Beards

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

i have a beard.

i spend a month on vacation with no worry from the congregation overseas of course.

i grew a full beard now and with glasses i finally have posted my picture on facebook og me... next to half life 2 cover showing i look like gordan freeman lol.

I grew a full short beard in my last couple of years in, I finally got to the "fuck it" stage of life and stopped caring so much what others thought of or about me. I'd always wanted a beard so grew one. As i can have a full beard in 1 week it wasnt a long drawn out process.

My beard was well liked by pretty much everyone, but the Presiding Overseer still felt he needed to have "the chat" with me abut it while out in FS. He wanted to know my reasons for having it and if it had anything to do with being rebellious. After i said Jesus and all the apostles had beards and it's a man made rule (i suggested going beyond what is written) he backed off.

I wasnt an MS at the time, and had given up any of my efforts for reappointment.

I still have the beard now, I take the clippers to it each week and return it to stubble again.

My desktop froze up!

by Wonderment in

after 6 years of steady computing, my desktop froze last night, and forced to reboot.

i have been using linux for longer than that, so it was surprising to see my linux system freeze a la windows.. but then i realized my mouse cursor was not moving on the screen, and the mouse computer interface depended on a good working mouse.

alas!

Is it worth upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7?

i'm running vista home premium on my dell inspiron.

dell custom build to your requirements and i went for 4gb of ram from the start (almost 2 years ago).

i know vista has been much maligned but honestly, i've had no problems with it.

The upgrade to w10 is pretty easy and painless and nothing gets lost, i put it off for months and months because i just couldnt face losing lots of passwords for sites etc, but was reassured by others that wasnt going to happen so took the plunge.

I did my laptop 1st and if that went ok i'd do the big rig, it went smooth on the laptop apart from having to manually get the synaptic trackpad drivers so i had my easy scrolling back again, so i upgraded my dual xeon beast after that, easy painless all my stuff is where i left it.

Vista was pants tbh, compared to XP it was stodgy bloatware, w7 was such an improvement.

Are Magicians Spawns of Satan the Devil?

by Cold Steel in

i was perusing the internet not long ago and came upon this series of videos by a guy calling himself xendrius.

it declares that many of today's best magicians are in league with the devil.

his claims are based on his observation that the tricks would be impossible to do unless the magicians had made unholy pacts with the devil.. so what's the take of the wtbts?

Witness My Fury

You're so dumb to fall for this nonsense that it involves satan etc.. every trick is explainable if you think and look carefully. The few that are not so obvious doesnt mean it's real magic it means you dont know how it was done.

I just went from Windows 7 ultimate to Windows 10 a week or so back, overall it is an improvement.

Windows 7 was their best OS no question, but 10 looks like beating it.

Congregation in U.K. "executed"!

by The Searcher in

latest from a reliable source: .

"more news from the south-west of england.cinderford congregation has been terminated.

if you look on jw.org it hasn't disappeared yet (dec 20th 2015) but it's meeting time is shown as sunday at 10.00 am and that is not possible, as lydney who shared the same hall are listed as sunday at 10.30 am.cinderford and lydney shared a hall in parkend, lydney, gloucestershire.

Witness My Fury

when i was a kid we used to meet in a cheap rented hall above a shop, then we rented a hall above the community centre, then we bought our own hall right near the high street for lots of money.

Even as a kid it didnt make any sense, if the end was imminent wtf were we doing buying an expensive hall to meet in? They sold that hall about 10 years ago for a very tidy sum and built a hall on the edge of town and had a large slush fund. You can bet your ass it's all gone to cult HQ by now. I can see them being forced to hall share very soon too if they arent already.
