  Like / Dislike Display Issue

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  just a heads up, since the last update the like / dislike votes sometimes don't display immediately due to caching.

  they are all definitely counted though and will appear eventually, the issue is purely with the display part.

  i'll look at fixing the cache so it's more immediate..

  So it appears that when the call went out for people to assist with the republishing effort, almost nobody responded with tangible help. How admirable!

  ...and you wonder why nothing happens. The Israelites were from the "bitch and moan" class the tradition continues...

  Unless an Atlas comes along with shoulders wide enough to carry a project by him (or her) self, there is little in the way of truly cooperative efforts.

  To all elders, some probing questions on assault by a member by another member.

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  the title should have read, "assault by a member toward another member".

  (unfortunately, i couldn't find a way to edit the title).

  you happen to be driving by what looks to be your own empty kingdom hall and something doesn't look quite right.

  According to Google each day 151,600 people die each day.

  Death is a natural conclusion of life.

  Your troublesome sibling ought to meditate that soon it will be their turn.

  It is foolish to risk your life for nothing -- and you WILL be risking your life -- do you think that everyone survives donor surgery?

  You cannot save the world, and you cannot save those too dumb to want saving.

  My condolences.

  I sent the copyright holder $1,000 to assist with publishing costs. Did anyone else send her contributions?

  I'm very disappointed.

  Time and circumstance befall us all, and some are just cheats, grifters and theives.

  My Grandfather has been bleeding.

  my grandfather has been bleeding and the doctors suspect it could be the medication.

  any way i was with my father coming out of the doctors office.

  when he matter of fact told me that they wouldn't be taking him up to the hospital for a blood transfusion.

  Are these tests written or oral? Essay or multiple choice? I'll never understand the health-care system you have in (insert country name here).

  They may find their time is best spent looking for a wound. Wounds are nearly always a source of bleeding. They ought to start by having him remove most of his clothing too, because embarrassment and/or a chill can aid clotting, I think.

  Need input: elders showed up at our door today

  by de-opresso-liber in

  so as i announced last week, my wife and i started our fade and i sent in a letter to our body that i was stepping down and cited the arc as the reason and insisted that we not be bothered.

  my wife told a few relatives in person that we weren't going to attend meetings any longer (immediate shunning occurred, the new videos must be effective) and that what we found with the arc shocked us etc etc.

  i have an inside track on how this is all going down by an awake elder on the body, co told them to handle the matter quickly.

  "Faded" is a very common Icelandic transitive adjective that relates to the 23 sounds made by creeping ice under the light of a full moon.

  I think it is cool (thermally speaking) that you know someone from Iceland.

  If they throw you under the bus, is it OK to take blood?

  ...as a snack, I mean.
