  It is now official: Another falsified Watchtower prophecy

  "jesus was obviously speaking about those who were old enough to witness with understanding what took place when the 'last days' began.

  ... even if we presume that youngsters 15 years of age would be perceptive enough to realize the import of what happened in 1914, it would still make the youngest of 'this generation' nearly 70 years old today.

  " awake!

  Not to mention that they baptize children much younger. My own father was baptized at the age of 12, and that was in the 1940s.

  They have contradicted themselves so many times over the past 100 years, it's enough to make your head swim trying to keep track!

  Oh, thanks, incognito! I have had the misfortune of using W8, but not W10. That's good to know! Now I understand why so many folks with W8 took that offer for the *free* buggy upgrade.

  Oh, shoot, you have WIN 10, so no Start button/icon.

  If you don't know how to get to the Control Panel, just do a search from the desktop menu and you should find it that way. I forgot for a moment, that W8 and W10 have the 'new' sucky desktop designed for touch.

  OOPS! xx

  I'm 14 hours behind, and it's late.. well early morning.  I'll check in tomorrow - hope this works for you!  It's not always cut and dried, but usually these small, yet irritating, bugs can get worked out.

  Smiddy, I found the solution on a Windows forum. Here it is:

  I'll bold the steps, it's very simple ... Click on your start Icon at the bottom left-hand of your screen, and choose "Control Panel" to begin... then follow the bolded instructions below. It should work. When you are finished, restart. Send me a PM if it doesn't and I'll see what I can do. . xx tal

  I had the same problem with an ASUS P7H55-M.

  No mouse/keyboard after shutdown and restart.

  Apparantly this is an issue with the hybrid shutdown option in Windows 10.

  The following workaround worked for me:

  You can disable Hybrid shutdown (or "fast startup", as it is called in Win 10) via Control Panel:

  
  - open "Power Options"
  - open "Choose what the power buttons do"
  - click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable"
  - uncheck "Turn on fast startup"

  
  

  From now on Win 10 will initialize all driver on startup. This will take longer but it works.

  An Atheist gives Credit To Religions

  by smiddy in

  2. beliefs

  even though i now consider myself an atheist and have little time for religion as such , i have to acknowledge that some religious institutions , and even some i would consider a cult more so than others , do a fantastic job in the field of charitable works.. for so many in our communities who are disadvantaged ,in one way or another , the down and outs , for a better phrase , those that have succumbed to alcoholism , drug dependency , mental illness in it`s many forms , homeless people , juveniles suffering abuse of one sort or another at home , domestic violence , etc.

  etc.

  the list just goes on and on .. yet their are religious charitable institutions who are at the forefront of helping these people offering and lending a hand both physically , emotionally , and even financially to support these people without judging them .. so even though i consider myself an atheist i can commend what these religious institutions do to for these people... i can`t say the same thing for jehovah`s witnesses who will take , take , take and give nothing in return.. smiddy.

  St. Vincent de Paul does a lot. It's completely run by the parishioners (RC). In my city, they have 2 hour coffee house; coffee, tea or juice and a sandwich and pastry every day for all who come to the door. They give out grocery cards to anyone who calls them, and never ask about faith or pray. They provide space for all the addiction groups.

  The Lutheran Church provides free meeting space for any group (including an African Church that is not Lutheran but can't afford their own chuch), their congregation donates and fundraises, a different charity every quarter (they choose homeless and battered women's shelters), and knits prayer shawls for anyone who is sick and could use a cheering up (regardless of faith).

  The Episcopal Church downtown, has a coffee house and meal every Friday morning. There is a small food bank offered as well (staples, like potatoes, onions, bread, carrots, etc.). They serve special dinners on Easter and Xmas - yes ON THE DAY, which is unusual.

  The SDA Minister here has received the Order of Canada for his contribution to the community. He started the first Food Bank over 25 years ago, and expanded to a furniture bank as well.

  That's a very short list of local churches that help out (I used to work for Phoenix House with homeless youth). I could list at least 10 more.

  There are so many heroes and volunteers in the religious community. I've found that it's a parish thing, a congregation thing - it varies from place to place. But one thing is for sure, many religious people do charity work in the community.
