a critique of suzi mayhem's theory of god .
i thought, when suzi first posted this, that it was a joke something like john cleese's classic "brontosaurus theory" skit in a monty python episode.
but mr. "dark clouds" has sort of asked me to critique it as if it were a serious theory, so here goes.. i'll address this to suzi, but suzi dear, don't take this too seriously.
Where'd the photo go? Here on the other side of the world, I was asleep when it was posted, now it's gone! 
Julie in Menopause? Ohhhh boy, are YOU ever in for some fun! lololol
I haven't quite made it there yet, but I'm sure hubby will probably want to run when I get there. I'm mean enough without it!

It is commonly used as "more stupid", Six. Stupider, even though granted, is a word, just sounds... well...STUPID.
Now, to comment on your copyright post:
1) the purpose and character of the use. Seems to be parody, ( http://www.publaw.com/parody.html) with a bit of education and comment and critisism thrown in. Not to mention parody and comment in a discussion forum wherein the pic is linked by the complainer itself. Huge fair use points to Alan.
I don't agree. Criticism in this sense is meant as "Critiqueing the work itself" and that is not what the work was being used for.
Granted, very few judges, if any, would grant damages to Suzy for Alan using her picture in a discussion forum. It all comes down to common sense. But the picture itself, IS PROTECTED by the Copyright law. And that's what Suzy told Alan, and Suzy was right. Now whether she could get a court of law to make it stick IN THIS INSTANCE OF USE, that's another story altogether.
2) The nature of the work. no comment)the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. Now you see why I was laughing out loud?
I still don't agree with your logic. You're just basically making fun of Suzy's work here. Low blow, Six. I didn't think her work itself was bad, and she DOES have a copyright on it. I think personally that it should be respected, to a certain extent. She WAS polite about it, although granted she is less than polite in her wording of things most of the time.
Let me make this clear: I'm not defending Suzy's usual behavior. I'm defending her right to request that her work not be used without her permission. And even though Alan changed her work (and it was damned funny how he changed it, too!) I agree that he SHOULD have changed it out of respect for her request. And he did so, rather nicely, I think.

Well, here we go, I'll jump in again. Suzi, although you're LEGALLY correct in your position on Copyright, and Six should just shut up and admit it, I still totally agree with Mommy's assessment of your actions since you joined the forum. That was what I was TRYING to get across to you in the other thread in the announcements section. Think about it. I think your reaction is totally outsized to the actual injury.

i turned to this website looking for encouragement.. i thought it was a genuine jw chat site.. what do i find?.
most who write here, don't belive in the jw teachings.. most are complainers and apostate.. does any one know were i can find a genuine jw site?
Let's see, Joanne..that's about the "5th" time, I would say, that "Sue" has been reminded of the 99 KM since he/she started to post. I repeat what Skimmer had to say:
PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLL!

I have to jump in and say, Six, Suzi's right on this one. You DON'T know what you're talking about. Maybe it would be a wise decision to stop while you're behind. Btw, there's no such word as "stupider". Better go look it up in your english manual.

Oh Aaron, puh-leeze... do you honestly think they're going to listen to a rabid fundie? Get real!
Jurs, a very good example would be the orders they gave back in the awake of '69 NOT to get an education, that it would be a waste of time. Tell them you don't plan on pushing a broom and washing windows for a living when you're 42 and the new system is still "just around the corner". Yeah, right. Frankly, I would just say to them that I don't want to be a part of an organization that preaches love and teaches hate instead.
Good luck!

over the last ten years or so i`ve seen and heard things which when.
looked at objectively can only be termed `craziness`.however, in some.
cases these episodes of craziness might be viewed as wonderful testimonies to a strong commitment to jahovah.
A young lady who was receiving opposition for attending meetings at
the local KH learned to devise ways to get to the meetings.She would
say,`I`m going shopping` and then head off for the KH before her
husband noticed.On one occasion she went into the bathroom and crawled
out the window and scurried off to the Kingdom Hall.After her husband
realized that she had gone, he followed her to the Hall and after
convincing the bros. to let him in asked where his wife was.Everyone
pretended that they didn`t know.The husband went to the bathroom
where his wife was hiding in one of the stalls.Two sisters were standing guard on either side of the stall.They lied and told the husband that she wasn`t there. Perhaps they were thinking of Rahab?
Now, I'll be the last person to tell you to become a JW, but in this particular instance, I believe it was the husband who was crazy. He was controlling and no doubt about it. Even if he didn't like his wife going to the KH, he didn't have the right to do what he did. As far as I know, the USA is still a free country and being married doesn't change that freedom.
One day after work he came home to find his wife making a bonfire in
their front lawn. She had pulled out all the books and critical
literature which he had collected and piled it in front of the
house in his absence and started a fire.
In this instance, the WIFE was showing definite controlling tactics. She was in the wrong, definitely. Just who was the adult, here? I would no more dream of burning something I didn't want my husband to read than I could flap my arms and fly to the moon. It's all a matter of basic respect for the other person's rights. The same goes for Episode three. These women exhibited very controlling behavior. Would they like for their husbands to rip THEIR literature to bits and pieces?
The last two are just ignorance in action. Okay, there's my .02.

if we take a critical view on the last weeks events on this board, there is maybe a thing or two to consider.
the board has seen a kind of war, and sarcasms and caustic remarks have been more the rule than the exception in some threads.
usually these ends up adding something positive to the community or the forum where the war raged, and its much like a thunderstorm.
