Fun With Email (but not if you're naive)
by COMF inin the past few days i've received three emails from sources i don't know that had .bat and .exe files attached along with a picture.
for you who don't know, these files are executable; that means, they are programs that do things.
they are the stuff viruses are made of.. how to handle this: before you open an email, look to see if it has attachments.

"The Pope"
by Blackcat inanyone here have an elder in their congregation who thought he was the head of the congregation ?.
the elder in our congregation was looked up to as god himself by the faithful dubs in the cong.
hence in circles he was nicknamed "the pope".. he even had his own reserved seat in the kingdom hall which no -one dared sit in, it was the only chair in the hall that had armrests on it.....and that was "the popes" seat.

Blood Issue
by rebel injust a quick point - it may already have been covered.
if jws can now take blood components, where do they think the components come from?
don't they realise that someone has had to lie on a hospital bed for an hour or so whilst a pint of blood is taken from them?

So How Bad Is The World REALLY?
by Englishman inin the uk, if you drop a wallet in the road in error, what are the chances of it being handed in to a police station by the finder with all the contents still intact?.
when i read that in the times some weeks ago, i was very skeptical.
then i thought of all the people that i know, friends, aquaintances and pub pals, and i reckon that 90% of them are basically honest with their fellow man.

Mum needs help - Part 2!
by LostinSpace inthanks to all that responded to my post yesterday...it helped a lot..... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=41622&site=3.
unfortunately my mother seems to have been to a meeting last night and was a complete stranger to me on the telephone last night - she has never been like that to me before - i was shocked - but i didnt "rock the boat" any more - i was calm and was compasionate, but mum was defensive and defending her beleifs and stating that i must of been mis-informed by someone about their religion.
to me this wasn't my mum - but she was just a puppet saying what she's been "told" to say by someone from kh - im adamant about that (i think i know her very well).. anyway, at least the conversation ended well, where i now have an opportunity to write (yes, you heard it) write my concerns in a letter and send it to her....my first thoughts were great...hopefully she'll be able to meet me halfway and see where im coming from...then it dawned on me..."what if she is being told what to say" - then my letter would be defended by another jw (or maybe herself.....).. this is where (hopefully) you guy's come in...where so i start?...i dont want to be over-informative in the letter - this would look like weird i think....... id like to write all the good stuff about my mum in the letter, be positive about our relationship, what we can build on etc etc, and just put a few thoughts here and there for her to ponder over about the wtbs and other issues like blood...which issues would you as exjw's put in there....remember the issue's that first made you think about the integrity of the whole org?...
