Will the jw's get all excited about Russia in the Ukraine?
by hoser inusually when world events like this take place the dubs start into how the end must be so close they can almost taste it.
maybe there will be some speculation about the king of the north and south again.

HERE IS YOUR MAP. . . your task is to find the spot which says: YOU ARE HERE
by Terry inhere is your map:.
1. i suspect the truth isn't what i thought it was.. 2. omg--i realize i've been lied to and duped.. 3. what should i do?--i don't want to lose my wife, kids, family, friends, dog, pet hamster .
.. 4. what if jehovah's witnesses really do have the true religion and it's simple human error screwing it up?.

How Did "Shepherding Calls" Go For You?
by minimus indid you loath them?
did you feel it was a "privilege" to have the elders care deeply about your spiritual well being?
if you were an elder or ministerial servant, did you enjoy going to the homes of the sheep?.

New way to fade?
by dothemath ina brother in a local congregation has successfully faded, no announcements or judicial hearings that anyone has heard of.. his immediate family are all out, but they have lots of family still in.. if he had joined another religion, or the army, or put up christmas lights, likely the elders would be hounding them like crazy.. but no, he has accepted evolution(it seems to be common knowledge).. i would have thought this would be a disfellowshipping offense, but lots of time has passed, and they just leave them all alone..

Scammers, religion and cognitive bias
by GoodGuyGreg ina few years ago, my in-laws got scammed by one of the reverse pension plan schemes that flourished at the time.
i found both the process of them getting scammed and the technique used by the scammers really interesting, and i'm sure you'll recognize the general deal:.
it began with a person they trusted saying he had found a great deal that seemed very promising: a small investment now would turn into a large reward in a short while, when the particulars had been straightened out.

Log-on security
by GoodGuyGreg injust a suggestion from old paranoid me: the logon process on this forum evaluates the username and password parts of the credentials separately, from what i see.
giving clues to valid usernames opens up a couple of nasty and probably unwanted attack vectors (including searching for suspected members by their known mail addresses).
i do understand that it simplifies the interaction with less computer literate users, though.. if the current process is there by design, or if i've misunderstood it, i'll just shut my mouth, but at least i want to have warned against it.
