  The Fragility of Digital Data & The Impact ...

  by SYN in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  didn't really know which section of the forums to post this in, so i stuck it in "friends"!.

  the article linked at the bottom of this post makes some interesting points - according to a study, only .003% of our data isn't stored on some form of computer today.. needless to say, this is a somewhat disturbing statement.

  having had loads of experience with computing hardware, one eventually realizes that most of the hardware out there is actually rather unreliable - hard drives, for instance.

  Standard CDROM media is STAMPED - so it's much more reliable than CDRs, which are chemical in nature...

  What's the deal with not needing Bethelites?

  as a disclaimer, i am an ex-jw (da'd) for about 15+ years, so i really haven't kept up on what's going on in bethel (come to think of it i wasn't really interested in it when i was a jw!

  recently, however, one of my relatives (current jw) commented that, although my nephew had applied to bethel (oh what a privilege!

  ), he was basically told he wasn't needed at this time because they aren't "mailing out the publications" there like they used to.

  I think a better person to ask about this would be AlanF or Farkel, considering the fact that I am on another continent Guys, speak up!

  Select a world leader

  by JanH in

  2. friends

  let's say you are challenged to appoint a man who will become the supreme leader of the world.

  however, you have only these 3 candidates available: .

  candidate 1) he is known to cooperate with corrupt politicians, consults astrologers, has two mistresses, is a chain smoker and drinks around 10 glasses of martini a day.

  TeraFera, here is the code that Apostates use to communicate on PLN:

  FDS: Indicates to the listener that they must bring the drinks at the next Apostofest.

  Organization: Tells the listener that the sender wants to flirt with them in JWD chat

  Governing Body: Tells the listener that the sender wants to cover them in body chocolate and whipped cream.

  Bethel: Tells the listener that the sender wants to lick the above substances off VERY slowly.

  was jesus the wisest man who ever lived?

  if you are a normal, well adjusted man who is not mind controlled, and want to find out the opposing side, and the real truth read biblical errancy - a reference guide- by c. dennis mckinsey, isbn 1-57392-808-9 you can purchase it through amazon.com .

  12:1-6, 8; mark 2:23-28; mat 12:10-13; luke 13:10-16; john 5:8-11).

  Hi Yeru, I missed this thread for a while...hehe...I wasn't "trashing" Him (I know this is a sensitive subject for you...), like I said, I'd like to go back and meet him personally (if he existed, there are several schools of thought on that matter, but I will give it the benefit of the doubt), so that I wouldn't have to try and understand his teachings through a 2000 year-old book! I respect the fact that you base your religion on Him...

  Let's review my post to see whether or not I slagged HappyMan, shall we?

  Wow, our first JWD field-service report. I'm impressed.

  Nope, no slagging here!

  You must be pretty brave to pull something like that here, HappyMan! Well done to you!

  A compliment? Whoda thunk it?

  But, remember that the GB controls Witnesses, and they've caused Witnesses to die and be abused through their doctrines!

  Is this not true?

  So, why don't you tell people at the doors that instead?

  A valid question, eh? Notice that nowhere do I attack HappyMan personally. In fact, I admire him for his stance against the Tower, even though I do not always agree with him. I do realize that not everyone can instantly leave the BORG - oftentime they have to "sneak" out, so as not to rock the proverbial "boat".

  Geesh, I don't attack Witnesses here just because they're Witnesses. If I ever do, please slap me rapidly. I WILL attack their religion with glee, however. The sad thing is, many people confuse this with personal attacks, perhaps because they have BECOME their religion. If you knew me in real life, you'd understand...I have a very easy-going, but also extremely anti-Tower, nature. In fact, I'm a Pacifist. I'm quite insulted that you didn't read my post thoroughly and understand that I was not slagging HappyMan at all, but rather just questioning the motivations of his RELIGION!
