Can't sign out!

by stillin in

my wife has recently become very curious about my activity on my ipad.

i delete my browsing history but if she should discover this site and my identity here, she will gladly hand me over to the hangman, something i have managed to avoid for quite some time now,.

i hit the "sign out" button, but i find that i'm still logged in!

Have two browsers installed, one for general use where you can leave the history untouched, and one purely for jw net, where you wipe it every time you shut it down

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203036

Not sure if Safari has the same ability, but if not you can always download the Chrome app.

See above :)

I was really panicking because I hadn't deleted my history before I went out.

Deleting history, all of it, is 100% suspicious. Just put the browser in private or incognito mode for the sites you don't want tracked. That way everything looks normal. See above :)

They do. But if his wife is savvy, she's going to be able to tell he is using private mode.

Huh? Use normal mode for normal browsing. When he wants to read JWN, open a private tab, browse, close. Any data associated with that tab or window (and than one only) is gone. Everything else looks normal. That's the whole point of private browsing :)

Do iPads have private browsing mode? Just use that...

Richard Dawkins talking about a Creator

by FusionTheism in

richard dawkins admitted that information inside of dna, and the origin of life on earth, might point to intelligent designers, perhaps extraterrestrials.

(see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boncjbrrdq8 )richard dawkins further admitted, in a debate with francis collins for time magazine, that science might point to a creator existing, but that this creator might not be anything like yahweh:.

I know, Ruby. It's just so hostile and mean to ask you to give any evidence anytime you make a claim. I mean, do doctors and lawyers have to do that? So why should you, right?

Christians not knowing the Bible

by Viviane in

last night a young man in a bar struck up a conversation with me.

our town is having our pride parade soon and he brought it up, the bible and how it's against the bible.

me being me, i said that i couldn't care less that it was against the bible and that it was a horrible guide for morality anyway.

Viviane

I'm sure that the person who was at the bar with Viviane was a liberal.

Oh, no no no. Southern Baptist.

I am not saying all Christians are ignorant of the Bible or that most Christians don't. However, there is a very large percentage, perhaps and I think probably a majority, that don't.

Dear Lady, where did you get the idea that to refer to a Biblical story is to believe it literal?

So Jesus didn't believe it? You're saying Jesus was claiming as real false stories? You're saying Jesus didn't transfigure? Rise from the dead? Ascend to heaven? Believe in Noah?

Interestingly, when referring to the Flood of Noah's day and men marrying and women given in marriage Jesus said nothing about angels come down to have sex with women.

Jesus also never talked about having to poop. Are you saying Jesus therefore didn't poop? Jesus didn't mention masturbating. Are you saying people therefore don't masturbate?

He did not subscribe to that erroneous teaching.

Ah, well then simply show me the scripture where he says that. Otherwise, you are simply making things up so you can deny Jesus words and deeds. Technically, that makes you an anti-Christ.

You can believe in the inspiration of the Bible without believing it is all literal.

Jesus believed it was. Are you saying Jesus was wrong? If it isn't literal, then there literally is no point to any of it.

Christians don’t know the bible ( we know there is a group of people out there who really know the bible ).

Nope, never said that. Try again.

She claims we are still under the law of moses ( I think ) according to the bible.

Nope, never said that. Try again.

The law of Christ didn’t replace the old convanent.

Nope, never said that. Try again.

Again I must state I am not exactly sure what her theological stance of what the old covenant and new covenant are . It’s almost like she is trying bambozal us with all kinds of fancy jibbler jabber.

Sorry, I didn't mean to bamboozle you. I was just relating a funny story, sorry if it hit a nerve or described you exactly.

Repressed much ?? You can take the dub out of the hall but it is harder to take the hall out dub

Repressed? Jdub? What in the world are you talking about? Are you even trying to use your words or make a cogent thought?

If someone were to ask: Is Richard Dawkins an agnostic or an atheist? How would one respond?
And please, friends, do not direct me to a book. Just a simple answer would suffice and I will go my way off this thread.

Ask Richard Dawkins. Or read a book.

I quoted Richard Dawkins and posted a video of Richard Dawkins?
Where did I say anything?

Well, first you said you had not written commentary and then you did and now we don't know.

The point is, we've got some trouble with your veracity. We need tor straighten that out.
