When i turn the radio or tv for the LATEST news, I dont want to hear a mix of sport/weather/and new.
When i read the businees section on the newspaper, i dont want to see a comic or movie review or something of that nature.
AND if the paper has a section for the very latest news, that is what i expect to read, not a joke or a book review, or fluff.
AND if the paper has a section for FLUFF i fully expect that.
I like both orange and apples but i keep them in separate bags.
My grandmother used to say that getting a man/woman on the moon "will never work", would i argue with her?
She was not scientifc nor knowledgeable about database...
HS,
At least when i go to the "active" magazine stand or store the latest issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC is clearlly visible. It not hidding behind a comic 'fluff" magazine.
So everyone is happy, EASILY finding what THEY want... comic/National geographic, fluff/serious discussion.
up to Simon...

Simon,
This topic is one more tacit suggestion to keep things separated.
Can we have more than one (1) ACTIVE button.?
ACTIVE ALL
ACTIVE NO FLUFF (or whatever, you name it).
Everyone will be happy having that option. Even happier if the user could customize ACTIVE buttons.(search)
As you can see some seriuous topics become "INACTIVE" mainly because the ACTIVE flluff makes it go out of sight.
I understand it is hard to KIS, take your time...
i am shocked and outraged by the recent actions of the watchtower society to silence child advocates who's only agenda is to stop the rape and molestation of jehovah's witness children and protect them from the known pedophiles operating within the organization.
those in the organization who are responsible for these reprehensible actions must be sanctioned.
i sincerely hope that voting members of the watchtower society will insist on the removal of all corporate directors who support the current policies that harm children and protect pedophiles.
HS,
"how people stand in their relationship to the Organization, it is this that is the touch-stone that validates or invalidates criticism toward them
."The problem is,
No one, not even Ray could make an important criticism.. that could be validated without negatively effecting his/her "standing".
All significant criticism is invalidated...
As Ray mentioned in the TIME magazine "you can only bend so much". His "standing" was very good initially... the reason he was given the GB position.
Any solution, or alternative approach?
BTW
He worked on the two best books ever published by the WT. Aid and James commentary.
something on the song thread that i posted, song by tu pac, got me to thinking about racisim.
why do people discriminate against people that have different color skin?
i understand it is a learned response, but my "elder" father is very racist... and this is how i was raised.. i don't get it.
Ignorance
lack of proper education
just as with most other wrong human actitude
hello everyone more questions as usual, do you think praying ever helped you or was it just like talking to the air, its funny because when i was i jw i did pray a lot and convinced myself it worked,but now i think about it, did it help me or was it what i wanted to believe.i mean i always seemed to say to myself b4 yeh praying really helps me in my life and when things went right 4 me like maybe being regular as a preacher,at meetings,and doing whats was right, i felt my prayers were answered but i think these things happened because i wanted them to be that way not because of praying you know like the placebo effect.you see just because you pray 4 something and coincidently it happens does it mean your prayers worked.
"People can feel if you intend them harm, or if you intend them Love. They do not know how they know but they do feel it. "
Nomisterynosecret easy... body language, language, looks, voice tone and particulars, history of the relationship etc etc.
BTW
there are thing like magnetism,
which you dont see nor feel but can affect some material bodies without being physically in contact.
On a tangent as usual
Radio Frequency radiation can cook your potatoes at a distance. (microwave oven)
The same frequency used for celullar/pcs, just at a bit higher power... scaring.
the same kind of lawyers that were watching the tobbaco industry is watching the wireless industry.

i have grown a beard, it is a bait waiting for an elder to bite.... maybe someone will bite during the coming assembly?.
i would like them to sweat finding a scripture to support their view about not growing beards.. caballo sentado
"finding a scripture to support their view about not growing beards."
They wont find any, BUT they dont need any... to do what they think is "appropiate".
Be sure as to what you are trying to accomplish. You may as well be wasting your time trying to reason with them, rocks can't think...
Do as you please dont open your mouth and let them boil.
