Queued for Processing ....

by cofty in

if a new topic hangs for ages with spinning icon at "queued for processing " should you give up and post a new copy of the thread or will the eventually result in two threads?.

if it has cleared the first tick "uploading post" can you safely click away from the page?.

servers seem a bit slow recently?.

So neither of my attempts to post from 4 am and 9 am this morning (it's now 6 pm) have appeared. What do I do? Keep trying until one does work?

Sounds to me like this is a problem beyond what you are talking about above Simon.

It's about a capable young man stepping down as an MS.

You may get to see it twice but even the duplicate is queuing.

So five hours later it's still queued. I tried again. It's still queuing. er... you may have a duplicate when it eventually allows me to post a topic. I'd not even posted much. The limit seems really low. How do I know if I will have a problem posting?

Got a new topic sitting there purring away queuing right now.

Do I trash it and start again or leave it to do it's stuff?

Either way it's a PITA as it's 4 am and I want to go to bed.

How to Fade - The Basics!

by The Searcher in

this really works.

i've already applied the basics of this with one elder who "offered" us a shepherding visit.

we've been totally ignored since!!!

konceptual99

I agree with this 100%. They can only do something when you have given them something. Give them nothing and there is nothing they can do. Most elders simply don't have the time or inclination to try and tease your inner feelings out of you. Whilst they love a witch-hunt, many can't be bothered to create trouble if there is none. They just want to be able to tick a box that they tried when the CO asks them why so and so is now inactive.

by Sanchy in

what follows is my critique of the two final study articles from the november 2016 watchtower.

the articles titles are: "called out of the darkness" and "they broke free from false religion".. article: called out of the darkness.

parr 1. in 607 b.c.e., a massive babylonian army under the command of king nebuchadnezzar ii invaded the city of jerusalem.. .

The irony level of this article is one of the highest ever known.

Strange behaviour after cut and paste

by konceptual99 in

hi simon,.

i've just created a topic re a cart witnessing experience.

i wrote the original text in another bit of software (evernote) and cut and paste it in when creating the topic.. it did not leave any line space between paragraphs (just <br> tags it would appear) but when i added in some paragraph breaks it all looks ok when the edit is saved but then on refresh text is being completely lost.. i don't have this problem other times so am wondering if it's something to do with the c'n'p into the rich text editor and then subsequent edits.. any ideas?.

konceptual99

Yup - I did some checks and doing a plain text c'n'p is much better. There's some tag in there that's ballsing it up.

I conclude evolution is guided

by KateWild in

your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

konceptual99

Whoever managed to organise this wonderfully constructed and contrived parody of a deist v atheist group chemistry discussion, 'hat's off to you'! My favorite bit is at the end when Kate pretends to lose her grasp on reality.
To all the players... bravo.
It is parody right?

I'd take a bow as the trigger for Kate's OP but really this was a massive tag team effort.

TBH, I don't think this is a parody. I really, really don't think it's contrived. It actually demonstrates the typical exchange between those sticking to logic and reason versus those determined to put logic and reason aside in order to maintain a completely illogical position.
