Dont forget that many apps are created over seas, places like China, Indonesia, Taiwan, etc, that don't acknowledge US copyright laws and look for any and every niche and avenue, to make money. This could even be someone with more sinister intentions...

We could keep going. Take Sunday for example. Day of the Sun. Derived from astrology. Perhaps they should refer to that day, and at least some of the other days of the week, as something else, given their pagan and astrological origins. And, while we're at it, why is their most important meeting held on Sunday?...

Diogenesister, while I can see it from your point of view, the word fortune comes from the latin, Fortuna. Fortuna was the Roman goddess of luck or chance.
But it very much proves my point in that, though the word derives from pagan origins, it has evolved to a somewhat different meaning in our day.
Fortunately; ie, things went well despite the probability of something going wrong.
Unfortunately; ie, something went wrong, despite best efforts to avoid problems.
It would be next to impossible to converse (at least in the English language) and not, at some point, use one of those two words.

It would be nice if this forum went back to the basics

but simply i would like to see just news and insights from the local congregation to the top organization level of: downsizing, closings, c.s.a.
personal experiences,unscriptural doctrines of the org.and direct commentary of the above.

Cofty, It's easy to say "not to impose my opinion", followed by an opinion where you'd like to see others posts restricted to certain topics only. It's still wishing to impose your opinion, and hoping someone will dictate what can and cant be discussed.

Dictating what others should or shouldn't reasonably be able to do here, sounds like a familiar trait. I see some things here I don't agree with, just like I see things elsewhere on the net, as well as daily life, work, tv, billboards, etc... Guess what, I have the right to bitch about it, or ignore it, and go along my merry way, choosing to not let it effect me. Its nice to have those choices, and I'm happy that others have the right to voice their opinions, even if they differ from mine. As Morpheus said, the scroll past feature works well, learning to use it is often good for ones mental health.

I have heard "good luck" said in the hall, by an elder, from the platform. As with many things, while deemed inappropriate because of its origin, it has become a figure of speech in our modern era. Depending on a JW's personality and rationale, they will be more or less inclined to use it. True, it is frowned upon, and the society has admonished its followers of its pagan origins, but it's one of those things that, if not said often, and in front of brother stringent, it would be shrugged off. Now, if you ask any of them if using "good luck" is acceptable by a Christian, well good luck getting any answer other than no.
I was was once admonished that saying "unfortunate" was bad, as it was a derivative of fortune (as in fortune telling). How can a person using the English language not use the words fortunate or unfortunate (fortunately, unfortunately), at some point? They have become an ingrained part of our language and evolved in their meaning, beyond what the initial root word intended.
...but, you could use that in your argument. Ask if they have a problem using the words fortunate, unfortunate.

I Got My Best Friend Back
by Saethydd inyesterday morning i woke up to an incredibly unexpected text message on my phone.
my best friend from before i was disfellowshipped had sent me a really long message.
he apologized for the way things had been and told me how much he missed me, and then he told he respected my decision, that he understood and didn't harbor any bad feelings against me for it, that all he wants is for me to be happy.. i responded to his message and told him that if he wanted me to explain my reasons i would, but that we needn't discuss them if he would rather not.

Congrats! There's nothing like reuniting with a long lost, close friend. I hope he continues to think for himself and your friendship continues to thrive.

anyhow i was walking down my driveway with the purpose of going around to my outside fence to spray poison along the fence boundary.. across the road were two witness ladies talking together on the opposite side of the road and could clearly see me coming out of my house.
i proceeded to rake away newly mowed grass to better expose the area i was going to poison along my fence.. when the two ladies ,maybe 40`s and 50`s ?
