  The "highest rank" should be a publisher since elders are supposed to be servants not big shots. Of course we know the reality of it don't we?

  although i know i'm not the worst writer in the world i feel i could improve tremendously.

  anyone know of a good, simple, "only the facts ma'am" book on how to improve one's grammer and style?

  any suggestions from the peanut gallery on things you notice which are grammatically incorrect in my growing legion of posts?

  You might want to give these a look.

  Strunk & White's - The Elements of Style (mentioned by another post)

  Zinsser's - On Writing Well

  For something completely different, highly recommended

  Brewer's - dictionary of Phrase and Fable ( a look at the origins of phrases and idioms)

  A Southern Baptist minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great emphasis, he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river." With even greater emphasis, he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river." And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."Sermon complete, he then sat down. The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile. "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn # 365. Shall we gather at the river...

  young, eager writer happy to help dupe masses and promote satanic new world order.

  in return, seeks compensation in the form of carnal satisfaction, narcotics, and a concealed carry permit with a license to kill.

  also, a pony, magical, red, with gold mane and hooves, named brush, for riding and ribbon-plaiting purposes.

  A Perfect Organisation?

  by woodland in

  2. experiences

  my mum always says that she is an imperfect person within a perfect organisation.

  now, what i do not understand is by her own admission she is imperfect, in fact, we all are.

  so, how can imperfect humans create a perfect organisation?

  The weiner thread is still there as far as I can tell standing proud in all its' glory. You may be experiencing the same thing that others of us are. Namely the disappearing threads. I found the weiner under Active Topics.

  Cigarettes

  by Beans in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you left the jw's did you start smoking cigarettes or had you already started smoking cigarettes before?

  and for those who became jw's later on in life, were you smoking cigarettes before joing the organization and was it hard to stop?

  and now how many cigarettes do you smoke a day?

  Are you kidding? Never touched my lips. We see people everyday in our OR getting cut open like stuck pigs to fix smoking induced health disasters. Not a chance in hell.

  I have the same problems as well. I've posted to the tech site, but what was suggested by some I had already tried. i.e. delete temp files, F5, delete cookies, etc. None of this works. Sent an e-mail to Simon a few days ago, no response. I know this is not a problem with my computer because we have 8 machines and it does the same thing on all of them. Maybe a problem with Simon's new compression system. But it is getting frustrating having to sort through all the Active Topics to retrun to a topic you were following. Patience is a virtue.
