  missing a lot of the oldies and goodies -- is this site so new, no one has signed on yet?

  i am confused... but then, i will have to wait and see what happens.. somehow - change is not the best option but we adjust..have most of the users gone to other locations?.

  tl.

  Like Magnum said, till we get a FAQ on how things work it will be slow going for some things.

   BUT I was able to change my avatar and I do like the look of it.  Thank you Simon!

  New forum 'parousia' is upon us! (software version)

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  the time has nearly come to switch over to the new forum software.

  of course it's not completely finished yet (and never will be) but i think it's good enough to go live with and probably already better than the current one.

  i'll give you a quick overview of what to expect and post more detail about the changeover process later.. cloud platform.

  I really would like to return to my reading of the archives... I had started on active topics and worked from page 4 or 5 to somewhere in the 300's.  Is there a easy way to get this done?  I know that it should be possible.  

  Technology is wonderful, but I do need detailed instructions.  FAQ's, whatever I am doing now is not working.

  Click  your name at the top of the page, it goes to your profile page... Which you can now enter info about yourself.  About halfway down is the option to change the avatar.  You can do this!

  My dub aunt thinks Obama is mentioned in the bible.

  by Jehovah lol in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  she's not even american and doesn't live in the usa so it's not even her area of political awareness really.

  she seems convinced that obama is the prophesied wolf in sheep's clothing mentioned in revelation.. it's unusual for non-us dubs to hold the weirder beliefs, so this is a new one for me.

  she also said that the end is very close now and that things are a foot with north korea; it's clearly the king of the north.. she said exactly the same thing 5 years ago about china, and exactly the same thing 10 years ago about iraq.. derp derp..

  Like Button

  by Coded Logic in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i read through the suggestion box and haven't seen anyone recomend this yet: is it possilbe to add a "like" button for posts and comments?

  maybe something that keeps count of them like on youtube.

  i think it would be a great tool to let people know we appreciate their comments.. i know we have the thumbs up icon we can paste in our comments but its hard to "like" someones elses comment when the thread is already 30 comments deep.. (feel free to thumbs up if this is a feature you'd like to see).

  Changing avatars is easy, click on your name at the top of the page; it goes to the profile page you can write a bit and do the avatar (using Gravatar or your own download)  

  Love your new look Awake at Last!  Mine is a quilt close-up, that I took a picture of at a quilt show.

  About the ten plagues in Egypt

  2. beliefs

  alot of people are saying god is cruel for killing the firstborns and animals and people in the ten plagues.

  but didn't god achieve his goal of making nations and people be in fear of him?.

  Forty years to walk accross a desert that could be walked accross in less than half a year, unlikely. There is a theory that there was a trickle of immagrents over a period of years from Egypt. The Moses story appears to be taken from Sumerian myths. All this from a quick search on Google.

  can an unhappy married woman vent?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i continue to be saddened by the fact that i am married to such a selfish man.. i want to know if i am the only wife who has no say when it comes to using the house she lives in for activities including other people.. .

  let me explain.. yesterday my daugher who is 35 got a new puppy for my grandaughter who is 13. today my daughter and son in law are going to help my uncle at a job, and my granddaughter wanted to spend the day here, my daugher said shed bring her and the puppy over, i laughed and said 'your dad wont have that, ill have to go to your house'.. after all it will 'upset' the 2 cats they will hide all day [like they do anytime someone including my grandchild is in my home] .. i already knew that he would not like it if she brought the puppy over, [weve had dogs so its not like he hates them].

  he doesnt care if his grandaughter would have enjoyed playing with the puppy over grandmas house, where she likes to be for a change, and that fact that id like to see what my cats would do when they saw a dog for the first time in thier lives.. maybe id have liked to play with the puppy .. when i said to my husband that my daughter said she wanted tp bring them over he said.

  If you were raised a witness they set you up.... doesn't matter if you married a "worldly". The man is the "head".

  When I married my husband (I was out of the borg 8 years) I was still in that mindset. A family counselor told me marriage is a partnership. Took me a while to really figure out that I could "readjust my thinking" but it can be done. All the advice can give you an idea of what can be done, pick what seems fesable.

  So check with the community college, tell him you want to take a class. Check the finances and open a savings account in your name. It may be small but it will help your self worth. If you want no statements at the house, ask for online banking. Speak up. Tell him his alcohalism is making you crazy, go to alanon. You cant make him go to AA but you will get more ideas to cope. You have good insurance, see the doctor about your deppression. You should qualify for counselling and meds and therapy are an option. GO

  You can have a better life!
