My old computer is dead: long live my new CHROMEBOOK

i had my previous toshiba laptop plugged into the wall five days ago when a sudden electric storm drove a jagged bolt of electricity earthward and fried my hard drive.

i posted my sad status on facebook.

guess who saw it?

Stop being a winer.. you actually know absolutely zero about me. A flaw I have no interest in rectifying. My entire comment is not about Terry so your need to defend 'him' is ridiculous. My comments are merely about technology. After over 25 years in the industry I am used to calling a spade a spade. What do you call a spade? Cherry pie?

Raining on parades? I advise companies and individuals on their spending budgets so am not used to pampering fragile egos when it comes to spending hard earned money on their gear.

A few posts ago Terry was extolling the almost magical virtues of his last machine and a week later it experiences a total melt down. These comments are noting to do with Terry as a human being or his writing skills which make your feeling a need to run to his aid and subsequent comment quite embarrassing. It's just about a choice of and the management of ones tech. Nothing more. Terry is not a 12 year old child that just got a plastic pony for his birthday. He's a grown man.

I highly recommend trying to keep a grip on reality. Life is so much easier that way.

Can I pick up a New World Translation from the JW London head office?

by Camperdown9 in

i'm an anglican and not a jehovahs witness.

what i dislike about lots of church congregations is their readiness to make unpleasant and unhelpful comments about other christian groups.

recently someone in a church tried to tell me a little about the views of jehovahs witnesses.

GodZoo

Positive way? How can you expect positive comments about a cult? Are there good sides?

Evolution is a Fact #28 - Something Darwin Didn't Say

by cofty in

one of my friends posted an inspirational picture on facebook this morning.

even before i checked i knew that it was a fictional quote.

it was written by somebody who has not grasped a basic fact about evolution.. darwin did not say this.... it is a common misunderstanding that evolution favours individuals who are able to adapt to their environment.

GodZoo

Something else Darwin failed to address..

------------

Among the many problems with Darwinism that Bergson's theory tried to deal with was the fact that a multicellular organ is a "functional whole made up of coordinated parts" and if "just one or a few of the parts happened to vary . . . the functioning of the whole would be impaired" (Goudge 1967, 292). This concept, now known as irreducible complexity, is the basis of the modern Intelligent Design movement. Bergson also concluded that, due to irreducible complexity, at every stage of an animal's history and development

all the parts of an animal and of its complex organs |must| have varied contemporaneously so that effective functioning was preserved. But it is utterly implausible to suppose, as Darwin did, that such coadapted variations could have been random. . . . Some agency other than natural selection must have been at work to maintain continuity of functioning through successive alterations of form (Goudge 1967, 292).

Bergson also concluded that Darwinism had failed to explain why life

evolved in the direction of greater and greater complexity. The earliest living things were simple in character and well adapted to their environments. Why did the evolutionary process not stop at this stage? Why did life continue to complicate itself "more and more dangerously"? (Goudge 1967, 292).

not deserving of a half star 6 Mar. 2016

By Thomas Carr - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle Edition

slander of others religions is worse than Trump. instead of being ignorant read the bible and get the answers. you are not worshiping people you should weork towards woirshiping God. you learn about God by reading the bible not destroying freedom of religion. people that are afraid oif what they dont know becomes example of Hitler. be wise research and read the bible. have love for everyone.

---------------

Is that it? Is this what the drama is all about?

Of course the subject matter of the book alone guarantees one will attract all sorts of people including your nut job extremist JW's. But I hardly see his little rant and anything to get upset

As regards the guys grammar and spelling it sounds like English might not even be his first language. I see people in this forum apologising for their formatting/spelling/grammar all the the time especially when posting using mobile devices. People posy in here when totally drunk!. Again not a big deal.

Fair points Steve but I just don't see the point of getting so riled about it.

Just curious.. does anyone who does not give a stella review any book written by an ex-jw have to get slated and insulted in here? Is it really that important? Have people not learned to manage rejection and non-acceptance still?

One does not also need to have had to pay for something in order to be able to review it. I have reviewed a ton of books and products that I did not buy.. ie: was given, borrowed or found.

What is it with this?:

You did not pay me so your opinion is invalid
You did not say nice things so your opinion is invalid.
My friends and I will now pick you to pieces and insult and deride you publicly on an ex-jw forum.

Why not simply just ignore it? It's not like they boiled a baby in oil..

A world with just one viewpoint would be such a boring place.

Hello, fairly new, studying for around 7 months, just thought I would introduce myself.

by Conanthebeliever in

hello everyone, i hope you are all ok. .

my name is conan, i am 25, and from the uk.

i have some brain damage, so i apologise in advance if my syntax is off or i go a long way around explaining things.

GodZoo

My advice is carry on your studying with them.. except tell them before you do any study of the Bible.. that before you can trust and put faith in them as teachers of truth that you want to do a study of the 'Jehovah's Witness Organisation' using it's own literature.

Then come back here and we will provide you with links and printouts to practically their entire library of printed teachings going back to 1897..

Let us know how the study goes..

Like Father, Like Son

by cofty in

when faced with awkward questions about the morality of god many christians respond by distancing themselves from the old testament and focusing on "gentle jesus meek and mild" of the new testament.. for bible-believing christians this is intellectually dishonest.. according to christian dogma jesus was the god of abraham isaac and jacob.

the logos, the alpha and omega who is "the same yesterday, today, and forever.".

he claimed that "he that has seen me has seen the father" and that "i and the father are one".. in short, christians assert that jesus is almighty god from all eternity.. it therefore follows that jesus was the god who ordered the nation of israel to take slaves as inheritable possessions.

Slimboy stop grovelling it does not become you.. it's just a forum and not a Kingdom Hall. I see people get away with murder in here because they are the chiefs favourites.. hardly fair at all so don't worry about it.

If he would kick you out after 11 years of contributing to this forum merely because you have strong feelings and simply don't agree with many of these caustic atheist bullies then maybe your talents and energies would in fact be better served elsewhere. you contribute an awful lot more than admin do that's for sure. Anyone can set up a site and 'moderate' (he get's paid too by the way).. it's the contributors that are the life blood and content of places like this. I have seen some of the greatest and most intelligent minds and contributors banned for similarly clashing, disagreeing with (or standing up to) the powers that be.
But hey it's his toy so I guess he get's to dictate who get's to play with it.

Slimboy you are valued and appreciated.. don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.
