  Log-on security

  by GoodGuyGreg in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  just a suggestion from old paranoid me: the logon process on this forum evaluates the username and password parts of the credentials separately, from what i see.

  giving clues to valid usernames opens up a couple of nasty and probably unwanted attack vectors (including searching for suspected members by their known mail addresses).

  i do understand that it simplifies the interaction with less computer literate users, though.. if the current process is there by design, or if i've misunderstood it, i'll just shut my mouth, but at least i want to have warned against it.

  Evolution is a Fact #12 - Lenski's E. coli Experiment

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  evolution works by the non-random selection of random mutation.

  natural selection accumulates favourable random chance events.. the experiment that was began on 24th february 1988 on e coli bacteria by dr richard e. lenski and his team is surely one of the clearest demonstrations of the power of this process.. e.coli is one of the commonest bacterium on earth, there is around 100 billion, billion of them in the world at any given time and around 1 billion of them in your gut right now.

  most of the time they cause no problem, until a new strain wreaks havoc on its host's digestive system.. if we assume the probability of a particular gene mutating to be 1 in a billion, the size of the population is so high that just about every gene in the e.coli genome will have mutated somewhere in the world every day.

  New way to fade?

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a brother in a local congregation has successfully faded, no announcements or judicial hearings that anyone has heard of.. his immediate family are all out, but they have lots of family still in.. if he had joined another religion, or the army, or put up christmas lights, likely the elders would be hounding them like crazy.. but no, he has accepted evolution(it seems to be common knowledge).. i would have thought this would be a disfellowshipping offense, but lots of time has passed, and they just leave them all alone..

  How Did "Shepherding Calls" Go For You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you loath them?

  did you feel it was a "privilege" to have the elders care deeply about your spiritual well being?

  if you were an elder or ministerial servant, did you enjoy going to the homes of the sheep?.

  IS Science Absolute Truth

  by seekchristonly in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if we have faith in science and scientific claims about the universe, origins of life etc.

  is that absolute truth.

  if so then if they declare that god exists with evidence then do all those who believe in science then believe in god or a creator.

  Will the jw's get all excited about Russia in the Ukraine?

  by hoser in

  2. friends

  usually when world events like this take place the dubs start into how the end must be so close they can almost taste it.

  maybe there will be some speculation about the king of the north and south again.
