  Site Updates

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  just a heads-up that i will be testing some updates this evening.. the nature of the changes means it's difficult to test every scenario in advance offline (translation: it's a lot more effort and i just can't be bothered) so i'm going to go with the "wing-it" approach:.

  deploy, check for errors, try to fix errors before anyone else notices them.. i can switch between the new and old version pretty quickly so if there are significant issues, i'll rollback and revert the changes while i work on the fixes.

  worse case is the pages won't display quite right (dates might be a giveaway) but a full page refresh should fix things.. http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.

  It looks like LoisLane is of the invisible class. Can others see me?

  Village Idiot is ahead of me... and his picture avatar is not there either.

  Hello.... Simon... Hello... Testing... Testing...

  Blondie... Have you ever heard the words... Wow! You really over reacted to that! That is not what I said or meant!

  You are 60 years old. You were abused by your father a life time ago. You were betrayed by your mother.... You lived with a predator. That is extremely stressful. It sounds like you are still suffering from extreme PTSD. I am sorry. I suffer that way too. Many people do.

  But, this was not about you! Or what you did or what you felt BE should have done. Because of your back ground, you blew his OP out of the water. Did you realize that? Do you realize that you still need to be in active therapy to deal with what happened to you and with your anger issues?

  Do you need to be the "tall poppy" here? In my 5 years here, you find a way to bring up your sexual abuse to us. We have heard it... And you allow it to continue coloring many things you write on.

  Yes, you have been on this Board for 16 years. I woke up and came on 5 years ago. You want to talk child abuse with me??? You want to talk about sex abuse with me??? Do you feel the need to subject us to what happened to you over and over again? I am on closed FB groups for that. You can private message me and I can introduce you to some if that would help you.

  I took BE at face value. What he wanted to share with us. You blew him out of the water to tell us your agenda.

  BE did not post to get accolades. Did you? BE did not post to get anyone's sympathy. Did you? Are you still so needy for sympathy and attention you have to tear someone else down to achieve that? That would make you seem pathetic. I would rather think of you as Blondie, the one strong minded enough to do the Watchtower review with us and add your insightful comments.

  Hugs of sympathy and concern for you from your past. But, if you are still in active Therapy, you might need to see someone else.

  BibleExaminer... Life is different for each of us. Thank you for sharing how your day went. Otherwise, we would never know. I do hope you are feeling better now.

  This is directed to any of you out there that are in difficult circumstances and must go/feel the need to go... and blend in.

  We do not know your individual circumstances. You know TTATT. So then, it must be very hard for you to hear the constant brainwashing, the inapt way they treat children and the abuse whether it be sexual, educational, physical that goes on... and keep your comments neutral to minimal. I think of you as spies for us. Not everyone has the mental strength to be one. You are in the actual front ranks of the WT delusional army that sees everyone but themselves as the enemy. When in actuality, they are their own worst enemy.

  I wish you well in your game plan.

  Thank you for checking in. I actually hope you go out with this dick head again. Then rip him another one! Oh... and please tell us how it went...

  Hugs

  A dick is a dick is a dick...

  Comes in all colors...

  What a moron to treat his own son like that and leave him hanging at a strangers door. I don't think this guy even knows what common sense is.

  Makes me wonder what happens behind closed doors.

  This 'brother' is not normal. Is your congo desperate for Elders?

  Hope you are feeling better and yes, what choice words did you say to him and his reaction was... Oh, oh. I got found out? Or,,,

  How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

  by Julia Orwell in

  2. friends

  i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

  as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

  surely education should come first.

  non jw so thank you for bearing with me.

  JW..org ways are weird. Saying something is special, doesn't make it so. What they believe to be special, spiritual food from God's mouth to the Governing Body's... changes pretty rapidly...

  I am sorry that your beloved husband now thinks that you must be in subjection to him. No partnership allowed. No coming together of minds or plans. I am sorry that he thinks that you have to go with this him. WT is all about 'looks". It is a power game for men. Control over women and anyone else that permits it.

  Just asking. Has he also told you where you are spending your summer vacation... at a JW..org convention site or has he not got around to telling you about his summer plans yet?

  A State of Emergency has been declared

  by Bungi Bill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everybody here right now is busy "battening down the hatches" as they wait for the approach of a tropical cyclone.

  a state of emergency has been declared in the district - the second one in as many weeks.

  (the floodwaters from the tropical cyclone that hit just last week have still not drained away).. so far, the biggest hazard looks like it will be the storm surges from the ocean, and people living in some exposed coastal areas have already been evacuated.

  I live on The RIng of Fire. We are expecting an earthquake.

  Cyclone, flooding, earthquakes. All fodder for superstitious people.

  Stay safe all!

  Would you give up one year at the end of your life if you could relive any one day in the past?

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  like the question asks: if you could relive any one day of your life, any age, any place and remember everything about it afterwards, would you be willing to live one year shorter at the end of your life?

  one day for one year?.

  i realize that someone well on in years would think twice about it, but, what about you younger ones?

  This is an interesting question up for debate.

  My 2 cents would be, which lovely experience would you like to relive, not just in your mind? Possibly, the lovely moments in my life I have relived them up to and surpassing 24 hours time limit and I am still alive. I wouldn't trade real life and living 365 more days for anything. Life is precious and so our it's memories.

  Automatic Love

  by TheFadingAlbatros in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  jehovah's witnesses have a kind of automatic love for all their other co-religionists all around the world.. this kind of attachment can only be the result of a cult machinations.. real love needs real freedom, a strong personal motivation and enough time to be fully developed.. .

  My dearest Claude, With tears in my eyes, reading your 3rd paragraph and the newspaper article, it is too sad. Too horrible. I am so, so sorry for your loss.

  Would you mind starting a new post, with a different heading, saying you have lost your most beloved son due to a tragic accident?

  You are in Switzerland, I am in North America. I do not quite understand the heading of automatic love. Do you mean if you are an active JDub you will get phony love and sympathy from the KHall people but if you do not go, then these JDub zombies (automations) will shun and turn their backs on you, as though you and your precious son never existed? Remember JDubs are WT zombies with, for the most part no feelings. They are trained (every week through meetings and literature to think and act a certain WT way) by brainwashing. They do not think for themselves. They are controlled by those 7 little men behind the curtain in New York. If this is what you mean by automatic love, and that the JW's in your area who know you and your son, act like nothing has happened because he did not go to their KHall? Where if they were normal human beings, they would mourn the loss with you, making meals, sending flowers to cheer you, hugging you and crying with you and making sure you were all right?

  On your 2nd paragraph, I listened for a few minutes to this beautiful music and thought I would like to have a garden party and have Arabian Nights as the theme with this music.

  Then I came to your 3rd paragraph and all the sadness of what just happened, came pouring out. I read the newspaper article. The man who killed your son, did a 'hit and run' and no one knows who he was. There is no one to pin his death on. No one to point a finger at and yell "You killed my son!!!" It is devastating. Just devastating.

  It is such an unimagiative loss. A young man off on holiday, riding his bicycle, feeling happy and content. Then a bus driver makes the fateful decision to drive around him to get ahead. For what? If this bus driver is normal, his conscience will bother him for the rest of his life. What he has shown is that he is a coward for not coming forward and owning up for what he has done and at the least apolizying. He has caused enormous pain and death to another human being. Hopefully, someone will notice the wrecked front of his bus and turn him in.

  Please accept the biggest heartfelt internet hug from me. The time ahead will be painful for you and all that knew your beloved son Jonathan. I can't imagine how horrible this daily nightmare is for you dear Claude. And please keep breathing, and living and please do not do anything foolish.

  I am just so very sorry for your tragic loss. I give you my most heartfelt regards and sympathy for your unimagiative loss.
