really, the bible was written by nothin' but goat herders?

i don't post much but this does irk me.

yes a few may have been shepherds or fisherman, but a fair amount were far more educated and were professionals in their fields of occupation.

Is that discrimination for not hiring straight people?

i do know one agency (i will not give a clue what kind of agency is it, etc...) that was run by a straight married female and her staff did not have any gay people in it and she quit to move to another state with her husband.

the board of directors hired a gay male to head the staff, the staff slowly quit by one by one for some unknown reasons and he begin to hire gay people to work for him, i now do not see any single straight worker working for him, is that discrimination for not hiring straight people?.

here is an sda agonizing about his church in front a congregation.

Wordpress 3.5 - warning!
by Juan Viejo2 in
1. social
2. current
as many of you know, i am the webmaster for several jw discussion websites.

as a rule, any new site i install and maintain uses wordpress as it's background operating system.. while working on the new freeminds.org website, i happened to upgrade to the latest version of wordpress.

i immediately noticed some serious issues.. i was able to work around most of them using plugins or my own ingenuity, but then i noticed a few new issues that i simply could not resolve on my own.. the folks are wordpress have been swamped with support forum hits from irate users that upgraded and the found their sites were not nearly as functional as before and in some cases (loading and inserting media) were not working at all.. wordpress 3.4.5 is the last stable version.
