Poster country flags and privacy

by Simon in

the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).

before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.

first, the reason i think it should be shown:.

I have been going through old posts. An evil goblin could patch it together. VOLUNTARY.

Other means of tracing me are either illegal, or expensive.

The Country ID was usually given if you wanted . Look at all the different nations given b¥ Blondie over the years.

It was never displayed for me, because I never filled out that part of the form.

CHOICE CHOICE CHOICE, Man!!

You are going to scare away more with this vinegar truthy stuff, than with sweet lack of fear...

Certainly I have given snippets over the years about my self - but when I signed up it was not made clear that in ten ¥ears time, the board would give geographically specific information, which aligned with other information given out in drips could have identified me.

The agreement is being changed under my feet.

Simon - I don't see why we shouldn't be given a CHOICE. Reveal, or not reveal. It is all starting to sound abit rules and witlessy.

"If you choose to post things that identify you" EXACTLY!!

YEEEESS - but that was before you decided to pull the rug from under me.

The truth is THAT my national flag was NEVER posted in the old days.

And of course the local Dubs don't know you are an apostate from XXXX congo, as you have emigrated thousands of miles, almost half way round the world. I doubt you left contact information!!

Simon - when you say that it is trivially easy to identify me on this site by my IP address, does this mean you allow people to come here and obtain that information, without my consent?

Simon suggests taking measures to protect your identity. So - let's see: this means not being able to openly discuss parts of your life which make you identifiable to JWs who knew you.

basically - you can't talk about yourself. Just things in general which don't really affect you.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

It would be very easy to identify me if the country were posted as I have given too much personal and professional information over the years.

Why not just ask us all to allow our names to be listed as well, after all there must be thousands of John Smiths, David So- and -Sos or Maggie St John Crawleys in each relevant country.

If I choose to keep my name private it ought not to be possible to trace me by gathering information about certain members in a particular country. The WTBTS are sufficiently venomous that they would find a way of coming after the mentally diseased. I do not wish to have my privacy invaded, because some Goblin in Bethel has gathered things about me, and can trace which congregation territory I now live in, currently undisturbed by their phone calls and pestering.

In fact, I chose NOT to reveal my nationality when I signed up, for this very reason. For it to be revealed now against my wishes I would see as a violation. The anonymity this site currently gives allows far more freedom of expression than would happen if somebody thinks "X in XXXX congregation can guess this is me, and may inform."

It was bad enough being in the police state that is Da Troof, without now having to look over my shoulder, before I reveal some detail about myself. There are enough of us still dealing with the fallout from the cult - Maybe you are long past it, and could not care less if elders you don't even know come knocking on your door.

AS for trolls and impostors, I can only add that after many years here, I have seen them dispatched most adequately by the genuine posters on this board.

After Mar 15 WT, who NOW is represented by the Wise Virgins??

by hamsterbait in

it used to be that the master "arrived in 1918" and the virgins put their lamps in order.

according to the noolite, the arrival is yet future.

however, the gibbering buddies now insist that the annointed have not fallen asleep, but stayed awake up until now.

It used to be that the Master "arrived in 1918" and the virgins put their lamps in order. According to the noolite, the arrival is yet future. However, the Gibbering Buddies now insist that the annointed have not fallen asleep, but stayed awake up until now. (condradicting Christs words) Since they now claim that they do NOT fall asleep, WHO exactly are the wise virgins who fall asleep?? (I don't want to start yet another debate over the abandonment of 1914)

As they change more and more details, the entire theological structure built up by MAD FREDDIE is disintegrating. Soon witlesses will be told what to believe, without proof at all under threat of death from jehoobie.

but but but but - isn't that what they are already doing?

It is going to get worse and more intense, as the sheeples chafe under their attempted domination?

Soooo - who are the Wise Virgins now??

More to the point, since christ definitely says they ALL fell asleep, when will the annointed fall asleep? Is this the end of prophetic interpretations of the parables - so why continue with the now utterly discredited interpretation of the Faithful Slave Parable in Matthew?
