  Automatic log-out after a period of inactivity on this site?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  hi simon,.

  i noticed that most financial sites like banks have an automatic log out after some time of inactivity.. could a similar thing work here perhaps?.

  if someone has logged on, but not used the site for say 20 minutes, could they be logged out and have to reenter the passwords?.

  That would prevent someone accidentally leaving their log-ins and username visible if they leave the computer accidentally open....and save some potential issues for those fading...

  I sympathize with faders but what you call "accidentally" I call "carelessly." My suggestions:

  • Log in using an incognito/private window.
  • "I am not on a public computer." <---leave this unchecked.
  • Never let your browser remember the password for this site.
  • Get into the habit of quitting your browser completely when you leave your computer.
  • Consider using one browser only for this site, and another browser for the rest of your web surfing, and again, completely quit it when you're done.

  Financial institutions log you out automatically because it cuts down on fraud/theft claims which saves them money. They don't care about your security.

  CLAM Video: Aug 8-14 2016 – “Older Ones - You Have an Important Role”

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  this video portrayed an elderly widowed sister who was a former pioneer and now reduced to submitting field service reports of 15 minute increments.

  she was also portrayed as quite frail in that she ambulates with the use of a quad rollator frame.

  she was very neatly attired and groomed and what the video showed of her apartment conveyed everything perfectly tidy to a level which would have relaxed an ocd sufferer.

  Elders can only get so close to younger sisters without arousing suspicion. It makes sense to have older sister--who has tons of spare time-- befriend younger sister and get her to spill guts to older sister. Then because older sister is so loyal and indoctrinated she will feel compelled to snitch to the elders as she is trained to do. Younger sister is hauled into a JC before she knows what hit her. A very important role, indeed.

  Shepherding Visit Riposte

  if an elder approaches you and wants to arrange a shepherding call one possible response is..... "well thankyou brother, but jehovah is my shepherd.

  i shall lack nothing.

  (ps 23:1) but thanks again anyway".

  "You are rejecting Jehovah's theocratic order." That's what they'd say.

  when i first met my wife and on that so important first date i was 21 years old and sadly broke, she was an 18 year old au pair.

  any way i treated her to mcdonald's but she had to pay for the meal.

  now over 20 years later and still together, i realize how lucky i was she didn't say on that first date " if you can't afford to pay "our" mcdonald's meal f...off" .

  Whoever asks for the date pays or

  Whoever chooses the restaurant (or movie, or activity) pays or

  Become gay so it's always the man (or woman) who pays.

  Happiness and Freedom On A Paradise Earth?

  by Disassociated Lady 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at a recent meeting there was a watchtower article about life in paradise.

  they were saying that even when witnesses finally get there they will still be under the strict instructions from the elders and gb.

  they may be given jobs that they will find unpleasant, also the preaching work will be ongoing because of all the resurrected people who need to learn about why they are given another chance.

  The paradise earth doesn`t begin after armageddon , it doesn`t start till after the thousand years of Jesus Christ`s reign when Satan & his demons are let loose for a time and then finally destroyed.

  Sounds like Jehovah is playing a cat and mouse game with Satan-- playing with his prey before gobbling it up. Why let Satan run loose before destroying him? What's the point?

  Why are the atheists on this site so hateful?

  by HopeEverLasting in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all us creationists try to do is offer true evidence that the one and only god is out there watching and looking down on us.

  we present that certain scientists know the truth about god and that he is everything that we see from trees, life, weather, the air we breath, and even the most simple molecules.

  but of course you atheists reject it because it is your nature to not be humble and see god because you want to rule your own life.

  You say that like it's a bad thing.

  The major news programmes at 6, 9 and 10 pm on BBC One never get moved as a rule. Also the BBC2 Newsnight programme at 10:30. So the Olympic coverage gets switched during the news. In the UK you can also press the "Red Button" and select a menu of Olympic events that are being streamed simultaneously.

  If it's to avoid preempting news that makes sense. But I was trying to follow men's gymnastics and it seemed like every 15 minutes they were shifting it around not for news, but to cover another sport. I'll pay more attention next time.

  A "red button" too? I was already jealous of you guys, you didn't have to rub it in.
