i am a newbie here and have just found this site after a some jw sisters came a visiting to my door.. i was listening intently to what they were saying, and asked a question about cruelty in this world, the subject got around to animals and they said that animals did not eat each other until after the flood.. and animals did not turn against man until they started to be cruel to them, which was again after the flood.
this seems to me to be so ludicrous, please can you tell me if anyone has heard of this before?
I knew some believed that the animals were all herbivores in the garden of Eden, but that changed one man fell into sin.
I find the whole concept far fetched. There are so many animals that are carnivores and would never survive by eating grass. The more I think about the whole "animals and mankind coexisting peacefully" bit the more it sounds like some ancient legend made up by primitive man.
after reading so many experiences about how being a jw affected a person's life, i wonder how your life has turned out because you were at one time a witness.
I think I'm lucky. I turned out very normal despite being a dub for quite a while. It probably helped that I wasn't too deep in the organization.
My wife, on the other hand, has suffered greatly because of the crap her parents pulled. I so wish I could take away her pain...
just got norah jones cd.... fantastic voice, "don't know why" and "come away with me" ....fantastic....... the new karen carpenter?
what you got playing?
I'm listening to Bic Runga. Ever heard of her? She had a great song on the American Pie soundtrack so I bought her two albums. They're pretty good. I also like Nora Jones and Bjork!
I always think of the Swedish Chef on the Muppets when I see Bjork's name... "Bork bork bork!"
i just finished installing a ms wireless base station and remote wireless computer to the internet.
my grandkids don't have an internet connection so they come over at my house and tie up my computer for hours, sometimes for 8 or more hours at a time.
i have another computer in the other bedroom, so i hooked it up to my road runner connection.
You don't need to guess SSID's when you have a utility called Kizmet, and a Linux box, if you don't have WAP turned on,
That's why WAP is important. It's also important to turn off SSID broadcasting so that utilities like NetStumbler don't find you.
and I really suggest 256 bit, not 128 bit encryption, if your device supports it.
Of course. Unfortunately, most WiFi devices only support 40/64-bit and 128-bit encryption. Both of which are not implemented correctly and have weaknesses. You should use the highest level of encryption that all of your devices support.
I've discovered several WiFi networks with it, driving around, using kizmet, in my girlfriends small town, looking for a wifi hotspot.
Yep, I've done the same with a WiFi-enabled Pocket PC and using NetStumbler. Most WiFi networks are not properly secured. I still believe that with WAP enabled, MAC filtering enabled, and using a non-default, non-broadcasting SSID, you will be pretty safe. There are so many less secure WiFi networks you could connect to. If you have really sensitive data and want rock solid WiFi security, then I would use Cisco equipment. They have done encryption right.
hey everyone.... i lost a lot of years to the borg and depression combined.
it has been a learning experience to say the least!
well, i have finally devised a plan.
It's a great idea in any case. I just started college myself. I'm starting my second quarter this summer. Taking English 101 and Precalc. lol

I don't know... there's something about an angry Bert getting booked which doesn't make me think "good bedside manner."

onacruse,
Hard-wired is better if it's practical. However, my house is not wired for CAT5 and it would be a pain in the arse to do it. In addition, the portability provided by WiFi is very hard to resist. My wife's laptop has an integrated WiFi card and it's great being able to go anywhere in the house or around the house and have Internet access.
If you secure your WiFi network correctly, other people will not be able to see it with NetStumbler or otherwise use it.

Here's how you should secure a wireless network:
WiFi encryption can be broken. MAC addresses can be spoofed. SSIDs can be guessed. But if you do all three things, you should be pretty safe.
ok, so it's not from the wts but it's funny.. http://www.planetx2003.com.
supposedly planet x is due to pass by earth very soon with catastrophic results.
this happens every 3,000 years or so.
Yeah, the Myan calendar ends in 2012. But I have a calendar that ends December 31, 2003! So I'm really conflicted... not sure what to believe. I'll play it safe and go with Fox Mulder on this one.
i was looking at my "copy" of the pay attention to yourselves book and noticed the following: .
normally, a close relative would not be disfellowshipped.
for associating with a disfellowshipped person unless there.
Normally, a close relative would not be disfellowshipped
I believe the key to understanding the WTS policy on this is to understand what they mean by "close relative." This is probably someone living in the same household, where communication is unavoidable. It may also include someone in the immediate family whom you are likely to see at family gatherings, etc.
At least that's how I understand it.
