what do you do when you see people holding the cardboard signs?
sunday afternoon i was driving to a day spa in seattle for a pedicure.
i was sitting at a red light and there was an older man holding a cardboard sign.
Ray-Ray, an APA researcher who manned a downtown Atlanta street corner for 120 hours in January, found that not only does virtually no one got 50 cent for the D line, man, ain't hardly nobody who can even spare a little change toward gettin' something to eat.
Now there's some fine journalism...just an example of how the level of vocabulary used in newspapers is dropping. I think where I lived in maryland it was around a 4th grade reading level.
what is a debugger and why does it always seem to start when a popup comes on to the computer screen?
i have hit yes to debug and no.... hitting yes usually is a long process and freezes my computer and hitting no usually kicks me off line.
is there a program like defragging i can run to stop this nuisance?.
it happens when there's an error in a script on a page you're viewing (usually javascript or vbscript). When it asks you to start the debugger, choose no. This is only useful for the developers of the scripts used on the page.
i turned in a request (by letter) for reinstatement last week and ive been informed that i will meeting with my original judicial committee this coming wednesday.
im very excited and happy, but at the same time i want to be careful how i conduct myself.
in the last meeting in early march, my reinstatement request was turned down.
but mavman, you know what is going to happen. Let's think about this for a bit....you enjoy learning more about God, right? I think it's pretty evident that you do by your posting on this board. If they refuse to let you back because you had such eagerness, what does that tell you about the organization? Why would you want to be a part of that?

heck, take a look at the website in his profile. Half of his responses to the questions about JW's don't even answer the question at all!
20. If Jesus returned in 1914, why did the Watchtower teach that he returned in 1874, and maintained this 1874 teaching up until 1940?he can't even recognize the flaws of the JWs when he knows full well the truth...what a sad life.Reply: Again, why have Protestants, Catholics, Pentescostals etc also done the same thing at other dates.

i recently received an alert from norton anti virus that file c:\windows\tempory internet files\conrent.ie5ktin81.2f\vcounter[1].htm was infected with a trojan horse.
i tried to repair but couldn't so i quarantined it and attempted to submit to symantec research centre......they didn't want it saying it was non repairable, they knew about it and to delete the file and replace if necessary eeeeerrrrr ddddooooo.
i sent it anyway because i didn't want it either and i'm not sure i'm capable of deleting the file.. so anyway, quarantine is now showing empty and a recent scan of my hard drive is clean.
trojan files aren't the same as files infected by viruses. It's safe to tell norton to quarantine or delete it. (it's just an html file anyways)
does anyone know if any site hosts the latest issue of the watchtower and awake online?
i heard a rumour that this was true.
i don't know about that, but i got the latest awake in the mail today....about globalism (gee, who woulda thunk it?) Didn't look too interesting...lots of boring bits in it, and a pic of the WTC on the back.
hiya, i haven't talked to you yet really, but i've been looking through as many older posts as i can and reading what you have to say.
i must say that you're one of the most knowledgable people i've seen here so far, and i value and respect your opinions a great deal.
i have a a few questions, and others can help out on them.
Yes I've seen it...and all the bethel brothers celebrating christmas. I believe it's in the "organization behind the name" brochure if I'm correct.
do you remember feeling like that when you were a jw?.
if only we were allowed to ........... (fill in the blanks stating what it was you really wanted to do, but couldn't because of your religion.
) i'll wait for someone else to start because my "if only" is a bit obvious.. englishman...
Elsewhere: that didn't stop me....I just did it in the school with the Asian chick (my ex gf). Every day I have some pretty good stories from it, like when we were caught by the janitor and almost expelled, but i'll save those for chat
do any of you other lurkers or posters ever give a thought to the poeple - not publishers - who may have helped you learn 'the truth about the the truth?
' i'm talking about ex jehovah's witnesses like myself who have been there, done that, seen the light, and are trying to shine it on others.. just over 2 years ago now when i got banished to the bottom of our earth - to a dying mining town in western tasmania on my first and last mts assignment - yours truly started wondering what the heck had become of his life.
i got lonely - real lonely - then on the net, only to find, not solace, but salvation; by discovering all the stuff i'd swallowed from the wtb&t society for the previous 20 years had really been just a pack of dated, if even manipulative theories.
i just picked up COC from the mailroom today. Going to start reading it tonight...
to answer your question uncanny, right now I'm just trying to have an open mind about things. I'm a down-to-earth person, and I prefer listening to down-to-earth people talk about the Bible (because we all know how many kooky and fanatical people are out there). I think logically, and I've been reading AlanF's posts, and some of his essays, and he makes very many valid statements. Basically what I want out of all this is to just read more of the Bible, be able to slowly steer my sister away from the borg, and have a closer relationship with God and Jesus. I also want to do the reading because I want to know for myself what I really believe and not just because it was taught to me when I was a dub. There's some things specifically I want to look into...like the trinity (I don't believe in it). Hope that answers your question about my questions

garybuss: I'd be interested in hearing the comments they made about it
