Sour Grapes, what is the source for this. While parts of it sound legit (and I personally know some of the men named), other parts sound completely crazy?

Also, the number of typos makes me question its legitimacy. If nothing else, the WT Corporation is anal about spelling and grammar.

Please explain how you came into possession of this?

Thanks,

Simon: I'll be adding a 'topics posted on' soon, there is already a 'topics started by' facility.

How does that work? I can't access it. Maybe because there's an issue with my thread count statistics.

Surprise ! Surprise ! 2015 Arrives and NO Armageddon or World's " End " - Go Figure

by flipper in

jw
friends

i guess 99.9 % of ex-jw's here could have predicted as much .

armageddon didn't happen in 1914. it didn't happen in 1925. it didn't happen in 1975. and it did not happen in 2014. since the wt society first predicted a world's end when their organization started in 1879 - 126 years have passed which according to any dictionary in any human language 126 years comprises of 4 separate generations each totaling 30 years each.

plus 6 years into a 5th generation.

I will go out on a limb and make a prediction that I would unhesitatingly share with any JW:

Armageddon is not going to come anytime soon. In fact, it will never come in your lifetime.

Everyone you now know will die and so will you.

So you're better off living your own life according to your desires and values. Do what is personally fulfilling to you and discard the delusions of a bunch of ignorant old men in Brooklyn, men that lack the honesty and humility to admit that they have no idea when Jesus meant.

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,

I hope you're feeling better!

Is there a way to find either "Topics Started" or "Topics Posted To"?

I really liked those features of the old forum.

BTW, I've noticed threads no longer have the date posted on them.

That is a nice thing for accuracy of knowing when something was posted.

Thanks,

New layout feels very chaotic

by EndofMysteries in

i don't really know how to describe the feeling but i'll give examples, but the new layout to me makes it feel tiring being on for too long.

1. there is the top menu, then a big add between that and the next part, a big ad between the bottom and where you reply, then on the right column you either have 2 ads on top or some type of summary, then ad, then either related posts or other areas.

there are no borders, the adds have the same color and text type but larger font, and it all seems chaotically merged into one thing where you need to constantly sort out what you are viewing.
