  MSN-Hotmail Anonymity

  by book_friend in

  it appears msn has completely taken over hotmail accounts.

  in the past hotmail was said to provide the most thorough anonymity while msn email left more readily detectable tracks to originator.

  so is the anonymity of the msn-hotmail accounts now greatly, or partly or even fully cut out?

  i had a follow up phone call from the mormons today wanting to arrange for house visit no.

  2. the first visit had been a game where i asked questions and they wriggled about a bit so as not to address them -- it brought back dub memories, i'm telling you.. it went like this.... who will survive the world's judgement day?

  only mormons and exceptional individuals.. how about me?

  iano: thanks for the link.

  I saw this:
  

  In 1823 Joseph had another heavenly visitation, in which an angel named Moroni told him of a sacred history written by ancient Hebrews in America

  So, is this where the name "Mormon" originated?

  Another good site for "anonymous surfing" is www.safeweb.com. I tested posting to this site while inside safeweb, and after 2 posts I was "blocked." No big deal.

  It's good for surfing job sites such as monster.com or joboptions.com if your IS department is nosy and tracks your steps. Their logs only show that you accessed safeweb.com. There's a whole article about privacy in the most recent issue of maximum pc (www.maximumpc.com).

  Cheers,
  Reagan

  Studying

  i flat out asked the jw i'm studying with what she would do if someone was disfellowshipped and she was honest and said she wouldn't talk to them since they wouldn't be good examples of jehovah witness.

  then we started talking about appearances and tattoos, and about my pink hair :) and she said it didn't matter.

  i am enjoying reading and visiting this web site but i am just not seeing the same things you guys have.

  Heya, Tat girl (I'm in good company, since I've got one myself...)

  Please think about this....

  If I am a used car salesman trying to sell you a car, I show you what good shape the body is in, the new tires, the low mileage... I play up the good things.

  I don't tell you about the cracked head gasket, the transmission problems I had last year, the oil leak, or the gasoline odor if you run the AC on the expressway and do over 65 mph.

  When someone is selling you something, they are not always honest and straightforward. I am not suggesting that the JW who is studying with you is a bad person (she's doing what she has been told is right). But if I want to sell you my car, I'm going to tell you anything you want to hear in order to get you to sign on the dotted line.

  My parents don't speak to me anymore because I am no longer a JW. They are letting their religious beliefs come between them and their child, their son-in-law, and eventually, our children. Stop and think about how crazy that is! A religion that encourages you to separate from your own family! I'm not a horrible person -- I'm not a thief, an alcoholic, a drug abuser, or a prostitute. What is so evil about me that they refuse to have a relationship with me?

  I decided not to be a Witness.

  I was born into it, I didn't have a choice.

  If I was a vegetarian, and I told you that because you eat meat I can't talk to you... doesn't that sound stupid?

  A young Irishman sits down for a pint at his local pub, and soon the Scot on the stool next to him strikes up a conversation.

  "You see the fishing pier out that window?" asks the Scot. "I built that pier with me own bare hands. But do they call me 'MacGregor the Pier-maker?' No." And he takes a drink of his whisky.

  "You see the beautiful bar you're seated at? I planed it down with me own achin' back. But do they call me 'MacGregor the Bar-maker?' No." And he takes a drink of his whisky.

  "You see that long, stone fence in the distance? I built that fence by meself, stone upon stone. But do they call me 'MacGregor the Fence-maker?' No." And he takes a drink of his whisky.

  "But you fuck one goat."

  Two rednecks were walking down a dirt path. One of them had a big potato sack over his shoulder. The other asked what was in the sack.

  The first redneck said, "I got me some chickens for dinner tonight. Mmm Mmm Mmm... Chicken sure will hit the spot tonight!"

  The second redneck asked, "how many chickens are in the sack?"

  "Well I'll tell you what," replied the first redneck. "If you can guess how many chickens I got in this here sack I'll give 'em both to you!"

  Hi, Susan:

  Your post was too nice for the likes of me .

  Thanks for the clarification on the temple ordinances. I was talking to a Mormon that works in my Salt Lake City office, and we were joking around about the continued polygamy that exists among some Mormon extremists. He was a bit embarrassed by the discussion (shedding bad light on the decent Mormons) and I replied that there are extremists in every religion, Catholic and Protestant.

  My old roommate and I discussed at length what we referred to as "vasectomy research." We suggested that medical facilities receive private funding to set up centers to perform vasectomies on men. The men would receive $500 a piece for submitting to the procedure... all in the name of "research," of course. We talked about setting up similar clinics to perform tubal ligations for women, but men are able to recover from vasectomies much faster than women do from tubals.

  I actually saw a new story several months ago (20/20 perhaps) that profiled a woman who had started a women's clinic performing tubals in California (I think) for mothers who've given birth to numerous state-supported drug-addicted children.

  'some of us' are pshycially mature...we are sometimes the COMPLET opposite in our mental capacity???

  Sure... even Fred Hall has a penis.

  someone asked me to post some of the material i have collected regarding how jws treat kids during their meetings.

  the following was culled from my raw files.

  Geez... I thought we had it bad...

  My Mom, the "good elder's wife" that she is, was fond of the wooden spoon. I remember once she smacked my sister so hard on the butt that there was a bruise in the shape of the spoon.

  Wouldn't you know it, something happened to Sister and they had to taker her to the E.R. Mom said later she was so paranoid that one of the doctors would see the bruise and think she was abusing her children....

  ...um, maybe that's because she WAS!!!

  I stated in an earlier thread that I'm all for punishment, but the punishment should fit the crime. I believe in spanking, but only as an absolute last resort. And never with a belt or a wooden spoon. For God's sake. And we wonder why we live in such a violent society...

  Somebody give me more info about the "secret handshakes" thing. We have Mormon friends (Oxymoron, I know -- or is that, "oxymormon" hahaha) coming in town to go bowling or something equally non-alcoholic.
