Hey Minimus,
How are you doing?
I think there are loads of pro's to the site and not many con's. I have pretty much got used to it now. I think my post count has gone up a bit, but I can't tell any more how many posts I've made in the last 24 hours. So I might be here a lot more lol.

well, it's finally happened!.
im no longer an ms.. as many would know from our chats via this forum, i've seen it coming for a while....and while the way it was done stinks, i'm really happy to finally be free!.
(would love to share more details...i will do in time...or perhaps a pm would be best).
Sorry to hear it was done in a bad way. They do this to humiliate you as an example so others don't step down or take steps to get removed.
It's one step in the right direction. You're not so stuck in a rut now.
Congratulations
Kate xx
ok, so the time has finally come to register an account on this site.
not that i think i have much to contribute to the discussions here, but more out of a desire to show that yet another person has learned ttatt.
i am a fader, not discussing ttatt with anyone as i know the inevitable outcome it would have.
Welcome and thanks for telling us what you're awake moment was.

i know we have teething problems simon , but is it me ?
am i doing something wrong ?
or is it a bug that needs to be ironed out.. the old system i could navigate through and view any previous post i had , and also view the latest posts and go back on previous posts that i dont seem to be able to do today .. at the moment it just seems like pot luck with whatever page i`m on.. smiddy.
I can look at all my previous posts just as Xant said it works for me.
How did you get on Smiddy?

in other words, is it true that the watchtower is just like other religions when it comes to cover-ups?.
from personal experience (with incest and doctrinal/financial fraud) in the watchtower i would say so.. especially when i compare stories like the one i read today:.
"its impossible to know how many women have been raped by jewish men.
I was silenced, shunned and df'd for exposing domestic violence in our household.
This type of gagging is common in WT. Rather silence the woman than punish the man.

the scientists at the scripps research institute, california, have almost succeeded in creating the world's first living organism with artificial dna!.

Racemic mixtures formed in the lab with no catalyst remain racemic. No sides win out in this case cofty.

Cofty,
Soai showing that natural selection will make it inevitable one side wins outs....is evidence to me the process is guided....it's always the same side in nature. L-enantiomers.
You don't believe it's guided but I do. I havent made up my mind fully yet. If there is new evidence to support this process is unguided I am interested in knowing it and I will change my mind.

i've been out of the religion for a little while now but my family is still "strong in the truth".
i got a call today asking if i could stop by to have a discussion.
they just had their circuit assembly and this is typically when they decide to talk to me, while they're spiritually energized hah.
Sorry I don't have any details of the CA. But I just wanted to post and tell you that it's a good idea to be prepared in advance.
All the best

i met an aging, well, late sixties, pioneer sister a few days back, from a congregation four removes away, and a different circuit to my old congo.
i have known her since i was a kid.. i wasn't quite sure at first if she knew our "status" as we exchanged pleasantries, but it soon became clear she knew exactly our situation, that we walked away a few years ago.. she asked me about my views on life now, and listened respectfully, and said she appreciated my view, but a couple of questions that she threw at me, as in the thread title, showed that she was surprised that mrs phizzy and i had not gone off the rails after we left.. the mind control goes so very deep does it not ?
she was surprised that our marriage hadn't failed, and that we were now happy.. i wonder if she will ever make the connection that the jw org has lied to her about those of us who leave ?.
Well good for you phizzy. I, on the other hand, am divorced, df'd and not allowed back in.
All I did to deserve this was expose domestic violence.
So no I am not happily married, but happily dating and enjoying it. Lol xx

anyone who's posted on both the original site and this new one will notice that you no longer get the notice of how many posts you have left.
there are a few reasons for this.. one reason is scalability - every time you viewed a topic and got the reply at the bottom the server needed to look at your account, count the number of posts in the last 24 hours and work out what to display.
caching at various places meant this number would sometimes be wrong and there's nothing worse than posting something and it failing.. i went back to basics and thought about what the limits were for and how they could be improved to still protect the site but also give a better user experience.. limits are there for several reasons: to protect against spammers and blabbermouths.
Thanks for explaining Simon.....I was wondering about it and sent you a question on another thread.
I understand now
Take care
Kate xx
