  This looks like a very interesting book and was written in 1970.

  The above link from Cabasilas still works.

  JW TV - Britain Branch Report

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  although it is titled as "britain branch report" it's not much of a report.

  it only goes for just over 6 minutes and half of it is some 'wild talk' about romeo and juliette, i say wild talk because it has nothing to do with the british branch and if there was any point to it, it's lost on me.. anyway, about the only thing said that is of any importance was this (at the 2.20 mark) -.

  "the governing body, very kindly, have given us permission to continue construction once we have reviewed the scope of the building so we hope to be underway very soon".

  I had to check that out TheOldHippie, it felt like half the video as the story was way more riveting than any of the other stuff.
  
  This Romeo (alias Luigi) is a constant feature working in the underground, performing his duties in the early morning. In fact he is so popular that he has many route (spelling??) calls that collect their magazines. One young lady, who he was attempting to become more familiar with was so impressed by him that she had the florist deliver a bunch of flowers to him, attached with a very romantic note.
  
  I can't wait for the next installment on that story.

  I cannot be disliked

  by Late Bloomer in

  i was reading the thread "problem with likes/dislikes" and i don't understand the issue.

  if you don't want your posts disliked, all you do go to your profile and uncheck the box next to the option that says "allow my posts to be rated.

  " unfortunately this removes the options to have your posts liked as well but it's fair when you think about it.

  I was thinking that maybe you really are a late bloomer but since you put this under jokes and humour I changed my mind.
  
  Ignorance is bliss and even if we can see the dislikes, we can pretend not to.

  Problem with the Like and Dislike Buttons

  by Listener in

  1. forum

  there is a problem with the like and dislike buttons.

  depending on what source you are using it is easy to vote more than once on the like or dislike.. i noticed this initially on my tablet touchscreen.

  if i tap quickly & continuously click on the like/dislike button, it will register as multiple votes, the same happens on my laptop when i do the same thing with my mouse but this method doesn't register as many votes.it is only a matter of time for others to pick up on this and there may be some who are already aware of this.

  When did I click on dislike to one of your comments Brandnew?
  
  It's taken me a while to get into this like and dislike thingy but this thread has been helpful in deciding how much I want to use it and particularly this comment from Secret Slave Class -

  Incidentally I don't down vote anymore unless by accident while intending to hit "like". I simply decided I'd rather just be positive and like rather than negative and dislike.

  It's not about being bored but probably about laziness. I have gotten into the habit of reading an opening post and liking it if it's good just to let the poster know it is being read and interesting rather than commenting about it. Lately I've been using the dislike button more with posts that I don't agree with but rather than doing that, I'll try to put more effort in responding to such posts and give my reasons why I dislike it. Mind you, there are some posts that are so ridiculous that they don't need any response.

  He was talking about the Chelmsford project and explained the need for it was because they are currently spread out over a 10km area.
  
  They started a project and are now very grateful that the GB have given them permission to continue with it but only after having to revise the whole project to reduce the scope of it.

  Thanks secret slave class, I think you're right and it corrects itself when the page is reloaded.

  Witness the fury, I wasn't sure if I should make it more widely known by starting this thread. Simon will delete it if it's not appropriate.
  I don't think it's fair if some are clicking more than once, whilst others are not aware of it.

  It is only a matter of time for others to pick up on this and there may be some who are already aware of this. It basically means that the likes and dislikes will eventually be meaningless.

  i received this via email and i'm posting it here for someone who wishes to remain anonymous

  i'm not up on legal stuff, but it sure seems to me that this further shows how the wts is positioning kh properties to be exempt from financial impact due to adverse judicial decisions (eccleciastical privilege, and all that stuff).. from septmeber:

  Jwitnessofj, both the kingdom Halls and the Watchtower corporation are puppets of the Government because they chose to avoid taxes by establishing itself as a non profit religious charity. These are highly regulated by the Government in order to keep them under their control.
