  Sorry for the occasional unintentional 'dislike'

  by paul from cleveland in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i read this forum on my phone so occasionally, as i'm scrolling down the page, i accidentally touch the 'dislike' button on a comment.

  i don't have the option to 'undislike' after i touch it.

  once i touch the button, i can't change it.

  Ruby, yes it's very possible. I read almost every thread but didn't keep track of those that I accidentally touched the dislike button. Also, if it wasn't me, I presume there are others doing the same thing. I had intended to make this post earlier but was reminded to do so when reading the thread regarding the songbook. Someone had disliked a seemingly innocuous post and a comment was made that it must have been a lurking JW that did so. I wouldn't take a dislike seriously because it could have been a mistake.

  I've also accidently hit the 'flag' button many times but thankfully there is a cancel option on that.

  I wanted to post about this because I know many are very sensitive and may wonder for a long time why someone disliked their comment.

  I've actually accidentally disliked more than a few comments that I liked but didn't know I could change it until now.

Once I touch the button, I can't change it. I don't know if it works differently on other browsers but that's how it works on this phone.

  So if your comment received a 'dislike' don't feel bad. It may have just been me by mistake.

  Sorry about that.

  Born to Be Conned - The New York Times

  born to be conned - new york times.

  when people want to believe what they want to believe, david sullivan, a professional cult infiltrator, told the commonwealth club of california, a public affairs forum, in july 2010, they are very hard to dissuade.

  and the reason it happens (and often happens to the most intelligent people) is that human nature is wired toward creating meaning out of meaninglessness..

  You're welcome Oubliette. I especially liked this quote:

  Nobody thinks they are joining a cult, David Sullivan explains. “They join a group that’s going to promote peace and freedom throughout the world or that’s going to save animals, or they’re going to help orphans or something. But nobody joins a cult.” We don’t knowingly embraces false beliefs. We embrace something we think is as true as it gets.

  A quick Google search for nora777 came up with the username for a Muslim woman in Brooklyn. Maybe this is in response to Operation ISIS by Anonymous this Friday?

  Changes to reporting

  so it seems placing literature is not so important anymore, now that we live in a digital age.. we are being pushed to show videos instead.

  this is the new reporting from next month, just hrs and any literature placed in one box and then how many videos you showed in another box.. bib changes for sure..

  Can they download these videos or do they have to stream them and use mobile data at the door? If required to use mobile data, it could get expensive if you're a family head with a wife and several children. All of you need smart phones or tablets and a larger data plan.
