  Technical Curiosity

  by JBean in

  hi everyone... in my last post i admitted that i was semi computer-illiterate (!

  ) so my question is, given the stuff that's just gone on with yoyo/sexyteen's threads... how does simon (or anyone) figure out that these are the same people?

  he mentioned that the post was from the same computer!

  The easiest way for all of us to be able to see IPs and multiple personas would be to include the IP address with each post and or/post that IP address when one is chatting. This obviously has some implications, like MAYBE allowing someone who was lurking about to track someone down, but not very likely, as IP addresses change with each new logon. That is to say that if someone were to use another identity, they would have to login and logout/release thier IP address every time they wanted to use another persona and not get caught.

  Sincerely,

  John Walker

  the u.s. government is returning john walker to the states for trial.

  what do you consider an appropriate punishment for his mis-deeds?.

  i think, he should be[if found guilty]stipped of his citizenship and returned to somewhere in the mideast to spend the rest of his life,with no possibility to return to the u.s. for any reason.

  Let him go in the U.S.,,,I sincerely doubt he would get a warm reception from most and definitely could not go out in public. Kind of like a national shunning perhaps.

  Sorry for your loss. I just wanted to add that JWs will do what they want in reagards the memorialization of the dead. When my grandfather died they had the memorial service at the funeral home, although my grandfather had left the WT many, many, years earlier and wanted nothing to do with the Society. The family never got to get up and say anything. Just a JW elder to talk about the resurrection and his vague rememberance of my favorite. It was my parent's doing, but I have SLOWLY come to realize they were following thier conscience, albeit askew. So, I would say, somewhat like Thomas Poole, if you have the option to have a solemn moment alone with the deceased then do so and call it good. If you intend to go to the Hall for a service don't engage them in debate, and if they are people with any kind of humanity, they won't engage you either. Go, but don't put yourself in the middle of "theocratic" discussion. Its the only way I have ever survived going to the Hall or elsewhere for funerals that JWs surround.

  Towing Jehovah is a great book. Terribly funny and has some profound statements about man's relationship w/Dog.

  A DOOM & GLOOMER AFTER MY OWN HEART

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the controversy regarding the future is my no means confined to apostate dubs and jehovah's witnesses.

  many other than "bible thumpers" can see big trouble looming just around the next bend.

  of course they are ridiculed too by those with opposing views.

  The JWs aren't the only ones. Take a look at these freaks...they sound like some divergent JW group...

  i'd like some feedback from any of you guys who've used ouija boards.

  i havent tried yet myself but plan to sometime in the near future.

  most people who i talked to that have used them said they've usually got negative feedback from the spirits.

  jolly, the Ouija is just like the Paradise on Earth Book. You have to believe in it to scare the hell out of yourself.
