I guess I'm just not blessed by the holy Avatar. I did the whole gravatar thing with the same email address and everything ... weeks ago (checking email, it was 31st Jan), and I assure you it had neither lobster claws, nor chicken feet, nor rabbit ears, nor a stack of triangles. It's there on my profile on gravatar.com, it's rated G, yet this site doesn't pick it up. Ptui and feh!

... my user name on gravatar is different than it is here ... does that matter? (as I said, emails are the same)

LIFE after JW: Why is it so difficult to keep a romantic relationship?

It's disturbing that the product of being born and raised in such an organization can result in the member never learning how to define his own values. Is this what's going on here? Is this common? ... and ... is this a hallmark that the organization is a mind-control cult?

Help over BOE letters

just a quick question for some help.. if a person was able to log into the jw.org website using a personalised user name and password given to them by the wt computer services dept, would the borg be able to tell what websites that person had visited, what information would they be able to glean off his computer?

can they track the computer etc?.

any advice welcomed.... .

Wait wait wait a minute. If you're talking about downloading from a server administed by WT personnel, they can very easily tell what is downloaded. There are various logs, among them an ftp log, and an http log, that can record every event where incoming computer at IP address xx.xx.xx.xx downloaded file at file path /root/folder/file.doc ... etc.

Why is it necessary that God be good?

by gubberningbody in

if there is a sb (supreme being), there really isn't any logical necessity that it would conform in any manner to what we call "good".

it simply isn't a requirement, and yet for religious people it simply must be that god is good.. .

i wonder if it's love or fear, which causes people to cling to this idea.. .

I think your question, there, is ... do YOU gravitate towards kindness, honesty, helpfulness, caring, or towards meanness, lying, indifference, greed, indifference?

I learned to read with Dick and Jane and Sally. How about you?

i can hardly believe the prices they're getting for pristine copies of those books they handed out to those of us with scalps populated with lice, hands and fingers encrusted with bits of jelly and dried mud.

they're getting between $100 and $200 per copy.. thanks to google images, i couldn't resist taking another peek between some of those charming colored pages as a reminder to what we were actually exposed to in trying to make us literate.. most of these look contemporary to when i went to school -- the 1940's.

one of them may go back into the 1930's.

My favorite was an old set of "My Bookhouse" books that my parents had. Like this:
