  Are you suspicious of LURKERS?

  by VampireDCLXV in

  2. friends

  we all know they're here but we don't really know who they are.. they are people who sign up here and then never comment (or rarely ever do).. doesn't that make any of you regulars here at the very least a tiny bit suspicious?.

  why would a person sign up to a forum like this and then never say a damn thing?

  it seems to me that there is a primary reason why some folks sign up and then never comment on anything: to spy.

  No more suspicious of a lurker than someone who can have 1700 posts in the first 3 months on JWN

  We all have different circumstances and not all have too much time to post on the web. I lurked here for a year or 2 before joining on the day of the memorial last year! I quickly scan JWN every day, but don’t have time to post on every subject, normally just try and welcome new ones.

  TO SPY. I really have to wonder what other reasons there could be. It makes me deeply suspicious.

  Spies can some in the form of a lurker who rarely posts or a very active poster. If someone doesn’t want to reveal who they are and guards their privacy, just be careful what one posts.....

  But whatever, I got bigger fish to fry than watching my back for a quak job cult member

  Well said Soldier 77. Cheers, Mattieu

  i was disfellowshipped when i was 21 (raised as a witness).

  my mother who is now 80 and a diehard witness always hoped that i would return.

  she is concerned that she will soon pass away and the arrangements.

  Mate, at least you are being honest. I had to have my first meaningful and honest talk with my Mum since my fade, not something enjoyable, but honest.

  Toilet quandries: The seat: Up/Down and Toilet paper direction

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  those who have lived with the opposite sex know of the frustration of being lectured about some triviality.. the toilet seat/paper controversy is among the most inflammatory.. men who forget to put the toilet seat back down inspire anger, rage, resentment and the stern lecture.. the easiest solution is to train the man to always sit down when he goes.. .

  others argue over the direction of the toilet paper: forward overlap or backward underlap.. .

  how do you deal with these issues and how violent do you become?.

  Seat & Lid must be down & clean. Toilet paper over the top and I fold the end of it into a arrow head, and no Im not gay (not that there is anything wrong with that) I care more about the state of the toilet than the wifey...... The ensiute is my escape form the outside world, my panic room so to speak ;-)

  As CB said, PM yknot, I did and read the entire new elders book this afternoon after getting the link. Better to have downloaded the link elsewhere than have Simon dragged into it by the wtb$ lawyer$. Cheers & happy brazen conduct, Mattieu
