Fun with Google Trends
by Simon inin case you don't know, google trends is a fantastic tool - it lets you look at search terms over time and view trends.
it can, for instance, tell you if interest in something is growing or diminishing based on how many people are searching for it.. of course it can't tell if the searches are for negative or positive information .... here's some results for jw related terms:.

Flipper: that is truly awsome news. I understand you cant name names, but perhaps you can simply say if this from the same source who mentioned this about a year ago on this board or from another source?

interesting question
by jayjay78 infirstly i'm a df'd witness.. i was in the org all my life.. vividly remember out witnessing as a kid in the 80s with my mum and having apostates jumping houses before we could get to them ..all the way up the street.. remember it because the guy looked like tom baker from dr who - frizzy hair and long colourful scarf.. i think the people at the doors were made more curious by them actually, so when we knocked ,they were inclined to have a listen.. anyway i'm out and cant see myself ever going back,because my family has fully shunned me..and even if i was to go back and be a member..i don't think i could forgive them...totally scarred me.. anyway my question is :.
if you were head of this religion and you wanted to keep it clean and pure etc..how would you deal with people who delib broke the rules?.
no shunning of course..but whats the alternative?

People who wont behave is nothing new, think about someone who misbehaves in a football club. It is easy to throw him out without thinking about shunning. -

Did Crisis of Conscience find a market or did it lumber along until the copies ran out?
by TerryWalstrom incuriosity.i would think c of c was the grand-daddy of all the ex-jw books.is there any way to know for sure how many copies sold?
over what span of time before the 1st edition ended?
why did it peter out of print if it was a perennial seller?today, every tom, dick, and jasper has self-published the bleeding wound, 1st person singular, true confessional version of their own fall from grace.

It is very sad that CoC has been out of print so long and now seems to undergo the slowest editing process any book has ever undergone. It is difficult to imagine a bit of crowd-sourcing couldn't have gotten it to print much, much earlier.

where have the demons gone?
by aboveusonlysky indoes anybody remember some of the sensational demon stories jw's would tell back in the day?
i was a kid in the early 80's and i remember a few times hearing of people having real life encounters with demons.
for example, one sister claimed that before she became a jdub she would regularly talk to demons and they would even fix stuff like her washing machine!

Very sad to hear this. She was the boards grandmother, I remember her "sending people to their rooms" when they did not behave. What a character. When she stopped posting frequently I was afraid she was alone, I am happy she had her family around near the end. RIP Mouthy. -

Can you prove that our entire universe and existence is not a computer simulation?
by EndofMysteries inif you were a computer programmer and you were to create a simulated automated world, that would constantly evolve and self run after initial designs.
first you would have to code the rules, laws, and core elements of this world.
while this is being coded, the program is not run yet, so none of it exists.

What is to stop us right now from being able to create such an advanced program with AI?
Well, in practical terms there is a ton of things stopping us. Accurately simulating systems of just tens of atoms (with quantum effects) is very near impossible at the moment, and even if we allow fairly coarse-grained simulations then just a few thousand neurons post computational problems right now (but it all depends on the level of accuracy in the simulation).
If the approach is feasible with very large computers is very interesting. In principle there should not be a problem, but opinions are divided if the simulations would be conscious or not -- we simply don't know.
