this may come as a shock to some people, but the current forum structure was kind of thrown together without much real thought and then evolved a bit over time.
there are a few things that particularly grate on me and areas where i don't think the subjects work particularly well.
'friends' is a bit vague and becomes a dumping ground, news & world events vs politics & current affairs is hard to decide sometimes, child abuse is a scandal but isn't contained withing 'scandals & coverups' etc.... with a new forum platform imminent, it's a good time to solicit ideas to improve things.
I would love a section just for download links to old watchtower literature and the BoE letters etc. or be able to search for them more easily.
(Could be I am doing it wrong of course)
Other than that I think this site is excellent and I come here every day without fail.
i'm new to this forum and wanted to give everyone a shout out.
i've been a silent observer of this forum for a long time, but now i feel it's time for me to break the silence and get involved.
i've been inactive since november of last year.
Welcome
wow...went to see les miserables at the weekend - it was brilliant!.
anyone else seen any good shows lately?
I am so jealous. It is my favourite musical too.
I have both anniversary DVDs and the BBC adaptation and the musical score is in my cd changer in my car.
The opening scenes of the film version with Russell Crowe were filmed here in Portsmouth.
got a phone call today from a couple from our ex congregation.
he was visited again by two elders(one in training) again.
third shepherding call within two months.
Hope you are ok.
I am a 4 year fader and for the first 3 years dreaded that knock on the door.
I really feel for you and hope the harrassment stops soon.
most popular android app caught harvesting users contacts: facebookby daniel eran dilger.
facebook, the top-ranking free app in google play, has taken advantage of android's weak platform security to collect users' phone numbers as soon as the app is installed, highlighting core differences in apple's approach to protecting users' privacy and those of social-advertising firms like facebook and google.. .
the news of facebook's latest "leak" was outed by symantec after it analyzed various android apps using its norton mobile insight tool designed to "discover malicious applications, privacy risks, and potentially intrusive behavior.".
If it's very private or personal don't put it on the internet because at some point in the future it could come back and bite you.
i've just had the official results on my pgce.
i'm not posting here to boast, but to encourage any who may have abandoned education because of the pressure as a jw, and who may feel that it's too late to return and achieve such goals.
in the 1980s i stopped halfway through my b.ed honours and accepted a dip.h.e.
Well done Loz. You are an inspiration to us all and prove age is no barrier to learning. xxx
my daughter is visiting me from the uk and wants me to take her to the meeting, which i will do, but it's f'in killing me :( sat here crying for an hour, how pathetic is that.
the last time i spoke to her about the j dub she nearly had a breakdown.
what to do...
Feign a migraine?
i have just been going over the candace conti case and it struck me that one of the things i'd like to see come out of this case is that jehovahs witnesses stop involving children in the door to door work.
so what would you say to them to make them re-think this issue..
Is there scriptural support for sending women out?
since jws are so obsessed to disclose the pagan origin of almost everything that is giving joy, uniting family, healthy etc, i suggest we can list out all the other things that are pagan related or somehow somewhere practiced by pagans here.
the purpose?
let see how far we can go as pagan-free..
I heard lipstick was originally only worn by prostitutes to indicate they gave "certain favours".
As a "true Christian" would never do that even for her own husband what is she actually saying about herself by wearing it?
Thanks Blondie.
I am re-kindling a friendship with a very much asleep disfellowshipped sister so although I have always enjoyed and appreciated your hard work it was mainly for my own benefit.
Now I will be paying much more attention for anything I can use to help her.
Love
