lax compared to mid west or other areas.. people were supposedly not df'd when they would most definitely been elsewhere, and more "worldy" type of dress and grooming were tolerated well.. is this correct at least in some areas?
if so, do you think it has to do with money, or the general culture there?.

Dear Leolaia,
This didn't make sense to me;
"I never thought about any California effect before, but my JW aunt who's in her 70s has a gay daughter and although my aunt is an uber-Witness, and field service and meetings and everything JW-related is his life, she has never shunned her daughter (who also was raised a Witness but left when she could). "
Is the underlined "his" supposed to say "her" ? Or am I mis-reading it?
