A little humor about forums/thought this might make everyone laugh
by restrangled inhow many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?from snoggle, for about.com.
1 to change the light bulb then post about it 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could've been changed differently 1 to move it to the lighting folder 2 to argue and then move it to the electrical folder 7 to point out grammar/spelling errors in post about changing light bulbs 5 to flame the spell checkers 3 to correct spelling/grammar flames 6 to argue whether it's a light bulb or lightbulb 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper tern is lamp 15 know it all who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb is perfectly correct 19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take the discussion to the lightbulb forum 11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum 36 to discuss the dangers of changing light bulbs without a professional opinion 5 to post a disclaimer that they are not light bulb experts, nor do they play one on tv and that anyone planning on changing their own light bulb should consult a professional 7 to post urls where one can see examples of different light bulbs 4 to post that the urls were posted incorrectly and then to post the correct urls 3 to post about links they found from the urls that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add, "me too.
" 5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy 4 to say, "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?

Yes I am a real person
by BonaFide inthanks for many posts to my situation.
yes i am a real person, and if you want to pm me and ask details, i would be happy to give any details you want.
it is a little disconcerting to read how some doubt i am telling the truth, this is a tough time for me, but i still respect that you need some proof.

Good Manners Never Go Out Of Style
by snowbird inafter the initial shock from reading simon's announcement wore off, i re-read it again for the first time.. here is something that really stood out:.
the ex-jw community has certainly changed over the years.. people have and always will have disagreements but in the past there was a certain level of mutual respect, even if you vehemently disagreed with someone, and a line that people would not cross.
now it seems that the slightest disagreement is taken to extremes and escalated beyond all proportion with a level of vitriol seen in very few online communities.

Regarding Simon's Announcement
by AK - Jeff inwe have known behind the scenes for a time that this was being considered, obviously.
i just want to express my personal appreciation for what simon and angharad have done here on jwd.
i found jwd just a few months after leaving the organization, and kind of believing that i was pretty alone in the world at the time.
