That is absolutely possible. The difference here is this woman is a baptized witness of JW. That makes a huge difference as in all likelihood the husband would be disqualified.

See 1 Tim 3:4 a man presiding over his own household in a fine manner, having his children in subjection with all seriousness

Bill Maher if any of you watch him said something interesting and I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something like the following:

I will say that religious people tend to sleep easier at night when their head hits the pillow.

For most I would say this is pretty relevant. No matter your belief system death still sucks.

@EyesOpenHeartBroken (great handle/name btw) re: contracting chronic illness approach.

It just now hit me that this is exactly what someone very close to me that passed away did. I just now realized it. I hadn't thought of this person in a while but there were always comments. Now I realize why she did it.

I can attest. Crazy as it might sound to some this actually works and saves everyone grief if the husband will buy into it or look away.

There's TrueBlood and Then There's TrueMod

just want to take a moment and mention how exceptional the moderator is here @simon.

been on many many forums and you'll be pressed to find a more fair person.

he creates a safe environment where the chicanery is a minimum.

@freddo figured I should make it official, now that I look at it, it did come off a bit love-bomb-ish :)

Queued for Processing ....

by cofty in

if a new topic hangs for ages with spinning icon at "queued for processing " should you give up and post a new copy of the thread or will the eventually result in two threads?.

if it has cleared the first tick "uploading post" can you safely click away from the page?.

servers seem a bit slow recently?.

@freddo nothing like that, I don't know Simon from Adam. I'm in the biz and I know a decent Mod when I see one. Simple as that.

...well of course I thought the genuineness of the "click" was implied, what you say is absolutely true though I should have mentioned that my bad.

Just want to take a moment and mention how exceptional the moderator is here @Simon. Been on many many forums and you'll be pressed to find a more fair person. He creates a safe environment where the chicanery is a minimum. It's true my experience here is minimal however it is vast in the tech world and the world of forums.

Simon has proven to be very fair. When things get out of hand or on the cusp of erupting I've seen him close threads to prevent unnecessary comments. Some might take offense to this but this is rather prudent moderating in my experience.

I don't know Simon other than his handle. We've had opposing perspectives. He's closed threads I've started as I mentioned above. I've never spoken to him and have no way of contacting him outside of this experience. This is not a case of love bombing someone for the same of doing it. This is a case of showing appreciation where it's due.

Honestly I don't think it's appreciated what we have here.

What can you do to show appreciation?

Throw the guy a bone and click some ads. It's good to remember that users come and go. At first many are gun ho but then get on with life. Sort of a natural progression I would imagine. So while you're here every so often click on some ads. it helps. As Simon will more than attest a simple bug or minor issue you might see could take many many hours to track down at times. Supporting the site in this way helps keep it around for the next group.

We all have differing opinions on various matters. That's entirely o.k.! In fact it's really great. The other day the thread I put up had some excellent perspectives I hadn't thought of. Guess what your voice was heard! The contrary though where it becomes baiting helps no one. It makes all of us look bad actually.

Enough with the infighting, baiting, diatribes and general bashing simply because you disagree.

A very wise tech mogul said to me in the 90's "Don't make a point, make a productive contribution".

There's a good post on forum behavior here. I think it might be a good review. It was for me.

@BethSarim I can see WT monitoring it but I'm not so sure about individual bodies. My body wouldn't and didn't police in this manner.

Not saying it couldn't happen but it is kinda foreign in general. Maybe in a fact finding JC or something but on a regular basis I'm not so sure.
