Congregation that have sent in money!
by DwainBowman inin the past week, i have heard from a number of friends scattered all over the place.
a number of them are very upset over the congregation being required, to send in all monies over $4,000.
a number of these were kh's that were saving to buy land, and or build new kh's.

All these poor suckers can do is ask the all-powerful Jehovah, the great adjudicator, to help them out or perhaps strike them dead at Armageddon; due any day now. On the sorry trade! -

2015 has an extra second is anyone afraid?
by truthseeker100 inthe year 2015 will have an extra second which could wreak havoc on the infrastructure powering the internet.. at 11:59 p.m. on june 30, clocks will count up all the way to 60 seconds.
that will allow the earth's spin to catch up with atomic time.. the earth's spin is gradually slowing down, by about two thousandths of a second per day, but atomic clocks are constant.
that means that occasionally years have to be lengthened slightly, to allow the slowing earth to catch up with the constant clock.. but last time it happened, in 2012, it took down much of the internet.

Every second counts.
The end of this old system and its overlapping generations could be nano-seconds closer than we think.
It behooves us to be mindful of the importance of the slowing march of time and how it f**** up Watchtower. predictions.

Islam is a religion of Peace
by Coded Logic inwarning: poes law may apply.
i just wanted to take a moment and remind everyone that all muslims are good people.
"real" muslims would never kill in the name of their religion .

"I can only judge on the individuals I have met. None of them have ever killed anyone or planned to. "
I don't doubt you for a moment Kate. Even so, people are judged by the company they keep and the beliefs they share. The reign of Muslim terror will only be stopped by members who disagree walking away whatever the cost. If they choose to stay, then they are helping to support their leaders.
Muslims stay, regardless of the atrocities that are carried out, because they love Allah and believe they have the truth. If millions of Muslims disapprove of the violence, then they should publicly say so.

Kate..."Sadly many don't realise that not all Muslims are killers and take the Koran literally and tar all with one brush, when in fact most Muslims especially women and children are victims of this high control religion and don't know how to escape."
Kate, what makes you think that most Muslim women and children want to escape?
They want to stay and be rewarded by Allah because they believe they have the truth. They look up to their elders and share the same opinion of infidels as their men do.
They can't just hide behind their veils and their men and pretend that what their leaders do is nothing to do with them. Or maybe with enough apologists speaking up for them, they can continue to do just that.

Is Islam a religion of peace?
Check out the latest news from France:
"The two main suspects in the Islamist attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris are said to have robbed a service station in the north of France.
They stole food and petrol, firing shots as they struck at the roadside stop near Villers-Cotterets in the Aisne region, French media report.
France has observed a minute's silence for the 12 people killed at the office of the satirical magazine."

Negative forum behavior
by Simon inanother good codinghorror blog entry perfectly describes some people's online behaviour and an approach to handling it.
i'll post part of it below but to summarize, these tend to be behaviours that don't violate any specific rules as such as the people doing it try to carefully skate just up to the line but they are nevertheless disruptive and we're not going to tolerate them on this site.
if you are here to do these things then this isn't the site for you - move along, find someplace else on the internet to inhabit.. hate is easy to recognize.

"We tend to notice what we think are injustices far more than things we agree with. Often people only see the outcome and none of the other communication or how people react to it or chose to respond which is a large part of any issue being resolved with either a positive or negative outcome."
This is a fair point; most of us don't get to see inside the machine.

Was the Watchtower Society ever a religion? Russell seemed sincere but Rutherford was a business man and a mason. It is now just a money grabbing enterprise trying to stay afloat. Where is Noah when you need him? -

This is a well thought out appraisal. Unfortunately the unacceptable behavior guide-lines have been crossed by the most prolific posters; past and now deleted and those that are presently still posting. The atheists are shown more tolerance. That suits me because I am an atheist. It's a stance I don't disapprove of; I am just making a constructive observation.

Yeah, I too was raised on a mind boggling diet of modern-day Ezekiel & Revelation prophecy fulfillment garbage. It has all turned out to be utter nonsense; wild guesses based on the ramblings of deluded biblical writers who were themselves nutters.
The governing body of the Watchtower Society should hang their heads in shame and apologize for the failure of their predecessors. Instead, they will just continue to make ever louder proclamations of being led by their mythical god Jehovah of Armies.
The JWs have given their life's resources to this corrupt, power hungry organization in return for a pocketful of mumbles - oh the sorry trade.

Poster country flags and privacy
by Simon inthe new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).
before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.
first, the reason i think it should be shown:.
