  This Forum. Has it changed? For the better or for the worse? Or not a at all?

  when i post i try to imagine that i am at a social gathering or sometimes in someone's house as a dinner guest.

  that way it is easier to follow the community guidelines and posting rules set out on the site at the bottom of the page.

  i wouldn't want to make a fool of myself in public.

  I have a life beyond the forum.

  Now THAT is a healthy statement. +1000.

  It also allows you to relax and enjoy the banter, if any.

  What’s good for the goose is good for the gander....

  I think all members of Congress (NO PARTY EXCEPTIONS - Republicans too), the previous admin, Clintons, etc should all get an open ended, anal probing (metaphorically of course!), investigation - just like Trump. Let’s see how they handle it.

  Meh, of course this wouldn’t be good thing with respect to law. But this is exactly why this investigation has been so toxic... it set a precedent of an investigation without and statute backing it.

  You Deleted My Post !!!

  apparently, some people never bother to read the posting guidelines.

  there are lots of helpful things in there about what to post and what not to post which explain why posts may occasionally be removed and how to complain if you think we've made a wrong decision.. the typical reasons are they they are either harassing someone over a difference of opinion (play the ball, not the person) or are simply off topic.

  a rose may be beautiful but if it's in a wheat field, it's still a weed.

  I'm sure everyone can immediately see the Occams Razor explanation: if you post something in the members only areaand then sign out, you don't see it in the list of topics but will when you sign back in again. Simple and obvious ... right?

  Pffft... ha ha ha ha hahahahhahaahahhahaha lol

  Also, my email is broken. Can you fix it?

  climate change ... who doesn't believe it?

  crazy fools and science deniers ... right?.

  it seems like it's become the new religion, the new orthodoxy, that must be accepted and believed as gospel and preached to all.. is it ok to be skeptical?.

  Movie review website Rotten Tomatoes caught deleting 54,000 fan reviews of Captain Marvel

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  first, i haven't seen captain marvel.

  i'm not into superhero movies.

  low-budget horror made by passionate directors is more my thing.. if you saw the movie and enjoyed it - great.. and i'm sure some fan reviews are motivated by hate or they're just spamming or whatever.. but here's a thing: rotten tomatoes has been caught deleting more than 54,000 negative fan reviews of captain marvel ... all to increase the negative fan's review aggregate from 33% to 36%.. social engineering isn't just limited to the long-debunked 'gender wage gap' ... it's happening in entertainment.

  Just a side note: If the WTB&TS were to switch to “electronic” reporting, even if the metric was changed, you are now talking about each JW having his/her own username and password to the site. Once logged in, it could record the user’s IP address, and start to monitor activity on jw.org. They would know if you signed in to read assignment XYZ. Have you been to the site this month? Actually our records only show two times. But then again, that might not matter to them. On the other hand, imagine that they posted a link to jw.org from this site. Just some article that a “new user” seems to be complaining about. Maybe even a fake article that says something really nuts. If you are an active jw and click on it, now you are back in the jw.org server coming from an apostate website, with matching IP address. Heck, you might even still have the jw.org cookies. In other words, they could start to track who comes to sites like this (for those who are fading)...

  ... then again, maybe they aren’t that smart.

  It boils down to resentment.

  Oh, so it’s less like the flat earth conspiracy and more like the institutional racism argument, except for whites.

  Groups who are anti-semitic are nearly always bosom-buddies with Islam. The Nazis being the classic example but you see a watered down version of it with Corbyn's Labor and the Democrats who have made "loving Islam" part of their anti-trump platform.

  Exactly the reason I don’t understand white supremacists being categorized as on the right. The Nazis are on the left.

  I’ve never quite understood the “Jewish” issue. To me it has always seemed like the flat earth conspiracy. According to the flat earth perspective, there is a giant coordinated effort to hide the flat earth from the public. Everything from teachers, governments, and all the employees, the studies of physics, scientists, spanning thousands of years - all have been in on it to keep us from knowing the truth.

  Makes you wonder - why don’t they just tell us the truth then? What is the reason for such an effort? If you can get them to tell you in one sentence, you suddenly realize their buy-in: God.

  This Jewish thing seems to be right along those lines. The Jews, they have always been behind everything, pulling the strings, directing the wars, depressions, whatever else...Not sure where that comes from and for what purpose? But maybe someone can put it into one concise sentence?
