with the recent post on the jw website of a use of terms disclaimer, we should all start using tor a free software that can allow us to hide our real ip addresses when visiting jw.borg.. https://www.torproject.org/.
By Googling the terms "tor security compromised", you will be able to explore a slew of articles on the recently publicized TOR problem. One of them leads its story with, "Andy Malone, head of Microsoft’s Enterprise Security, claims that the TOR (The Onion Router) network does not provide the anonymity that its many users think it does. ..."

the second contrived and unrealistic conversation that one of jehovahs witnesses imagined having with a neighbor in the november 2014 watchtower will not be reproduced here.
instead let us imagine the other witness named andre (sorry, i meant) cameron has returned to the home of the other man also named jon.. nebuchadnezzars dream a tortuous recapcameron: hi there, neighbor!.
jon: whoa!
Excellent satire, Annomaly. Well developed and logical. If only ...
20 if a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave, betrothed to another man and not yet ransomed or given her freedom, an inquiry shall be held.
they shall not be put to death, because she was not free; 21 but he shall bring a guilt offering for himself to the lord , to the door of the tent of meeting, a ram for a guilt offering.
22 and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the lord for his sin which he has committed; and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.. leviticus 19:20-22.
Since Jah doesn't tolerate it today he went thru a learning curve.
i understand that the group was comprised of sex abuse victims at the hands of church clergy.
that got me to thinking -- has the gb ever apologized to the flock?
its teachings that are compulsory have been relaxed numerous times over the years.
I understand that the group was comprised of sex abuse victims at the hands of church clergy. That got me to thinking -- has the GB ever apologized to the flock? Its teachings that are compulsory have been relaxed numerous times over the years. Prohibitions of blood transfusions, organ transplants, imprisonment for refusal to serve in the military, failed prophetic dates that encouraged JW's to sell their homes, quit their regular jobs, etc. Ms Conti, the victim of the recent sex abuse -- has she been apologized to?
The victims of all this have never, to my knowledge, received those magical words, "We're sorry".
What say ya'll?

i'm not complaining, jwn is an excellent research and discussion site, and easy to use.
.
it's just that i feel i have to scroll back through pages of threads every day to see who, if anyone, has replied to me.. only asking, thank you for your hard work, simon and the mods..
I always "Bookmark this page"using my Chrome browser, all of my posts, creating a brief description of the topic and the count of views at that moment. When I get done with this one, for example, I will have added a bookmark labeled "notification of replies, 261".
That way, I can find the exact thread easily; plus the number of reads after my post is derived by subtraction.

is it true there is a 10 year rule?
i was reading on here when i saw someone quote it?
i've never heard of it before!.
I was df'd in '77 (37 years ago). Two sons continue to shun me. One of them has 3 children, oldest 24, whom I have never met.
we know that christians generally go through ridiculous mental voodoo to explain why a benevolent god allows human suffering, and none of it makes any sense, or is filled with bunk logic.
that's what happens when you try and retrofit a jewish "god is good and evil" religion into a benevolent religion.. .
one of the biggest "trips" to a jw/christian in continuing this line of thought is asking them why god would create animals simply to suffer and die, then, after they try to blame everything on adam (whose brain god supposedly created, and who put him into the exact situation that had an influence on that brain to cause him to sin).

To preface my comments, I am having a turkey breast sandwich for lunch. Sorry, Tom, for your suffering.
A very good post. To go further, where is the line in the creature kingdom that we humans should treat them "humanely"? I regularly kill and poison armadillos, mosquitos, roaches, and fire ants. When riding my bicycle, I will go that far when a dog invades my space. Inside my house, anything not invited is fair game. When I hit a deer while driving a few years ago I stopped and turned around. If I had found the ailing deer I was prepared to put it to sleep. Why? If I kill a squirrel or cat why don't I do the same?

is there a database or mailing list of all kingdom halls in the us?.
if you also had po names that would be even better.... slipnslidemaster:"it is always the best policy to tell the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.".

Hi Bats,
I just checked out your tip. Yes, it appears you can get any meeting place in the world but, as far as I can see -- one at a time. They'd probably shut you off after a dozen or so.
