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:.

Still pointing your Finger when having a Rafter in your eye?
by DocHouse inyes- everyone has faults and makes mistakes; an organization even more so.. yet, you ignore all the fingers pointing at you.. many here have no faith.
many here go to churches who lie about everything biblical; look at x-mas!.
but at least we know god and christ and try to live up to their name!.

to DorkHouse:
"The freest anyone ever is occurs when they care enough about their integrity to search for the truth.
The most enslaved anyone ever is occurs when they are constrained enough to announce they've found the truth and, to protect their pride, stop the search."

And Shirley brings the games back.
No games. I'm exposing your false assertions.
MOST of what the WT teaches is true- but a lot of baloney has been added. Again.
Please make a list of the "most of's" for us... and why you think healthy doses of bulls**t are acceptable in an organization that is supposed to be teaching 100% truth.
Only vidiots rest their views on videos.
Why not TELL us all what the so-called 'gospel' of Churchianity is, hmmmmmmmmm?
I don't rest my views on videos- they are an additional evidence. But, this one is a clear, real-world example that shows how ignorant your claims are.
BTW- your question about the gospel of Christianity is also answered in the video... and if you weren't so obviously uninterested in confusing your present mindset with facts you'd already know this.

NEW LIGHT ALERT! TARGET 2015 END TIMES! EVE WAS CREATED 40 YEARS AFTER ADAM! THE END IS NEAR!
by Trailer Park Pioneer inthis is going around the kingdom halls now, i thought it was a hoax but are not all the end time dates produced by the organization some hoax or con?
the reason why the end did not come in 1975 was the watchtower society had not put eve's creation in their equation.
i was told when we had a "meet and greet" if "we knew the date of eve's creation we would know the year jehovah was going to destroy the earth.. it's been 40 years since 1975, can you believe it's been 40 years since "stay alive till 1975!"?

Vidiot: Yeah; say what you will, but the guy never did anything half-assed.
He seemed to have no problem diving headfirst into an unfamiliar creek... despite the fact it obviously had no water in it.

Thanks everyone for your comments and for occasionally resurrecting my story on this thread. I'm glad my story resonates with members here and hopefully it has, or will, help those struggling with their lives in regard to WT.
I appreciate all of you very much...

@ DorkHouse: The Truth stands on its own- but a lot of absurd opinion is still being ADDED to it...you are corrtect on the baloney the WTBS has ADDED to the good news. Yet Churchianity doesn't even KNOW about the good news.
So, in you opinion, what WT teaches is "absurd" and "baloney", yet it's still truth??? Please correlate those two diametrically opposed concepts...
@DorkHouse: 1914 IS pinpointed in Daniel's prophecies.
Read every Bible you can get a hold of... not one will mention the date 1914. It is a fictional date arrived at by dishonest mental gymnastics and pure fantasy.
Just curious: why do you accept the 1914 date WT teaches? Isn't this the same organization that is, by your own admission, full of baloney and absurdities??
As far as your argument that WT/JWs preach the good news and all other Christians are clueless, I beg to differ. This video absolutely obliterates your claim on both accounts. Watch what happens at 3:45 in the video (watch the entire thing to put it in context):

@ bohm: Kate, seeing you have read my 5800 posts and determined i have provided no revealing details, perhaps you could just read everyones posts and determine for us all if this was a problem?
I've already done it. It took me about two hours to do it but it got done.
Everyone's good to go, no dangerous information revealed from anyone.

... the seventh period of a thousand years of human history will begin in the fall of 1975
P.S. I forgot to add:
The Fredster had this nailed down even more specifically to September the 5th at sundown, 1975.
I guess Freddie firmly believed in being super-duper wrong rather than laughably wrong.

From the most reliable investigations of Bible chronology, (...) we find that Adam was created in the autumn of the year 4026 B.C.E. Sometime in that same year Eve could well have been created, directly after which God's rest day commenced. In what year, then, would the first 6,000 years of man's existence and also the first 6,000 years of God's rest day come to an end? The year 1975. (Awake! October 8, 1966, p. 19)
-----
CT Russell used exactly the same reasoning to conclude that the sixth milennium from Adam's creation ended in... wait. for. it....1872:
"In this chapter we present the Bible evidence which indicates that six thousand years from the creation of Adam were complete with A.D. 1872; and hence that, since A.D. 1872 are chronologically entered upon the seventh thousand or the Millennium." (Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 2, p. 33, 1889)
No wait, er... 1874:
"Here we furnish the evidence that from the creation of Adam to (but not including) A.D. 1873 was six thousand years. (Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 2, p. 39. 1889)
Yes, DEFINITELY 1874.
Enter: Fred Franz-
"According to this trustworthy Bible chronology six thousand years from man's creation will end in 1975, and the seventh period of a thousand years of human history will begin in the fall of 1975 C.E Six thousand years of man's existence on earth will soon be up, yea within this generation. The rein of Christ...to run parallel with the 7th millennium ..." (Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God, 1966, p. 29-30)
Stupid is as stupid does.
