  • Weve missed you= I missed you too, why haven't you come by to visit me?

    You coming back= I never go backwards, I always look forward.

    Great meeting= Yes, but it's not going to replace Star Wars

  2015-12-17-boe already, you dear brothers have done so well, sending gifts both large and small.

  Basic Principles for Forum Moderation

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  a perennial issue for any online forum is moderation and applying rules.

  we have a set of community guidelines and posting guidelines that are intended to make clear what is and isn't acceptable but this tends to focus on the obvious standards of behavior for, well, obvious reasons.

  it's easy to talk about people being aggressive or insulting etc... as those are common and clearly unwanted behaviors and the typical issue for online communities - the most likely things to come up.. does this mean that everything *not* on the list is allowed?

  Not unless you're getting married in the morning.

  But, you have to get me to the church, get me to the church, get me to the church on time.

  here is the current situation of an acquaintance of mine.. age early 40s.

  currently lost her good paying job.. managed to find another reasonably quickly.

  although be it with not good money but with the possibility of been able to take an adult apprenticeship which would increase her pay over time.. she is also looking into going to university in the new year.. here is the question i have bearing in mind the above scenario.

  You mentioned that your friend is an apprentishipping in a profession. I have found in my case that some, but not lots of education is useful, I too entered the workforce late in life since I was in full-time service during my youth.

  Recommendation: See if there is a trade/training for two years that will establish your friend in a stable organization

  J.W. Women Should Stop Wearing Mascara!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wtbts/ org dictates to its subservient followers what constitutes a bible truth/principle and what does not.

  example: it-1 p. 319 birthday - ".....there is no indication in the scriptures that faithful worshipers of jehovah ever indulged in the pagan practice of annually celebrating birthdays.

  the bible makes direct reference to only two birthday celebrations, those of pharaoh of egypt and herod antipas.

  Women don't do it because of that Jezebel influence, They do it because of the Racoon look. If guys could wear Coon Skin hats, what's the harm?

  There was this family that had two Chihuahuas and they decided to serve where the need was greater. They got rid of their Chihuahuas and guess where they were sent. That's right, Chihuahua Mexico. Had they kept them, they would have had their own interpretors.
