  there are many things wrong with the world, many injustices and crimes committed.

  what if we could stop one of them?

  wouldn't it make the world a slightly better place?

  Negative forum behavior

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  another good codinghorror blog entry perfectly describes some people's online behaviour and an approach to handling it.

  i'll post part of it below but to summarize, these tend to be behaviours that don't violate any specific rules as such as the people doing it try to carefully skate just up to the line but they are nevertheless disruptive and we're not going to tolerate them on this site.

  if you are here to do these things then this isn't the site for you - move along, find someplace else on the internet to inhabit.. hate is easy to recognize.

  and joined your ranks.... this means...youre talking about a people, that currently are pushing no sex till marriage.

  that would end and join into the messages you currently push regarding youths and sex.

  that would be sex, with condoms.

  in 2018, cyprus goes bankrupt (again).

  many of its inhabitants, lacking jobs and prospectives of a better future, emigrate to more prosperous countries.

  cyprus' society is on the brink of collapse.

  yesterday, i brought a batch of cupcakes to my son's school.

  in passing them out, i started to give one to one of the children, who was a jw.

  he immediately started freaking out and screaming "no thank you" over and over.

  This reminded me of an incident when I was 13 or so.

  On our way to our Assembly, we  stopped at my nonJW 's house for a couple of days to visit.  Some how they discovered that it was my sister's birthday that day.

  When we arrived, they greeted us with a lit birthday cake and preceded to sing happy birthday.

  We were frozen in shock.  We had no clue how to handle it.   My Aunt was beaming with pleasure anticipating our delighted reaction to their surprise.

  My mom was always pretty cool about things.  We gave her a "now what?" look.

  She smiled graciously and thanked them for their thoughtfulness. We had our first birthday cake ever.   But I remember that paralyzing feeling when we saw that cake.  Mom later explained to them about birthdays but she told us there was no reason to waste the cake..lol.  like I said a cool mom.

  LisaRose:  the first thing I thought of was a bEthel/watchtower farm model.

  it would be considered a privilege to be invited to live there.  The whole purpose would be to continue the kingdom work.  The main r&f jws would not  invited to live there... just a big country sized Bethel.

  Maybe they would turn it into a JW tourist destination. They would have all of their major trainings there.  They could broadcast from there to all the KH of the world.

  Make it exclusive and a privilege to be earned.

  Q-tips and Coffee Filters helped me learn TTATT

  by RedPillPopper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well they didn't fully teach me ttatt but helped me on the way.............. first thing i do in the morning after waking up is grinding some nice coffee beans and getting the brew started while i take a hot shower.

  after the shower i like to clean out all the nasty wax out of my ears with a q-tip (or cotton swab for those not familiar with that term).. while cleaning out my ears i would think about how nice it is we have things like q-tips and coffee filters that make life more enjoyable but at the same time realize that somebody somewhere is in a factory making these.. i can't imagine a child saying "when i grow up i want to work in a factory making coffee filters".

  the people who end up really doing that as adults did not set that to be a life goal.

  I missed this thread last month.  I just wanted to say I enjoyed your OP and your unique perspective.   I am looking forward to more of your posts.  

  
  

  The illustrations of paradise always showed a simple life.  No tips or coffee filter in sight.lol..  I always assumed we would each be self-sufficient and have self sustainable communities.

  I used to wonder what would happen after the earth and was filled. No more children?   My  fantasy solution was the perfect brains would figure space flight and we would be inhabiting other planets.

  Stuckinarut 2:  personally some of those examples: David, Peter, used to comfort me and make me view god as loving & forgiving.

  When I would get to feeling bad about my short comings, and i would think about David and how God forgave him because he knew his heart.  I would say to myself: at least I didnt kill anyone.

  So I don't know if considering those examples actually call Gods love into question but maybe highlights his mercy.

  These examples might make a great argument against shunning and for  being more merciful.

  OTWO: Re:Moses... now THAT example

  did make me question God's love and fairness.  I always felt it was unfair for Moses not to get into the promised land after everything he had to put up with.

  All the comfort I got from David was wiped away by Moses. Lol. 

  It makes sense now that I have realised these are just stories.

  PS.  Add Jonah to the list.   Even after he got swallowed and spit out, he acted like a baby and sulked because the Ninivites werent destroyed.

  Hi.  I think it is way to long I would suggest picking one issue to bring up.  Perferably one she might be open to.

  Other wise she will probably stop reading or shut down.

  just my 2cents.
