  Zoom zoom rules +

  by Wakanda in

  1. and this is most important, everyone listen up: dress up like you normally would for meeting!

  -oh, gawd.. 2. if you use a zoom background, make sure it is not distracting, or something crass like prison.

  stick with something dignified and subtle.

  my wife is keeping tight lipped about the zoom login particulars, the locals seem to be very afraid their session may be hacked into by apostates and I guess that includes me.

  so not many details except they're really having quite a problem training everyone to use it, was all I could get out of her about how things are going.

  I suggested they can call in just like on KHConf especially for the older folk who cannot seem to get it. They are used to calling in and you can use Zoom from a landline even. But I guess that didn't compute since I just got the deer in the head lights look, a brief awkward pause and an abrupt change of the conversation. So that was that.

  Ah, I see where you're headed with this question.

  The fact of the matter is actually that it <are you ready for this> evolved.

  Why does nature keep pulling this sh¡t might be a better question, no?

  The radicals make me feel like I have to defend Trump when I don't want to because of their crazy lies.

  as i have stated in other posts i voted for trump because he said he would crack down on illegals while the left was trying to open the flood gates and let them in to destroy the nation.

  was he the one i wanted in 16, no i was hoping for cruz.

  he is arrogant but smart and somewhat polished and had many views like i do.

  did that really come from the chest though? Cause it sounded more like it smelled bad. Your politics are more churned than last nights chili for dinner. Sounded more to me like a surprisingly loud belch LOL and you need some antacid for The Bern that's coming LOL

  zoom is free to use and you can extend services with a subscription

  if you pay zoom the WT doesn't get a cut

  If the WT asks for a donation to them for using zoom they are running a scam

  German expert - Covid 19 is being hyped!

  by The Fall Guy in

  after commenting on experts' differing views, i came across wolfgang wodang - a physician/politician.. he makes the point that coronavirus is no worse than the 'flu virus which killed 18,000 in 2017/18.

  so far, there have been 8,215 deaths from coronavirus in italy.. worth reading wikipedia's brief info on his theses.

  Former Poster (TMS) Returns During Coronavirus Lockdown

  by ReinventedTwice in

  my old user account says i joined this forum 19 years ago, an intermittent poster starting 102 topics, the last about 12 years ago.

  with my community under a volunteer stay-at-home policy and a mandatory curfew, i took the time to read all of my old posts and the replies, reminding me of how informative and therapeutic this forum was during my jw to ex-jw transition.. in 2018, my life took another turn with the death of my wife of 49-1/2 years after a long illness.

  my writing, according to observers, lost its edge and purpose.. i travelled to asia, meeting a beautiful, intelligent woman in cagayan de oro, philippines, 33 years my junior.

  About the Memorial and Unleavened Bread Thing..

  by snugglebunny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  unleavened bread has no yeast in it.

  and yeast is a symbol of sin, right?

  not good for symbolising whatever it's supposed to symbolise, obviously.. so my beloved missus, who i believe is possibly the best cook in the world (although i do have a soft spot for chef nigella lawson with those magnificent knockers and all) is an absolute ace at baking sourdough bread.. and yes, sourdough bread - especially when toasted - is absolutely yummy.

  Can't use anything that ferments the dough or makes it rise -- the thing is they had to leave Egypt without waiting for the bread to rise

  The Holy Spirit

  by Acer21 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if the holy spirit is an "active force", how can it be grieved (ephesians 4:30)?.

  in other words, according to the jw's, one can make jehovah's "force" sorrowful?

  this is an example of how the jw leaders have perverted the gospel in translation, and have put the jw's in a position in which they must perform intellectual gymnastics in order to maintain their false position.

  I'm a Christian and feel the help of the Holy Spirit as I try to live my life as a disciple of Jesus Christ. To me te Holy Spirit is a gentle force that serves as my guide in daily life. It helps me try to rise above my imperfections. I feel it also brings to mind Godly principles and teachings that allow me to better cope with life's anxieties and trials.
