Site issues: Dec 30 Update

by Simon in

first of all, some apologies - i had planned to spend the last couple of days getting everyone signed in to the new site and sorting account issues out but i wasn't getting over the flu as i thought, i got worse.

i've probably had 4 hours sleep in the last few days.

anything that requires too much thinking isn't going to happen right now.

Simon, please don't worry about all of us, just take care of yourself and get some rest. Pretty sure we'll survive without updates for a bit. :D

Hi, Simon - So your sync worked and my "minus one" message count reset properly to zero. But tonight, it shows 18 new messages and while it would be fun to be that popular...I really have no new messages, so it seems the sync is unsynced again.

Thanks!

The wts is nothing more than a real estate company using unwitting members to fund their purchases.

Wake up, people....please wake up.

Still watching, but had to share these well-made points:

1. Religion should not be hereditary. (If it's your personal relationship with the god of your choosing, it should have nothing to do with anyone else.)

2. Anytime you've taken away a child's freedom of choice, you've taken away that child's spirit.

every meeting there's a new plea for money?!

by purrpurr in

wow!

i haven't been here for a while and everything's changed!.

anyway i've been really noticing how at every meeting it seems there's yet another new thing that needs funding or another reminder to donate.

cultBgone

PurrPurr, good to see you again. Great topic, thanks for the post.

Kaik, thanks for sharing your mom's feelings, it helps us all to know that many of the dubs are questioning the money trail.

BerryGerry, thanks for sharing this great film clip. Definitely sheds light on the fact that religion is a sales racket.

My dub aunt thinks Obama is mentioned in the bible.

by Jehovah lol in

she's not even american and doesn't live in the usa so it's not even her area of political awareness really.

she seems convinced that obama is the prophesied wolf in sheep's clothing mentioned in revelation.. it's unusual for non-us dubs to hold the weirder beliefs, so this is a new one for me.

she also said that the end is very close now and that things are a foot with north korea; it's clearly the king of the north.. she said exactly the same thing 5 years ago about china, and exactly the same thing 10 years ago about iraq.. derp derp..

cultBgone

Welcome to the forum, jah LOL!

Interesting observation and thanks for sharing. In the US, I'm not sure the dubs even know what "king of the north" means. I guarantee my family members could not explain it.

Do current JWs like to have Bible discussions?

by Magnum in

on another thread rufus t. firefly made this interesting comment:.

my wife is a "zealous" regular pioneer who never talks about the bible or "the truth" and who has no interest in conducting a bible study with anyone.

this is how one remains a jw.. i decided to start a new thread to discuss this, since i didn't want to veer completely off the topic of the original thread.. i can relate to what rufus said - not concerning my wife, but other close jw family members.

cultBgone

Magnum, I see the same thing and saw it well before I faded. Years ago, you were considered spiritual if you enjoyed bible discussions, but I don't see that happening anymore.

On the plus side, whenever I wish to make a point without sounding "apostate", I just use the bible as my reference point...along with the ever-popular "would Jesus do that?"
